“Landfall”

Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the423Please respect copyright.PENANA5aQlY0iruO
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they423Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gx8vdk34X
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few423Please respect copyright.PENANAZtGUkjuKV8
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to423Please respect copyright.PENANAMDsYvd5nSL
travel anywhere undetected.423Please respect copyright.PENANAQfmF1f3lTQ
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so423Please respect copyright.PENANAhTQ2RriV0V
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.423Please respect copyright.PENANAicf3dLmEJt
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting423Please respect copyright.PENANAeU2Kowb69r
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed423Please respect copyright.PENANAJZE4mSweGn
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now423Please respect copyright.PENANAqY1lfNgRmm
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are423Please respect copyright.PENANAUUyuVFEHlz
getting closer.423Please respect copyright.PENANAUsZb1A0RIf
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly423Please respect copyright.PENANAZ52iIPdyEW
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what423Please respect copyright.PENANALopEJhINll
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying423Please respect copyright.PENANAYX306z2EvA
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one423Please respect copyright.PENANAfVwLrjBcw0
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to423Please respect copyright.PENANAcwGgzcEwgv
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that423Please respect copyright.PENANAK9XNQaFrxK
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when423Please respect copyright.PENANAanaxo47SsZ
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses423Please respect copyright.PENANAqWqTsuftez
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a423Please respect copyright.PENANAxt06PSVDBs
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time423Please respect copyright.PENANASHn9Xpf5on
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar423Please respect copyright.PENANAJr3J4TwOoL
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard423Please respect copyright.PENANA4MnsXtOsom
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually423Please respect copyright.PENANA8gIggP5mKE
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys423Please respect copyright.PENANAeFIcsdf0gT
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.423Please respect copyright.PENANAtcXl0NCx6C
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they423Please respect copyright.PENANAY8QnKxxUFg
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the423Please respect copyright.PENANAuXaEVBcL5H
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,423Please respect copyright.PENANABXzjusVLay
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else423Please respect copyright.PENANAkVm2yZ9yfn
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all423Please respect copyright.PENANA7a7jFfeT7O
sorts of preposterous scenarios.423Please respect copyright.PENANAzkHrxnUyCy
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never423Please respect copyright.PENANAcRilDc68oV
failed their king, not once.423Please respect copyright.PENANADHbAmBOaOH
Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.423Please respect copyright.PENANAaSDgXFhoA5
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the423Please respect copyright.PENANAqGnvTn16bQ
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing423Please respect copyright.PENANAuTJkq1BtD9
themselves to accomplish yet another important mission for their majesty and no423Please respect copyright.PENANAnYW2UWG3Yx
amount of rain or thunder is going to shake them. Fast has the Bolt Lander traversed423Please respect copyright.PENANA7KLekRM5nk
the lands, faster than any other aircraft can, but this is the rarest occurrence for very423Please respect copyright.PENANAATS3c5C3sM

more cunning and stealthy capabilities. She can fly in almost complete silence unlike423Please respect copyright.PENANA9lb4GLxLw0
most noisy and smoky propellers plaguing the lands and it is often able to drop the423Please respect copyright.PENANApWcSm5J9Nj
Hand real close to their target without any realisation of those not involved. Covert423Please respect copyright.PENANAiUKufqYZ91
infiltration it’s usually her main focus, for it is an aircraft designed to remain unaware423Please respect copyright.PENANACv1MZwR9q6
while making sure it never arrives in second place.423Please respect copyright.PENANAQR6ffGZNVa
Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is423Please respect copyright.PENANAKzwrmgWD9X
its best quality.
