“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLaqclajQ
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtsggMfjdi
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nh5ESqaNo
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYj2y3Buk2
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8zlaVIvS7
first took the throne.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyinUVNWfJ
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEra8zHtfQc
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Opcoh7Cu
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCTZvMbCMu
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0OnFAg21M
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc4OCVMgPu
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQGWUffXiV
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOD1PBPKOn
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyjNy2uU5L
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VitCdBn7
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7eXuz3II0
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cOWUqhTE
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4HqphrTrW
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9vGnbdKw
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1BTNSFl0
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjtn809in5
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84iXbSZOrn
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo5WCutd1o
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIhLT6B2Ce
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNixR4XzQx
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFcw5OA24
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuP13TnNwS
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnYLegVdbf
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbgIz0MTr
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8q4c87hJn
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Yqx5LHfY
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoW8OMJIzt
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizd2JL0ZBW
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH65h1ICu7
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGMH5pOkL
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNAvRd1NDX
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBALkpVpbCf
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E2q8tFWWE
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQReCj3sh
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaYorl5upD
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRahb3WCpD
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzARqvPWIWA
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07DbrtRdxK
this manner the five-warrior tradition.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmdjy1MwB
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMT3Clqfnp
royal court pointed out.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvA0sxmTjl
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GRQWoWlm
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0FQTUjba
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAhRkrveUk
taking place during all this time.
