“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
146Please respect copyright.PENANAo6TrzFT7Kh
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the146Please respect copyright.PENANAhaF5Rwnxvd
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly146Please respect copyright.PENANASz9wXXNA0U
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of146Please respect copyright.PENANAPI95nY3xWA
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies146Please respect copyright.PENANAhYkAbNBSFl
first took the throne.146Please respect copyright.PENANAXmOfXGjyQV
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.146Please respect copyright.PENANAyCmSCbk3XW
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible146Please respect copyright.PENANAtKsKV9KHRP
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by146Please respect copyright.PENANATchNAedNPT
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and146Please respect copyright.PENANAA5mtg6tHIj
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for146Please respect copyright.PENANABMIutXStHA
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about146Please respect copyright.PENANABYwikSxZM0
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the146Please respect copyright.PENANAYFrXYGg6Za
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra146Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q0vXWkVHm
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital146Please respect copyright.PENANAkqpNLi8ctI
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.146Please respect copyright.PENANAAKrOWNRhSn
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more146Please respect copyright.PENANAYEVQviJmJD
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.146Please respect copyright.PENANAxMyVy114Jc
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies146Please respect copyright.PENANA2PIdZVs6hU
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow146Please respect copyright.PENANAjItBp1wQKn
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.146Please respect copyright.PENANALxgewx8iWv
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else146Please respect copyright.PENANAfRpHMD96yU
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the146Please respect copyright.PENANAiwMvPFGEa8
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery146Please respect copyright.PENANAsUsTko5JpM
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds146Please respect copyright.PENANAj41pvfhGS6
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.146Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Q0z6H5UG
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly146Please respect copyright.PENANAdcdGdemuaa
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the146Please respect copyright.PENANA94UcUZGXVr
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand146Please respect copyright.PENANAqnTTtSPojZ
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this146Please respect copyright.PENANA2neeQBxgQJ
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out146Please respect copyright.PENANAXWJWW87k8m
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.146Please respect copyright.PENANAGlacJHPFW2
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the146Please respect copyright.PENANA3U9PYPgsGg
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and146Please respect copyright.PENANABcyNqQWSM5
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,146Please respect copyright.PENANAaVzyv04qaZ
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,146Please respect copyright.PENANAiUJxDAbGks
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had146Please respect copyright.PENANAJcqSBgKLQ6
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in146Please respect copyright.PENANA3rpX2ZUPf8
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?146Please respect copyright.PENANATCMzDHkwTf
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.146Please respect copyright.PENANAUudjolimu7
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital146Please respect copyright.PENANAtCHCNK4WJv
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits146Please respect copyright.PENANAz8b9ttv1ze
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in146Please respect copyright.PENANAU3bV7AaKK1
this manner the five-warrior tradition.146Please respect copyright.PENANATr35aPfkMT
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the146Please respect copyright.PENANAxgeafWneIY
royal court pointed out.146Please respect copyright.PENANAsUJE2V7kM0
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group146Please respect copyright.PENANAaq1MbzEaDy
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.146Please respect copyright.PENANA1ure8nMTHm
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever146Please respect copyright.PENANASTEmws2yyo
taking place during all this time.
