“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm1hkVBSMd
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIYOVGuqAH
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h8Skz6PkL
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bMIMJVret
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQnDmo442
first took the throne.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KVa4oyNbI
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumgVNuRAtO
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J0mEyT6uW
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuikcdb0pGr
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKRDw8Hwt5
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp4wX1Hwdg
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrz9RcufQm
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSAagVKnVq
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfxkJmvT37
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtG0ztoLlU
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvg3LpUXUa
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C7gY1OjJU
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgY0L4LlQa
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7BMUeJEFc
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrONGbMVOf
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5GK3hAQFk
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zOzjqVR7o
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kaAiSqyY
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx74fGAXbU
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4bsobRjMY
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zRaumEC0
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcxYroAvRN
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlriAlYmvd2
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdBKuKE5IT
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9hWp3mXKY
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7RayNwvZ
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8RHkpawN
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJpSTJI8e7
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ptIxhV2Xr
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQvx4HPs9U
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7yw1K9tm
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofS36Tb7UO
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBRECW6zf
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vP2hFZpZ
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGzhVVlXTw
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1GDE4PdJw
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0HuhRUNnd
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmuU1Eavx5
this manner the five-warrior tradition.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz8LeStKf4
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZMkO12ZJw
royal court pointed out.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIRdjimw0D
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CqxiVlBfk
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcmNTSJIrX
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXhegdXNK2
taking place during all this time.
