“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
422Please respect copyright.PENANAuu74AsRDRd
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the422Please respect copyright.PENANAfD9N1OjYWd
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly422Please respect copyright.PENANApwDBqsvtvZ
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of422Please respect copyright.PENANAhUBDpRItE3
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies422Please respect copyright.PENANAYlhkrOgeYc
first took the throne.422Please respect copyright.PENANA6kotOByO6H
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.422Please respect copyright.PENANAyxzFExjgy6
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible422Please respect copyright.PENANAZpDMyXGwCh
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by422Please respect copyright.PENANAD81VK6dtUw
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and422Please respect copyright.PENANAt9blhmrBSp
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for422Please respect copyright.PENANA6MnDgnefFp
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about422Please respect copyright.PENANAJFqN91aJfL
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the422Please respect copyright.PENANAnndsAhfiW2
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra422Please respect copyright.PENANAEm9wAmg2Nv
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital422Please respect copyright.PENANAQ91ZfZcgsb
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.422Please respect copyright.PENANAzAQH974cLc
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more422Please respect copyright.PENANAHrCOG09Lhn
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.422Please respect copyright.PENANA2NllaH1Iqu
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies422Please respect copyright.PENANAUoHpWRPivU
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow422Please respect copyright.PENANACs0IqTd9xU
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.422Please respect copyright.PENANA7qiZ1NEKAR
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else422Please respect copyright.PENANAze1UKPtS8T
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the422Please respect copyright.PENANA0pZKgqWlWM
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery422Please respect copyright.PENANAHgQYdHYY1H
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds422Please respect copyright.PENANAnJkwbjW3j8
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.422Please respect copyright.PENANAECdzaPEHBU
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly422Please respect copyright.PENANAaxpLq8MRTH
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the422Please respect copyright.PENANA5xFFqRSgzh
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand422Please respect copyright.PENANAPUPWglYNOE
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this422Please respect copyright.PENANAPgRadVEdIw
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out422Please respect copyright.PENANAJKgdEh49tu
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.422Please respect copyright.PENANAcouCRrIuhF
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the422Please respect copyright.PENANAtXW7DrM6h6
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and422Please respect copyright.PENANA5BqPCy9wGk
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,422Please respect copyright.PENANApjVUc2I7WN
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,422Please respect copyright.PENANA4rdx3OhhEW
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had422Please respect copyright.PENANAA3euiClsgU
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in422Please respect copyright.PENANAEafmUJd5Hm
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?422Please respect copyright.PENANAn1o7USLCxV
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.422Please respect copyright.PENANAQF5fOzKSpZ
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital422Please respect copyright.PENANAKV1WoWi2FP
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits422Please respect copyright.PENANA9JrDh2w3Yb
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in422Please respect copyright.PENANAqMHOTl17U7
this manner the five-warrior tradition.422Please respect copyright.PENANAFBzczhtAst
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the422Please respect copyright.PENANAnXnqQe52av
royal court pointed out.422Please respect copyright.PENANAcSyWR3t6dW
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group422Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Fjlso74c
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.422Please respect copyright.PENANAX1qczRUfhY
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever422Please respect copyright.PENANAE25XtKvOBg
taking place during all this time.
