“I hate this part.”318Please respect copyright.PENANAFsbdMhwab5
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.318Please respect copyright.PENANAAKmlOSbb8h
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”318Please respect copyright.PENANAuxHONx4jkh
“Rhim!”318Please respect copyright.PENANALv13FGrr7p
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.318Please respect copyright.PENANAaR1AcsA0TR
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a318Please respect copyright.PENANAqqUBftILV6
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”318Please respect copyright.PENANAVivvdZY5Yu
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much318Please respect copyright.PENANAmPKIck7sQM
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick318Please respect copyright.PENANAnRfxug9zyp
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...318Please respect copyright.PENANA1gQBa32sOb
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry318Please respect copyright.PENANA3UhvOYgcaI
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit318Please respect copyright.PENANA08S8Ni6nY6
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of318Please respect copyright.PENANAlgChADKzGu
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five318Please respect copyright.PENANARwjp4GwbKx
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now318Please respect copyright.PENANADKcpc9EleG
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even318Please respect copyright.PENANAbzndjFwJPV
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any318Please respect copyright.PENANAKK4aRFwXV6
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the318Please respect copyright.PENANAX0x9oP6Qcq
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.318Please respect copyright.PENANA1s2q2TVAbt
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”318Please respect copyright.PENANA0QS2y7Xi9F
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their318Please respect copyright.PENANAdeI0hu3PIn
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared318Please respect copyright.PENANAJ445UsCrNE
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that318Please respect copyright.PENANAF85KrTTW5a
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned318Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vph91Tsmy
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to318Please respect copyright.PENANAwHVzOoLnTg
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling318Please respect copyright.PENANAO1xIFzvfNm
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself318Please respect copyright.PENANARpeREDAbYA
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of318Please respect copyright.PENANAmrBg995OqL
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the318Please respect copyright.PENANAR6PyLyMhtv
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go318Please respect copyright.PENANA8X5ja82F5A
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.318Please respect copyright.PENANAvaP9ezmPh6
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,318Please respect copyright.PENANAMJXVaUwrpv
“In three... two... one... Mark!”318Please respect copyright.PENANAYD3RedQdwi
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one318Please respect copyright.PENANAszUq0HY91h
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance318Please respect copyright.PENANAFrVEZFss2i
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.318Please respect copyright.PENANAxGZc5uYws7
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority318Please respect copyright.PENANAi1pkHKu9x6
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around318Please respect copyright.PENANAMrmQ0IhHSy
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and318Please respect copyright.PENANAqSIV6W0uaF
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.318Please respect copyright.PENANAO0PKKQ2YcK
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their318Please respect copyright.PENANAglvTe4YE8e
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach318Please respect copyright.PENANA7v7OIwPxnS
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows318Please respect copyright.PENANAVHICl2l1Px
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became318Please respect copyright.PENANAFGy83uGbb6
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe318Please respect copyright.PENANAsh9RSaOsDG
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly318Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ8CApb3Gc
more and then impact was finally made...318Please respect copyright.PENANATfh3VvBSuK
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than318Please respect copyright.PENANAzlcjEt29me
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of318Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ss1o0PrVg
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found318Please respect copyright.PENANASlo2ETGf4h
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.318Please respect copyright.PENANAX0zhP7UmRA
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has318Please respect copyright.PENANA591jhFahs3
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to318Please respect copyright.PENANAdPmZF0OmM8
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any318Please respect copyright.PENANAxVlwGco3vg
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this318Please respect copyright.PENANALbJeLwFsp1
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of318Please respect copyright.PENANAmw43xYmQBD
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”318Please respect copyright.PENANAAVIp0T0Tpn
