“I hate this part.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyICPHotc
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRlGwj8GrL
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem3tZLrSsu
“Rhim!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX3gr5qE3Y
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcvGvpULAP
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fHzss27Kr
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldEtw6irWw
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipA8I828rG
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNt6g8aEdk
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE118ktGzI
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYg2WDlTnF
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbLWgS85iA
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6xKFHbl4m
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnuN2hUJX5
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAIY6ZXtdA
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53KzZYxn5D
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXJCuux4k8
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTQ9yDdiY
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kwWG9KEre
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM9JXqJQ8g
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIlBsFhd7u
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWewIyc28OO
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgxrvXfk5Z
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8lGCi0Z4p
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE36jwx4PeZ
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyP8GNLbqh
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjeqBk0xOI
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Yry6zaWR
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym51vRZGki
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA4EEi3KS6
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvS54wi8kU
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTsZF130Dj
“In three... two... one... Mark!”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNbvq2B25y
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ImWWkEpF
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3yaeFkFyC
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ljQ66zKc
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYpHxLualL
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjGDr5wcam
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9kDKZA74w
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi1c19b2uA
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew8dlJilpb
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgThJ3sfcD2
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8krFkUVBq
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRh00LkHlO
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMbr3m9zs
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRVKAAPAm6
more and then impact was finally made...290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Ffh8Wa6S
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7mw7zTYv
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEVgktasES
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPktVAAgGrF
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABbr1mFK0W
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9XxkIcBdH
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRgu36eKI
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKSrhGCbuV
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7j1Fsodu
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk62jyxcQKT
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ959VGKbj5d
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAYV7dgI7l
