“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY6RNn0wGR
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrVxjWDn7M
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDBefnBaZw
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuBwl5anlH
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Onke4OoG
first took the throne.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF0tyr7dFv
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5LWma4XLa
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rCTIKWGko
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cjrgZjlwG
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNsYO5Ru9b
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc8j9AgpV3
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziREbpFWrY
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQMmvKjSG3
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeOrtxDftl
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAP6hldFR2
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyQeGHJhoc
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ko9tYVGC3
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl5V6WZxZi
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KICvsxjkH
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlWWi2M1vM
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjThcijBgP8
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ml1Mikyaf
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2feaxQgR
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxGp6ttXzz
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbSUele0I
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYct6z6mB71
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0rWQ5YZJo
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNYe3FbDgH
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnlchfZKTe
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNxUPVC80Q
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehpfvisLxe
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOM6avWht
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzPhuWJmDj
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKbp17XrRL
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyMQgEX6Tk
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKtjEviOV
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeZEbFeVZq
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeRuFoNEZF
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaQ2hvKHaA
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ikrqyQlq
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkqftbM91M
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvze8czdI2s
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPL3mkrPPX
this manner the five-warrior tradition.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRdhcmFejg
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzJSzrGw3M
royal court pointed out.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfkmsyLDA6
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoAjoJpB36
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6JssWEBVd
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbsf16qO8L
taking place during all this time.
