Zuka still felt embarrassed. Omega Squad was no place for mistakes. This was a very minor one, but Zuka Zamamee saw himself as a perfectionist. Zuka sighed, nodded at James and walked away. He avoided Ash, who now walked toward James. Ash's usual, cold voice was heard over the gentle breaking of the waves against the ship's bow. "He did all right. A small error, but I doubt that old idiot became suspicious. It is usual for ships to come without notice and in the end it means more gold for him. He won't care about us." James said nothing for a minute or so. Ash spoke again, now staring his old friend in the eyes: "We have to track Fenix down as fast as possible! Once he is dead, I will meet Fizban. The plan must proceed smoothly. I hope this Nar bloke won't screw things up!" |

"If I can make it any smoother I will Ash." James said smiling. "I had a word about the error but he is regretting it." James watched the Weissland ship as they moed further away. "Fenix is good, don't forget that Ash. He is as good as many of us." James said looking at Ash again. |
"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided! Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony! Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus | |

Another Dragon came up on the deck from below, "Ash," he began. "Nar wants you to know that he finished and sent the report back to Thunderton. He only mentioned our progress across the Sea of Strength as well as our destination." |

Ash did not turn his head. He simply asked: "Who did he contact?" Ash added a hand gesture to James to wait a moment. |

"Pezza," the Dragon said. "Well, of course I can't know that for sure but Nar has his loyalty to him." |

James nodded understanding and looked away slightly so as not to intrude into the conversation. |

Ash was, of course, not surprised by the reply. He just needed to know if Pezza was personally involved or had some puppet to take care of this operation. Clearly the old traitor kept an eye on him. It made Ash slightly nervous, but he knew that if he remained cool, Pezza would not be able to touch him - not that far away - not in Weissland - and not when "the King of Photoshop" was no longer a Dragon. Ash smiled at the thought. Triumph! "Very well, Psynjir! Return to your duties!" The Dragon bowed and walked away. Ash turned to face James and then spoke in his usual way: "I know Fenix. He has taught me a lot of his art of thinking and acting. I admired him once. I also plan to learn from his mistakes. Thus make me stronger than him! I do not want the new Battalion to be what the Serpent Clan turned out as. He became too greedy. For money! I just want freedom. Lord Sunnycool pays us well, but we have our hands tied!" Ash balled his hand into a fist and then continued: "We must stay focused on the code, James! I need you to watch my back. I don't want some greedy Omega Dragon to stab me in the back. I do not wish to bring harm upon fellow Dragons. I just want to start over. To make a true Dragon Battalion in this continent. I want people to be awe-struck by the mere mention of the Battalion. I want glory! I want honour! If the White Realm is so focused on these virtues, then why should we not aim for them as well?" Ash was convinced he was right. It was easy for Pezza to like the Dragons obedient and safe. He no longer lurked in the shadows. He was a "king" now. He had eternal glory! Why should Ash not strive for the same? Why should he not lead all other willing Dragons to honour, glory and freedom! Whatever the cost! |

"Of course I shall watch your back Ash." James said his voice slightly hurt. "But what need have we for glory, Fenix wanted glory and look where it took him. We have our lives, we have money and can do what we wish. Many men would kill for such things. Why take more when it is not needed." James said trying to reason with his friend. |

Ash reached for his dagger. He took it out and looked at it, playing with the shining blade's ability to reflect the sunlight. He then spoke, without looking at James, turning the sharp blade in his cunning hands: "The traitor Fenix attacked fellow Dragons. He is no man of glory! He just wanted money and power. He has that now! I have no need of gold. You know me, James! You know you! We live a spartan life - gold means nothing to me. Neither does political power - look what Perry ended up as. No, my friend, have no doubts! We will search for the greatest things in the world - freedom and glory! Neither a part of our current profession! Dragons are no pets, yet the Battalion only does what Lord Sunnycool wants it to do. That is wrong! If you do not agree, I will have you removed from this task force, James! I thought at least you would still have eyes! Fizban has the power to help us rebirth the Dragon Battalion!" Ash's voice was sharp. He thought that James was merely playing with him - testing Ash's persuasion skills. If the Omega Second-in-Command was not willing to accomplish this sacred mission, Ash would have to kill him. He knew too much already! But Ash feared not. James had never failed him before. |

James looked at Ash and the slight manic look in his eyes. "Ash don't be fooled, I wish the same things as you. But before we throw off what we deem shackles perhaps we should talk with Sunnycool first and gain freedom through reason. He was one of us, he will understand our feeling to some degree. But Ash remember this, I am not your enemy!" James finished before walking away to the side of the ship and looking into the water. |

Ash turrned and walked toward his friend again. Superiority and arrogance scrolling accross his face and showing even in his walk: "Don't be a fool, James! Stanislav would never let us become independant. Autonomous! With all of the black operations we have done at his will, he would never risk any of them slipping out! Of course I have no plans of telling the world about his small personal wars - I am a man of honour and I bow to the code, but he would not risk it. Neither would Pezza" Ash grunted and then continued: "Besides, they would both be afraid that we would join forces with Fenix or choose that traitor's path." Ash shook his head, sheathing his dagger. "No James - this is the only way. With Fizban's help we will suceed. He has assured me that the Realm has no power once we set up the new Battalion in Weissland. We will be untouchable!" |

"You know I am with you Ash, I just think we should try talking about it first. Ah well." James said shrugging. |

"I value your critical approach, James! I have no need of mindless drones! It is good you question our mission. But have no doubt beyond the hypothetical! Let us focus on tracking down Fenix. We have little to no recon on this location. We need to split up, visit the local inns and pubs and find someone who knows about the Serpents setting up here. Save none of the gold. Pezza is sponsoring us on this one. Can't say I am unhappy with that." Ash said, completely without emotion, "What about Nar? Do you think he might know what we are up to?" Ash wanted to see if James would be of the same opinion without telling him what Ash thought. He had to check his friend's sharpness. |

"I suspect them all." James said his face serious. "As for Nar, yes he could be expecting us. We shall have to be cautious but we are here to get the job done no matter what." James finished, a faint smile on his usually stern face. |

"What do we do with him once Fenix has been eliminated? We send him back to the Realm alone on the Circumference? No - Zuka must get this ship back to the White Realm. We will hire a minimal crew. I do not want these Weissland idiots to get suspicious!" |

"A minimal crew and a good wind." James said quietly. |

Ash nodded and smiled. They were close to the docks now. "James, you had a contact in Amei! Where can we find him? We need to know the best places to start looking for traces of Fenix!" |

"He will be in the Black Raven, a small tavern near the harbour. If more than three go into the tavern he will run. He will be sitting facing the door and will have a black bandana on." James said nodding. |

Ash grunted. Black Raven. This bloke sounded like something from a bad novel. Oh well, Ash thought, if he can help us track that scumbag down, I don't give a damn about his customs. "Very well, James!" Ash said, exhaling loudly, "let's visit this tavern. I want you and Nosaree to join me." Ash waved at Zuka and told him that he would be in charge of the men with Ash and James abscent. The Dragons were to remain on or near the ship. Ash trusted his men would follow his orders without problems. Omega Dragons were no amateurs. |

James slipped another knife into his bracer should it be needed then followed Ash from the ship. He glanced at those being left behind, nodded to them then made his way onto the quayside. |
