The following is a piece of a chapter from The Logan Family Saga 2.

The Denied Promotion of Leon Goldtimbers of France
As Leon walked down the hot, steamy hallway in the EITC Fortress of the EITC Board of Directors on the island of Jamacia, happy thoughts ran through his head. "Today is the day I just know it! Today Samuel promotes me to Grand Lord of the EITC!" As Leon stopped right in front of the Boards' Doorway, he knocked and Leon heard a voice say"You may enter" Leon opened the door and quickly gave a miliatry Salute. "At ease" Leon heard one of the 10 Lords say" Leon, due to your continuing efforts and rise through the ranks of the EITC, and the request made to Samuel Redbeard to be promoted to Grand Lord of the EITC, and assitant to Lord Cutler Beckett....." Leon's old friend Charles who was at the door shouted "He deserves it! He needs this promotion!" A lord motioned for him to leave and Samuel continued for the unnamed lord " Due to your actions at the Batle of New Marais and saved the lives of countless civilians and your commanding officer, you recived a major push, but I am sorry, your request is declined" Leon shouted in protest "What, I have done everything, I have completed all the requirements, I have gone through training, what else do you want from me!?" Samuel shouted" Leon, control yourself, you are acting like a child, the reason we declined your promotion is that you are too young, in a year you will be granted another shot at the promotion, until then, please leave!" Leon bowed and left with anger in his eyes.

As Leon stormed down the steaming hallway, he thought "Charles was right, I deserve that promotion, who cares if I am a year too young, Samuel was given that rank when he was a year younger than me!" Leon stopped to open the door to the port, he ordered a soldier to prepair a ship for him to sail out of there of. Leon though again"Good thing I had Beckett sign these papers, they are letters of Marque that give me the power to seize anything I desire, and I will prove my worth for that title by captureing Blackbeard himself!"
