“Landfall”

Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the415Please respect copyright.PENANAktiLGIpTLh
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they415Please respect copyright.PENANAyc7tRKA6uy
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few415Please respect copyright.PENANAlf7OrP6Zwo
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to415Please respect copyright.PENANAcNzZMRomAK
travel anywhere undetected.415Please respect copyright.PENANADLVAVjn5bd
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so415Please respect copyright.PENANAMJFZIeKY1D
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.415Please respect copyright.PENANAkFJnPrQbX1
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting415Please respect copyright.PENANAv8do5JawKZ
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed415Please respect copyright.PENANASLasEQ6DK4
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now415Please respect copyright.PENANAI6Yr7VYeFy
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are415Please respect copyright.PENANAuOjJGIN2AN
getting closer.415Please respect copyright.PENANAbiy4yikTCY
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly415Please respect copyright.PENANA9SCWi3yV84
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what415Please respect copyright.PENANAPWKdlAJyEV
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying415Please respect copyright.PENANAdPDWhpoJWY
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one415Please respect copyright.PENANAdJuFrTMEV5
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to415Please respect copyright.PENANAsscytAkrjd
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that415Please respect copyright.PENANAImfwIBxmsO
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when415Please respect copyright.PENANAqhpI2Tcmhw
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses415Please respect copyright.PENANAu7nXxIniYl
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a415Please respect copyright.PENANAKEt57x9W6S
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time415Please respect copyright.PENANAj77PX7H66F
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar415Please respect copyright.PENANAWsl8RrOJ1A
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard415Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0MsEvw4h3
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually415Please respect copyright.PENANAHyTRTVgqnZ
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys415Please respect copyright.PENANALnXXuurae9
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.415Please respect copyright.PENANAAKPsoCaLMP
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they415Please respect copyright.PENANAsBKgnxC4fC
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the415Please respect copyright.PENANAk2gGK7pRq5
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,415Please respect copyright.PENANATEPwv2QaIv
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else415Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVaGB1jwX
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all415Please respect copyright.PENANApQFN9vdd1p
sorts of preposterous scenarios.415Please respect copyright.PENANAUCEHzTKiag
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never415Please respect copyright.PENANAOwZ1fmB1VK
failed their king, not once.415Please respect copyright.PENANAq1lREX3ouj
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.415Please respect copyright.PENANAFmMzR2xvxx
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the415Please respect copyright.PENANAUgSACc1jiD
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing415Please respect copyright.PENANAyqISWf9u1B
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no415Please respect copyright.PENANAb93Zxw4f4S
amount of rain or thunder is going to shake them. Fast has the Bolt Lander traversed415Please respect copyright.PENANAMuWtGK5cjK
the lands, faster than any other aircraft can, but this is the rarest occurrence for very415Please respect copyright.PENANA2mC6Axdo4t

while making sure it never arrives in second place.415Please respect copyright.PENANAVaDhF7XbP3
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is415Please respect copyright.PENANAt1pmVxifL8
its best quality.
