It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way309Please respect copyright.PENANAHI7UYaapdr
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a309Please respect copyright.PENANAcxPcIPibr3
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft309Please respect copyright.PENANAI1PZhaKf3D
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not309Please respect copyright.PENANAuPM6mwacK9
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way309Please respect copyright.PENANAJyvicIIA9P
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and309Please respect copyright.PENANATGTk88s6LC
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be309Please respect copyright.PENANA9cUw9p8A2V
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern309Please respect copyright.PENANArJQs8yOuDq
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many309Please respect copyright.PENANAtBNGHGnR7F
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many309Please respect copyright.PENANAxXTzXwIRjm
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to309Please respect copyright.PENANAzRavDDDZ4r
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,309Please respect copyright.PENANAaO9nhZDNdY
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim309Please respect copyright.PENANAtMqjGynt7B
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible309Please respect copyright.PENANAfM1gXzX3Zz
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have309Please respect copyright.PENANAa8tWNCSONB
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim309Please respect copyright.PENANAtCLXqdkpIk
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few309Please respect copyright.PENANAkUUJ7rs3bn
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...309Please respect copyright.PENANAT91jtyomMs
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after309Please respect copyright.PENANAGcUmRzJ2vy
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.309Please respect copyright.PENANAd2nCApaJV7
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the309Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ6HSUyEJb
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.309Please respect copyright.PENANAxU6BlBjNB7
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept309Please respect copyright.PENANAdm89WMbxhL
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...309Please respect copyright.PENANA1bZ8PvrhpT
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword309Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8iLGSaVoQ
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5gYiGiHOW
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous309Please respect copyright.PENANAletDscUhwV
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on309Please respect copyright.PENANAoTpEchb5Wc
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.309Please respect copyright.PENANAl653M440Dl
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice309Please respect copyright.PENANAGWRuayKbAs
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept309Please respect copyright.PENANAITDDA3wGjS
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...309Please respect copyright.PENANAtphjXAAnrx
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,309Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hypf4Ynox
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting309Please respect copyright.PENANAqI9plELHMR
patiently.309Please respect copyright.PENANAOIKwol3xkj
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAmxNdJBM9P4
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having309Please respect copyright.PENANApPukH4cPvT
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”309Please respect copyright.PENANAhhnS7DlusV
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking309Please respect copyright.PENANAq0RCQOSU0Y
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”309Please respect copyright.PENANAZvX93tx5Qv
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving309Please respect copyright.PENANA8GB2orKa0B
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”309Please respect copyright.PENANAUMQOCsxboh
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time309Please respect copyright.PENANAIRjaPYshtX
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain309Please respect copyright.PENANAVz9uOd0GZ8
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things309Please respect copyright.PENANAmdcxGd8lKi
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”309Please respect copyright.PENANAZNWF7ylgh2
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the309Please respect copyright.PENANARYL7KtXjYi
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAEHmNRMBDvl
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of309Please respect copyright.PENANAFrEQ3VQgPi
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were309Please respect copyright.PENANAoaYHzN49Se
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for309Please respect copyright.PENANAjXFvKovdkw
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty309Please respect copyright.PENANA6jsnkf5awV
weather and all.”309Please respect copyright.PENANA0HIrFzTilm
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file309Please respect copyright.PENANAyPeiFIhq0U
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we309Please respect copyright.PENANAA08cSpYpz5
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.309Please respect copyright.PENANAXhKm6CDbQZ
Rhim, you go first.”309Please respect copyright.PENANATuNfS5Msjw
