“I hate this part.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqISey7gyCW
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96QBtijnEa
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj521KTQcWv
“Rhim!”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyip6nX60B3
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ovSqPgHFx
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXhRma38u
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55RxWRheq7
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeWm6G9LKm
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXjviAag9p
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6FMBFowFW
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6YWf13DHL
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCp1DH2IYr
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qikq2xv6X
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5nEt0MCZz
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLxyYsmQG3
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5LpgyC7Zq
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUUmiCNchg
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2uR3IXzzi
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBTNZZg8kM
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUL4kU1a3R
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFlnTVgjky
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHiXtktZ4
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3JJBnjjwv
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAbBhrT0MG
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkgoexDAPy
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCith4fym6
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRSJz0iuUn
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy8Bxyl20z
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyjcV7W652
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQzhPUqqjH
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrh5RdKXZW
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwFazW4ZwM
“In three... two... one... Mark!”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQDvzOfOWC
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1wjKuNbZo
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NgXUX8DJ9
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBonI4faPoC
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYNccjruMa
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwIgEMxeK
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qNjiyd40T
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mCtNqsrLY
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pELGs4iq
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx3Mg79vhA
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyig4DZLBuT
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQiEBlI68N
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5iGpGr2fM
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNvuowdrfD
more and then impact was finally made...286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNVgiPAZsa
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpyuFqQa6f
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPygXycNhLT
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnxbn1luU1
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Um4Brh5U
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQs6Nj48po
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEIhDsDEDC
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi517rWOI35
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTZuDYfaSv
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGiwmxJBQ6
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.

“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqksrDXIQ9v
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH8CWMPAd0
