“I hate this part.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOclDpnfoCn
“Aw come on Deena;” said the one assigned to go first, “it is as I always say.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZga6TsylW
Sometimes there is nothing you can do. You just have to accept it as it is.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgbW1fv0ju
“Rhim!”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWPwHFxHXQ
“Hope all of you brought your raincoats...” he added before taking that first jump.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35TItl0nXO
“Captain, I will be waiting at the extraction point by sunrise...” a small pause and a321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtifJakJg6y
bit of silence from that box, not even the slightest static. “See yous’ all there.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg7adXbNV3
“See you there...” the captain jumped off last, he dived straight into that storm much321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyxnwgpZrp
like the four before him and one by one Sheiska saw them disappear into those thick321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO23Y5Xwbm
clouds, all of them impressively connected by rumbling thunder...321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQcc7Z5vFm
Sepia like clouds as massive as anyone can ever hope to find that always carry321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EazJreXx
with them this constant anger, this hatred towards something that they always admit321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoGWxhUdmU
with unceasing displays of energy. Constant and even more impressive discharges of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADKeSQHGyv
lightning and rain that knows no drought! Standing against all this, are now five321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTzqD5bhoc
minuscule and darkened figures freefalling with only the closest lightning flash now321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ezTOdCu2
and then being capable of revealing more of them. Despite it all, they seem calm, even321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZLUz6sJbg
gracious at times, as they keep on descending, their bodies swinging and dodging any321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9CYSdNG0E
danger heading their way. Their masks protect them from any outside sound and the321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kOglqx69G
technology within them, albeit struggling, is enough to get the word around.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETRpcZC9wm
“Alright... wait for my mark...” the captain speaks to all of them “Any minute now...”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEheEZrYslK
All five of them are now dropping like they did so many times before and their321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wjBfUJq32
leader looks back to get a quick glimpse at the Bolt Lander one last time. He stared321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06N4Eeeuyb
at it for a moment, only the fibered veil of his mask standing between his eye and that321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWIGzOCaoW
ticket home. It too would quickly disappear into the clouds above and he then turned321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASHUxmyDJN
his attention to the others below him, to their bodies swinging either to the left or to321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxgAnzXld
the right as they dodged the white flashes of lightning, and all this while freefalling321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiNp1VAoj
between all the rain and the storm that births it. Something that would repeat itself321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamdDk7qiDY
for quite a while, and these manoeuvres that are not without grace are also owners of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSDgy1XvtD
a silence of their very own. Then the first sightings of land were bestowed upon all the321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNyCmKZlYr
eyes behind those masks. All that thunder and fury might have begun to let them go321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsSYi2MuU1
but the rain will still escort them for a long time.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBwIRdWxEZ
“Ready to deploy on my mark...” the captain’s voice cuddles their ears once more,321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IkbmYaVL
“In three... two... one... Mark!”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KFcg0YdAk
Their diving formation then assumed a more aggressive stance for a moment, one321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGn1YiKtvS
that always precedes the relief that is about to come and is meant to gain more distance321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagMLy4mpo
between all of them. One at a time their suits began to reveal linear glows throughout.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwaieWCzz
Some kind of purple and red patterns of an almost neon nature covered the majority321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffN1S0NGbP
of their armoured bodies and then, after producing some sort of electrical field around321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZO0Kv4NX3
each one of them that is actually the reason for their spreading, some slick and321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KuF3eTg0J
silk-like red elongated cloths sprouted from each one of their backs and arms.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfLginXdJs
Six stripes, three on each side and all coloured in dark reds jump from where their321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYcRlWGr6v
shoulder blades should be behind all that armour and their elbows only to attach321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4fGykku7u
themselves quickly to their calves. Each one of the falling bodies immediately slows321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhRIRKwxwO
once these sorts of one colour rainbows are fully deployed. Their descent became321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj0IzHyD3f
gentler and even, if only for a short while, allowed some personal time to breathe321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDM7bKwd06
before getting right back into it. Such peace lasted about a minute, possibly slightly321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTcQkFXKfC
more and then impact was finally made...321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpVmuWvu9a
One at a time their feet arrived and finally contacted Brosse’s soil more gently than321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfMjO586n
one would ever expect. Landfall was made quietly as it usually is, but the weather of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCO26mlMf0
this region has brought them no closer than what they were expecting. They found321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRETwqJ4e0
themselves separated but not by much; one landed here and the next just over there.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3ICRMLha
It was dark and muddy all around them and the storm above the entire region has321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA5DbbvG0Z
them soaked already, but none of this is of any concern to them. Each of them had to321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSrlWzd8BZ
walk a very hard long road to get to the position they now occupy, and it didn’t get any321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqvjLzREg
easier after doing so. That was when their real training began and continues to this321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMftMDmJgrS
very day. Neither storm nor mist, not even the unruly howls in the darker corners of321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cKjCWT3Ln
this haunted town will make a dent in their determination.
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1S3sbvE7R
“And as our hearts sing and dance at the immoral rhythm of life,321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcRWUEOiG
we play its tune with each of our wrongful deeds.”321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZIU6j28IG
