“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6Q16eB1B
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYgAi9ru2V
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHNS9zhUVB
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeYJ0iBtK
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa95truoVb
first took the throne.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21sUJBohQk
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21o0g69rFZ
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcfQZpOUCn
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZuvypWJ5
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbYui9G7IG
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKqRH0o4wV
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp9naNgVRD
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJWRfD6ebJ
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZtvIbK40e
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBhCUawtes
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iahndHCWS
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVcZuHFb8
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqbHuTdZea
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU6A4r1D3Q
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DVCX4CbUk
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfiuakbnCf
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyOxKbJhr6
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGLUmNmGRo
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Eg3bfZou
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDumOaBphK
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2iKjZwNhD
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9f6wWvwkJ
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFaFyWAkr
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAbQgNqlQr
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3sB0CpTl1
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YAdkDZr6
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLl18HspBX
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbI5Riox9A
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0PdLcGhqg
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S7iObkMwE
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH67iSSWubg
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIALCF1gTv
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedAtdS0kcO
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4V6lIA8BN
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXfsEz3NXE
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcUCOJBh9e
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t46lfCxX3
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06KmmWcrqf
this manner the five-warrior tradition.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tJaVAD1lB
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt5umQYQqv
royal court pointed out.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jyn0Wh0KX
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9HGT3MSXR
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8UiZuOSuO
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCtQUAEInu
taking place during all this time.
