A Shrouded Ring of Hope

CHAPTER 5
It wasn't going to be easy explaining the situation to him, although, knowing Kaze', it probably wouldn't affect him much. He could hide his emotions well when he wanted to, keep them under control. Nothing seemed to penetrate him very far. It was one of the many unique things about him that had granted him the honor of being First Com., although, the thought of the position being granted to anyone else was laughable.
"Huepow, what the hell is that thing! I've never seen a creature like that before in my life!"
He already knows…
The hologram loomed above them and made the room seem much smaller than they knew it was.
"This is the situation Kaze'…it's a Nightmare."
Kaze' drew back, something had struck him in the one place nothing else could.
"That's impossible! Everyone knows Nightmares are a legend! They're ancient myths."
He knows…
"Kaze', I do not like to appear a fool." He boomed.
The message echoed off the walls and Kaze's face grew stern.
"It is difficult for me to acknowledge this myself; I realize the frailty of the statement, which is why I need your help. The intelligence on this creature is inadequate, if it is a Nightmare I don't know what we'll do. You'll be putting together a four-man observation team, I need you to learn as much as you can about this thing and report back to me directly. The whole operation should take no more than a few hours, so I expect there not to be any problems. I want your best men on this expedition Kaze', is that understood?"
"Yes, Lord Huepow."
He hesitated…that's not like him at all. I'm worried, could it really be true…
"Good, I want your team ready to go before the next eclipse. That will be all."
They both saluted as the hologram faded away and the light in the room got brighter. Kaze' was already to the door by the time the room was back to normal.
