Chapter Five355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84PKo41CGo
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jQ05LZTc9
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczohcXZPc7
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbeJ8jz2LV
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdjQlm7O5H
always succeed.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZLvtYQ03
That is what we do, who we are.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q48uDL6cI
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNjDOEIPq5
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGOYODGqS
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLC0xI4HNq
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xG93POQmh
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv8YhP9eBl
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZggdn3IoP
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGEgRkL3z8
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2TPSCYSP
to succeed, and we always do.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJF74iJsGI
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXJcXeKabV
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYZYLV9en
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO0wEkdPFn
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj10h6TWqW6
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfj4PtUmm4
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5QEx7YEC
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8q5zhb03
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf4od4qFW3
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao99WpvnfV
at all times why we succeed...355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaznZt9IQu
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOmMOjL1a
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6fTtDzzs
with, in both time and geography.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSnevJU9UH
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskhzMU2Tik
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8UwF6KdJ
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy21qmahmWH
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n7ozt0sBc
in the eyes.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbct8ne2VBD
Be always mindful of this.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs7Sz1Ivrl
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX5vvngNz6
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw79UxaLJk
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnCa5eXf2w
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoQahlagbH
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcazo8AiVD
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItxGwFOF5Q
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoypYGmkGe0
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MlHGO1EsY
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBKA9SrVdV
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi8AihqZVE
command.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW75GMvmTk
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd73W2yamj
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC12iYnhyN
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbFLPTccWY
about this.
