“I hate this part.”266Please respect copyright.PENANAFF8cGKixbM
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.266Please respect copyright.PENANABGlBMg7PK5
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”266Please respect copyright.PENANAZoG2e6PLeK
“Rhim!”266Please respect copyright.PENANAgvk3cD9JMi
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.266Please respect copyright.PENANAyI7R5eOKsF
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a266Please respect copyright.PENANAXrZo5m8ieU
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”266Please respect copyright.PENANAdPhEfW1eBT
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much266Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvwkTEUjE
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick266Please respect copyright.PENANAfXQlnYV3Pd
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...266Please respect copyright.PENANAelWZBuaO7p
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry266Please respect copyright.PENANAzX6Ag7ArTj
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit266Please respect copyright.PENANA0cbWZOAXEy
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of266Please respect copyright.PENANAEjv38McxZw
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five266Please respect copyright.PENANAHA06ASdaym
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now266Please respect copyright.PENANAqdAZdqH1bn
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even266Please respect copyright.PENANA4iJJcMbWhG
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any266Please respect copyright.PENANAMwYRRA2jdA
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the266Please respect copyright.PENANAZS3MbPVkJr
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.266Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Unllj59W
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”266Please respect copyright.PENANA6QBCLQR1Qs
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their266Please respect copyright.PENANAB0EeqNQarA
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared266Please respect copyright.PENANA6y0rD7eawo
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that266Please respect copyright.PENANAhqS6BGAwGB
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned266Please respect copyright.PENANAcyw5yerb5J
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to266Please respect copyright.PENANAYXXB2nWsVq
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling266Please respect copyright.PENANAHanW6MkanL
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself266Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5KrzZJz15
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of266Please respect copyright.PENANAUx7hY6DcKw
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the266Please respect copyright.PENANACQuJpsJVg6
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go266Please respect copyright.PENANAUzA8cHG0HS
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.266Please respect copyright.PENANAxrQYbiJMa7
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,266Please respect copyright.PENANAlh6z6yWCjM
“In three... two... one... Mark!”266Please respect copyright.PENANAcRQXDn7tsi
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one266Please respect copyright.PENANAjYauxfzaJq
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance266Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ21bmUW3z
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.266Please respect copyright.PENANAOGL6DtSpI1
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority266Please respect copyright.PENANAQJF2DcUU7g
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around266Please respect copyright.PENANAfxeu78SxWH
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and266Please respect copyright.PENANAN0TemYannh
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.266Please respect copyright.PENANAZyLzEZzjfz
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their266Please respect copyright.PENANAqUHL3sIqVL
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach266Please respect copyright.PENANAgvzwYISWlR
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows266Please respect copyright.PENANA6YKatmFf1s
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became266Please respect copyright.PENANAucKJxvWAxK
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe266Please respect copyright.PENANA8JYmsXXTkh
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly266Please respect copyright.PENANAY7AL27w2Fx
more and then impact was finally made...266Please respect copyright.PENANAA1MKXhKhfV
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than266Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ68qkcfFI
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of266Please respect copyright.PENANAIjkc2h5HW4
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found266Please respect copyright.PENANA37zt5QCOC2
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.266Please respect copyright.PENANAs4d0Y0ripe
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has266Please respect copyright.PENANA0xbZ3yRnLe
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to266Please respect copyright.PENANACXYPapTESx
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any266Please respect copyright.PENANAgM9tctnanS
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this266Please respect copyright.PENANAo6GcVip0sc
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of266Please respect copyright.PENANAEuetpjMIBJ
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
