It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way328Please respect copyright.PENANA4Th9B99pWc
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a328Please respect copyright.PENANAnCn012FWJy
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft328Please respect copyright.PENANAl4nmxNNvwn
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not328Please respect copyright.PENANAyNg1TNDTG8
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way328Please respect copyright.PENANAIOHvlYTwsr
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and328Please respect copyright.PENANAwCPrWeLlpu
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be328Please respect copyright.PENANApnSVnSqgBf
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern328Please respect copyright.PENANAZhDTfjTTMh
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many328Please respect copyright.PENANAH5qXWiXhaS
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many328Please respect copyright.PENANA1mjxzmCnIO
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to328Please respect copyright.PENANAH6J890mDh5
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,328Please respect copyright.PENANAqbOjdPlAR1
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim328Please respect copyright.PENANAM4lkCb3DGP
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible328Please respect copyright.PENANAZt5dLHFwZM
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have328Please respect copyright.PENANAZE5aOh7IWX
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim328Please respect copyright.PENANA50uXYVGe7F
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few328Please respect copyright.PENANA9JHfzMtcw1
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...328Please respect copyright.PENANAivKOOzvH9s
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after328Please respect copyright.PENANAIzcuNN8G98
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.328Please respect copyright.PENANA7iPdCRWvC0
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the328Please respect copyright.PENANAqjCUcCwLJZ
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.328Please respect copyright.PENANAel9QpMiwzF
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept328Please respect copyright.PENANA1bB6fawpu1
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...328Please respect copyright.PENANAqSwHwrkf1Q
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword328Please respect copyright.PENANAY9CE1d00UT
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”328Please respect copyright.PENANAC4gn4NI9RR
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous328Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wBVpxzZM
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on328Please respect copyright.PENANALJipAhh7xM
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.328Please respect copyright.PENANAzYwiaogQYZ
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice328Please respect copyright.PENANArLOOkGxx0O
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept328Please respect copyright.PENANAskkUjkesUI
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...328Please respect copyright.PENANAVCmM851yqA
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,328Please respect copyright.PENANAN04PoDm4sZ
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting328Please respect copyright.PENANAY0X5xGfwNO
patiently.328Please respect copyright.PENANAos8Rvqipak
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”328Please respect copyright.PENANAsCrsbADip8
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having328Please respect copyright.PENANAys8sTU3yqy
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”328Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nj6dnQd5n
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking328Please respect copyright.PENANAZA4uH2Yjz3
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”328Please respect copyright.PENANARE5M8G5Kqf
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving328Please respect copyright.PENANA8Oit7KLfKo
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”328Please respect copyright.PENANAte4LVvmJuD
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time328Please respect copyright.PENANAp6laTjuz9L
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain328Please respect copyright.PENANA4fcueHOuIH
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things328Please respect copyright.PENANAoKbdmZPYih
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”328Please respect copyright.PENANA8kf59eMEp5
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the328Please respect copyright.PENANAdYByzt6rXB
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”328Please respect copyright.PENANAET4B2jb0tT
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of328Please respect copyright.PENANAV0GlWPspYb
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were328Please respect copyright.PENANAA8CygUy5vN
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for328Please respect copyright.PENANASP0OGWLDGZ
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty328Please respect copyright.PENANAgSuuvmOoot
weather and all.”328Please respect copyright.PENANASRA639YiDK
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file328Please respect copyright.PENANA6NIAPtPVVy
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we328Please respect copyright.PENANA48YrAXxoPV
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.328Please respect copyright.PENANAlrwsGACNcZ
Rhim, you go first.”328Please respect copyright.PENANAveKZin3EjE
