“The Five Fingers of Hervies”

Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfMJoDjfhS
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZkvmtUzEu
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gazNZNZk4
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGksXUKMwl
first took the throne.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU40hN736j
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xvXZRblPO
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhIk6knCVL
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3k6QTDVeS
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOenr8ZfyJ
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOrr0NWDM
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdTrDZaOEs
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5Dd7vrbBJ
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OcB82UxiN
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd6BVyIvRb
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05yie73LfC
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5afZHvING0
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB7Lfd9w1b
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxXRW0Z078
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GcuWwqs73
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6a6GWe3LQ
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS55zkIJUqm
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYFRvdoBA2
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlFDmam60g
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4sWH9GMJU
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwWhKa4Err
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsP3II6Mkg
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZzqp5U7d
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAug2K7c2P8
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZ8CkTkrh
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fsYDT0fEk
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD74nfoWIqU
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKNQzMeaWN
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlvEOtlQK
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IHl5XjdHu
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwoUg6QIyj
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcO0oXq9Ru
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSfmXsGCeG
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A6b2HRaal
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs2bul5H4G
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H6Y1E2UDw
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHizc9wG6O
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEk7jyIBxm
this manner the five-warrior tradition.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYwLyBgjfF
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkYfie2XOv
royal court pointed out.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklQTaPo5wy
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCtNP3dzSA
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuJXu6pNmW
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDozBKKuBXE
taking place during all this time.
