Chapter Three107Please respect copyright.PENANAnE3ZhTgc4s
“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
107Please respect copyright.PENANApKdIOcnsTT
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the107Please respect copyright.PENANAsliBgglIZo
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly107Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmpI7Oleh
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of107Please respect copyright.PENANADE785Ta8AZ
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies107Please respect copyright.PENANAp8zxPgUJZE
first took the throne.107Please respect copyright.PENANAi9CsiFGdGP
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.107Please respect copyright.PENANASMSPxEmw2J
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible107Please respect copyright.PENANApSUGt6CgeB
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by107Please respect copyright.PENANAdvzPfdjWOA
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and107Please respect copyright.PENANALa2jrZvLIS
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for107Please respect copyright.PENANAK59KfwpjSJ
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about107Please respect copyright.PENANA35lGb9SGH8
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the107Please respect copyright.PENANABmY9DRmh7Z
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra107Please respect copyright.PENANAJZI5g6Pxhd
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital107Please respect copyright.PENANAjsEUuJDzHI
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.107Please respect copyright.PENANAxBhzK7JijZ
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more107Please respect copyright.PENANAFSf5J0iLbf
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.107Please respect copyright.PENANAybzCtaSy0T
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies107Please respect copyright.PENANAxv99ihrnXs
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow107Please respect copyright.PENANAJgAyjwODMm
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.107Please respect copyright.PENANArLmIfwr1Ll
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else107Please respect copyright.PENANAJPBchkRPCC
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the107Please respect copyright.PENANAwfpCyKI3EU
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery107Please respect copyright.PENANAF2T1t3j5ct
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds107Please respect copyright.PENANAArCIkPZMl8
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.107Please respect copyright.PENANArKpzBQpWMw
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly107Please respect copyright.PENANAz2MWjXjaMR
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the107Please respect copyright.PENANA5U8oxxEEky
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand107Please respect copyright.PENANAkCNNZKi8C3
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this107Please respect copyright.PENANA6EOkUITOhX
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out107Please respect copyright.PENANAEpSIhCpe4q
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.107Please respect copyright.PENANADbo4FJ9SyM
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the107Please respect copyright.PENANAPnx2VB33ye
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and107Please respect copyright.PENANAIwB0AAKemn
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,107Please respect copyright.PENANAf1iI7X3i7F
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,107Please respect copyright.PENANASAfuEukx7o
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had107Please respect copyright.PENANAa6pTgK3EVw
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in107Please respect copyright.PENANAYUNyzWgsqq
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?107Please respect copyright.PENANAPMbDorzBPx
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.107Please respect copyright.PENANA39WvpYlmdv
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital107Please respect copyright.PENANA71x7j7WC2w
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits107Please respect copyright.PENANAJdKbuZaVoO
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in107Please respect copyright.PENANASI3TnbUuQS
this manner the five-warrior tradition.107Please respect copyright.PENANACjdvkjXhO4
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the107Please respect copyright.PENANA6hiT1HS6Wv
royal court pointed out.107Please respect copyright.PENANASAAUHnnccB
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group107Please respect copyright.PENANAlzT6NdtNay
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.107Please respect copyright.PENANAqd0ztnJgsx
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever107Please respect copyright.PENANAWrOWaTYRln
taking place during all this time.
