It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way451Please respect copyright.PENANARBsiBKlQ85
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a451Please respect copyright.PENANArfnf5oB4Cb
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft451Please respect copyright.PENANAzd1znjIGuF
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not451Please respect copyright.PENANAVC67MDR8IZ
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way451Please respect copyright.PENANAJQZ3AYZwxo
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and451Please respect copyright.PENANAAI3EYCaA4K
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be451Please respect copyright.PENANA2EG9qeqcAT
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern451Please respect copyright.PENANA5m3DLhOcIE
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many451Please respect copyright.PENANAbBxBs0EwNp
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many451Please respect copyright.PENANANfboUVf8El
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to451Please respect copyright.PENANAsTkb7JdVKH
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,451Please respect copyright.PENANA0VVFBLu64u
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim451Please respect copyright.PENANAB5T0RD5ok0
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible451Please respect copyright.PENANA2sXxX6u0cI
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have451Please respect copyright.PENANARvZPr9UQ5C
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim451Please respect copyright.PENANAnwH1XaCrxi
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few451Please respect copyright.PENANAXp671mid8S
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...451Please respect copyright.PENANAbfmiH3ZEKe
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after451Please respect copyright.PENANArDtJPdCdkT
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.451Please respect copyright.PENANAC42w1Zst0H
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the451Please respect copyright.PENANAkMxmBTuav5
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.451Please respect copyright.PENANA3nyVIsWUe3
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept451Please respect copyright.PENANA6QZRMhKpQB
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...451Please respect copyright.PENANAa0RuMmhS2f
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword451Please respect copyright.PENANAgv4GR5REMf
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”451Please respect copyright.PENANAz2fGWdVkY3
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous451Please respect copyright.PENANAg3I5rDKboC
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on451Please respect copyright.PENANAydmIHSkqUg
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.451Please respect copyright.PENANATzh6gBjqNz
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice451Please respect copyright.PENANAgCHgrGWiik
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept451Please respect copyright.PENANAXykrbJmWZv
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...451Please respect copyright.PENANALGD0COrBWQ
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,451Please respect copyright.PENANAKSlkTtAFf9
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting451Please respect copyright.PENANA5OFALL5koq
patiently.451Please respect copyright.PENANAoyuy2kGoNx
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”451Please respect copyright.PENANATO14fYyNwH
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having451Please respect copyright.PENANABbn8MleKYu
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”451Please respect copyright.PENANAm6qw8Z7jjU
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking451Please respect copyright.PENANAbNOdqCpxUN
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”451Please respect copyright.PENANANAdvciqGiw
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving451Please respect copyright.PENANA2ERL1VrwDj
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”451Please respect copyright.PENANAeOSccOuLVH
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time451Please respect copyright.PENANAv1nJ4CIOPV
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain451Please respect copyright.PENANApNa0fXuOWc
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things451Please respect copyright.PENANAJsBYMgvIR3
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”451Please respect copyright.PENANAJL7W1mKcfP
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the451Please respect copyright.PENANA3fiv2u6eB1
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”451Please respect copyright.PENANAuGExleNOs4
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of451Please respect copyright.PENANAcZd7JodyGZ
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were451Please respect copyright.PENANAmK3xz3HOFr
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for451Please respect copyright.PENANAn3TXQextAP
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty451Please respect copyright.PENANAquXpS667e0
weather and all.”451Please respect copyright.PENANAOHShBMh6kr
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file451Please respect copyright.PENANAOoKNmhyHEP
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we451Please respect copyright.PENANA6bAQ5Ux6ZE
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.451Please respect copyright.PENANA89kmvV8iwR
Rhim, you go first.”451Please respect copyright.PENANAEJIgRhqNdN
