“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCiLrkh59s
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocEeM1GRsH
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctKI9gAUah
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPxDwxIAtQ
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyTtAZGC8e
first took the throne.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y1OKJiQzq
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEQpGGyj6g
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoGbTMDpZw
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd88p1FWU8
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KtU3FAwXo
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UWPf8XtX
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yjVCMgw4U
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0RkN2ESHD
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu3WegsP8V
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmspRSTns2
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3AZ3fkE8e
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wDq4jJIbO
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QaEkNvP78
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v6i1wC6aM
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQKAjcbgU
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHGYfoaZ3U
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdI6uHucI8
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEIuoCWK7m
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtOQxc6ixV
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtZrPznUqr
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1nyQaHbl
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQZrD5pNd
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTfoEsVet0
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8xz4KiL9y
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UeDQvZuN3
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjRf0gzhie
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BKHesGPdb
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcXtUCaaxN
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPAz2YgkQ6
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KM08OnwiJ
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MEsXsrZ0B
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOlMaTLXxM
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV17eaKcEX
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvBEtPfnok
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcusUz9sNu
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbEzHIHDYs
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TlR0oiSDg
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbO3Rn27Rn
this manner the five-warrior tradition.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCI0Ozofju
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIh5Tt4Uml
royal court pointed out.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6l9YVbkC5
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TTqnKX6Zo
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXQfKSB5c9
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KFLcKmDOx
taking place during all this time.
