“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmT4Vf6tA5
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizU0vzUXCC
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKALPdAyRb
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8up3DDfjw
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy4TD3nW5j
first took the throne.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKuPeFTyH
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE9SzM08vW
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4DQChH2Bb
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74c3efGfEc
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLxYH4lgdD
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmv0Wyojhi
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9q5AYqBLQ
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUxf0k4Gwz
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpq5m1oddP
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUwARRnpH
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokF0wtgm0O
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ieZ4UWki
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNQDEqqCt
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsman1Xur
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY34sgOwtx
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46972tX9W
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyUyzW6Nq9
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXanqYZc8Z1
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVrE55hb0m
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhGNSYyizG
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIVQNsNV9j
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZsG6ECo44
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ2EXpqRDn
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkjxhb3zw
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqbI029mgh
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPL7kHkT0C
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8s2xbkxR
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixtu9kOPDn
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo5LALZmYP
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4drx15kqY
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpIEyVtlgk
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoGQs8EayV
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy26d8tFbYh
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31eL2Rt7pq
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr8Ycx8ZtD
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwzxaEe7v9
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xjYhqtL0i
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmvOryUJDD
this manner the five-warrior tradition.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDtHi8Unro
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tx2zlsNo1
royal court pointed out.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zc0Dwk36A
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj8gQ9HUoZ
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NvhEiEFjB
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB8c2aLtAC
taking place during all this time.
