“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
336Please respect copyright.PENANAErpvcJ1IpV
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the336Please respect copyright.PENANA2dnA2rAxZS
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly336Please respect copyright.PENANAp5K6dFTk73
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of336Please respect copyright.PENANArp708RhR3m
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies336Please respect copyright.PENANAZxfbkv9NsW
first took the throne.336Please respect copyright.PENANAqySg7Y3RR6
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.336Please respect copyright.PENANA2uSRKEeBRi
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible336Please respect copyright.PENANAnlb6uR777M
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by336Please respect copyright.PENANAWxeOk0ozT0
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and336Please respect copyright.PENANADAM4dul9Ne
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for336Please respect copyright.PENANA6CrZD5BL6i
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about336Please respect copyright.PENANAAMX2HfdJPq
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the336Please respect copyright.PENANAcCrmYTvJSk
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra336Please respect copyright.PENANAScRw2uuGNb
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital336Please respect copyright.PENANAChRpT76mYG
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.336Please respect copyright.PENANABZBfXVPZYB
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more336Please respect copyright.PENANA78PuTawPV0
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.336Please respect copyright.PENANAGHWnxmFv1l
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies336Please respect copyright.PENANAk1zr1mgTI2
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow336Please respect copyright.PENANAwNdUN2opeJ
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.336Please respect copyright.PENANAjFuxXFWJ1L
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else336Please respect copyright.PENANABx5UGXxqka
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the336Please respect copyright.PENANAVVWK0GG0em
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery336Please respect copyright.PENANA1mSEKdkFD9
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds336Please respect copyright.PENANAMuZ1OXXgSx
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.336Please respect copyright.PENANA9orWbfapaG
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly336Please respect copyright.PENANAIAjxhrCjKt
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the336Please respect copyright.PENANAzRtUBlKY7D
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand336Please respect copyright.PENANAAh0MDA5YSy
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this336Please respect copyright.PENANAZYSLOrorTY
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out336Please respect copyright.PENANApC1zlPu4u4
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.336Please respect copyright.PENANAl4xFiIdnuj
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the336Please respect copyright.PENANAHG7FPbE7Jg
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and336Please respect copyright.PENANA5cemxLGFjA
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,336Please respect copyright.PENANAwRU1hlKNCn
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,336Please respect copyright.PENANAuw8ltRhcvi
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had336Please respect copyright.PENANA5PKppOEEmw
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in336Please respect copyright.PENANAheW7mCP7vB
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?336Please respect copyright.PENANAHHHbO2JyA4
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.336Please respect copyright.PENANApLLzGsmkNF
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital336Please respect copyright.PENANAGlViJGcjOl
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits336Please respect copyright.PENANAICmzuLF93r
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in336Please respect copyright.PENANAEom4NK39dV
this manner the five-warrior tradition.336Please respect copyright.PENANAYwUKhEHQKk
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the336Please respect copyright.PENANAstRK4AsieF
royal court pointed out.336Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dqru8AzdT
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group336Please respect copyright.PENANAHhVLIcixnL
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.336Please respect copyright.PENANAVu6tgrAgtA
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever336Please respect copyright.PENANAzeFs7ZYwiB
taking place during all this time.
