“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.
