“I hate this part.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAx0OaGkWjFK
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.363Please respect copyright.PENANAqo5ZUDq3gJ
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAndmboL9voX
“Rhim!”363Please respect copyright.PENANA82orbpFcJj
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.363Please respect copyright.PENANAgF6OD3FSnx
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a363Please respect copyright.PENANAzX6lKIpRAA
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAnaIBlojcf4
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much363Please respect copyright.PENANAELUbdYFQxe
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick363Please respect copyright.PENANA8akyXViENG
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...363Please respect copyright.PENANAfTkDJVB9uN
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry363Please respect copyright.PENANAezb7tq4nWb
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit363Please respect copyright.PENANAsN6ekUMzao
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of363Please respect copyright.PENANANbdfiACSok
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five363Please respect copyright.PENANAG1VXXUGW3X
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now363Please respect copyright.PENANAH646AthslE
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even363Please respect copyright.PENANAaJqAA23alQ
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any363Please respect copyright.PENANAFA6aS27dV3
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the363Please respect copyright.PENANAQxCkJI8KtP
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.363Please respect copyright.PENANAmkHHU3JVMq
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”363Please respect copyright.PENANAAy8HoSB6R5
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their363Please respect copyright.PENANArqkY1fVTRT
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared363Please respect copyright.PENANAJkXUmTcRw7
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that363Please respect copyright.PENANATiztDXmWO1
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned363Please respect copyright.PENANACFwj8f8uBy
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to363Please respect copyright.PENANA5MGchlcE6z
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling363Please respect copyright.PENANAMDfyu7s8JT
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself363Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ47mD2ezH
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of363Please respect copyright.PENANA0BX4Csoi9c
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the363Please respect copyright.PENANAzq0OSAqbp5
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go363Please respect copyright.PENANAr4qSKq6hah
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.363Please respect copyright.PENANAwlIoZXvr7v
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,363Please respect copyright.PENANAzoOOHbuyob
“In three... two... one... Mark!”363Please respect copyright.PENANA6ml7AbQ0Wj
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one363Please respect copyright.PENANACtxNC0hKSV
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance363Please respect copyright.PENANA7VLviZxRzR
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.363Please respect copyright.PENANALGLi22f1kb
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority363Please respect copyright.PENANASzay0DcM4c
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around363Please respect copyright.PENANAvQQUySuksN
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and363Please respect copyright.PENANAgoJafCe203
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.363Please respect copyright.PENANAgZwTLU9Auy
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their363Please respect copyright.PENANAS9M2yNn5Z1
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach363Please respect copyright.PENANAi5iKS6av4z
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows363Please respect copyright.PENANAE2SLB62cfL
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became363Please respect copyright.PENANAGumkMgNLDh
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe363Please respect copyright.PENANAoPpBhMjOBX
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly363Please respect copyright.PENANAdBPpZbdkQA
more and then impact was finally made...363Please respect copyright.PENANAcWB8CEFsrW
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than363Please respect copyright.PENANAy4IrQnywYH
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of363Please respect copyright.PENANAVE4XdTGqku
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found363Please respect copyright.PENANAEsKo9J1z7d
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.363Please respect copyright.PENANAu6BV1eibZA
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has363Please respect copyright.PENANARk8nuVAnq8
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to363Please respect copyright.PENANA4zEsdq5iEp
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any363Please respect copyright.PENANAwOgUaE0RSB
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this363Please respect copyright.PENANADVPklG7gXu
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of363Please respect copyright.PENANA6wPC7PPcUx
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,363Please respect copyright.PENANABiNdlswwCZ
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”363Please respect copyright.PENANAY3dufHXNMq
