"Neren I need you to do something for me." Said Angara.
"Of course, my lady." Said Neren.
She told him that she needed to see Wren, and Cero. He said that he will tell them, and went off to the barracks to get them. Angara knew that one of them would be the new captain of the guard. She went inside the office, and went to do some of the work that she didn't get done before the mid-day meal.
Neren had soon made his way to the door to the guard barracks, and went inside. Tennon seen him enter, and walked up to him. He asked what he wanted, and Neren said that he wanted nothing from him. Neren then walked past him, and walked up near Cero's bunk.
"Neren, is there something that you need?" Cero asked.
"Yes, where's Wren?" Neren asked.
"Right here, something wrong Neren?" Wren asked.
"Nothing's wrong that I know of, but Lady Angara wants to see you, and Cero in her office." Said Neren.
"Did she say why she wanted to see us?" Cero asked.
"No she did not, and I didn't pry. I will let her know that you are on your way." Said Neren as he left.
The two cats looked at each other, and went to put on some clean uniforms. Once they were ready, they went to talk with Lady Angara. They were walking to the office, and Wren seen his sister walking towards them. Saya looked at her brother as she passed. Cero, and Wren then stopped at the office door; Wren watched his sister walk by without looking at him.
He wondered if something was going on. Cero knocked, and heard "come in"; he had to get Wren's attention. Wren looked at him, and Cero pointed to the door that he had his claws on. Wren nodded his head ok, and Cero opened the door. They walked in, and stopped in front of the desk. Wren was nervous, he wanted to know why Lady Angara wanted.
"Lady Angara, we've come as asked." Said Cero.
"Yes, I bet you're wondering why I asked you both here." Said Angara.
"It does seem strange, my lady." Said Cero.
"Well, the reason I wanted to see you, is because I need to figure out which one of you two should be the new Captain of the Guard." Said Angara.
"My lady?" Said Wren.
"I need to have a Captain of the Guard appointed before I leave for the Center kingdom." Said Angara.
Angara asked each of them who they thought was the best choice for the position. Angara listened how they would choose the other, and they gave reasons. She now needed time to think about all of what they told her. Angara told them that she would think about everything they told her, and she would let them know about her choice. They bowed, and left the room. Cero was unsure about what just happened, Wren had stopped, and seen Cero's face.
"What's wrong?" Wren asked.
"I thought that she would just choose someone to take that position. But asked us which one of us would be best." Said Cero.
"Seems Lady Angara likes to know that the person she chooses, can do the job." Said Wren.
They went to get some food, and then go to their duties. Tennon had walked up to them while they were eating, and asked what Lady Angara wanted. Cero said that if Lady Angara wanted everyone to know, she would have announced it herself. Tennon walked over, and grabbed Cero's collar. He then angrily asked the question again. Wren got up, and went to pull Tennon off of Cero. Wren then pushed him away.
"Leave him alone. Lady Angara didn't tell us anything other than to ask us our opinion of who would be best for Captain of the Guard." Said Wren.
"I hope you told her me, because I am the next to take command." Said Tennon.
Angara had left the office just after Cero, and Wren. She watched, and heard everything from the balcony overlooking the guards mess hall. She seen the entire exchange, and knew right then who she wanted to take over. She turned, and headed back down the hall, and went to take care of some more paperwork. As she was going back to the office, she came across Tyrell.
"My lady, did something good happen?" Tyrell asked.
"Why do you ask?" Angara asked.
"You're smiling; don't get me wrong, it's good to see you smile, but you haven't smiled since you got Lord Lynx-O's message." Said Tyrell.
