“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOscgfnEjPx
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRO0oAKm8
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqzMslu3JF
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXturAFGBg
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbDqxHwINX
first took the throne.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a8mxYQxGz
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh96OiR89jm
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssSIaVDoxR
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrmWTCMe6t
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRp04P0Kq
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiWastWIoh
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7KKBZNV19
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tWtD8AmzQ
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm7orpxhw9
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw75sYSOFzK
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUt4WHzYb5
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtVZnQqlb
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdvY7fw2ey
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyXnktV5eE
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuTeLXHXvn
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0c9nJdgGT
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwJhrNl5fi
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfBIRdMR2l
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQiIr4HKeD
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jOW88Xi19
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSnnhBWS1Q
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VSWAFzUlw
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u1Bkz0UKF
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwiTXvrZGL
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTgOOgrOKo
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDHzXWioc0
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Ckg7Z9xB
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pPUk1PFGE
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWqxwtyRe
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA8bJgMnHB
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lstecv6hJ
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h2owDohzD
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5kCpllAk
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ2jEmVj8U
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywN3Eopaj3
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QXGy7yrge
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQWYlKtWax
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK36mGRUZd
this manner the five-warrior tradition.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdZ6SFOziD
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhc5W7SywO
royal court pointed out.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM0g1aFz3S
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9egIruaJzU
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfT4kWZRyn
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTZK3iXoM2
taking place during all this time.
