“I hate this part.”106Please respect copyright.PENANA2eGNYGW9CP
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.106Please respect copyright.PENANAS7ceQGyUYZ
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”106Please respect copyright.PENANAPFlcQvfOiR
“Rhim!”106Please respect copyright.PENANArgOETOdQDE
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.106Please respect copyright.PENANAXTHeZ2CyeO
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a106Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQeGki3PY
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”106Please respect copyright.PENANAKx2GDENklL
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much106Please respect copyright.PENANAir3Dg6hqDd
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick106Please respect copyright.PENANAHHRikSeUB9
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...106Please respect copyright.PENANAr1kTGE2c0r
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry106Please respect copyright.PENANA5NEC3IghAP
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit106Please respect copyright.PENANAWIauCu7lIQ
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of106Please respect copyright.PENANAEE9BexB9wO
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five106Please respect copyright.PENANAU3d7vp20X7
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now106Please respect copyright.PENANApm19K4rClj
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even106Please respect copyright.PENANAg1jDpFe2AG
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any106Please respect copyright.PENANAVuFaZXbkeA
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the106Please respect copyright.PENANAOMhr1NlgXS
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.106Please respect copyright.PENANAISa7vzq2N4
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”106Please respect copyright.PENANAYwgQshtZgf
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their106Please respect copyright.PENANAbLc88LMeAp
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared106Please respect copyright.PENANAyeVYxrjRiv
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that106Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ8fcsgztJ
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned106Please respect copyright.PENANAbBUE9v0yuF
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to106Please respect copyright.PENANAbh6J4QIkTY
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling106Please respect copyright.PENANACGotvVTHOs
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself106Please respect copyright.PENANA52q9ZsMEnS
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of106Please respect copyright.PENANAcRnLSv7KwW
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the106Please respect copyright.PENANAp61LGfVk6h
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go106Please respect copyright.PENANAUFmfthXJ5m
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.106Please respect copyright.PENANAsWFQXwT5iK
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,106Please respect copyright.PENANA6ftqZ3ydsV
“In three... two... one... Mark!”106Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPNivPXpS
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one106Please respect copyright.PENANASRQnvHZFxH
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance106Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dqn3a4113
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.106Please respect copyright.PENANAfpvdhcC6BG
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority106Please respect copyright.PENANAZoHly8BbIr
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around106Please respect copyright.PENANAtN38TIXMgY
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and106Please respect copyright.PENANA0gsQrGHiU0
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.106Please respect copyright.PENANAYh1z3TDVFD
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their106Please respect copyright.PENANAb2P6PUIEAU
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach106Please respect copyright.PENANAGjJB7YJ6Fg
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows106Please respect copyright.PENANAOhLIAP3Z7u
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became106Please respect copyright.PENANAWQzjc6qOhO
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe106Please respect copyright.PENANAJwg7A7TtTA
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly106Please respect copyright.PENANACs5xST94Uv
more and then impact was finally made...106Please respect copyright.PENANA9a0ncP1FpY
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than106Please respect copyright.PENANADhl301Cr3x
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of106Please respect copyright.PENANAZrSzlHdLpl
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found106Please respect copyright.PENANAUesgnP6TtB
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.106Please respect copyright.PENANALWRC2FJEc7
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has106Please respect copyright.PENANARGXr3j8La6
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to106Please respect copyright.PENANA3AfLQFcBvy
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any106Please respect copyright.PENANAOt2tWELyVB
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this106Please respect copyright.PENANAX69lXzklWK
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of106Please respect copyright.PENANA6enzo067Jg
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
