“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoqPgToPYw
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOn8QHxGlN
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP81Yg67UzM
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h888fyWBs
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLasSivJ0DP
first took the throne.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs9I3PLpl7
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70kNvbM7cq
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe8TTYIFrM
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBhksZgP3W
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoJd6Qj95I
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuUGZQkngH
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94BaLyYb6Y
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJy6vFMZS4
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itrybiTsw
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAbLLAkJNx
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3zs7uotw
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK4tGSm7nd
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2QBQNVGol
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U7JF2OPAk
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzOzUvS2Py
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaiOCxQEmf
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOOJmAC1f9
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1FYWt50a
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYNwYiOCn4
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4I94NbcRK
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTPnaqB3UH
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVy0oloz1w
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QRomzKKfk
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMLFODz2Iy
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCgcHol1Nc
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qRDISHcx2
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qRh0yUYCg
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RDMkpwaAo
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgIOf1ovvF
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzb5i9aJvn
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9SU16Kcgr
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjDmRC9gwr
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTWT9n8dZD
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkd7kY7Te5
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2VcdNNCNd
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdKOJ922nZ
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrarOn5NaGa
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7YolGjcZH
this manner the five-warrior tradition.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvMU1SS3Lb
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vgueXIUSQ
royal court pointed out.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjqvi1fhvf
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCqtEOIZC8
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddAh0uOnXe
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1o4FgKeVb
taking place during all this time.
