“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ1pRHPF4m
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJcBHl51A
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vAgjIMJji
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7UkxECGzj
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGMNLAbeMR
first took the throne.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDXtAhI0DN
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEKjsL31e
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6OLinVN5A
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVUt8H1wrK
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aF5y7Nfjs
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPuUelCWM2
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNGbM6XmUm
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUIOGsxuQE
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW1Ji1AtQN
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMFL2yuPag
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGwFYpvz78
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kHx00osJ7
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxIWXSpkFf
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK7HOt2uz1
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzksfBl7Nzn
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPujeJdTSB
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxnh20YIH
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYElfB3xcU2
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL7v2TuS6O
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbutT52vHsO
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlwfLZkzPN
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKgcusxFpY
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccGmKbh7NS
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOToOmGIX6E
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gl1h1UV4k
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNfW61ORhJ
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNotbXUhQ4a
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTK40GUusm
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppyYv7LHGk
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ7ilCfMuC
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmImx7ujWp
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscS05F9pSU
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4Fxbg7kQ
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHQZfQ4S0e
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYE8VY8DMf
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChM3YBsiy
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm6axacYR1
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MzFQ6czo3
this manner the five-warrior tradition.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfE87VEii
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhfu0tuGkG
royal court pointed out.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDsQl24BsL
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld5UUJGK0i
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbTuLTNPqz
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6438v1mNp
taking place during all this time.
