“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.
