“I hate this part.”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTubHFanj1
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV8fRwcz7k
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qzVuBkDBu
“Rhim!”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC7XoBWYxv
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaK2ZrFWIs
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkIqWq7Naa
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvSYJqloG
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgk5Ckqgk
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGTFUTRxGd
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQFSAXbUDt
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdCtpE4vt
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZac8SQQO
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb0Ci8Xh7n
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVEHtr5F29
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDefOTZz6l
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTpfyES1QA
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y3aABcf4e
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGUz9O7sMZ
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN4KQeLqSx
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdaZSZfRq5
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHgcsE4xG
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGfhARKO4
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6NgL5CQ4e
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq4sjlJUlE
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHSNRiSQrJ
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX8kLhZB5f
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTVhWbVVdK
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CjW5dwpDx
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYGZpfxo0G
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVv8VDvb6S
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZyKQYCZOA
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUEs8lYZbl
“In three... two... one... Mark!”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAaEqgGf6z
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqvlpqvl7s
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3fcMFFr4b
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23oyXYjcD0
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC9XiwXmkS
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc9mYF4euW
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKNiznbL1u
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpvgxcDWX
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwacTbJ4bZ
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5jA201KZr
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthXR35BTCY
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Dd6ytjOK
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXCSWje1qG
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ugp8LmaQJ
more and then impact was finally made...405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZZbj8e2ew
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9HJyYq3HZ
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmM2rPomeM
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKq3BSNmeg
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnAfwGvCkM
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNtk0EmP2
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRXC6QnJG
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL4xvHwi5x
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBZIYuCwHC
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa0MvO25h0
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6P7bwiFrI
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2suafWmlA
