“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqc447vPg
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp9n9ET4z8
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7quapUlxuX
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrP1yaCcdN
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmx7cAFa1Y
first took the throne.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR05xh2571
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnbdORFI9
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs01i2X8uK
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VUk9eRn9A
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoRYnQHmRX
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxqhdAf7Vy
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfo7zYZ4tC
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3dGPbI26F
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRxA9R4IH
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5IU7aN9t
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOpDmSqINT
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNT2ECOnB
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrevmUxUnwD
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfWDzRXRVA
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWiorQuHGR
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTxXRrR6sh
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BnOSb8GdE
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCimWTxb44I
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OK5xjRf9b
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0BoUEf7h
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzpdlo8aJi
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVc10GUog9
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ml2NquvRm
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuzv5JCAq
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkZYt7ItKd
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rt66srF26
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFhWstiLKT
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ryCLrU3Y
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkyLRY59kZ
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3iE5tcufJ
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwY9BjcZVt
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2UoMKd3pU
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCySJxNg8
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyeFOB4o5b
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7uYmOexh
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8lyU8O8RV
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35ZUePMSrL
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHmRV2I2YT
this manner the five-warrior tradition.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyC2mfMcPP
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ2KkA90MD
royal court pointed out.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYWthVfJix
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK03OYVfLV
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjjkGJZoD
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXazjUNfAqe
taking place during all this time.
