“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
103Please respect copyright.PENANATCFadIvHHs
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the103Please respect copyright.PENANA2L1rvEhDhI
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly103Please respect copyright.PENANA77U3uupu2S
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of103Please respect copyright.PENANAV4HBe2PFWW
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies103Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ppMaz6ge
first took the throne.103Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwWu9kAj0
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.103Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZWMLRMPnC
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible103Please respect copyright.PENANAMOlOMLLMAG
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by103Please respect copyright.PENANAgFsaC9KrDg
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and103Please respect copyright.PENANAExG5zzf1Oi
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for103Please respect copyright.PENANACLiDXt2s54
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about103Please respect copyright.PENANAsYiYDTCSzg
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the103Please respect copyright.PENANAOEnzCllYHB
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra103Please respect copyright.PENANA7BA2qjriqm
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital103Please respect copyright.PENANAP48jTv4Lfi
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.103Please respect copyright.PENANABy30NLkuBe
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more103Please respect copyright.PENANApOqjBbXUca
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.103Please respect copyright.PENANAhLqQz75r5f
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies103Please respect copyright.PENANAQngp6CDTzQ
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow103Please respect copyright.PENANARWfr9Xe7Zd
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.103Please respect copyright.PENANA3XIAFGkl3z
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else103Please respect copyright.PENANA0bQf4Tzeji
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the103Please respect copyright.PENANAENwRb3obX3
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery103Please respect copyright.PENANAZqADccz7FV
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds103Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8Z3v7vmG
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.103Please respect copyright.PENANAgePhpeoN06
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly103Please respect copyright.PENANAR8nFabMxAh
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the103Please respect copyright.PENANAsWAb1AZXBZ
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand103Please respect copyright.PENANAo5YjRzMmbg
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this103Please respect copyright.PENANAhH5mTvxPrj
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out103Please respect copyright.PENANA7l0FzqDbPl
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.103Please respect copyright.PENANAIBm0lC4SO0
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the103Please respect copyright.PENANAnaxL746wHe
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and103Please respect copyright.PENANAPp0GGdaXCL
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,103Please respect copyright.PENANAbaiXh7ZgdI
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,103Please respect copyright.PENANA7oanOvkbO8
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had103Please respect copyright.PENANA1MnaGc48Je
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in103Please respect copyright.PENANAPgOX4xSooE
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?103Please respect copyright.PENANA65tCCcHlnh
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.103Please respect copyright.PENANAXbR1Oxvr03
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital103Please respect copyright.PENANAB4FF2zpcIl
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits103Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ThoCcZb2
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in103Please respect copyright.PENANAmRDlGPBGgb
this manner the five-warrior tradition.103Please respect copyright.PENANARswSX08khP
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the103Please respect copyright.PENANArl3Di6zMOH
royal court pointed out.103Please respect copyright.PENANAZlIg6ySYmH
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group103Please respect copyright.PENANAot6x2HTpd9
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.103Please respect copyright.PENANAf5r1XzYgEY
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever103Please respect copyright.PENANAxaU5KPp0bh
taking place during all this time.
