“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
280Please respect copyright.PENANArQ9CGS2LzP
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the280Please respect copyright.PENANADcDrRdXNZi
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly280Please respect copyright.PENANAkhtLKFWoO3
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of280Please respect copyright.PENANAkqDDT47qLl
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies280Please respect copyright.PENANAnbCqpF4kvm
first took the throne.280Please respect copyright.PENANAsSwbV69lIm
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.280Please respect copyright.PENANAVPzQjyo0wJ
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible280Please respect copyright.PENANAGZY1oDOnro
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by280Please respect copyright.PENANA7CLbgWDGJv
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and280Please respect copyright.PENANA61ZGqRX52A
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for280Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yic9r3zRL
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about280Please respect copyright.PENANAPwTmNbNSRZ
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the280Please respect copyright.PENANAVetxw4dlhm
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra280Please respect copyright.PENANAHXnPs24fZn
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital280Please respect copyright.PENANAtAbnC7yxBN
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.280Please respect copyright.PENANAzFGXRORzas
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more280Please respect copyright.PENANAlzECJ61ZsC
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.280Please respect copyright.PENANAwiCB4L23t2
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies280Please respect copyright.PENANAJnvPJ0cC7Z
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow280Please respect copyright.PENANAseQVmKlcUQ
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.280Please respect copyright.PENANAowsMqMOQxC
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else280Please respect copyright.PENANAOiqVC2q8sV
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the280Please respect copyright.PENANAPfUg5bHSmF
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery280Please respect copyright.PENANAB189UbXLNk
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds280Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mfSXhN7Y
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.280Please respect copyright.PENANAYbU1u4SnYz
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly280Please respect copyright.PENANAZOYg8DARVp
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the280Please respect copyright.PENANAnzKrW2Poih
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand280Please respect copyright.PENANAxBGyUV5IXV
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this280Please respect copyright.PENANAVbIFytCylc
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out280Please respect copyright.PENANA6l8upMs5N3
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.280Please respect copyright.PENANAZylzIUJBqg
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the280Please respect copyright.PENANANOwTJFMA0E
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and280Please respect copyright.PENANAAaGfiEi0QZ
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,280Please respect copyright.PENANAUGpYZDZhO7
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,280Please respect copyright.PENANAYungxnoJRI
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had280Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ULkd979K
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in280Please respect copyright.PENANAKQwD57VNsC
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?280Please respect copyright.PENANAtQB8pfdPbl
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.280Please respect copyright.PENANAXiDorN7koM
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital280Please respect copyright.PENANA5WqJf5A0uJ
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits280Please respect copyright.PENANALOVgpb3GHU
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in280Please respect copyright.PENANAGXOsF8c9Nv
this manner the five-warrior tradition.280Please respect copyright.PENANAYjKcAeaAfz
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the280Please respect copyright.PENANAaVBUOiF2JM
royal court pointed out.280Please respect copyright.PENANAxczf9WbYDz
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group280Please respect copyright.PENANAsnMxNNLHC4
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.280Please respect copyright.PENANAUma7vjMhjl
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever280Please respect copyright.PENANATc7W1q9al9
taking place during all this time.
