“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
