“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
406Please respect copyright.PENANABNXW2RiUhJ
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the406Please respect copyright.PENANAC7gvJI8x4E
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly406Please respect copyright.PENANAfWBdl03Mxb
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of406Please respect copyright.PENANAWjKjKGGpuX
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies406Please respect copyright.PENANAeQfibOTsd4
first took the throne.406Please respect copyright.PENANABuluQXL6r8
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.406Please respect copyright.PENANAh9ihzkcCCB
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible406Please respect copyright.PENANAguOmzTdMUJ
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by406Please respect copyright.PENANAPPo7Way71w
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and406Please respect copyright.PENANAfiTgYJROBY
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for406Please respect copyright.PENANAJ84JjXCR8O
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about406Please respect copyright.PENANAjaUbTOu1oG
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the406Please respect copyright.PENANA7IUkIf9FTB
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra406Please respect copyright.PENANAmq7aFt1sep
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital406Please respect copyright.PENANA2mH3SwssQE
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.406Please respect copyright.PENANA4UXGnvLbGY
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more406Please respect copyright.PENANAvAes77xc00
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.406Please respect copyright.PENANAFC26fiEhHp
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies406Please respect copyright.PENANAesBt1goTm6
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow406Please respect copyright.PENANAkMa9BEMIAF
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.406Please respect copyright.PENANAu6T8eUls38
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else406Please respect copyright.PENANAPRAheJzXyh
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the406Please respect copyright.PENANAKAz642VeWB
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery406Please respect copyright.PENANAdwdiKfkFCS
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds406Please respect copyright.PENANAQL1FSrvIE8
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.406Please respect copyright.PENANA6mk18mkoqU
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly406Please respect copyright.PENANAq5dUedTUzb
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the406Please respect copyright.PENANAG5WNUqUjAr
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand406Please respect copyright.PENANA6xj6KUZBhk
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this406Please respect copyright.PENANAVaXs3wGbzh
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out406Please respect copyright.PENANALVhNOgpw6X
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.406Please respect copyright.PENANA9tlGloGNkk
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the406Please respect copyright.PENANAF9YFhb4qWT
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and406Please respect copyright.PENANAOtYEhT274n
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,406Please respect copyright.PENANAYYSj4OxqtP
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,406Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ8aFfwMQq
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had406Please respect copyright.PENANAphoOYSHuSP
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in406Please respect copyright.PENANAPUW048RaYe
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?406Please respect copyright.PENANAgfyayuJ18C
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.406Please respect copyright.PENANAktO4k2KIcz
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital406Please respect copyright.PENANA3zpHPEENgr
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits406Please respect copyright.PENANAtoviS9gr0h
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in406Please respect copyright.PENANAqDHH1jEurE
this manner the five-warrior tradition.406Please respect copyright.PENANAGBLfQUP9qK
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the406Please respect copyright.PENANAp3CktgtOEd
royal court pointed out.406Please respect copyright.PENANAqK1DX8OqPY
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group406Please respect copyright.PENANAz8JdLwavcp
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.406Please respect copyright.PENANAiInnO3DKCh
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever406Please respect copyright.PENANAfnLXhryAqC
taking place during all this time.
