“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RCXcdJwq8
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezEtFllk5
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMy8cOHIk6
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3wfRgRx9
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETPVx2JR8r
first took the throne.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o94AK2dBD
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlplAoWqi5X
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilwVUeem8
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGCuVJv2OU
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVrg8uBqwD
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvovzB1BjT
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHlksHzaUx
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtsPBCd43K
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL2Yc9x41b
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbSJUJDSpe
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGanPKObMr
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtRUWzm8f8
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRldgfHYlHr
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH6s2nVw1P
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnFoeTmIc
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XiplbvDyp
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jxt4ccipb
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8ulEZgrM
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxHOdC6Gx3
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkrj0tu7P6
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKkDh74ApR
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB76ek678i
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLJfIgecx
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eLDaT4zyC
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJZnaj070b
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtFPhUu2T
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYFfIKMvO9
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cSSoBo6UR
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNwGI7s4pE
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphUmtD8feb
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxwb4BryFa
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlb9iRkFGi
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQKVdJmMHK
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcU88ysEo
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91MKQpg5P3
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjTdoFlDR2
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlRxyAgpUu
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX60Fp0WGri
this manner the five-warrior tradition.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrD2qM0sU2
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOnET3hP6
royal court pointed out.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOIcoKR3Lr
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX34PPqsOTg
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXH5NKXqLh
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLsg5P4fsP
taking place during all this time.
