“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH3n9321oJ
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOoISO8w2F
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpEHnWlpaE
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzbrohvG7H
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa3JBiysOf
first took the throne.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryZHjECzO
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuPSsHpZ3x
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJvgUhVCpM
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGH6EaPwXB
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoY2Z9mZDy
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6trgxlihKs
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfmI0WWoDj
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LiURDeWcM
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IGhY5yPoh
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkyKwuAiVH
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX1hxwzc9C
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft03gdz6i1
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EIa8n1cv3
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mqYaWiw2O
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CgDzax1v7
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAosPYiDxm
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUyEGBEkdU
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOomiq1rUK
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJsVK7TSC
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHReLKXGbr
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YiEgdGdTF
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbOq3GYZ9L
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGUnG3fF3m
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FHCLaGssY
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLnSvcdn6G
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrlMpE9860
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmw77RYeH
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXyfq3SEvO
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQreM8bfHdZ
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrpXCBpLp2
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjixb52yipA
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZaSGIwWOt
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2xWkjLcmU
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEFTOm5ugh
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW227CSRiy
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBZK9j1GaT
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLE1L9Yez8
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE1lBJbYRw
this manner the five-warrior tradition.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O8c1kVB1q
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxpKF6zxs8
royal court pointed out.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw19AdmkD2
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvtrdqKc3T
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXY7uCJ2Yg
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBLFLE0dnF
taking place during all this time.
