In the center of the Kugo clan's dojo stood the Four Wings, dressed in white, and before them knelt more than a dozen pupils in black. And between these two groups stood Leonard Midwit, dark-eyed, dark-haired, and in a black barracks cap, captain of Moon Killers base six.
No other clan members occupied the dojo besides the Four Wings, and their faces were unreadable regarding Leonard's presence.
"Captain of Base 6? I thought you were running Paramount. When did Barbados start falling under your control?"
One of the Four Wings, Haste, spoke first.
The eager, driven one. He had dark, penetrating eyes and an inscrutable expression, his hand always resting on the two swords sheathed at his side. A dragon's head, the Kugo clan emblem, marked the back of his right hand.
