“I hate this part.”104Please respect copyright.PENANAAniE0Z3mkT
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.104Please respect copyright.PENANA5E1PXmz3gZ
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”104Please respect copyright.PENANAPfpK7PumWk
“Rhim!”104Please respect copyright.PENANADSRWB7cPlP
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.104Please respect copyright.PENANAmuUgaIQuCj
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a104Please respect copyright.PENANAEMNyBokXjj
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”104Please respect copyright.PENANAUb2m8S94C1
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much104Please respect copyright.PENANAS8EOUiFsPa
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick104Please respect copyright.PENANApel5uPd0N8
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...104Please respect copyright.PENANAT4tvPEPXFO
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry104Please respect copyright.PENANAKSxq3hhVRh
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit104Please respect copyright.PENANAoVYUVECS8j
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of104Please respect copyright.PENANAwVWHgsLQJU
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five104Please respect copyright.PENANAbppikDNFJK
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now104Please respect copyright.PENANArijyxj4s5N
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even104Please respect copyright.PENANAyCLLGRkjGY
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any104Please respect copyright.PENANAyVg9A0GPPQ
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the104Please respect copyright.PENANAWpotmjcXCx
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.104Please respect copyright.PENANAYOZ8lnBNIi
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”104Please respect copyright.PENANAAMWamAJpZB
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their104Please respect copyright.PENANABVdmEStwUF
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared104Please respect copyright.PENANAgN9CSyswEz
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that104Please respect copyright.PENANANDIxMxr31D
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned104Please respect copyright.PENANAHcqfoLZZXI
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to104Please respect copyright.PENANA974PiWAfX5
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling104Please respect copyright.PENANAtF9a7pgaCl
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself104Please respect copyright.PENANAkO1xUNRet0
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of104Please respect copyright.PENANAehMzq9Tzdn
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the104Please respect copyright.PENANAHKrI2ye9NW
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go104Please respect copyright.PENANAVXoMK5kidV
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.104Please respect copyright.PENANAfhm9Ubw9gf
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,104Please respect copyright.PENANAJVAsNpACAb
“In three... two... one... Mark!”104Please respect copyright.PENANARcFuXoiDtM
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one104Please respect copyright.PENANAL3aL1drONk
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance104Please respect copyright.PENANAq3mLkWH98f
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.104Please respect copyright.PENANASLlxGSzNjn
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority104Please respect copyright.PENANAWvyD1Y75TP
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around104Please respect copyright.PENANAHjQI3WDiz5
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and104Please respect copyright.PENANAM3LUpIgB28
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.104Please respect copyright.PENANAoAyLwjB1sK
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their104Please respect copyright.PENANABcQNnXdPrI
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach104Please respect copyright.PENANA5rPKLDezRF
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows104Please respect copyright.PENANAc4QoJf0c6j
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became104Please respect copyright.PENANAGqyebT6lYm
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe104Please respect copyright.PENANAPCRvZdMOFH
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly104Please respect copyright.PENANAjaKCFT5rCH
more and then impact was finally made...104Please respect copyright.PENANA9RnZwp7jP9
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than104Please respect copyright.PENANAo6g5DxOakn
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of104Please respect copyright.PENANAamHvuq70FE
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found104Please respect copyright.PENANASya0w6JXm7
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.104Please respect copyright.PENANAFNZYYcUrY7
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has104Please respect copyright.PENANAcz94884aJh
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to104Please respect copyright.PENANAkn1mH7N2Oh
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any104Please respect copyright.PENANALIi6A0B9by
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this104Please respect copyright.PENANAGPoBsDsdxN
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of104Please respect copyright.PENANAxv9zbdrkLg
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
