“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM6EQZmrtY
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8e7i4HZp
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwpOxWwsq
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4WRnQ1hO1
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOUUhenUZi
first took the throne.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpbRtMynSj
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AevmpYtYO
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9OcTkIhCV
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS27wIF96Y
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRUGnvMHfl
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp1irpXNl3
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdOOX0f6YU
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9l4iCwHS
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfC4D9e0g
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk5y9qfKJj
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvj9C5A6x
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOdJOR3hXG
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lfwafmfsW
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSj3OL03yc
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ6UqRbGIN
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3XFYSVE4M
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPg4zY6d6
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWydgGFJHnQ
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUj6lWxHQ0
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe15TexK9CU
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06rqBcLR2
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nP5DXvtL
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqKaTbAFki
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrs88JI0tK
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMTz9BnCpr
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCreAdANN9W
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOVQ9Rszn6
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuEvNNDxV
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZD6PonEAQ
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqjVDzmmw
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc47BBDcGa
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hAqq00kZj
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJclTO4hHgf
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp2XJXGRd1
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOSig66yrZ
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjt5CiU2vr
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ltwDmR1t
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzMx97hZgD
this manner the five-warrior tradition.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDj9VUhuDL
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK198bmhCg
royal court pointed out.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DO797TZnZ
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIPgtq2u7J
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6F2qzteNP
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GP8kn1o4f
taking place during all this time.
