“I hate this part.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk120sDjPzS
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTzXmOUr0B
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMlOMhdtIQ
“Rhim!”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTJubE8ZWM
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ATBa4pEG
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0euNhIdzL7
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ736veBj9Tn
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwBYykDP5o
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFeNyJR48n
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC7Md8xbZA
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRZmZAHFMg
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Q88MTu31
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRKncORcq5
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8i8JH74I9
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvWQvp4XP
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoRFQUYQdo
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZYVNq5So
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOXYN9kulJ
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4PBG4VOAi
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgyEwFhz7X
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy24fI7uvnB
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqqAnyu9jc
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyez3qQds8M
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMYN19sxG
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx5NJIFSYY
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimnT0Tb9Oo
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7nlWDOITR
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V5aYPNcUe
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6jzYwxKyt
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSn0MQnbJk
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bx2E6fUDt
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE9uiqyFby
“In three... two... one... Mark!”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueGq6VNddP
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhFzb3Emja
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC4d1WVSZM
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3TDN369n
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbOq8Yr7Ry
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgii6w7UNqK
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYfw4uTk7V
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xoAF9MrLf
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTplpk60SQi
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zduyjztL
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsimmsVVrcW
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPU88S47a
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwu2aeXfVv
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPGWyjNKk
more and then impact was finally made...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOf940cwgW
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdAOJxko6W
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMDNqYWelQ
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlf8eQgorF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvqsPAzQgd
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEYfITDrs
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0zjflz0U1
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIZ9ETHaEI
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMqAiRcQvw
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV0bVJZV39
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
