Let me know how this works to start._________________________________________It all came down to this: months of training, years of inevitabilities, lives of anticipation. Their training had brought them to this point. It had brought them from lands around Aundair, each man with a unique story to tell; loved ones they have lost, enemies they have made. They all received the same training each soldier got these days, the crash course in killing Thranish blasphemers. But the platoon aboard this low-flying airship had been subject to more training than most, the focal point being their next act, the singular moment that had stirred in each a primal fear coupled with the excitement of battle.The sky was black. Wind whipped at their faces as the breakneck speed of this mystical ship tore through the night. A far-off explosion lit up countless more ships much like the one upon this brave platoon currently stood. It would not be as easy as they had hoped, but nothing came easy these days, in these lives.A bright flash erupted to their starboard side, every reflex reeling them left, away from the instantaneous boom and rush of intense heat. The crack of wood was only drowned out by the screams of not-so-distant men as an airship flying a few hundred feet parallel came barreling down to the ground.“Five minutes 'til drop!” came the shout from the Captain, cementing the fear of doom lingering in the back of every soldier of the 51st Airborne’s mind.</blockquote>
