It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV959og33pR
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhHaNnnFm3
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICYdRQLL5z
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchEI2EHQDt
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6JCaRPiOc
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDeZraWNq
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9WSQ7LVsn
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SBe39MZWB
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwvdmwlHe0
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdK9wgYTFk
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYsjHkpRCG
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJRXJYe6uo
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfBWG40ZRa
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kWbyNpkW1
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj67PZvpzuu
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBlCeYl2a3
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pp6wRLhGX
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUul8MjIII
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbV70XFTBr
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKO3MjNPnT
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqH0XQ1xfe
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCGTewJqNL
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiPaAuZXzd
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ehtRpTIR
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaL6KNRw9w
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Lrg6kjhR
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Qg2kA37m
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VVMeC1iwt
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MIw7nn09c
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmUE7b9pPU
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJfX2sxD0s
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWqjCL2CKX
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanTOmZiABQ
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbwvzfTNrg
patiently.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTUiYXoCOC
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwAk2aFY8a
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGOoDXQco2
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVuQfNp0gT
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVAtLiPJ9
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwej9nWZb36
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIyCT7OxnQ
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Udwij2ZI
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGNysJN9aJ
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY6YNKIyAG
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSXASAQagY
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP94kNUMPx
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbtLE14jlO
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkWfdAaNnk
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20riUMdQWB
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAreLy5SC
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiSZ0IQkc0
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDQMyzLwgM
weather and all.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXRSMqQtsc
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstkm9LJSNn
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv1Xlvr5v0
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL1g1xwelc
Rhim, you go first.”316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOduy7dT4u
