It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bzOuo91HR
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74V7grgKq3
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfZraUZmdr
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMMyMOZZHT
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsizvKzSqUI
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaXirI4MFL
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs8cjFXrQg
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GDzWx2yQ
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW3WQFcUti
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJcVIyyrRw
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCsNLR0oB
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6hnwxINni
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4Fe2AXxZC
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9lebdp37j
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTa35LMhwu
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lHEkmYCbo
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndm5O2JJ3g
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1FgKYKbI9
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRG7TUk0qp
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke7ZFFGu0V
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDE9jygYt6
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrc1hG3iZU
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSGL4q0Ojg
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsIgZoBq9p
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5NoU5tciB
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGqomwDjfx
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoY8yZpOLs
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QPqkPakjc
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPfiTmXEW
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OCFgf7ya7
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD2E7XGLZD
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNWvvY7q7a
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndNZXYNzLq
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNkEFC0Kqw
patiently.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrFXQLySdB
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Pc1u4PPm
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2tMmvgZ0
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r1h37pXoT
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaitU6n7t9
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZLZEIycRK
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXdX7GEXNh
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmrsBNKXJS
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBFDWnFA79
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpdo0uXJIQ
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufc0ehy1yP
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UaLXXp4KN
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h31Nuj4H2
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MNLD59Bz8
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdViWB89d
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QCFpeIMI
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6357o3aiV
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEQnz5wPWg
weather and all.”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tmpFYPQF3
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUh8fblPHG
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgBKxql9x3
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMc8IgNAyC
Rhim, you go first.”393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuKMEJv6m5
