“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQZRAfEqGa
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdCVvKWNSj
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq34lnA7Cjr
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjphgvtrQte
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmsf6Zyuw7
first took the throne.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnKobEUw3g
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3SCeyEU4U
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaFFduLs2z
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJaSSxWdew
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0KcBwVXDD
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8OHhLyVQ9
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UobLS22Gb
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPmpOY4IUO
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jtMZxjBWU
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUsDKUxNyv
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKj29yFRr9
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeQx0PT0Si
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb7v8KbVsb
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTw6CIatCB
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDk0BcAVL
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UnrRcXxJN
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMB9EbfDwS
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcocuKlSZfP
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrMxo43MNq
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHLqTsuEc
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMBuiZeYJI
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4GIw2EtH
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2oqTHvBgM
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm6MsS34Vk
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BB28tE2j3
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VrQj9yJ6J
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpYVXvwQez
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRmlwybYl7
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABwqo3heuo
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KtG4xHAcT
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8dNPpu9Gm
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUVviZO1OG
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GfhvcUDgf
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRigwBGahE
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSUD8eChw
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5NhzoBV8H
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKFz2Vb1zo
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsJNEr6oYu
this manner the five-warrior tradition.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9it8H5Z1kG
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUxEr89j3W
royal court pointed out.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkrPFPEyh0
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftuG0V4LrY
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YP1FwDGsC
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidNFKFQCdr
taking place during all this time.
