“I hate this part.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Qp7QQewa
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.287Please respect copyright.PENANADbP8i1z7Nm
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAb0e4UAjkuX
“Rhim!”287Please respect copyright.PENANAzYTyEgtViw
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.287Please respect copyright.PENANA3sMJZk1L6y
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a287Please respect copyright.PENANAhRyCNlSCwP
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAsLXR7eKyyk
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much287Please respect copyright.PENANANRGy58Xi2E
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick287Please respect copyright.PENANAgWpA2zbGFx
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...287Please respect copyright.PENANApOCGRDOWIB
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry287Please respect copyright.PENANAhQjgn0ZrXg
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit287Please respect copyright.PENANA0xd8odzOfW
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of287Please respect copyright.PENANAHzAE15ZbeE
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five287Please respect copyright.PENANAeGaaCcqiCC
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now287Please respect copyright.PENANAoR9idJoxWJ
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even287Please respect copyright.PENANAGTNe0c8pYL
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any287Please respect copyright.PENANA7QtlwGXWSO
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the287Please respect copyright.PENANAm2QIR9xILG
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.287Please respect copyright.PENANAr4udXXZhqW
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”287Please respect copyright.PENANAMOsAwRoqjR
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their287Please respect copyright.PENANAF7MVZU5ynj
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared287Please respect copyright.PENANAFQb6oceQFc
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that287Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8sU3pyBcU
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned287Please respect copyright.PENANA2MT1gi4dep
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to287Please respect copyright.PENANAx7raDVazgV
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling287Please respect copyright.PENANA2uUgkwrgym
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself287Please respect copyright.PENANAJhpF8JAtSg
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of287Please respect copyright.PENANAuuokWI9Rxz
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the287Please respect copyright.PENANADJkHQnJKqr
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go287Please respect copyright.PENANAyZeTFiepoa
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.287Please respect copyright.PENANAy7oqsWqUEf
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,287Please respect copyright.PENANArsUferSI8q
“In three... two... one... Mark!”287Please respect copyright.PENANAuhA2zJ2m75
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one287Please respect copyright.PENANAqW2fuRHIMR
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance287Please respect copyright.PENANAoJY4LjhwGy
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.287Please respect copyright.PENANA61Wzb0gSEA
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority287Please respect copyright.PENANAOA3R1OlK7s
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around287Please respect copyright.PENANATOowJg3LDj
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and287Please respect copyright.PENANAhmZfd54uQT
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.287Please respect copyright.PENANAokJVeaC14y
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their287Please respect copyright.PENANAtVwNpRChlC
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach287Please respect copyright.PENANAHpo8bf3Grp
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows287Please respect copyright.PENANAb4vYHNnWwm
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became287Please respect copyright.PENANApV3su8Gk22
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe287Please respect copyright.PENANAECB269V5rr
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly287Please respect copyright.PENANAVTkrV17Fne
more and then impact was finally made...287Please respect copyright.PENANAC0JhjxObjU
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than287Please respect copyright.PENANAZqecVj9Qip
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of287Please respect copyright.PENANA40d14crG93
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found287Please respect copyright.PENANACdJm8RPrE9
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.287Please respect copyright.PENANAguHWxWZun3
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has287Please respect copyright.PENANATfGLaEjChD
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to287Please respect copyright.PENANAjFbef0aKPf
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any287Please respect copyright.PENANAlgMPmZUavn
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this287Please respect copyright.PENANAMybDobVtgJ
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of287Please respect copyright.PENANAXFeS6gnG1R
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
