“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.
