“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cQHqyCQev
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDVzjh5X7A
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDiSP99pAx
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBDYgzcMf
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOu1aSXuEf
first took the throne.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL5eUZNvgv
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Brr3MJiIc
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZov2FtIkg8
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnntDcJvLP
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI5aH9N8i5
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ZdnqWwad
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7hJsrYse6
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqw61yXvyQ
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OHijEKqf
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95hBzzU4Qs
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaS707niuZ
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkqrcEgth
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhfJjR4D0D
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOpOvtXNp
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1tIjjShuq
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZymkrdgD
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ST2YXGPVq
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4W2bj5a3z
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ05MlNn0g
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37C4TXiky4
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH4PRjhsBp
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AZaWjKV8d
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TMrNnrMcd
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfWtCvhlrg
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEsZ86nab4
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8E4qSCZyw
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdphRW4d7wk
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YpNtg4UL5
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTe8KrjgG
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKXG4xCgDG
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqip3CV27TF
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT6uYDPXRs
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNeEkW1yZg
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAuXCuaC8M
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1ekwfzONU
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4GwVVFFZH
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0ipReySwi
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEPu2ckblP
this manner the five-warrior tradition.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRCVdzF5p6
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ790bQUJc4G
royal court pointed out.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjiWpEXzjW
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWKbZBaBQ
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0v2KIJgi
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever392Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoPK8U4Y6Q
taking place during all this time.
