It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvdXbZPFYQ
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5fPldohqB
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsV61UjbDz
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYKLewPVHy
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW635E1h9a
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPFZlHMbt
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0bYdfnCCq
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkw5UzjSwi
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z77GNijfU
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRn9JfHm1r
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5666vZZBk
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8jDeLStMJ
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHO8D54wK4
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5y1kVG7xB
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0u4Vi2EZ
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuAA0paGDY
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHX9qbDosB
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSHaAJWPyY
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8kuHaPJ6c
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc0mnwju2Q
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUTiuzmqJu
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcBjFspomv
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAHUHs8xA6
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqIZyjNQp
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8xc7x2LJP
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k9BPlLBkd
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BFmhj2FC
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOWYQQ2hAs
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ykZhnsAC
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN9OqoKcuI
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiHwGH1rwD
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6gqmR5Mfe
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseh4UM9SuQ
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0jzZAxuL2
patiently.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuRiV76LDR
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggjkQhWaFm
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqWWfwWfYq
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q2rz44D7y
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQmwhwXsJv
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVk3Whxwcl
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsGRSu253f
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6SuJ1mnHW
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MtrwGTJ2
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6FyT0y6y
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTGvywQGXZ
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDT7r5D59
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoNG66fg9n
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYcTbqUc6t
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeYF9MSAW9
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4H7xNW0NE
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNO5ZBZVK
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ600dZSeraw
weather and all.”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj1XPJfXTk
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQOSwuHKY
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTm3ip1KoA
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w7aRBqujq
Rhim, you go first.”297Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEsCsYQ9bX
