“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
279Please respect copyright.PENANAiaNZMF8xpJ
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the279Please respect copyright.PENANAjbjRLcf4Zn
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly279Please respect copyright.PENANAySBSDprbfx
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of279Please respect copyright.PENANANGd8iAHY1X
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies279Please respect copyright.PENANAMoxEhH7jRv
first took the throne.279Please respect copyright.PENANAum37bCdpI4
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.279Please respect copyright.PENANAF6WVZIipC7
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible279Please respect copyright.PENANAtc6V6uwRXj
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by279Please respect copyright.PENANA2SWwvLnWNy
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and279Please respect copyright.PENANA2pBwpGyxL8
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for279Please respect copyright.PENANAgIoJWE9GwZ
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about279Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7lZ8WpAV7
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the279Please respect copyright.PENANAZj4fQatrIW
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra279Please respect copyright.PENANA1paA1Kzqw9
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital279Please respect copyright.PENANAvghFaJOx68
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.279Please respect copyright.PENANAOnZKG4o8MM
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more279Please respect copyright.PENANAIR0yBM9fhG
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.279Please respect copyright.PENANAU873AmVoRx
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies279Please respect copyright.PENANAo7aLT2nj78
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow279Please respect copyright.PENANAj68rcVjNEL
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.279Please respect copyright.PENANA4BJx00PW8d
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else279Please respect copyright.PENANAmoGmD9Nqu0
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the279Please respect copyright.PENANAmdIwIPzCKQ
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery279Please respect copyright.PENANArLeJUkh48Q
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds279Please respect copyright.PENANAeGR2uHlxaM
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.279Please respect copyright.PENANA6JtfVoaUzn
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly279Please respect copyright.PENANAgKDUgOuCN1
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the279Please respect copyright.PENANArNkuSNoDwc
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand279Please respect copyright.PENANAYSVe1liSkt
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this279Please respect copyright.PENANA9vSXTZKz71
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out279Please respect copyright.PENANAcYFWKaMgOl
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.279Please respect copyright.PENANAXMEbqQvtUH
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the279Please respect copyright.PENANAVVKpJAIylI
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and279Please respect copyright.PENANATupcrKJrmi
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,279Please respect copyright.PENANAMlgk0mHeA0
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,279Please respect copyright.PENANAGeojsJrZsW
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had279Please respect copyright.PENANAFCa9HoUBFH
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in279Please respect copyright.PENANAKzaniIb1Rr
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?279Please respect copyright.PENANAYHxdbY9c26
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.279Please respect copyright.PENANAMWi9YyBj6p
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital279Please respect copyright.PENANADmTpalvI3m
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits279Please respect copyright.PENANA9JsBw1aGUe
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in279Please respect copyright.PENANA4MabIhOMY1
this manner the five-warrior tradition.279Please respect copyright.PENANASp1HTelgMQ
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the279Please respect copyright.PENANAOUtWPoPl2B
royal court pointed out.279Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8kH4nGy91
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group279Please respect copyright.PENANA0S2Ev3K5LU
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.279Please respect copyright.PENANA53FdZjCkME
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever279Please respect copyright.PENANAqYPs5g08Yw
taking place during all this time.
