“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Iih0nT0U
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYjN7wc0oY
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjvVD0ycL
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvkyZivwkE
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7vDKZlnA
first took the throne.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoIapFGubT
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTPqlaJgEA
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt0p118L20
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0Sbw0tAJ
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxEvrsULbZ
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bn9ySkQQ3
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpT8BUH9qZ
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVhs2TQV3a
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGardaiaW6
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QXXohZsKn
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTJUn5QvXs
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn73qGb9A3e
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoV9LDqQuf
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjSrYjWMu
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffGMsMUgc8
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqwSrdxGYG
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8SfqI16HY
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29uw25WA6T
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kBLmtx8Hi
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uaWSEDKH5
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfYl2mX6BQ
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcnw6GkLLb
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG2DRUHAVN
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7uaN4SG8
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNIAcqryGd
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVV0O07koq
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvmGX8n3VG
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAC9Xecs25
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfYqp4l3GM
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfDHrySift
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxDIiwcZOj
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjwsqz5I4G
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB4ymGmTNu
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfnIZHp7YG
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARFPWCcPVj
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUxB3KhChs
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3a5hZ6Bxh
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GIdn6EJyD
this manner the five-warrior tradition.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIKjQfMuVX
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIQWavBsLb
royal court pointed out.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI4Rk1F3qN
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezJ67Q4CQx
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbD46iDe61
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mIyNnXVFc
taking place during all this time.
