Forgotten Blizzard (ON HAITUS)

A Warm... Reality?

Decided to remake this part and decided not to add different POV's. 

-----

When Shiro awoke from the safety of his lion, he slowly decided to walk out. Leaving his lion and entering the breeze of the hangar... 'breeze?' The doors to the outside were slightly open.

Walking over, he noticed it was just enough space for himself to fit through.

Shiro soon realized the castle had crash landed on a planet, the scenery had reminded and brought back old memories of earth... besides the fact that smoke was rising from different areas. 

A sharp sting at the side of his head brought his thoughts to a halt.

"Ugh, my head is spinning" Shiro managed to say, despite the warm liquid dripping from his head. 

Looking around, a hazy, but familiar figure had caught his eye. "Adam..? Is that you?" The figure slightly turned around and starting sprinting in the opposite direction. Confused and relieved at a familiar person, he blindly start running after him, unknowing of the unconscious figures he was leaving behind. 

All thoughts he had previously had just seemed to... disappear. Seeing a faraway friend brought tears to his eyes, just threatening to pour.

Running through the various bushes and passing trees, Shiro felt his eyebrows cringe as the figure of what seemed to be Adam was fading away. Away from his reach.

Distressed, he started yelling, desperate for him to turn around and reassure him that he wasn't going to leave.

...Not like how Shiro left him, not for that long anyway.

Feeling drained from running and the blood loss from the crash, the familiar figure had long disappeared. Before he had known it, he was lost. 

On an unfamiliar planet, broken communications, and a feeling of dread. The illusions and Shiro's past memories, the warmth, he was only fooling himself.

Within the castle...

Hunk was slowly waking up, his heavy eyelids almost preventing him from doing so. he eventually got up from the seat, seemingly unharmed.

He headed over to the black lion's hangar. Shiro was gone, then a soft, but throat burning breeze was making its way in from the slit opened doors. 

'he must've left from there'  Hunk thought to himself, still feeling a little groggy. 

Making his way to the exit, he felt a slight disagreement as to how Shiro could have fit through this gap. Regardless, Hunk somehow made my way past into a somewhat familiar scene.

The same scenery Shiro had scene just before disappearing into it.

Exiting the castle, he was surprised to see two pairs of green eyes staring right at him. 'Those eyes remind me of Pidge..'  

It started to shuffle within the pale green bush, a small ball of fuzz, two stick-like legs, and a long neck with its big eyes came out. Reminded Hunk of an Egret back on earth, but way smaller, and a rounded snout. 

"Your kinda cute... what are you?" he had unknowingly said, expecting an answer from the small creature. It suddenly became startled from shuffling around the corner, unconsciously, he prepared his bayard. 

A sigh of relief passed over when Allura and Coran, the two Altean pilots, appeared. They looked exhausted and fear glossed over the princess' eyes. 

"The...the red paladin." "What about him?" Hunk asked, oblivious to the atmosphere. "He didn't make it".
