“I hate this part.”288Please respect copyright.PENANAfmdD09r3wy
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.288Please respect copyright.PENANAPikpwdxKKD
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”288Please respect copyright.PENANAcDALiepL6I
“Rhim!”288Please respect copyright.PENANA7k40hZ48dk
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.288Please respect copyright.PENANApjNj0w4ok4
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a288Please respect copyright.PENANAY2Zt2Ux4IR
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”288Please respect copyright.PENANAF0e6lBLe04
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much288Please respect copyright.PENANAWXiF9utMhK
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick288Please respect copyright.PENANARX1sZvlI0N
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...288Please respect copyright.PENANAwbKEwxvfJE
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry288Please respect copyright.PENANAVKVq3hlF1z
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit288Please respect copyright.PENANAZd6Lj2alip
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of288Please respect copyright.PENANAS06piOefrY
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five288Please respect copyright.PENANA64V9QeOCIY
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now288Please respect copyright.PENANAlcaeupQEPY
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even288Please respect copyright.PENANATuYa3ROt6l
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any288Please respect copyright.PENANAkD0WV8LS8V
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the288Please respect copyright.PENANAVWfDR27SU8
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.288Please respect copyright.PENANAjkx7HJiYJt
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”288Please respect copyright.PENANACx2kMbQAc9
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their288Please respect copyright.PENANAjUMhDJvtL0
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared288Please respect copyright.PENANAOqQClz0C42
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that288Please respect copyright.PENANArmNJZ70qyf
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned288Please respect copyright.PENANA7aLoDQSEgU
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to288Please respect copyright.PENANAU5OPYSuHgd
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling288Please respect copyright.PENANAg28f48Iw9X
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself288Please respect copyright.PENANAdTVHcPpaC6
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of288Please respect copyright.PENANAgw6PA1rwia
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the288Please respect copyright.PENANAQMeWnJ2jVS
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go288Please respect copyright.PENANAF9hiHm3rIm
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.288Please respect copyright.PENANA7mX1VxgNAu
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,288Please respect copyright.PENANAAl6NqpMt6V
“In three... two... one... Mark!”288Please respect copyright.PENANAbZlHMPRyP2
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one288Please respect copyright.PENANAItoO9x9STy
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance288Please respect copyright.PENANApGPAnxPvou
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.288Please respect copyright.PENANAVMuReNBolU
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority288Please respect copyright.PENANAPP3WrUKtTc
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around288Please respect copyright.PENANAA6rf2uA49f
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and288Please respect copyright.PENANAzW2NIbfUHR
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.288Please respect copyright.PENANAhpJSDIlUJl
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their288Please respect copyright.PENANAvE9RfRoagq
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach288Please respect copyright.PENANA2a6t3afmpY
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows288Please respect copyright.PENANAnBApXJxKmB
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became288Please respect copyright.PENANAHbc7abAcL2
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe288Please respect copyright.PENANA91tAQDmrf2
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly288Please respect copyright.PENANANQHyn6GkVC
more and then impact was finally made...288Please respect copyright.PENANAa2610BmUWV
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than288Please respect copyright.PENANAurEoVx1Qte
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of288Please respect copyright.PENANAx2H6Jj6ikL
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found288Please respect copyright.PENANAN9DYVqKRuu
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.288Please respect copyright.PENANAUUQBWJw5Ae
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has288Please respect copyright.PENANAvTT5WrFsU3
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to288Please respect copyright.PENANAHwYYSGoT9k
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any288Please respect copyright.PENANA5Pzq0g7fnM
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this288Please respect copyright.PENANAVYmpGYnFZK
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of288Please respect copyright.PENANAIkyAMGPbMT
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
