“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf95mHHRhQz
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapDUKfCVW8
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89TEr6AhVH
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzllD2oKsS
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BPFQarVR4
first took the throne.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7IM2Y2X1
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fCu9XI9pX
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4M2RofpjK
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvKq42nUT3
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZxTfpDc97
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf3IJyzSkC
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0QDxMrO2Y
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HATNHB5Ef
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMiHzugygr
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrxrQk6SWI
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqSxz4jZEf
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJts3Sbto
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDQynM5e0J
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcsPnLEmEF
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJINfrIckE
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0G4OkPIF
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxo6rXxy4q
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBYPSWtCJ
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviID6a2xJA
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJcU4sTJLT
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf799Ao9MSh
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3enqrmbV
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU6mlUjBVm
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45CgqNYIN
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OaFRRY9W8
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrn535F8af
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvWhhCXwwz
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC9SH9MBKe
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCikAhP1dKv
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp1ZkWzqiA
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡces3HBMj2e
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKhyemlIc9
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEEIKRpVzM
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL4FTcZeXo
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzdpJa5byV
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdSkaEIoH
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeOIpAZKvZ
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbUBIFQYpI
this manner the five-warrior tradition.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE03ixMYXB
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3JDAKjjB
royal court pointed out.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HmugGGZyE
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpwgyrht6
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOdqEhrJs5
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gn91TuHHN
taking place during all this time.
