Chapter Five88Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q6cE4B8aT
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate88Please respect copyright.PENANABq6jMjSltx
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and88Please respect copyright.PENANAZE0RjWtWAb
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are88Please respect copyright.PENANAMQq4rx2nrZ
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we88Please respect copyright.PENANAVC4jMokEPK
always succeed.88Please respect copyright.PENANAFHHjF1FLtL
That is what we do, who we are.88Please respect copyright.PENANA9PYlnDOWYF
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are88Please respect copyright.PENANAUqYpbzCPHI
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing88Please respect copyright.PENANADaAfbVPmMl
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things88Please respect copyright.PENANA8hbysp5vqu
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the88Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ0InQjXlC
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very88Please respect copyright.PENANAKnBDgMQRyU
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything88Please respect copyright.PENANAGL6UQ0CYk1
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.88Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y5pWOlO8E
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us88Please respect copyright.PENANAvPYWVVvLHV
to succeed, and we always do.88Please respect copyright.PENANADZy0FOtTX1
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.88Please respect copyright.PENANA6f63c1Myke
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...88Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q0fQZBHqn
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...88Please respect copyright.PENANAaQhd47xwZL
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any88Please respect copyright.PENANAnsUVOKlKXg
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate88Please respect copyright.PENANAnYCbMTgp0j
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,88Please respect copyright.PENANAru5NfQfPXL
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words88Please respect copyright.PENANAstl2I6584q
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...88Please respect copyright.PENANAnaiVtR9NVm
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember88Please respect copyright.PENANAisjJQb4Tou
at all times why we succeed...88Please respect copyright.PENANAZmEnVAleC8
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.88Please respect copyright.PENANABT43tTeg0f
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged88Please respect copyright.PENANAUhPryh2Qbz
with, in both time and geography.88Please respect copyright.PENANAXBxDNp5gfS
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given88Please respect copyright.PENANAwpHrdJubZ9
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.88Please respect copyright.PENANAnk6fmTy0k5
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has88Please respect copyright.PENANAuxz3epcdNv
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me88Please respect copyright.PENANAMMgh9juGUs
in the eyes.88Please respect copyright.PENANAle5pj2oZHL
Be always mindful of this.88Please respect copyright.PENANAyjnvnft0nS
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of88Please respect copyright.PENANA8gVbi81hRg
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.88Please respect copyright.PENANAxX5YJLkqId
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only88Please respect copyright.PENANAhq5fySG9lY
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue88Please respect copyright.PENANAGdmRfT3daY
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.88Please respect copyright.PENANAfpkvta1oEe
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however88Please respect copyright.PENANA8JnDk971gm
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst88Please respect copyright.PENANAYadnUa6kyP
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of88Please respect copyright.PENANAydAHeta6Js
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up88Please respect copyright.PENANAbNSFyzH5yz
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s88Please respect copyright.PENANAYkLGf8ck8O
command.88Please respect copyright.PENANArCvRv8zZqV
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great88Please respect copyright.PENANA2F1pyuQAzz
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that88Please respect copyright.PENANALcZh3Hekti
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told88Please respect copyright.PENANAQh13VcII9r
about this.
