“I hate this part.”103Please respect copyright.PENANAC1JClD0DPP
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.103Please respect copyright.PENANA0tRO0vJ0FS
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”103Please respect copyright.PENANABLKo0pLl5F
“Rhim!”103Please respect copyright.PENANArB2hnKRWSF
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.103Please respect copyright.PENANAuD4nA34F9H
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a103Please respect copyright.PENANAn1ZXc3ms2Y
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”103Please respect copyright.PENANARhryrKqJTM
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much103Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7aFgUCywC
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick103Please respect copyright.PENANAMTpvmwq4x5
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...103Please respect copyright.PENANACUuPD8vEOU
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry103Please respect copyright.PENANAuAB8MzaxFL
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit103Please respect copyright.PENANACU6JbBE5ax
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of103Please respect copyright.PENANAYo4KcN9KPm
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five103Please respect copyright.PENANAsKOMQZ3odc
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now103Please respect copyright.PENANA1VNmlBo1ur
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even103Please respect copyright.PENANAyIX4I3NJQY
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any103Please respect copyright.PENANA8SJCBQu2Ru
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the103Please respect copyright.PENANAmWvFskC3QT
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.103Please respect copyright.PENANARKmPrKs3a5
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”103Please respect copyright.PENANASBB7tl1t6H
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their103Please respect copyright.PENANAa38BumXq5m
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared103Please respect copyright.PENANAUai973Srxb
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that103Please respect copyright.PENANAwyX6NmSU3p
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned103Please respect copyright.PENANAfkJylWwql8
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to103Please respect copyright.PENANALZvHciyvSL
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling103Please respect copyright.PENANAdUH4JiQlpy
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself103Please respect copyright.PENANAIRSAIxOfXL
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of103Please respect copyright.PENANAC2xhlJAJ4s
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the103Please respect copyright.PENANAxx7nGDr4uD
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go103Please respect copyright.PENANAdyucrvtj7c
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.103Please respect copyright.PENANA5XWS8ViVuD
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,103Please respect copyright.PENANACgvlxY0t7n
“In three... two... one... Mark!”103Please respect copyright.PENANAftXmjihClZ
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one103Please respect copyright.PENANA8CtcOmQMDB
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance103Please respect copyright.PENANABVOIoHNWI8
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.103Please respect copyright.PENANAyg6idLct9i
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority103Please respect copyright.PENANA2IQSN688ex
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around103Please respect copyright.PENANARVRKIOFuM3
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and103Please respect copyright.PENANAPcBASoclic
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.103Please respect copyright.PENANA38CnaEbA8j
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their103Please respect copyright.PENANAXa800elJnW
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach103Please respect copyright.PENANAnECoPYMX1p
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows103Please respect copyright.PENANAZHyGui4T0G
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became103Please respect copyright.PENANAOOddYbSeg1
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe103Please respect copyright.PENANAZnEHDPk94E
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly103Please respect copyright.PENANAw85mVYNBvJ
more and then impact was finally made...103Please respect copyright.PENANAfAfr4NppnR
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than103Please respect copyright.PENANAVHkp2m04qy
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of103Please respect copyright.PENANARQ5CxJI8OL
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found103Please respect copyright.PENANA8ctY9TRiVR
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.103Please respect copyright.PENANAE2F967mtd3
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has103Please respect copyright.PENANACnIvTVbPEy
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to103Please respect copyright.PENANAgVyRZcTXHs
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any103Please respect copyright.PENANARPt8UjbxaS
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this103Please respect copyright.PENANAyvQPbcq2St
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of103Please respect copyright.PENANAbVavZpSkD5
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
