It had been 2 weeks now since Percy had found Astra and the both of them, including Morph, had been travelling the universe, doing whatever they could to help against the Galra, when Astra started moving on her own, almost as if on auto-piolet. Percy knew better than to interfere, so she lent back, and enjoyed the view, however she still remained wary. In the words of a famous book character, “Constant vigilance.”

They ended up flying side by side with a lion, almost identical to Astra, but blue, she looked into the window of the ship next to her to see 5 people inside, looking very concerned and scared, they hadn’t noticed her yet.

Astra landed just besides the blue lion, after the 5 people got out, they seemed to be in front of a castle like structure. They all turned to look at her, wary and on guard. Once Astra had landed Percy turned to Morph, “Stay hidden.”

Percy went to get out of her lion, the 5 peoples eyes on her. Halfway down the stairs she drew riptide, not saying anything.

The 5 people tuned to look at the girl exiting the ship, stuck by her beauty and although she was ready to fight them with a sword risen, they all felt safe around her, like she would protect them from all harm. Her dark wavey hair fell down her back and sea green eyes evaluated them, wondering if they were a threat, She was wearing a plain black t-shirt with a grey and blue flannel over it  navy blue skinny jeans. Shiro, snapping out of it questioned, “Who are you? Where are we?!”

“My name is Percy, and I have no idea.” She answered, her voice reminding them all of the sea, sweet and calming. “Who are you?”

“Oh, well, I’m Hunk, that’s Lance, Pidge, Keith, and Shiro!” Hunk greeted, friendly.

“You don’t look like an alien.” Lance blurted out, still looking at her.

Percy chuckled, “My home planet is Earth, I take it yours is too?”

“Wow, really? How did you end up all the way out here?” Pidge questioned. Pidge themselves having tried to get to space for a long time.

“Oh, well, I got bored, so I left, simple really.” Percy explained like it was nothing, “What year is it there by the way?”

“2042, why would you ask?” Keith asked.

“Huh. Well, I was born in 1993, and left in 2009” Percy responded, making the others jaw drop. “I guess we should go explore. These lions probably brought us here for a reason, hm.”

With that the blue and grey lion roared at the front doors, opening them.

“No! I knew it was going to eat us! No!” Hunk yelled, hiding behind Shiro.

The 5 humans looked scared, but the demigod stood her ground, only tensing slightly. The doors opened into a massive dark hallway.

“Oh, the door is open. Guess I was wrong about you.” Hunk told the lions, making Percy snort.

Percy led the way, the rest following behind her, riptide was still drawn and lighting up a dim path to follow and held steady, ready to fight. Percy walked light on her feet, and made no noise like it was natural, at this point in her life, it was. Percy had immediately felt a connection to each of her companions, swearing to herself to protect them.

One might think after getting betrayed back on Earth she would have trouble getting close to people, but she didn’t, Percy was instinctively a people person, she can’t cope fully on her own.

“Hello?” Hunk called out into the darkness, his voice echoing and shrugging when everyone looked at him.

“From the size of the lion, I expected these steps to be bigger.” Pidge pointed out, getting a proud look from Percy. Pidge beamed at the look, it was something about Percy that made you feel special and like you could trust her, want to make her proud.
