23 - Aboard the Pale Dragon

"Captain Xanatos, Grand Admiral is trying to reach you in your chambers via view screen,” reported Kingsley, as she looked at the message. Kingsley's brightened when she saw her name on the summons, as well.

I am on my way back, Commander. What does she want now? Xanatos' voice asked curiously.

“It's a summons back to Layardia. You are to be replace with me. You are to be a Commander in the Crimson Squadron,” Kingsley reported to her captain.

“That's absurd. She can't demote me. What is her reasoning for this outrage? Sqiidas trusted me with the Pale Dragon, and now she is in your hands, Commander Kingsley,” Xanatos enraged, as he walked through the Main Bridge's door.

“That's what her message stated, Captain,” reported Kingsley.

“Helmsman, set a course for Layardia. We will see what this all about,” ordered Xanatos, as the Pale Dragon detached from the Shadow Hunter and headed for Layardia. Xanatos left the Main Bridge and headed for his chambers to read the Grand Admiral's message.

“Well, that was interesting. Helmsman, fire up the Ghost-drive and head for Layardia. You have the bridge Lt. Milton,” ordered Kingsley, as she left the bridge and headed in Xanatos' direction.

“Captain, wait for just a minute. I need to talk with you,” said Kingsley, as she chased after him.

“I am not your captain anymore, as Grand Admiral H'Ackre-Limwin would have it. She would rather have me as a Flight Commander of Space Forces then your captain,” Xanatos stated boldly, as they continued walking down the corridor toward his chambers.

“You will always be my captain, Xanatos. The way you handled those Valient Knights' symbionts was the way I would want my true captain handle this ship. That was what Sqiidas saw in you, the rare gift to take charge of his surroundings and dominate his emotions when the situation calls for it. You must understand that Grand Admiral H'Ackre-Limwin does not see that potential in you the way I do. She sees an inexperienced child who was forced into the captain's chair, with fear of losing his high position. You must show her that Captain Kinwan was right in promoting to the commander of our cadets' group. If two captains saw that spark that I still see in you. The Grand Admiral is wrong in giving me a position because I was rebelling against my family to join the PRA,” Kingsley protested in Xanatos defense.

“So, you would rather have me fight this court martial hearing, then surrender to defeat?” asked Xanatos, as the Pale Dragon went into Phantom Space.

“Yes, you should fight for this position. It was destiny that gave you the captain's chair of the Pale Dragon. Now, fate wants take it away through Grand Admiral H'Ackre-Limwin. Isn't that what you Argoni do? Accept destiny and fight fate,” stated Kingsley.

“I am not Argoni. My father is Argoni, but I am my mother's son. She is a were-tiger, like me. We are from Argon, but that does not mean all were-tigers are Argoni,” Xanatos snared at Kingsley's comment.
