“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZyLxWHdu6
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gzTtq6Tv6
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkMxqurw4z
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZOqqqYSu
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9upGvvFAFE
first took the throne.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweMBkBFCwp
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q4qmTue3P
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00veCGZZbo
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseLgLWPU6N
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrmsGYy86W
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk31B4xILe
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO28HNFxkyT
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2gwrfKhxH
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SSR66T9e3
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fkWgrnwpc
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep27PFP66g
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxsnDxDYxe
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZafUoARS1
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLMs9d98fi
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M3RuwNvVC
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMloK2Myfa
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVIENsxzx0
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcKQQ732Ib
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBswfORp65Z
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchbaNSjBNS
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzr9RuoqAJ
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTxtddlFuX
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0f5rvEgb
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXlpZ7n7Er
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqpdpp2iuH
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTEb23UFOb
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9i8Rqgv34
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Y7XCGIj2
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxsKZsKdvj
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5uulNAVw8
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKYXsrjJym
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRNS5kSk0f
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBcyJZcpJv
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQGhAvRBo3
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcAnMjfuSQ
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbAmAl1nYR
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kwGIkHiCK
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDIZNB3Xwd
this manner the five-warrior tradition.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ETrnAtsK
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojlyCD21mZ
royal court pointed out.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo6igDbWPz
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QT1ehuK4I
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VAjQFsf46
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgaSYYxZwW
taking place during all this time.
