It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way110Please respect copyright.PENANAyLcLJuzvgV
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a110Please respect copyright.PENANAWUAaRqc3Jb
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft110Please respect copyright.PENANArqRyIGSJnt
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not110Please respect copyright.PENANAr6YT6XalMf
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way110Please respect copyright.PENANAubXRGnUjMB
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and110Please respect copyright.PENANAYwnCu7J8ER
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be110Please respect copyright.PENANA8WgaYZP7md
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern110Please respect copyright.PENANA5F1dqcDZUr
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many110Please respect copyright.PENANAGUAaM4lo8x
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many110Please respect copyright.PENANAk8BWtkCH1V
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to110Please respect copyright.PENANA9o9EJFgFnF
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,110Please respect copyright.PENANAHumSXhoLZQ
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim110Please respect copyright.PENANAGdbYWUQviV
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible110Please respect copyright.PENANAJgRTIZubcA
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have110Please respect copyright.PENANALgfs9TwyJw
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim110Please respect copyright.PENANA8MXbLvcuyw
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few110Please respect copyright.PENANAdwijlgIwaf
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...110Please respect copyright.PENANAWmgKddYVdi
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after110Please respect copyright.PENANAd667eJSN1S
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.110Please respect copyright.PENANAEcSMaEnqR1
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the110Please respect copyright.PENANARoRnfz24Ys
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.110Please respect copyright.PENANACMdyLWgm2u
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept110Please respect copyright.PENANAohdDWsanNG
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...110Please respect copyright.PENANAFg7Qg2qzuE
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword110Please respect copyright.PENANAlhQcH3dkjp
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAfWK58fRUkQ
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous110Please respect copyright.PENANAwlwKRSy7Km
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on110Please respect copyright.PENANAZUmM1jVBv9
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.110Please respect copyright.PENANA2QfoIZHC7H
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4GjS3LEmH
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept110Please respect copyright.PENANACZSk7Z4wgi
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...110Please respect copyright.PENANAb9MQOPhpJs
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,110Please respect copyright.PENANAeGRU71B4sF
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting110Please respect copyright.PENANAubMyEG8W36
patiently.110Please respect copyright.PENANA1sjBQdsWyq
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAYi3KUwaQ5a
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having110Please respect copyright.PENANAD2xG31q6xB
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”110Please respect copyright.PENANA8TyhTAkc3m
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking110Please respect copyright.PENANA7DUFpwmoQG
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”110Please respect copyright.PENANAOh18WWMpPO
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving110Please respect copyright.PENANA0bccw0Qvd4
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”110Please respect copyright.PENANA6sh7fWKLKK
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time110Please respect copyright.PENANAyTYLgTvV7Z
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain110Please respect copyright.PENANA0sTAVT1q7P
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things110Please respect copyright.PENANAH1iMAq2sfk
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”110Please respect copyright.PENANA32s9z7hKtp
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the110Please respect copyright.PENANAuglAysFI8L
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAw6BYqgyyx3
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of110Please respect copyright.PENANAi7lGo3Rw9V
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were110Please respect copyright.PENANAOGWi4Vfw4R
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for110Please respect copyright.PENANAOXJCLDO4HX
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty110Please respect copyright.PENANA2gR8vxZgtE
weather and all.”110Please respect copyright.PENANA7WEwSqmm0D
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file110Please respect copyright.PENANA4vEj0of9bw
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we110Please respect copyright.PENANAF6saV3p0pA
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.110Please respect copyright.PENANAK0teaqnsDj
Rhim, you go first.”110Please respect copyright.PENANAxojuNCRL5o
