It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way114Please respect copyright.PENANA7tuXaol7EX
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a114Please respect copyright.PENANAYFqN8V5Y4S
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft114Please respect copyright.PENANAy4QmpB4hkV
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not114Please respect copyright.PENANArknptIbx77
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way114Please respect copyright.PENANApCkDiRGkef
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and114Please respect copyright.PENANAcU3MB7ESFy
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be114Please respect copyright.PENANAAnME30obwp
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern114Please respect copyright.PENANA6XfvTEBGxb
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many114Please respect copyright.PENANAf0xusF7GP1
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many114Please respect copyright.PENANAZwtXIYgTBn
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to114Please respect copyright.PENANAEy28MnsHkB
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,114Please respect copyright.PENANAT3n0FfPBF9
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim114Please respect copyright.PENANAGeWpkVUPNn
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible114Please respect copyright.PENANApAevswotAl
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have114Please respect copyright.PENANALJETOzi8pl
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim114Please respect copyright.PENANAsScUTbzsFX
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few114Please respect copyright.PENANAYgO8RijNr8
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...114Please respect copyright.PENANAsiWQ5NBGun
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after114Please respect copyright.PENANAsmHUUtAZxJ
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.114Please respect copyright.PENANAtFkLNh58gG
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the114Please respect copyright.PENANAFjsSWlipU6
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.114Please respect copyright.PENANArygB7KcAAK
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept114Please respect copyright.PENANA5BwyIZLTUZ
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...114Please respect copyright.PENANApMZSsHRgQn
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword114Please respect copyright.PENANA9HWdpfxN4G
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”114Please respect copyright.PENANASnMG2HQse0
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous114Please respect copyright.PENANA0OERP2GDHK
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on114Please respect copyright.PENANAfEeAgXIERD
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.114Please respect copyright.PENANAunRDoZ8soF
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice114Please respect copyright.PENANAYzfPuMKLPD
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept114Please respect copyright.PENANAijMwyLroMg
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...114Please respect copyright.PENANAYRrcmV6EFm
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,114Please respect copyright.PENANAD2bqaA9UCd
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting114Please respect copyright.PENANAbh329V6sp2
patiently.114Please respect copyright.PENANAcOSbba2TrP
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”114Please respect copyright.PENANAizy4BoUQWJ
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having114Please respect copyright.PENANAMp1YkrINeq
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”114Please respect copyright.PENANAXmAKdVY22O
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking114Please respect copyright.PENANAFZeh1mYA2G
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”114Please respect copyright.PENANAt7UkiclaSq
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving114Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gh2CFTo3a
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”114Please respect copyright.PENANAKn8Jp9dkrh
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time114Please respect copyright.PENANA7jL5JNlnVW
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain114Please respect copyright.PENANAlv9vSAzwrC
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things114Please respect copyright.PENANAWy5ALOrwHJ
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”114Please respect copyright.PENANAN7ALT99E9h
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the114Please respect copyright.PENANAXmWOCTbxND
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”114Please respect copyright.PENANAK8LAeMjpER
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of114Please respect copyright.PENANAkSCgyTqJM2
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were114Please respect copyright.PENANA3oLECXqHtc
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for114Please respect copyright.PENANAOrvHOTTHvU
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty114Please respect copyright.PENANANTU2nFGNV6
weather and all.”114Please respect copyright.PENANAbVfO4mmUOu
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file114Please respect copyright.PENANAtwZQWLKPFR
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we114Please respect copyright.PENANA7CUlZ9awh0
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.114Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ4cCpIiUK
Rhim, you go first.”114Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFyTGMqrm
