“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
108Please respect copyright.PENANA48p9tzdsUc
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the108Please respect copyright.PENANA7NgqVYlLnL
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly108Please respect copyright.PENANAiuMhg4qNOy
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of108Please respect copyright.PENANA1gU5LBQ0zD
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies108Please respect copyright.PENANA2A6Ji4cfZa
first took the throne.108Please respect copyright.PENANABBSwIp4uvr
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.108Please respect copyright.PENANAT84zmZrD3N
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible108Please respect copyright.PENANAJTtqxW9FLG
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by108Please respect copyright.PENANAXi1Sk5IevK
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and108Please respect copyright.PENANATtGCihwv5J
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for108Please respect copyright.PENANAm7JWJFfaqW
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about108Please respect copyright.PENANA8kkbCu9u0W
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the108Please respect copyright.PENANAPBlH1ROHHM
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra108Please respect copyright.PENANAS0Q9wAi6HQ
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital108Please respect copyright.PENANA115tNU6CNg
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.108Please respect copyright.PENANAjgfvd75Lv9
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more108Please respect copyright.PENANAylEzpM3muy
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.108Please respect copyright.PENANA9CRASL7vbp
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies108Please respect copyright.PENANATTsV1RQgLI
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow108Please respect copyright.PENANACI7hShQDap
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.108Please respect copyright.PENANAqv29JTQuJZ
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else108Please respect copyright.PENANALYbnGQjnKx
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the108Please respect copyright.PENANAFaR4gRKh9v
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery108Please respect copyright.PENANAOXcDgMNzqA
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds108Please respect copyright.PENANAQmz75SMxvI
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.108Please respect copyright.PENANAoRympp0nZv
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly108Please respect copyright.PENANAw6MQp71nXA
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the108Please respect copyright.PENANAekGtHoqnk9
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand108Please respect copyright.PENANADUR3UL0VNv
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this108Please respect copyright.PENANAHGgwcv2cbU
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out108Please respect copyright.PENANAeP1jAc4NSz
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.108Please respect copyright.PENANAGLrDZXAnAw
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the108Please respect copyright.PENANAvtVD6q5SVq
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and108Please respect copyright.PENANAK7J8yEgP8L
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,108Please respect copyright.PENANAPHquv1xQVu
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,108Please respect copyright.PENANA4iZOuqN1eT
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had108Please respect copyright.PENANAFjmDam06jf
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in108Please respect copyright.PENANALyW5A1dVth
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?108Please respect copyright.PENANASoLpDZ2xoa
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.108Please respect copyright.PENANAh4pWpQP2HK
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital108Please respect copyright.PENANAVdLIRx6V4x
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits108Please respect copyright.PENANAhtq4yotxzh
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in108Please respect copyright.PENANAoCWRg6C4pT
this manner the five-warrior tradition.108Please respect copyright.PENANAu4p2p7vnlT
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the108Please respect copyright.PENANAEhzdC4dMfo
royal court pointed out.108Please respect copyright.PENANAQrQoFeSrhp
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group108Please respect copyright.PENANA1fiCtbOxcp
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.108Please respect copyright.PENANAm2NJOpqykh
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever108Please respect copyright.PENANAiF7ENyiKri
taking place during all this time.
