“I hate this part.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAC44vofEzFh
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.349Please respect copyright.PENANAXFhNqitL3I
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”349Please respect copyright.PENANA933hGQvtXN
“Rhim!”349Please respect copyright.PENANA5gawYl2WM7
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.349Please respect copyright.PENANA6epaajVaiC
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a349Please respect copyright.PENANAOui6GxqEsP
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”349Please respect copyright.PENANALx54PzS2Z7
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much349Please respect copyright.PENANA9lnQ2bNbI4
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick349Please respect copyright.PENANAy0WyEgKFlN
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...349Please respect copyright.PENANAThDPvuOxjI
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry349Please respect copyright.PENANA4MhIPnY9n5
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit349Please respect copyright.PENANArMLdcleSvz
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of349Please respect copyright.PENANArxyFpIbhTB
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five349Please respect copyright.PENANANTLVAxjpoo
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now349Please respect copyright.PENANALLBePpMFBU
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even349Please respect copyright.PENANAA6LDLThxPn
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any349Please respect copyright.PENANAVpsZdT791Z
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the349Please respect copyright.PENANAD1eGEriXNV
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.349Please respect copyright.PENANAXUx6FDNRjg
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”349Please respect copyright.PENANAhXYb05VROi
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their349Please respect copyright.PENANARxnJc8RWsE
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared349Please respect copyright.PENANAFbMWjISBpo
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that349Please respect copyright.PENANATNEfBcfDfD
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned349Please respect copyright.PENANAyOHahFcotV
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to349Please respect copyright.PENANAtgiOqaZxYP
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling349Please respect copyright.PENANAER5kgQIvwO
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself349Please respect copyright.PENANA9e6fS4Flxn
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of349Please respect copyright.PENANAO6tnVQHMgs
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the349Please respect copyright.PENANAHyZZcSjxFf
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go349Please respect copyright.PENANA4IkjTP9opE
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.349Please respect copyright.PENANAWBIXSbNxE2
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,349Please respect copyright.PENANA3dKthcl5Ji
“In three... two... one... Mark!”349Please respect copyright.PENANACp3yvFh807
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one349Please respect copyright.PENANA42KAXWKLlo
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance349Please respect copyright.PENANA01GjGWqF41
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.349Please respect copyright.PENANAjPxX2VMGFm
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority349Please respect copyright.PENANAxuOc3p7I95
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around349Please respect copyright.PENANAU183bccSN8
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and349Please respect copyright.PENANAYu0Tf9k5V3
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.349Please respect copyright.PENANAKDqKJkTleN
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their349Please respect copyright.PENANA5regpYpYbD
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach349Please respect copyright.PENANACptnKXorMw
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows349Please respect copyright.PENANAl67JJrxgZM
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became349Please respect copyright.PENANA1evAL8YT5b
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe349Please respect copyright.PENANAoH7yIKvRhb
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly349Please respect copyright.PENANA76YRYLY4F2
more and then impact was finally made...349Please respect copyright.PENANA0wn9fxoV1A
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than349Please respect copyright.PENANAajKadXN3yf
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of349Please respect copyright.PENANAYZwcFGKpLx
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found349Please respect copyright.PENANAdZgNIUB2Fb
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.349Please respect copyright.PENANAb292PYbSPo
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has349Please respect copyright.PENANA6f3QUI5ktm
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to349Please respect copyright.PENANAtqgoH6YIMm
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any349Please respect copyright.PENANAUl9lAwB4PU
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this349Please respect copyright.PENANAM20gGBGtBW
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of349Please respect copyright.PENANAEAdnWbi17r
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,349Please respect copyright.PENANAAw7Z7JIEPh
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”349Please respect copyright.PENANAt9nFTDOPfb
