“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAcnZAcnHHbv
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the282Please respect copyright.PENANADOHNjiIUaz
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly282Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ROKEcd8A
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of282Please respect copyright.PENANAC0KPmMyjZu
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies282Please respect copyright.PENANAOSvtvZp1MP
first took the throne.282Please respect copyright.PENANAqjV0BahN6q
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.282Please respect copyright.PENANAwMpqypDODs
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible282Please respect copyright.PENANApyGRbFZYM2
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by282Please respect copyright.PENANAdOmuFFUUAX
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and282Please respect copyright.PENANALDLy5JoPhV
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for282Please respect copyright.PENANA3lp1K8BOIA
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about282Please respect copyright.PENANAnOAg2iLspq
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the282Please respect copyright.PENANAocGUHf8eNp
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra282Please respect copyright.PENANAT9IovHJkYo
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital282Please respect copyright.PENANADMjYYt4rCB
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.282Please respect copyright.PENANAW6kqoCTBCS
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more282Please respect copyright.PENANAz4nXLKB9h1
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.282Please respect copyright.PENANA7ib7yLNxo0
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies282Please respect copyright.PENANAf5q0rIec10
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow282Please respect copyright.PENANAojmNGDanqp
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.282Please respect copyright.PENANApnUuAIdOqj
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else282Please respect copyright.PENANAjfHQnBbLfI
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the282Please respect copyright.PENANALS2NKeqpPE
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery282Please respect copyright.PENANAQsSx8XKAxK
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds282Please respect copyright.PENANA2T4ZDdf0bk
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.282Please respect copyright.PENANAMP1L10GfZ4
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly282Please respect copyright.PENANAS4w2CbFiQx
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the282Please respect copyright.PENANAReUr6zXKJe
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand282Please respect copyright.PENANA72HXG34fDk
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this282Please respect copyright.PENANAoaymxTHy1S
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out282Please respect copyright.PENANAV0RTyffSg0
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.282Please respect copyright.PENANAynpGmB65Y4
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the282Please respect copyright.PENANArCGfqlVzFS
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and282Please respect copyright.PENANAybCB8WmJof
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,282Please respect copyright.PENANA14TzxGLltc
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,282Please respect copyright.PENANAmiHwxfTSel
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had282Please respect copyright.PENANA2cntJz6An4
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in282Please respect copyright.PENANAeqRHbMTZQ4
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?282Please respect copyright.PENANAGyRAwPWtbM
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.282Please respect copyright.PENANAzf39PqcOKF
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital282Please respect copyright.PENANAdArHnRMogV
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits282Please respect copyright.PENANAD9Nus24co7
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in282Please respect copyright.PENANAoXxugfuppN
this manner the five-warrior tradition.282Please respect copyright.PENANAT8DmkyS0z6
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the282Please respect copyright.PENANAPkmQgCMLGz
royal court pointed out.282Please respect copyright.PENANAbNJpf2bg00
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group282Please respect copyright.PENANAUpQSeei67v
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.282Please respect copyright.PENANAudsvAXNyau
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever282Please respect copyright.PENANAy2xqOPfRha
taking place during all this time.
