“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvQoDJ9X7Q
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwuJF2FRHb
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPOhPxPI0
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49vEUUpoM
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMkbVODwI
first took the throne.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjQuULqzYv
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFBDwgfipK
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFK22VVMsD
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGEF1GwJwb
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtc9VOCG5
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCrnJP6gSo
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVkH6eWCkz
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRBDaqGb7D
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCZRWt3P0I
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVm1quorh
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z9l0aiqSl
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ82LyM2bvE
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjCZhwWmPw
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZcvrlvfWd
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqS3fhaL4l
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSY5cqqzFw
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDYmBYg1UH
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3w6TChwp1
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSMQ7z9jt
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXYB3WNRFX
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmKZ8Wb3rQ
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5yWdHc3H3
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtryE9zM5T
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0xVwhbki9
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKMmNBoFdX
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvbr9rsWS5
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvj8Iq7eLo
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBarQaX9tdw
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiArgQvtNp
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLtpQdRaWx
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqew14f0ijg
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRJcdws3gb
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3AQWjqkTy
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KTdH9odfX
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfi2xd53lT
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqgTyDqIo1
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70J3xBHvS
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiYWwrR8NA
this manner the five-warrior tradition.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8MkPjRPc4
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyZPxPNiBp
royal court pointed out.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySvQbM305L
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBQRz7QSi7
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9gAy99m0X
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNgzfkqNHe
taking place during all this time.
