It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way327Please respect copyright.PENANAjyImnMgj3E
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a327Please respect copyright.PENANAdv7w27HnoU
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft327Please respect copyright.PENANA79sZVY9PBI
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not327Please respect copyright.PENANADPNfXtDeh5
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way327Please respect copyright.PENANAadye3PLkS4
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and327Please respect copyright.PENANABznPjF8GIS
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be327Please respect copyright.PENANAqqfDPdYNlF
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern327Please respect copyright.PENANA35uK17YM1N
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many327Please respect copyright.PENANAcjdZTIo6Ap
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many327Please respect copyright.PENANA5eZA0ErkTD
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to327Please respect copyright.PENANAobWvG4B2ej
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,327Please respect copyright.PENANAJZpbJ3Lxj9
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim327Please respect copyright.PENANAoUP84fpt6C
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible327Please respect copyright.PENANAX60MnCdHFp
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have327Please respect copyright.PENANA7BraWLoDax
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim327Please respect copyright.PENANAXZBipiLqO8
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few327Please respect copyright.PENANACYFhsGJCUq
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...327Please respect copyright.PENANAq4zRXYBmPg
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after327Please respect copyright.PENANAQomHZiBaRK
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.327Please respect copyright.PENANAijPa6PZ60y
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the327Please respect copyright.PENANABpJ4eAa2fb
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.327Please respect copyright.PENANAeEZoFzGhIE
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept327Please respect copyright.PENANAPHAFuxt9ud
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...327Please respect copyright.PENANAwhdrKvN1IU
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword327Please respect copyright.PENANA50rKWE8Wob
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAsnILqMjYft
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous327Please respect copyright.PENANAIKcZaCzCxk
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on327Please respect copyright.PENANAjCScgJAkiW
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.327Please respect copyright.PENANAnXuKpSORrm
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice327Please respect copyright.PENANAxALzDqezik
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept327Please respect copyright.PENANAJwDiAcbrKp
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...327Please respect copyright.PENANAtoGKDh3Zzm
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,327Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4AK0aJETv
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting327Please respect copyright.PENANAp90OMz30KD
patiently.327Please respect copyright.PENANAk0LFcaaJR2
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAZCcITc4ghb
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having327Please respect copyright.PENANAETND1jtSiE
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”327Please respect copyright.PENANAzkiq3DHPte
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking327Please respect copyright.PENANAAfusXxb4Ud
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”327Please respect copyright.PENANAV2llkPJOgD
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving327Please respect copyright.PENANAq92fKSIS3F
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAMTphaN0HJ1
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time327Please respect copyright.PENANAlqHJMLQSXi
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain327Please respect copyright.PENANAceM0MI0geR
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things327Please respect copyright.PENANAqstJy0Ns84
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”327Please respect copyright.PENANAom8tsKeYen
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the327Please respect copyright.PENANAFIunmGYe43
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAlrAuNtvV3f
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of327Please respect copyright.PENANAOZeKI4WgJ6
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were327Please respect copyright.PENANAaP5mChfxBm
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for327Please respect copyright.PENANALzhrD9ANmE
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty327Please respect copyright.PENANAD5bxqKnlEA
weather and all.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAM0V0KNukdq
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file327Please respect copyright.PENANAbzOpcP0qYG
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we327Please respect copyright.PENANA8dVprDsjxs
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.327Please respect copyright.PENANAvvLqJqtWpp
Rhim, you go first.”327Please respect copyright.PENANAaueamkMk33
