“I hate this part.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPWUvc1SDa
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCBexmT0yD
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcTUYh5wuq
“Rhim!”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6L8iQ4u6V
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvzc0bq9WR
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILXPQxnxuS
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQi7EwgAd
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNZlXcpLSd
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli3xPirIHc
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4JL1i378h
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7dQxbfoSR
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJh6JkAeXk
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplBVWrMGHJ
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbPMLf25SP
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwidBNsjBD3
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Z2z98ZMB
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWzxA9qa5V
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvsV7cGul0
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAuoCe60mZ
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLanDKXv2q
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7wiSK3KsV
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WQWcnmchR
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U2EJQO11u
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6bq0gfcfC
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHBsGtLWbl
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeyMzIsjZv
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLAHJH2Bx3
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7PZYGv8Gq
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8bc6z3NTL
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Txh2GQDR
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKlIYhSO63
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1GjvFujuW
“In three... two... one... Mark!”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixuL31yabQ
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLd66b9Qv
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn4aSHIPBY
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhciZ2eZQm0
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0metbH3ie
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzQbQG91iU
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4gYqJ5MEF
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsLZLXx3s9
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTDUTBoVyE
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClm0usAuCT
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gcboeI4HW
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Xv1XKWwm
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKV9WmbVB
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl4bBLFjxY
more and then impact was finally made...373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlKX8Rd5bh
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiuOOEGoMi
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOPVycAUZ1
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkWjZOTth9
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdkPAt9oiM
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTdvr7dtRQ
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrTRnag6QJ
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FL3KC66Na
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtCnHsS9HN
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZzQwyRLqz
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD62Nir6Wy
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJwgXF3cgH
