It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way441Please respect copyright.PENANAzXqz2k53wo
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a441Please respect copyright.PENANAgNmJIerZjj
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft441Please respect copyright.PENANATjfnIN46mX
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not441Please respect copyright.PENANAaVJuC98YBb
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way441Please respect copyright.PENANAP4qjFDOq15
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and441Please respect copyright.PENANAxUSHllfIgn
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be441Please respect copyright.PENANAfvyokN3Mpd
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern441Please respect copyright.PENANAnuJui6VaDU
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many441Please respect copyright.PENANAutON4cqzPy
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many441Please respect copyright.PENANAZmlXkhjz4Q
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to441Please respect copyright.PENANADa1vYU3Biq
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,441Please respect copyright.PENANAllpiIpOPL8
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim441Please respect copyright.PENANAc7iI1wpuOC
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible441Please respect copyright.PENANA7TLbyyVzEJ
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have441Please respect copyright.PENANA7rdNIIvZ9Q
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim441Please respect copyright.PENANAfKzjYOK95z
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few441Please respect copyright.PENANAfOTY7A12Pt
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...441Please respect copyright.PENANAFyfUuA49tn
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after441Please respect copyright.PENANA1czhk7CYFd
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.441Please respect copyright.PENANAlDzKG6fbdE
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the441Please respect copyright.PENANA7PAzkKAld8
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.441Please respect copyright.PENANAoLRdXKmOmd
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept441Please respect copyright.PENANAFeLWwg3c0N
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...441Please respect copyright.PENANAmxYw1Umc82
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword441Please respect copyright.PENANAQoBFJ5ZpzG
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAiTge8yNLYo
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous441Please respect copyright.PENANArVR69tVpEh
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on441Please respect copyright.PENANABNkXri7E0g
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.441Please respect copyright.PENANA62J14PmRxC
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice441Please respect copyright.PENANAgxqI12nhH8
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept441Please respect copyright.PENANAj6t0aK9oBI
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...441Please respect copyright.PENANAZRJ3QJg7kk
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,441Please respect copyright.PENANAPhaonpNUZk
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting441Please respect copyright.PENANAID3vTq55ys
patiently.441Please respect copyright.PENANAqDvgGU9g3o
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAJeX6hkEphI
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having441Please respect copyright.PENANAecpt6hxgn1
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”441Please respect copyright.PENANAj4HwfpiRtE
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking441Please respect copyright.PENANA4MfizOgNkV
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”441Please respect copyright.PENANAU1jNz6LRtK
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving441Please respect copyright.PENANA0TONU8Ehwb
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”441Please respect copyright.PENANAN1KTWhibEK
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time441Please respect copyright.PENANAHROYE1TBJ2
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain441Please respect copyright.PENANA3tN0IoAM0l
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things441Please respect copyright.PENANAZxiiMEBZ0g
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”441Please respect copyright.PENANAtaL2m8vad9
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the441Please respect copyright.PENANAtYbvTKMGLz
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”441Please respect copyright.PENANABkSLS8ojsa
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of441Please respect copyright.PENANAsLTuf21X27
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were441Please respect copyright.PENANAhsEf6Btxdg
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for441Please respect copyright.PENANA0rwMQoFn2N
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty441Please respect copyright.PENANAICTFy94EJG
weather and all.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAOfGpp0FxRk
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file441Please respect copyright.PENANArYVvr32yPD
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we441Please respect copyright.PENANAbf4ZPuWPwf
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.441Please respect copyright.PENANAY7iBD4Db5W
Rhim, you go first.”441Please respect copyright.PENANAyQjvCUVD1k
