“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
269Please respect copyright.PENANAtqAkCCEGLr
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the269Please respect copyright.PENANAQtHmuKzfDu
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly269Please respect copyright.PENANAqWTexPHSoz
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of269Please respect copyright.PENANAvCQA1qa0g8
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies269Please respect copyright.PENANAvZDfqXYvVS
first took the throne.269Please respect copyright.PENANAIITEV4vTX4
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.269Please respect copyright.PENANATPeWXwbQF0
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible269Please respect copyright.PENANASeXYnzdBy3
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by269Please respect copyright.PENANA1vVyZeyJw2
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and269Please respect copyright.PENANAbpuhxNGYev
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for269Please respect copyright.PENANAyBiemRftWZ
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about269Please respect copyright.PENANA7rprBylkmG
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the269Please respect copyright.PENANAgk4Pf1s1SO
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra269Please respect copyright.PENANADGQySht5ZS
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital269Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGrzkPNpm
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.269Please respect copyright.PENANAqcJsOBggaT
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more269Please respect copyright.PENANAtOV8RefEEY
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.269Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gr9mqkzRl
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies269Please respect copyright.PENANAArw3L4Z7WJ
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow269Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAK249sKP
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.269Please respect copyright.PENANAZGLfPcLYUb
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else269Please respect copyright.PENANALPVbzz4yH8
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the269Please respect copyright.PENANAWl0xBESw4Z
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery269Please respect copyright.PENANAq4dN1aA9x7
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds269Please respect copyright.PENANAMUdexXvPYW
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.269Please respect copyright.PENANA7hsvhee00f
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly269Please respect copyright.PENANA2IXDVp7IaH
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the269Please respect copyright.PENANAvyFtKR49dW
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand269Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Kklqgxmw
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this269Please respect copyright.PENANAxNOEajYxA2
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out269Please respect copyright.PENANALpOFGNKE2r
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.269Please respect copyright.PENANA2PYYGMrfv0
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the269Please respect copyright.PENANAfigPpQ7sOV
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and269Please respect copyright.PENANAHYiPNqStnk
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,269Please respect copyright.PENANAeuA5Ux4gNE
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,269Please respect copyright.PENANArH92QMXX6j
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had269Please respect copyright.PENANAhZv8Dtc1SC
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in269Please respect copyright.PENANAIGKrJ96qFR
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?269Please respect copyright.PENANAt1VelT7wkW
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.269Please respect copyright.PENANABY4eBNCH3k
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital269Please respect copyright.PENANAA6z0xggTKd
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits269Please respect copyright.PENANAnI7EUyzaFu
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in269Please respect copyright.PENANAdlWPp84Kv0
this manner the five-warrior tradition.269Please respect copyright.PENANAM773QckirE
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the269Please respect copyright.PENANAqgYmY2DeAB
royal court pointed out.269Please respect copyright.PENANAJ13T2aY4mU
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group269Please respect copyright.PENANAZEQqxHz9RY
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.269Please respect copyright.PENANAX1QHdONXma
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever269Please respect copyright.PENANAGAliXY4tDD
taking place during all this time.
