      Captain Tanoh Ohnat - Frank Carey

      CHAPTER ONE

      Captain Tanoh Ohnat was standing in a large, ornate audience room surrounded by beings that could only be described as blue-black-brown, steroid-addicted werewolves with huge elf-like ears, retractable claws, each one heavily-armed and wearing composite armor. Off to one side was a mirror. He could see himself in it and what he saw was shocking, for he too was a werewolf, but unlike the others in the room, he wore no armor and held no weapons. Instead he wore bloody rags and chains—lots of chains. He looked around and saw a throne in front of him. At that moment, he realized he wasn't a human captain in the League Space Patrol. No, he was Kalock Stor, ex-prince of the Lysan Commonwealth and soon-to-be corpse.

      A larger Lysan—this one looked to be at least seven feet tall with enough muscles to make a Goranthi run in fear—walked in and sat down in the chair. It was King Stelgar Stor, ruler of the Commonwealth and Kalock's father. Still looking good, Pops, Kalock thought to himself, kill any sons this morning, or am I the first? The king sat down and glared at Kalock.

      Leave us! the king barked.

      Sir? the captain of the guards asked. Are you sure?

      Get out!

      The captain saluted, then motioned for everyone to leave except for Kalock. In seconds, the two were alone. Stelgar sat back in his chair while continuing to stare at Kalock.

      Hey, Dad, how's tricks? Kalock asked.

      Stelgar said nothing. Instead, he snapped his fingers. Instantly, a young female Lysan appeared and stood at attention. Stelgar nodded to her. Kalock watched with interest as she walked over to where he stood and unlocked his shackles. Freed, Kalock went from slumped over to standing at attention. If he was going to die, it would be as a proud Lysan and not a chained animal.

      Do you have anything to say before I pronounce sentence? Stelgar asked.

      I am still totally unqualified to run the commonwealth and, if given the choice, I would not kill you. I swore to protect the people of the commonwealth. If that means having to die at the hands of the very Lysan I saved the life of, then so be it.

      Stelgar stood up and walked over to where Kalock stood. You are the first heir to ever decline the throne due to his or her belief they were ill-suited for the position of king, assuming that was your only reason.

      If you mean I find patricide to be abhorrent both emotionally and morally, then you are correct. I know how this shit works. I get loaded with stimulants, then I am thrown into the ring with my father, whose been tranked. Not going to happen... Ever! You want to retire and raise petunias? Then I'll stay on and run things until we find a suitable replacement, but I will not put you to the sword in a contrived death match.

      It is tradition...!

      It is bovine excrement! The Lysan people are better than that! We have become morally corrupt and only a strong leader can fix that. I can't fill that role, and if you're unwilling to do so, then find someone who can, which by the way, you'll have to do anyway after putting me to the sword.

      The king crossed his arms and glared at his son. When did you suddenly grow a spine?

      When you lost yours... Sire.

      The young lady took a step away from the two males.

      Kalock began to laugh.

      Do you find your impending death funny? Stelgar asked.

      No, I find you trying to bait me into battle funny. You are persistent.

      Stelgar stifled a smile. Was I that obvious?

      Kalock looked over to the young lady and the look of relief in her eyes. Only to me, sire.

      The king looked at her. Perhaps you are right, my son, but there are still the charges you have been convicted of. Are you ready for sentencing?

      "I've been ready since the guard finished the last round of beatings. I find being pummeled by your finest boring at
