“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6DpqAEZV0
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vGw6Qu3rv
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0auHgj3F5T
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo8Pkc6e0d
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLYGGzZhag
first took the throne.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuurmiDyR3
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64hOh8YZKG
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdChYR7sHEO
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEdiDr1hOI
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf96fSh3lD
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQymedWbQ5x
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPexLLFH7N
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8oYmpz6Q9
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wlzUnGf9
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc2rPuwE4R
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRcZXc5uGa
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfJRiuiWUR
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozG2KYwwDu
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpd1DypW26
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0X0h3ds0B
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwtTFZjI9f
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHeVeYorHw
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNySbFzCpuU
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdTy8B9SQE
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZN47Dki67
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50OBRBZr98
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX4DcgoQjN
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCL4HEmxl3
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kCMp39Oov
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oVpyD6PK
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi1Bcg333j
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVCTXiBKyR
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VfPQhTOLS
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKH5oJBjD
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJffIFxdnmD
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjSi3AsQ6E
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkFamQNQKz
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpRZtGwLm
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw06FSfLMwm
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax7CPiu6Z7
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ34AkMmA2n
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxybyotp28
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyAc0I6eH3
this manner the five-warrior tradition.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLmbHsc8pp
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV4ME5rQk0
royal court pointed out.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVki3oE4Tv
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRwxnA2H6c
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJZUIiVUp
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYy54SU0YO
taking place during all this time.
