“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzdvHLZdly9
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the426Please respect copyright.PENANA2dQmeUXLTp
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly426Please respect copyright.PENANAg3fh7LAGGc
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of426Please respect copyright.PENANAOWKPawWAF7
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies426Please respect copyright.PENANA2PAbFskJyM
first took the throne.426Please respect copyright.PENANA3WVVscbU5A
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.426Please respect copyright.PENANAbjQOAO7oJI
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible426Please respect copyright.PENANAC7pT9uWCir
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by426Please respect copyright.PENANA6vfZeAJ6MR
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and426Please respect copyright.PENANAdD7nIqgMWC
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for426Please respect copyright.PENANAHOVV1iNBKp
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about426Please respect copyright.PENANAMDVLu93Ltc
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the426Please respect copyright.PENANAfrzqKeFayP
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra426Please respect copyright.PENANAlyJcH5MIoY
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital426Please respect copyright.PENANAMSGSkij3TW
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.426Please respect copyright.PENANA0OSbH8hXOu
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more426Please respect copyright.PENANAuu7ejCUgmM
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.426Please respect copyright.PENANAT7NuLIv8sy
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies426Please respect copyright.PENANAQJvteCa21G
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow426Please respect copyright.PENANAEbjbpSUHhl
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.426Please respect copyright.PENANA51g5pfCE8g
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else426Please respect copyright.PENANAwCfIehMVot
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the426Please respect copyright.PENANA5wG9U8sgRl
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery426Please respect copyright.PENANAFpv9fvakMs
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds426Please respect copyright.PENANAKRYXHgIpSf
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.426Please respect copyright.PENANA7RGl3ErppE
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly426Please respect copyright.PENANAE5emcr0eGF
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the426Please respect copyright.PENANAsRPNi2MUdQ
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand426Please respect copyright.PENANAjJSwTb6e8D
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this426Please respect copyright.PENANAb1hN7w1ezp
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out426Please respect copyright.PENANAULkVbZfUMR
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.426Please respect copyright.PENANAeWzyECeSyV
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the426Please respect copyright.PENANAOcBgybPGeF
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and426Please respect copyright.PENANAakqtyVisFL
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,426Please respect copyright.PENANA8ftgqOtmfA
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,426Please respect copyright.PENANAHRgXYHbT0G
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had426Please respect copyright.PENANAGsMtgDB5zc
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in426Please respect copyright.PENANA0fepiBHZvl
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?426Please respect copyright.PENANAwVZ7tWHNKG
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.426Please respect copyright.PENANAWIycU3OCRt
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital426Please respect copyright.PENANAoGXrGMfCWX
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits426Please respect copyright.PENANAeQv8wOdofu
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in426Please respect copyright.PENANAcON1fbJBTw
this manner the five-warrior tradition.426Please respect copyright.PENANAWyva2vcQPK
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the426Please respect copyright.PENANAAxpB7k0HyT
royal court pointed out.426Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8HeZYD3JX
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group426Please respect copyright.PENANAv5ey6sb75u
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.426Please respect copyright.PENANAjPDmOGH9oC
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever426Please respect copyright.PENANAR9TfK77NsB
taking place during all this time.
