“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
296Please respect copyright.PENANAU3U6R2SKjs
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the296Please respect copyright.PENANA1fxlzLQQ3V
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly296Please respect copyright.PENANATdo6lV6Tbe
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of296Please respect copyright.PENANAQAOcOL9P3g
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies296Please respect copyright.PENANAdVnG1EYbC2
first took the throne.296Please respect copyright.PENANAQbPD30AJ48
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.296Please respect copyright.PENANASoFxLUkOrI
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible296Please respect copyright.PENANAT4uzAIBuxC
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by296Please respect copyright.PENANAkwLFGPSTVH
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and296Please respect copyright.PENANAby48Uq70Zv
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for296Please respect copyright.PENANAgaf6eC4lhF
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about296Please respect copyright.PENANAEw5CjvLd0F
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the296Please respect copyright.PENANArLjUOB1SOq
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra296Please respect copyright.PENANAp7c5hBvnLH
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital296Please respect copyright.PENANAok8ZlJAgbo
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.296Please respect copyright.PENANAsTUjskge3V
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more296Please respect copyright.PENANAcmmy6hJTye
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.296Please respect copyright.PENANAJzh0zLhC1a
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies296Please respect copyright.PENANA0SW0L5bPRV
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow296Please respect copyright.PENANA9sUDJGGILW
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.296Please respect copyright.PENANACxGLG0WQ6S
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else296Please respect copyright.PENANAz93wUjgc8g
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the296Please respect copyright.PENANAmLikrWIyCG
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery296Please respect copyright.PENANAcMiXpQYqhA
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds296Please respect copyright.PENANAMTHg3Cg5rg
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.296Please respect copyright.PENANAW939ay2fFG
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly296Please respect copyright.PENANAbBq8N2yjLr
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the296Please respect copyright.PENANAmodXU3uIKR
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand296Please respect copyright.PENANAaRRSCjJ8lB
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this296Please respect copyright.PENANAG4tWTNwNRu
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out296Please respect copyright.PENANAN3zN259UJV
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.296Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5P68CLpBO
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the296Please respect copyright.PENANADVeasoTxho
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and296Please respect copyright.PENANAXXjFMfNCsv
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,296Please respect copyright.PENANAL2NzIoY2Vb
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,296Please respect copyright.PENANAX5KNPUFEbE
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had296Please respect copyright.PENANA0nACzQxlt4
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in296Please respect copyright.PENANASK2gKUzz9v
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?296Please respect copyright.PENANAiMAm7tzQPM
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.296Please respect copyright.PENANAvOAAzTxqUe
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital296Please respect copyright.PENANAPwbv5Ic5vv
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits296Please respect copyright.PENANAqkKCtPmZmf
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in296Please respect copyright.PENANAnafAKx3F0B
this manner the five-warrior tradition.296Please respect copyright.PENANAfJkuzXJ4xU
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the296Please respect copyright.PENANAqWWy7jR0i3
royal court pointed out.296Please respect copyright.PENANAeGRJYLcNMT
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group296Please respect copyright.PENANAMSCwh2OX0K
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.296Please respect copyright.PENANAVjMecOGhYb
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever296Please respect copyright.PENANAR47Vsq2lbA
taking place during all this time.
