It's been a year since the war ended, since Allura gave herself for the universe. I've been working with what's left of the blade to get to as many wounded planets as we can but they made me take a break. Kolivan and Krolia insisted that I visited with the Voltron crew to commemorate the Altean princess.

Lance was heartbroken, left almost all space travel behind. From what I know, he just flies to Altea on occasion. He's made himself a farm and runs it quite well. Pidge insists on keeping me updated since they visit everyone often.

I decide to put on my best shirt, even if it is just a black tee. I only have three outfits, this one, my Voltron armor, and my Blade armor. I only have this outfit because Shiro insisted he and Curtis buy me something "comfortable." My armor works just fine actually, and it keeps me safe.

"Woah- Keith! You're here!" Hunk bellows as I walk into the new castle. I'm assuming he just arrived like me. "You're that surprised I came?" I smile and cross my arms.

I think it takes a minute for him to realize I'm
Joking because his laugh is delayed. "I- just know that you're busy with helping planets. That's all-" I shake my head and pat his shoulder.

"Is everyone else here yet?" The big man gives me a half shrug, "Pidge is here, I just came from a meeting with new alliance members. They loved the food." He gleams as we continue our way into the new building. "I knew your cooking was more than enough to gain allies!" He gives me his same toothy grin, except this time exhaustion doesn't cling to his features.

"Keith!!" I hear their voice before I'm tackled in a hug. Pidge has wrapped their arms around me tightly, "hey kiddo." Sometimes it slips on how young they are. They're only nineteen, fourteen when we were drug into the war. We're all earth adults now though, it doesn't feel real.

"This new castle is ten times bigger than the old one! And our technology is fused with Altean magic and more! It's so advanced!" Pidge rambles to Hunk and I as we journey. We reach what would be the bay and  find Coran and Shiro. His head of white hair gets brighter every time I see him.

"Keith! You've grown." He gives me a smile and wraps his mechanical arm around me. He has to look up at me, which I never even realized. I guess my galra half isn't done growing. "I've missed you." I manage out and he just squeezes harder.

"Now all we have to do is wait for Lance and we can have dinner. We can head to the courtyard though, I commissioned the best architects from around the universe to build a memorial statue." Coran suggests and points toward the windows, all I see are trees from here.

"That sounds amazing Coran." Hunk soothes and heads toward the door. Our small group almost feels whole, we're only missing my right hand man and our princess. I remember the first time one of us almost died, it was Lance. The horrific red beast Haunted him for most of the war, he stopped talking to me about it.

It gave Pidge nightmares for weeks, I would find them in the training room. Scanning their computer in the bright light. I can't say I didn't have nightmares either, it was terrifying carrying him. I would blame myself when anyone would get hurt, because I was their leader.

I'm first up the stairs, lost in my own thoughts as I finally notice the giant statue. Exactly in her likeness, the elegant warrior she was. There are small children crowding around two people in-front of the statue. "All right class! I think it's time we go and leave Paladin Lance to his friends." The random lady, who is apparently a teacher, calls. All of the children follow and I can feel Lance's dead stare on me.
