Chapter Five298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlTDr6n700
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnOGPM2coV
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn2NXcQctZ
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQEay89naD
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqt3t5uGds
always succeed.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJ6QXFHLL
That is what we do, who we are.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kBAZNUs7v
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcBcGYhTnl
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcICpxhvInq
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDsiWWvS7Y
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD5MUwvmi7
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLSExDEOL6
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWolHrA3m1
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnCe9Zrc4M
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc06mmd7ga
to succeed, and we always do.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MJm5aTbhK
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8D15cT2b
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIbhJalEss
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavQ2E2Gdwh
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XnKV8XYEY
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE996r3napy
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9USmejvUo
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSl8PLrBJ7
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Wr8eNdwb
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wCRmcixzN
at all times why we succeed...298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTAiMGQPsq
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9mwWEwzUi
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvsQTPSGyQ
with, in both time and geography.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofFL6rxDxG
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WI74Qb5dx
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRK6vpkPm7
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3loghYrZGW
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50hQ3o0y5g
in the eyes.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVsTDFaC4n
Be always mindful of this.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4lsdhib0K
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pArzw0Nkb
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQx5IAgdRy
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ElMCYSGE
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRbrOJM17E
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRsxmtTVJk
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYFLSiSeSW
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBQhcurXO
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e432nMXHR
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnz6M4GxuR
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJgIEKh3cr
command.298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEtxDiQ2pa
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhERuqiwU
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZfYhzlyzG
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVYjIz96cE
about this.
