“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
367Please respect copyright.PENANAqNfXqg3yv1
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the367Please respect copyright.PENANAKRRBRq7cV3
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly367Please respect copyright.PENANAPSLXyxS3xe
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of367Please respect copyright.PENANAA7XMyVxkr2
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies367Please respect copyright.PENANAN2YtUFWMsL
first took the throne.367Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yk174mHf5
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.367Please respect copyright.PENANAzTXk85y0dz
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible367Please respect copyright.PENANAcsjxegce6A
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by367Please respect copyright.PENANAhe0ALxp3X9
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and367Please respect copyright.PENANACrIMMn6hP8
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for367Please respect copyright.PENANATAoZgGOiw6
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about367Please respect copyright.PENANAzavmA0myT4
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the367Please respect copyright.PENANADSKBCDdCWc
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra367Please respect copyright.PENANAdBxO0f3bC0
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital367Please respect copyright.PENANAYg207rnzIa
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.367Please respect copyright.PENANAJhUgRlSMqf
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more367Please respect copyright.PENANAPu7Cr9PMBU
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.367Please respect copyright.PENANAgCajuFlPHb
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies367Please respect copyright.PENANAMABodxPBri
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow367Please respect copyright.PENANADfuWBkCaxj
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.367Please respect copyright.PENANA9J2RLNGuL5
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else367Please respect copyright.PENANAXURYHXOPTI
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the367Please respect copyright.PENANA9vsuLPb9k8
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery367Please respect copyright.PENANA83MdVZhSv5
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds367Please respect copyright.PENANAFwC0gME1vw
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.367Please respect copyright.PENANAho4GMj4kCd
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly367Please respect copyright.PENANA90LOoyrLRx
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the367Please respect copyright.PENANAINcXE0yQNm
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand367Please respect copyright.PENANArou8qXFITx
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this367Please respect copyright.PENANApbfhKcVdZv
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out367Please respect copyright.PENANAM0iuh5wIyN
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.367Please respect copyright.PENANAwKk9LyNZQr
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the367Please respect copyright.PENANA8UO3c8UBR8
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and367Please respect copyright.PENANAXVbawREa5i
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,367Please respect copyright.PENANADCncuDNNNe
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,367Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y8thnWpg9
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had367Please respect copyright.PENANA7VpG45oBqk
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in367Please respect copyright.PENANAKZZ8ULndxA
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?367Please respect copyright.PENANAiKe60CDC2J
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.367Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vr49xxCJj
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital367Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6lXr405SP
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits367Please respect copyright.PENANAyoDr9iYmKh
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in367Please respect copyright.PENANAi8QGQI3Bfh
this manner the five-warrior tradition.367Please respect copyright.PENANALRvFyeSNpb
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the367Please respect copyright.PENANAI2MGCnzPU7
royal court pointed out.367Please respect copyright.PENANAvj7ZTnfSCn
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group367Please respect copyright.PENANAi2HCFZRl8H
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.367Please respect copyright.PENANADJbAzzp9Tx
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever367Please respect copyright.PENANACkqu2aT3ys
taking place during all this time.
