Celebration in the Academy

Two days later.

The Auditorium was filled with bright banners that were raised everywhere representing the new alliance between Montressor and Mondernor and the end of the Imperial wars. The Mondernor and Montressor orchestra was playing elegantly in the background of the Auditorium. The auditorium never looked so colorful and cheerful. Admiral Parker was wearing his best uniform and was standing in the middle of the Auditorium along side five other Admirals including the newly promoted Admiral Amelia. They all were behind a tall phoenix wearing long golden robes and a tall golden crown on his head. This was King Athenor of Montressor. He was an old Phoenix who ruled Montressor for fifty six years. On either side of the main aisle that was stretched in front of Athenor were guarded with the Adamast spacers of Mondernor. All wore round helmets with a long white pony tails attached to the top of each helmet. They all held sharp silver sabers that seemed able to cut through thick metal.

Suddenly the doors opened and standing in the doorway was Jim his white uniform. Everyone in the room began to cheer. Jim walked towards the King and knelt in front of Athenor. Athenor held a large golden medal shaped into a diamond. He raised it above Jim to let everyone to see. He began speak in his clearest tone saying, "James Pleiades Hawkins, I give you the Glathanion Medal for bravery and by your heroic actions I promote you to a lieutenant."

Athenor placed the medal on Jim's neck. Jim stood up and bowed towards the King and all the Admirals who were clapping with admiration. Jim gazed towards the crowed that was applauding. Sarah sat in front seats looking proudly at her son clapping happily. Beside sat Delbert and his kids, Ben, Morph (who turned into fire works and shooting towards the sky) and Jack with his eyes bright yellow for happiness they all clapped at Jim who stood there shining with all his glory.
