“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbKczFK6Lj
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMZnh0ezY
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb9zgmZakm
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5HSDblZkt
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ25b3bBFm
first took the throne.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26V4OcoFv8
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSDXtGIWsI
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3byBkDnh2N
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkoWuqrmv
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrUhumr8Ut
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF455zb4sv
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEsV6PHbgQ
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Cvd7LaaK
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDv6TGr8Lx
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL63m9jYV7
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLG3Ov5VZ
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3tocVjBX5
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO1qd3rHMB
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfgFLRZDoQ
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPthBYUdYN
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHDD0oFK9g
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSvrhOesoJ
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi05k9pyBbS
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GF4ReTiBN
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gxqHlDim8
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7gIMUI1jT
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfROi1rtcwr
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYeVXVd1Vg
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqgNNTV8W6
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyeJIvN9Tt
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjbegWd6W1
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMjd5AdpJy
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7bAmH6ZwF
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKLlzFDqfj
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMEyT9fakP
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqG9h90ZnU
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BUtD06jhw
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xyGGHD5BG
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH5DWaXr3H
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1SsMHUdO4
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmfza40Jyl
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4onqfCTbBL
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmxbU0fvd4
this manner the five-warrior tradition.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrtoVuvEaO
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXftR6eaIKs
royal court pointed out.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrskdrCy7v
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwMg5xqXqa
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFn0qQ3JOr
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZg0nu1u0q
taking place during all this time.
