“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV44pEnlJP
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcMHM0yB6Z
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyW9X8ZboM
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IKf3Fszf0
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuHCQnKjEE
first took the throne.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0moqGfG9om
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvi4ervK7
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh6es3WL0W
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr29IYijHR
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQgk0oOmg
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFv8RvGqmd
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjFVER1x9y
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgcW7f2qAH
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi8SRkiQpj
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3du4tPvQR
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpXloXfYsE
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3P6S7sCHy
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAulVG49gq
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJun1Oa5ZzS
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8qRW4e4c
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyJEnkz6bz
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMB03feSht
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GAUzjXRgD
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Oqi6aQuF
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArOM5cygq
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9SOhjxZwh
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ396ht8uQe0
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq2UsMpMVY
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMfanUkAAR
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Zoizsais
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQzP8spzwo
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmtrLfcN1u
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hkIRW94Qu
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhHOTXEczN
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiBvWNOE4G
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLofQhuIsSP
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk51ZIMDHe
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUGHUB0j23
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qd0CY40ip
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSDPZPukvV
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTytF9kBkO
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlItl2KZF0
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz6GvNv08h
this manner the five-warrior tradition.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVDHvMn7L
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc8O5Ucdtd
royal court pointed out.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcyn9PJn7o
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjolfpE6btg
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoNb5jcp7v
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKcX4EJXyd
taking place during all this time.
