“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudhfDzkma3
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHwi5fcNUm
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70LefOYLq
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0lbausOCh
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCczPBTHr7s
first took the throne.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ859qD4x6ou
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGjJYJxV7p
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Eh1zqbpj
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FhvqRci0
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ea8yYM3AH
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5eLpGrceF
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUqFaTaqfs
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJ3kRFYwh
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVkr8diTUd
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB6TQUnJGL
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1tIdqB0o
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnJiwTPGdy
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikRa3XirGs
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrudkws6ilH
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Eqh5mLys
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Sexx8VPh
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1mxhGaWVS
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZNbWVVks
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNNWFCX7JR
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD893GWuNs3
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquMBULQbKo
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssThvn9MN
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllqioUFBfD
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHUgo2U5kI
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxQ2Gwupra
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY7p3RyPo2
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDuKsSOUB
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo9xN3ki8l
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlx6h1GOEd
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhOXjIH3sw
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJnfv8DpR4
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQISQXylowE
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBKe4HRVw5
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ie504meZn
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxaXcUsYUD
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD60jOxTIUf
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqRtkoLxnQ
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwIak0vNAR
this manner the five-warrior tradition.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYYuoCU46v
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMhsrK0oY
royal court pointed out.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY23de9AkY
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYp5jn9SdF
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmqKMOjt3
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpODNde39J
taking place during all this time.
