It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way446Please respect copyright.PENANANRmxU2SYqR
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a446Please respect copyright.PENANAv64r8ycaM1
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft446Please respect copyright.PENANAXBhiBB4Wns
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not446Please respect copyright.PENANAESmRi7WV55
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way446Please respect copyright.PENANAO0ZTW7lmH4
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and446Please respect copyright.PENANAJOeGOfla62
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be446Please respect copyright.PENANAkOKDBbSu6U
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern446Please respect copyright.PENANActxeJsgOgC
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many446Please respect copyright.PENANAImTbj0bA5G
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many446Please respect copyright.PENANAZOoRVflBKD
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to446Please respect copyright.PENANAgADgM9Dgdp
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,446Please respect copyright.PENANASQ5ONCXs0M
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim446Please respect copyright.PENANAm9iYbFrOP4
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible446Please respect copyright.PENANAtSdyEVqF2j
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have446Please respect copyright.PENANAuKAcji2hbc
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim446Please respect copyright.PENANAUAgUSKjLkW
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few446Please respect copyright.PENANA9kudqeKafq
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...446Please respect copyright.PENANAbzvVXwhI9e
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after446Please respect copyright.PENANAdZjMO36pIl
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.446Please respect copyright.PENANAVJdowRSgah
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the446Please respect copyright.PENANA3hMxzR01UL
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.446Please respect copyright.PENANAukNBOL15wW
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept446Please respect copyright.PENANAxK8KMo6NDM
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...446Please respect copyright.PENANAZMYbNEwbqi
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword446Please respect copyright.PENANAdI9FrRGunl
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”446Please respect copyright.PENANAjj3Kupblnc
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous446Please respect copyright.PENANAmFx3n8V82s
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on446Please respect copyright.PENANArvJLcDt6ab
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.446Please respect copyright.PENANAqHnL8KDPWc
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice446Please respect copyright.PENANAb4swWS39oe
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept446Please respect copyright.PENANAhewGbpsqLR
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...446Please respect copyright.PENANA39OIAp0BYH
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,446Please respect copyright.PENANAFWP5qTsAF2
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting446Please respect copyright.PENANAUr6XRhrcKg
patiently.446Please respect copyright.PENANAhhCgVYTRPA
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”446Please respect copyright.PENANA529De6F9Hp
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having446Please respect copyright.PENANAW1qdkGMxHX
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”446Please respect copyright.PENANAzBCHQewucn
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking446Please respect copyright.PENANASW2Ve3vRcj
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”446Please respect copyright.PENANAdlIbecE7cz
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving446Please respect copyright.PENANARdO2yLi2fS
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”446Please respect copyright.PENANA9ADXkSqX5L
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time446Please respect copyright.PENANA0O7yj9NLq6
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain446Please respect copyright.PENANA5mVlaV8hqo
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things446Please respect copyright.PENANARFcLOgMKCi
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”446Please respect copyright.PENANAmjZCDBSy48
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the446Please respect copyright.PENANA7afzeB0ebb
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”446Please respect copyright.PENANAnxtWD2l8t4
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of446Please respect copyright.PENANASdryOazekg
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were446Please respect copyright.PENANA0XwZkZJjK2
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for446Please respect copyright.PENANAtQkPvbSfv8
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty446Please respect copyright.PENANAjL87wdTiEx
weather and all.”446Please respect copyright.PENANANTjJdFvmNf
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file446Please respect copyright.PENANAWgIYL9ohJE
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we446Please respect copyright.PENANASLb7XB1x5a
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.446Please respect copyright.PENANACt0u2Ic3Mz
Rhim, you go first.”446Please respect copyright.PENANAsg8ibBwSqH
