“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
81Please respect copyright.PENANAOwnBDWfDbF
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the81Please respect copyright.PENANA9ARtE6sgYQ
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly81Please respect copyright.PENANAP2d3vE34ZG
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of81Please respect copyright.PENANAsp97nT5Ido
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies81Please respect copyright.PENANAIknKb2BEA0
first took the throne.81Please respect copyright.PENANA9KeMFqbTq8
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.81Please respect copyright.PENANAhTNl2G68JN
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible81Please respect copyright.PENANAF4LpkKg2RF
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by81Please respect copyright.PENANA5de0EGUNOb
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and81Please respect copyright.PENANA6aBOMkyKgn
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for81Please respect copyright.PENANAVPYcWqvWiS
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about81Please respect copyright.PENANAV2cjW07HNG
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the81Please respect copyright.PENANALrOyjbcOcf
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra81Please respect copyright.PENANAXCKE4spCtJ
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital81Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZG4YOVs1i
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.81Please respect copyright.PENANApZvFilmkj3
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more81Please respect copyright.PENANAsDY5uF1Uf1
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.81Please respect copyright.PENANARVDBSC5ZQk
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies81Please respect copyright.PENANAhR028jzun3
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow81Please respect copyright.PENANAIS614ZqIUA
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.81Please respect copyright.PENANAC69hOMqT6q
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else81Please respect copyright.PENANA7mKrcVxMR4
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the81Please respect copyright.PENANADnX3S03KAJ
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery81Please respect copyright.PENANA5fGJz1VNcR
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds81Please respect copyright.PENANAYymJi15BXd
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.81Please respect copyright.PENANA8wrewdTiUQ
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly81Please respect copyright.PENANAwXfZ1e0lHy
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the81Please respect copyright.PENANAOg0x6JTtqd
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand81Please respect copyright.PENANAsiu66GTgNC
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this81Please respect copyright.PENANAoJlAsFVAhC
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out81Please respect copyright.PENANAhYB0qotjUB
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.81Please respect copyright.PENANAjqjRY5XIxP
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the81Please respect copyright.PENANAG4dinQH7ut
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and81Please respect copyright.PENANADz1Hh58ROV
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,81Please respect copyright.PENANAh9yoGgqaef
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,81Please respect copyright.PENANASuKbzMXhYf
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had81Please respect copyright.PENANAmt5JQHvDUk
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in81Please respect copyright.PENANAmEbtzlLISj
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?81Please respect copyright.PENANAn6WT4k43In
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.81Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ4ymAfpTw
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital81Please respect copyright.PENANAqA9Ks9SMgw
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits81Please respect copyright.PENANA436nLlWq2u
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in81Please respect copyright.PENANA0yjFFDHIss
this manner the five-warrior tradition.81Please respect copyright.PENANASWUYdgWmOy
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the81Please respect copyright.PENANAKJwEVio6X6
royal court pointed out.81Please respect copyright.PENANAwM7aQw9N65
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group81Please respect copyright.PENANAsVtybPx5zY
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.81Please respect copyright.PENANA4AKNCr5Iz3
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever81Please respect copyright.PENANAgltng1RBKM
taking place during all this time.
