“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzTeyIXHuS
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHt8i0gHnR
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFOTbhfypq
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xh9ykDPkF
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm52MULlPKZ
first took the throne.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYiJnpXjjz
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2JML4shBW
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uikP9ZHXi
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb136KKhILN
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF3WG3OrHa
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kKk7PgvaD
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19EhEolrlX
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKw6iXwQQ8
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBg60Y5ZY
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOID0XSikG
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVr1Z8L6DJ
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM794Pg82a
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ3Gy75yhg
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihTa3Ta9LP
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYsOt3dlfz
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsODO5iDHmI
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBqXhnf4FW
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvhNdWyW2V
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqej646zrP
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNu5uqjfqv
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9NlEqpRNQ
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZkrRDB9dj
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqkR6QBTCh
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22IxrZcT6
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60E4j0NcLg
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61zysWw33A
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBg7C4ekNv
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL9zFCmeEI
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRMH2NMlDt
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8El1F6dM
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE1jHhSlhg
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalynLlIHvB
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORQ0h0qWaE
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsio86N5t7
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrlpZPGtBz
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4D1aQSUHh
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKEG1aYQRA
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI1EObrv4P
this manner the five-warrior tradition.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6f7bLlNU4
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9KGqJPXH
royal court pointed out.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPYOSrQCK
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJRNptRG0w
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtXPHHzHV
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7C0484pCc
taking place during all this time.
