It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way349Please respect copyright.PENANAoTUiTUzjQ6
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a349Please respect copyright.PENANAHouvsZgQyq
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft349Please respect copyright.PENANAEpz4uf648G
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not349Please respect copyright.PENANAYwWtxh6va1
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way349Please respect copyright.PENANAhEouzxkpzT
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and349Please respect copyright.PENANAc7mFO5JrIc
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be349Please respect copyright.PENANAneBb3TynPt
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern349Please respect copyright.PENANAoESTDEVZYU
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many349Please respect copyright.PENANAVbjFAsA913
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many349Please respect copyright.PENANABnZ82nFpKu
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to349Please respect copyright.PENANAGu8AWsveUw
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,349Please respect copyright.PENANAwPOOUkIGou
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim349Please respect copyright.PENANAJcDoZyC19j
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible349Please respect copyright.PENANAh4XwihVix2
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have349Please respect copyright.PENANAc2LATzVlGV
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim349Please respect copyright.PENANAzR5YCBEJvF
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few349Please respect copyright.PENANAvYoGVtPTn3
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...349Please respect copyright.PENANAhGbEchNf8C
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after349Please respect copyright.PENANAx6cSaOwLFp
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.349Please respect copyright.PENANAW7TiJvFPs8
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the349Please respect copyright.PENANAgA41WCBqyE
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.349Please respect copyright.PENANA2UihGjPRVx
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept349Please respect copyright.PENANApXHuOzjsuJ
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...349Please respect copyright.PENANAwRIvsErWKF
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword349Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6XmEuxqXR
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAF7l56bhJR7
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous349Please respect copyright.PENANAtxGf2pwqrS
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on349Please respect copyright.PENANAHGPdBvtpVB
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.349Please respect copyright.PENANAsyLpisH1k3
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice349Please respect copyright.PENANAkBE3x4Rh4a
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept349Please respect copyright.PENANAXrrTjnxSn9
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...349Please respect copyright.PENANA3KWKkMqd1a
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,349Please respect copyright.PENANASYVbLayACX
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting349Please respect copyright.PENANALPYydUkprE
patiently.349Please respect copyright.PENANAeebPBclSVG
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAfch4qY0K4D
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having349Please respect copyright.PENANARO4K3IFxVO
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”349Please respect copyright.PENANAJn6A87Apvo
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking349Please respect copyright.PENANApWrAtYaxjm
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”349Please respect copyright.PENANAbcYIDe22kA
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving349Please respect copyright.PENANAOcGhcYGVDZ
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAdOWe8qYTIX
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time349Please respect copyright.PENANAuRqTG9GWXg
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain349Please respect copyright.PENANAyGm7SfQmGv
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things349Please respect copyright.PENANATv9AccYGqb
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”349Please respect copyright.PENANAx23rJmywcW
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the349Please respect copyright.PENANAm4p7FRhskH
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAUEcs18qtP9
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of349Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ZZZmJ34s
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were349Please respect copyright.PENANAnljY9rxrQg
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for349Please respect copyright.PENANAJBOHOeuFcy
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty349Please respect copyright.PENANATlaDLWFkx9
weather and all.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAusa2wPxQI0
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file349Please respect copyright.PENANA0PeAAqGFhp
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we349Please respect copyright.PENANAIyLor6JQw9
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.349Please respect copyright.PENANAPDykSE2b3d
Rhim, you go first.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAxACWMinoaH
