“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFk644wqp9
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsnSpueBt9
“Rhim!”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRqn9LMrnz
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoePbvqS4
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0JVAfsAA
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkh8D42aa
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ttUdNeJLf
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdO4voLJi
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ7f3gUgvJ
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamGsBQLEYW
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNVF6RUSr
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFABLYIPXz
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1VJdYu21
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct4Q3CgULk
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLwhE6dkSg
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD3A9r1H16
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLP41UCM8R
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KNxYg24gO
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY1TsPS4B5
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlNdn0mHzs
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xOGIRevWp
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgwS8NfLF7
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS2JPw6eXQ
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMmL0ACLvN
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFslV6wyyM
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqvrj6J7s7
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY2T6Z8pmE
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoy4q6pgmx
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQnCmXLIh
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx5zhd8TGw
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP3ZmPcbBm
“In three... two... one... Mark!”309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVdXMkhBhJ
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBMrhRtEw
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVlDYfBSAU
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTfdttXKZe
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwlvpMWEI
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWExcrk5rwg
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgnoMJ8dA
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwloJjjuj
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1oS3fchj
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOsGmdkCwW
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWDLWeXU2b
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9OpifcbsL
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8Nm8UqvP
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gG0Ik4xj8
more and then impact was finally made...309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC94az4PZP
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXQd66JVyq
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqQMXflLcq
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie6ki0kS0I
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2IUA7gs4
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfqWOk7pkm
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXglRV1eWro
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmCSsPUYW9
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7D8BltFCm
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqyfDGvuXe
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
