“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySfHzDPLWS
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOESqwKTHm9
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqgi3UHprB
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ewDhKwAQx
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd6VFjObm5
first took the throne.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGQMjeeD0
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk6QdusI6F
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgay9PWiEr
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlhR8Sd8Px
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoomfiAAQ87
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExUr5ihUIo
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDHHZW7DT
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hJDqfy3pv
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVbfXnZWJ
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzsnntOeV
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1nrebe2od
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1r9qNURxS
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMQVXXSzKU
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQfTqijbeK
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0b2IqPPX
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1zYKuyiU
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGbZwCEo5U
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1K4FnBGUa
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IzOV2eBlx
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zqCe5rwmd
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04FkBnLQM
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY17behTVB
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyclxfhZItm
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQvoPYQmuX
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6uYZVS8qf
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbB7qbtIZ5
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIO3rd78c2
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVFARx18gx
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysnrdhYoQm
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5T3ex31z
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVhub9pq7g
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiffQqARFjo
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRtu1L9HYK
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshIY3MZ9S
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgKEIapmf
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45zLFSpoNw
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM37qEgXIr
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh1v4Dsgsx
this manner the five-warrior tradition.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIJW4xZwlQ
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiN5SfpgCS
royal court pointed out.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRZltlz2gr
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ana4dkJob
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0X3Amym6N
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFtSUhnR68
taking place during all this time.
