“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5JmtdXtBF
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00pxyPZs1n
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaORTyNTKCs
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiANYXU7lu
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHZwEhr3PI
first took the throne.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FpE5hdvOO
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpSeZ99UiJ
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdw6HAKzV2
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kmLqzXzoh
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W2WEvcfAM
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZvIbVtFC
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoTuCsfYfU
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7xvKSwGda
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30xPISPs7k
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVLL6FBG8g
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkfUNOBAiR
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwJjGzCwD6
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvCuM1Iexs
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jn3cS7ig2
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbACZIGO9E
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDKgFx9sWP
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPl8wLd9le
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE6PJnHzhD
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3sY96sNWj
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jj3da5nNk
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYCsZWZNJR
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgJ2SktrXq
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7rK8JYgm9
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc2CWvfjjV
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdJF2Kg9eR
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy29HDTd1wG
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XnXQ9jxuH
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhXPvcgRFR
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKoMPlSig
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1NLrafkN
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GeOtBMLMK
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2okupmbOEX
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgXkcGuWsK
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbimBzHJRkU
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Mdjo1YUt
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI4wkokcuQ
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRgUHCEo1q
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU3w3b7A5Y
this manner the five-warrior tradition.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RjX2FKYxq
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr3QfM6Hep
royal court pointed out.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4GtXYd62
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfunRD14Q8v
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdCMd75dlK
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU8UeHD3CT
taking place during all this time.
