Chapter Three102Please respect copyright.PENANAsfDAVXFw2u
“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAk63vAqIsrF
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the102Please respect copyright.PENANAcxP2Lkgdx1
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly102Please respect copyright.PENANAJvNQcwZqSF
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of102Please respect copyright.PENANAHwiOJm68Zh
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies102Please respect copyright.PENANAb2DJkHsy1P
first took the throne.102Please respect copyright.PENANAPBqTgMirUi
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.102Please respect copyright.PENANAQmcRX5qLeo
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible102Please respect copyright.PENANA9FBp3ssa4X
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by102Please respect copyright.PENANAL4IzQk4kdw
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and102Please respect copyright.PENANA52LlaU8muQ
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for102Please respect copyright.PENANAl0oK39lrrF
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about102Please respect copyright.PENANAjCaK4BqUee
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the102Please respect copyright.PENANAeHZYqWYtyt
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra102Please respect copyright.PENANAx4zoEWNHsP
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital102Please respect copyright.PENANA0RBs3fleNo
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.102Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bbz2b9a3Y
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more102Please respect copyright.PENANA63h9DDltFd
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.102Please respect copyright.PENANAIiZ2cYJa0J
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies102Please respect copyright.PENANAWl5gsAiH9i
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow102Please respect copyright.PENANAY8BVNLivvP
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.102Please respect copyright.PENANAdH9KJw75zA
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else102Please respect copyright.PENANAmG0CrjJR1p
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the102Please respect copyright.PENANAepOqez93Lj
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery102Please respect copyright.PENANAT3x6ty0qxC
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds102Please respect copyright.PENANAF2j9Il6nKu
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.102Please respect copyright.PENANA9yTFpbqaWX
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly102Please respect copyright.PENANAEtBoxoAEGS
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the102Please respect copyright.PENANApkg2O0OuWG
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand102Please respect copyright.PENANAKm13c0xUaX
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this102Please respect copyright.PENANAi9SEYeGNX2
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out102Please respect copyright.PENANAiNAtzD3EMT
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.102Please respect copyright.PENANALjGI02L2hZ
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the102Please respect copyright.PENANAXH7u3EKEzr
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and102Please respect copyright.PENANAqRgtbmr9ze
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,102Please respect copyright.PENANA2YuJBLrBq8
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,102Please respect copyright.PENANAWRFI8yh5RU
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had102Please respect copyright.PENANAQkxUM4sJiA
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in102Please respect copyright.PENANA4UOngOKAYp
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?102Please respect copyright.PENANAPrn8P80fft
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.102Please respect copyright.PENANAlhpWXlu6sQ
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital102Please respect copyright.PENANAbLU0rummnX
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits102Please respect copyright.PENANAIa0d7sII9N
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in102Please respect copyright.PENANA7zbMz2i8cJ
this manner the five-warrior tradition.102Please respect copyright.PENANAZvNzNirVdc
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the102Please respect copyright.PENANAYc8SFtRkvj
royal court pointed out.102Please respect copyright.PENANASSjOMLcyY7
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group102Please respect copyright.PENANAC4jXYv6kUF
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.102Please respect copyright.PENANAGQlkT3qiDi
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever102Please respect copyright.PENANAPQKZZAY3ZG
taking place during all this time.
