Chapter Five349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIccFYWl53
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmqrk0yjK1
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfVsWZAFC
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9UVBuCPPO
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWn7Tzdw29
always succeed.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X2L04ulfT
That is what we do, who we are.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgp1YqGK97
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CxuzwHwDE
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeY8henTr0
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSx20ap374
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CM8RVkJX2
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1CT2C41jL
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlMAWOasFR
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEddqwbOIT
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TecSLoNFQ
to succeed, and we always do.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sxknqukqJ
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhioDcZSA
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO3sti05Wg
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡramyNYePdv
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTNaucaHQ
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71oI98HBuv
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ekmiwx7lN
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFdfO0rEb
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOyKNI4Xnq
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHclldHpiA
at all times why we succeed...349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1JQCZMhH
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8HDqUa9wn
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWlyH4HVb
with, in both time and geography.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PzDMrkFL
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g28D457dX
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie71ULK5fc
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgDI3Itwwn
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFAAXQIOug
in the eyes.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiB17R0amE
Be always mindful of this.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoq6JcPihT
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS3kaK9D1x
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyK3i23EG9
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eVP4N0aIi
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMDFxvaTJz
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBezXgfDVGs
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8248e6TQuR
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRkpTy6N0i
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6PajYSTcq
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUQeSEH9Nb
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2PQRhA14J
command.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYA0pwRueI
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazuCyAmJbf
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu9gcJ9Fyl
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW11DHo9iu
about this.
