“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC1xdGWTPk
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡues4u82dt0
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBdk3fT9Rs
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PE6j6mZn0
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCIspjl7yo
first took the throne.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEw9h24ehx
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fcea6udHO
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z4dviFVIU
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Hs3aXB2o
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoktwTOXeG9
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnddvgxixRI
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIiqWfwrjD
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIj9ldbuIE
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaQ1hhG09
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnrNC4bsBT
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbsfocC3Z6
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfMA3JsYnm
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIJw8JHap
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ9YB7wWNW
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaOmymec8A
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1oi4rTsGL
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo2mrEmceE
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnznGSNyIV
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91OH9lXzz
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTaNRaBf05
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MVq3tkZWv
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWRTxKliUw
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j9w9mrlhh
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CmvWtViVt
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmowOEumBC
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFULJjWgTS4
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs2AIvzpDp
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmtBWyIOLG
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6QyRdPMj8
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEjDhkxQ9
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QcuhGyhaS
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDnnSHMiy0
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ629HeuhX7i
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW4YUltyQ9
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dPGJ1nRJF
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMKIUVq06V
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HpJOq8VSO
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaf85csZma
this manner the five-warrior tradition.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PGXqZQo5N
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpESfsP7eXQ
royal court pointed out.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGPUmTyx6O
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpbjLMsN7Z
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPckTgEzJOg
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtS1RLmw5
taking place during all this time.
