“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsv12TQvEX
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtODEkLoNEM
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6mU97MjYZ
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz1JYCzroR
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFB0q0QVJ1
first took the throne.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYMGJiRUBn
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq24ifYbmtT
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxJD1f7CS
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m8wupR2NK
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZleSlIzAgA
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M8ax6OTOF
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jMrnsmILk
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySLdgJaD9A
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mCfly4kPC
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcDU430bqD
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5JQF1Nr1a
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nku9ytQ7V
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDMTBYqX7
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU2piZwTmk
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91T8onw9l
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnb2cIKFSi
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnqVdL5BVh
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXXmEhA6Ni
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXg9tCr8Ey
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5bt8tWgVn
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Dt1BUEqq
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluAKAGBPk
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YDstloqco
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHJoYLa1k8
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYFNmRyAn
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TSVvKr6oh
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTk9beBMU
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha9TKjpqdK
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZXO6dGv3
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6czx8zSX
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw3NxQTygM
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTy7Tg3uu1
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhWXwUhuAF
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0klADb1UXl
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIRMrsLQjg
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXSfjUd7cq
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHtHtfuEuj
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY0sLnRIv3
this manner the five-warrior tradition.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjB5ySXAql
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWbcqtUCHD
royal court pointed out.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixzEpjy7yk
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC8lpP7lwj
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPLieEXS73
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvWIIJePmR
taking place during all this time.
