It has been cutting through all the rain and any cloud that dares to stand in its way448Please respect copyright.PENANAg5S3FtWjpW
ever since it departed from the Human palace, the seat of all Human power, with a448Please respect copyright.PENANAuC4xBVQTj2
stunning roar provided by the three powerful engines on its rear that propel the aircraft448Please respect copyright.PENANA34APzWLrAS
with unprecedented Human technology. For this mission, top speed is its concern, not448Please respect copyright.PENANARipH2d9gL4
concealment, and so it was likely many saw it sharply cut through the skies on its way448Please respect copyright.PENANAKqAfqPz8Ma
here. It is indeed quite the feat, a technological prowess on a league of its own and448Please respect copyright.PENANAq0wM7eH7uI
most likely capable of stunning even the Nharkim. The Beriheim Mountain is to be448Please respect copyright.PENANAjZPbBX7H50
its destination and to get there the Bolt Lander quickly flew over the Great Northern448Please respect copyright.PENANA65ZyDIEvCD
Gate, over the marshes of Pantaan and the spiked stones of Cabero Valley where many448Please respect copyright.PENANA1HH4n8F3YN
great battles have been decided. Something easily deduced by all the bones of many448Please respect copyright.PENANACwh8UQaUQh
giants and other long-gone things. A dry place as it must remain eternally bound to448Please respect copyright.PENANAaMPW8p4Lk5
the sun and its wrath, forever a slave to its scolding will. After those yellowed sights,448Please respect copyright.PENANAZRyfhaZSSL
green starts to sprout again and shortly after, if one is flying that is, the Beriheim448Please respect copyright.PENANAJrg63SXiCM
region becomes finally within reach. The advent of flying was mostly made possible448Please respect copyright.PENANAwZP1Wv4ASR
to avoid setting foot in such desolated places like Cabero Valley, although there have448Please respect copyright.PENANArjhbJ2FtJA
always been those stubborn caravans marching through it. Especially when Beriheim448Please respect copyright.PENANA9rJw0Qwwv1
was not a region best avoided but was sought out instead. It was once fertile, and a few448Please respect copyright.PENANAuYOxADLqQQ
happy settlements could be found there. All of that belongs to the past now...448Please respect copyright.PENANADn76LkRnbR
The mountain was finally in sight of that tired pilot. It reached his old eyes after448Please respect copyright.PENANAONgysUU2eZ
yet another, albeit bigger than usual, thunderclap - one as if announcing their arrival.448Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0AVP4ONOA
No amount of clouds or threatening thunders could keep it hidden anymore, and the448Please respect copyright.PENANAVKj4IjtJj5
sounds of those struggling engines had no choice but to make themselves even louder.448Please respect copyright.PENANAldKd2sMAj8
They grew desperate as the Bolt Lander’s efforts against that punishing storm kept448Please respect copyright.PENANA76yPotIrZ3
increasing; an effort that did not go unnoticed by its cargo. The force of five sent...448Please respect copyright.PENANAlKiwtxUXZc
“Boss...” called out one of the four calmly sitting with a beautiful, elegant sword448Please respect copyright.PENANAFWdg6LwzHZ
stationed between his legs “and you didn’t want us to tag along this time.”448Please respect copyright.PENANAaMiCTWy5B1
“Keep it shut.” said the one sitting in front of him; a female whose voluptuous448Please respect copyright.PENANAMkolxYEzqI
curves were a gift that no shadow could ever hope to conceal. “What, and miss out on448Please respect copyright.PENANAxwTagqaQrf
all this?” he insisted as he spun around that sword a couple of times.448Please respect copyright.PENANAKKwVn2fCw7
“Yeah captain,” another joined in; also feminine, with a calm and collected voice448Please respect copyright.PENANAUzwgVwE8Lo
“Why didn’t you want us to come along this time?” she asked while her fingers kept448Please respect copyright.PENANAoxKNtwtdGL
drumming one of her thighs... The one standing up said nothing...448Please respect copyright.PENANAAoh69RCnqR
“Capt’n? Capt’n can ya hear me?” a voice rustling through a small box on the wall,448Please respect copyright.PENANAjOGSenxtVg
they were words from the pilot, and they are struggling to reach the five waiting448Please respect copyright.PENANAEMIJFkPxDO
patiently.448Please respect copyright.PENANAgLl7QDpVcj
“We hear you Sheiska.” the one standing up finally spoke, “Give us the good news.”448Please respect copyright.PENANASBYFkfmaZ7
“Sir, she can’t take it for much longer...” the obvious difficulty the pilot was having448Please respect copyright.PENANAvNICeFIn4I
easily discerned from all that increasing static “We have to make the drop-off now...”448Please respect copyright.PENANAmeNp7DoGdk
“How far are we from that mountain?” the captain of the Hand asked while looking448Please respect copyright.PENANAEnkXuXuItg
at the rest. “We will soon be flying over Brosse...”448Please respect copyright.PENANALEc2KXqADN
“Is there no way she can bring us any closer?” the captain’s right hand already waving448Please respect copyright.PENANASl8GYcE7qL
to the rest as an indication to make themselves ready “Sheiska?”448Please respect copyright.PENANAkAcZcsK37s
“No sir, I don’t... God darn it... all...” a louder sound than usual was heard this time448Please respect copyright.PENANAyb5AVUunD7
coming not from the speaker box but the pilot’s cabinet. “I guess not...” the captain448Please respect copyright.PENANAUpMk5XBvnr
murmured... “Sorry sir... lost the reading on the instruments for a while there” things448Please respect copyright.PENANAiv4K0DuTqC
resumed to just how bad they were previously “So what say you, captain?”448Please respect copyright.PENANA3MX8AakoqN
“It’s not like we have much choice,” the captain looked behind him and saw the448Please respect copyright.PENANAWeN3pzuwBT
other four already fully prepared and waiting “open it up for us when you are ready.”448Please respect copyright.PENANADrtL3tsBCm
“Aye, sir...” the sound of a heavy lock was heard as mechanical noises capable of448Please respect copyright.PENANAZnd3uQgvr1
distinguishing themselves, even with such a storm running rampant outside, were448Please respect copyright.PENANAX3o2gnvX95
heard heading to the back of the aircraft. Their eyes followed and then the way for448Please respect copyright.PENANA9x68CnGD39
them to jump unfurled. “Sir I would strongly advise for a halo jump with this nasty448Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ6WI3J04M
weather and all.”448Please respect copyright.PENANAFzFyD3qwyp
“Alright you heard the man...” the captain’s words placed all five in a single file448Please respect copyright.PENANAuUCOL6bqzt
“We dive straight down to get away from these clouds as fast as possible and once we448Please respect copyright.PENANAlMq2LXNnHy
are in the clear I will signal you all to deploy the parachutes. Now gear up and let’s go.448Please respect copyright.PENANAyuwPaLENW4
Rhim, you go first.”448Please respect copyright.PENANAXGbYgJLulK
