It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGMdHLmpyx
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxQaqLG031
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzr5J6o6zh
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlpV2TQ2V
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG59qLpWrT
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWN1boufcf
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpFspXyW0v
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNACrB747jN
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenxutgJjwR
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dImWUXs6q
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCEBb4DBMf
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV38qsNvYs3
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30of7asni4
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwTCkHJO1
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj8LNj0bTo
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyk7tNEqHG
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNj3qU5Kui
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HHRcckI1
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtb9aeXfzp
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4MZnn6YVp
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXxEeyEvms
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEopjdk1EF1
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoDNkxE8ur
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfniNKPG6Nc
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv7GGjIyXu
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGGuNCP4rl
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl7cKZThz8
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRsIRBTSfM
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJfSbxOTr
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEt1tv4RSC
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW4rAK4eKw
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmyqiB2eRb
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuSu9QjGcl
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8uzFc11po
patiently.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ4H9LfmbN
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNCZHvODql
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoY5K7rFCJ
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGene4AhaY
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB7pbAgLRh
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUcbAhnprs
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJre8fH37
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCO9cvorfX
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyVKJpDuVZ
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KO2JVJiwf
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjbKsa067n
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBF5GFy7JJ
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2AwYteGk
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJLc1yD8z
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3VOVNKSb2
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskvE5l4ySA
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9Q5Jwezz
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKK0qKDm5X
weather and all.”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YbdX6QwiN
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgimvycdgat
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfrXbr23bP
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJWhzf4Kl
Rhim, you go first.”366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlgGr299It
