Rise Of The Lions

Chapter 13

TBC..

"Welcome to The Grand Castle of Lions." The king said with a small smile. "I'm glad you got here safely."

"Thank you your majesty." Keith said as him and the team bows in respect, "But what I don't understand is why we are here."

"Yes, I had to speak in person because I don't want no one but us to hear this situation. It's quite serious."

"Okay but before we get to that I have a question." Lance said.

"Go on."

"Why is this place called The Grand Castle of Lions and the plant being named The Planet of Lions?"

The team gave him a look of 'Not the time'.

"Haha, I am happy to explain with the situation deals with my planet."

"Whatever it is the voltron force will be here." Keith said.

"Thank you now the situation deals with my bloodline and what's outside of this planet. The drool army I believe."

"Lotor sir."

"Yes, Lotor doesn't know about the situation I'm about to reveal. Dealing with my granddaughter, she's in great danger."

"May we ask who your granddaughter is so we can find her before Lotor does?" Allura said.

"My granddaughter is in this room right here right now." The king notified.

As he said that the force looks around confused.

"Larmina." He said getting the cadet's attention. "Come forward my flower."

Everyone looks at Larmina who was shocked and hesitantly steps forward towards the king.

"I don't believe it." Lance said in disbelief.

The king smiles and placed his hand on the stunned cadet's shoulder.

"You are my granddaughter."

"W-what?" Larmina said not believing it along with the force.

"You are now this is where I explain my planet. Follow me."

The king walks towards the doors and the team follows him silently.

"If you all don't know my name I am King Arioch. My planet is home to Lions if you haven't thought about that."

"What do you mean home of Lions?" Hunk asked.

King Arioch stops and looks at them.

"My people along with myself can turn into lions."

The king continues and brings them into a room with a big couches.

"Please sit so I can explain about my granddaughter Larmina."

Everyone sits than Allura spoke.

"Pardon my interruption king Arioch but Larmina is my niece and my father has never spoken of you when I was a child." Allura said.

"Because he wasn't suppose to and you are King Alfor's child?"

"Yes, I'm princess Allura."

"I never heard of Alfor having another child except for his son. I can understand why some things were unspoken to you but that's not the point."

"The point is I am in danger you said?" Larmina asked.

"Yes and I'm sorry, it wasn't suppose to be this way. I can understand if none of you believe me but let me explain. After we you were born Larmina we had a celebration like every other royal of castle should. It was peaceful with your mother and father until your second birthday, a evil witch named Haggar swore to kill you when she ever got the chance because we never gave you to her. Immediately there was a war called the Zarkarnian war from drools, Haggar tried all her might to take you but you was already being sent to Arus by your parents. Before they left here your mother put a spell on you so Haggar couldn't tract you, it blocked your look, age, and blood. So when your parents came and gave you to King Alfor he immediately hid you as some of the drools was coming to Arus. Haggar knew you were Arusian as well so she sent some to Arus but she came in contact with the previous voltron force. And when everything was over before I lost my daughter she told me that I will rule in her place until your eighteenth birthday and I was to never step foot on Arus to keep you safe." The king finished and looks up.

The force had shock and sad faces for what happened all those years ago.

Allura looks at Larmina who was sitting next to her in silence looking down at her hands.

"I'm sorry." Allura said hugging her niece sad at the tragedy of the past.

"So what does this mean for me?" Larmina asked quietly looking at the king.

"It means that you are the rightful ruler to the throne of Lions. Your eighteenth birthday is in a month and when that day comes I will be stepping down from king."

"But I'm sixteen."

"No. I told you the spell your mother put on you changed your look and age, so your age and birthday you have been going by was reduced by two years."

"But I still don't understand, this, everything isn't making sense."

"That's another reason I told you all the come here. To show you who you are but two more people needs to know too."

Then the king looks at Daniel and Vince.

"Us?" They asked.

"Yes my boys, this is your birth home as well. Same for Larmina your parent fought in the war and put spells on you two too."

"So that's why we can turn into lions like Larmina because this is our home?" Daniel asked trying to make sure he gets it.

"Yes, the powers you three possess has been hidden all your life just in case a drool came across it."

The cadets looks at each other with a troubled look.

"When you mean powers you mean magic right?" Vince asked.

"I do."

Vince lifts his hand showing the king the wires.

King Arioch eyes widen in shock.

"How long have you been doing that?"

"Since we became cadets I didn't understand what it meant but I started to when Mahhox told me something."

Now this got the force's attention.

"What does Mahhox have to do with it?" Pidge asked.

"Well, it was when we took the lions to planet Doom to get the haggarium. We got caught and he checked our volt comms with the haggarium and Vince's reacted to it." Larmina told.

"But also he said 'I must be one of them, you have the same power that powers voltron." Vince said.

"And he also said something that whatever Vince was one of he thought they disappeared from the galaxy long ago." Daniel added.

"He's talking about this planet." King Arioch said sighing, "My planet was apart in the creation of voltron." He told.

This got everyone's attention mostly Allura.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yes, after all the planets that was apart of the creation we was the one's to give the lions the power to start. This was mainly to be kept secret but if this guy Mahhox figured that Vince is one of us he's going to keep trying to find this planet to find a way to power off voltron." He explained.

"Then we need to find the source."

"No princess Allura you don't understand we are the source."

"Oh.."
