It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsJztGSpC5
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaiGmsCK3w
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1sCsNJ57B
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d24nR1BC1
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ww92wko7
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo5ZhAIPhn
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOn9he8Oh
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG8qsxjUsQ
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4PN0Fue3w
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcjGwyIop
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKKH9pczN2
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIiJlY5hru
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWeFoC5HQZ
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHYwjxjCYz
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51OFD4EaVC
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nuwgb7dod
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4p2CUrRy9
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgwJIyGF0t
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBakO8mUNj
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTbBbrJvxK
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7rK51YmX
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0SoQIaSad
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl7CRa6mgT
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWmzQUr6UM
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZP0XqlHlK
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXulwVyejB
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb79qT3cz18
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX10KcHn7z
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9MpcJaxmW
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SyQELQBqL
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF3EzbUvOQ
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDU1hCefoR
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYXtme4xKN
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPeSisOliw
patiently.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfTawU9YuN
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDtyssS00
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7XdfhxZm9
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUkcFxUngM
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8K2I9zaS9
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡashhcldNxp
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHIYRcPrNF
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjNck2wVPm
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhywifFTn6
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2srl0vBwLm
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvz0ohK2y2
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJoOw2oWra
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCaxkmsj1i
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe60UsUIgN
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsKu5DVeAI
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygXCypwoa8
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAbcgaWb4H
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7snvtqpXxc
weather and all.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1opnWwqfSc
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLblWGl2Yb
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraEnb2uySv
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmnv0EC4W0
Rhim, you go first.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8ZDmJBec
