Beyond the Veil (Threw My eyes book 2)

The fishing Village

"ROMELLE" Roared Shay as she leapted up the stairs towards the pladian and Zara.

"THE FISHING VILLAGE IS UNDER ATTACK" Shay yelled.

The urgency in Shay's voice echoed through the castle, drawing the attention of Romelle, the Paladins, and Zara.

Romelle's expression hardened as she processed Shay's words, her eyes narrowing with determination.

"Prepare the communication channels," Romelle ordered, her voice steady despite the urgency of the situation. "We need to assess the situation immediately."

Shay nodded, already moving to carry out Romelle's orders.

The Paladins gathered around Romelle, their expressions mirroring her resolve.

"What's happening?" Keith asked, his tone edged with concern.

"The fishing village near the outer edges of our territory is under attack," Romelle explained, her gaze flickering with a mix of anger and concern. "We must act swiftly to protect our people."

Zara, the seer, stepped forward, her eyes closed in concentration. "I sense a dark presence, an ominous force behind this attack."

The Paladins exchanged grim looks, their instincts sharpened by years of facing threats together."We can't let them harm innocent civilians," Shiro stated, his voice carrying the weight of his leadership.

"We'll mobilize immediately," Allura affirmed, her resolve unwavering.

As the Paladins and members of the Pride prepared to respond, Romelle turned to Zara. "Can you provide any insight into the attackers' motives or strengths?"

Zara's brow furrowed as she delved deeper into her visions. "They seek something... a relic of great power. But their intentions are clouded, shrouded in darkness."

"We'll deal with their intentions later," Romelle said firmly. "For now, we must protect our people and repel this attack."

As the Paladins and members of the Pride prepared to mobilize in response to the attack on the fishing village, a tense atmosphere hung in the air.

Romelle's mind raced with strategic considerations, aware that Zara's prophetic warning might have been a calculated distraction.

However, before she could voice her suspicions, Zara stepped forward, her expression earnest.

"I know my presence here may seem like a distraction," Zara began, her voice carrying a mix of urgency and sincerity.

"But the prophecy I shared with you is real. I risked everything to bring you that warning."

Romelle studied Zara, searching for any hint of deception. The seer's eyes held a depth of conviction that gave Romelle pause.

"What do you mean, 'risked everything'?" Hunk asked, his concern evident.

Zara hesitated briefly before speaking. "There are forces at play, shadows that seek to silence the truth. By revealing the prophecy, I've made myself a target."

The gravity of Zara's words settled over the group, their initial skepticism giving way to a growing sense of understanding.

"We must trust her," Adam interjected, his voice steady. "Zara's visions have guided us before. We cannot dismiss her warning lightly."

Romelle nodded, her decision made. "Prepare to deploy. Zara, provide any additional insights you can as we move. We'll protect you, but we must act swiftly."

Zara nodded gratefully, her relief evident. "Thank you. The prophecy holds the key to our path forward."

"No" Keith interups turning to face Zara, "Lance holds the Key."

As the urgency of the situation pressed upon them, the Paladins quickly made their way to the hangar, where the mighty Lions awaited their call.

Allura, now piloting the Pink Lion in place of the absent Blue Lion, felt a sense of determination coursing through her veins.

The Lions roared to life as their pilots took their seats, each Paladin connecting with their respective Lion in a bond forged through trust and unity. 

"Let's move out," Keith declared, his voice carrying the authority of the Red Lion's pilot.


Romelle, Shay and Adam, aboard the Castle of Lions, monitored their progress and coordinated their efforts.

"The fishing village is just ahead," Romelle informed them through the communication channels. "Be prepared for anything."

As they approached the village, a scene of chaos unfolded below.

Dark ships hovered menacingly, their weapons trained on the unsuspecting villagers who scrambled for cover.

"We need to neutralize those ships," Pidge said, her fingers flying over the controls of the Green Lion.

"We'll cover you," Hunk added, guiding the Yellow Lion into position.

Allura, piloting the Pink Lion, took point, her determination fueling her actions. "I'll draw their fire. Stay close, everyone."

With precision and teamwork, the Paladins engaged the enemy ships, using the unique abilities of their Lions to outmaneuver and disable the attackers.

Allura's strategic maneuvers in the Pink Lion kept the enemy focused on her, allowing the other Lions to make decisive strikes.

"We're making progress," Hunk exclaimed, his voice tinged with excitement as he piloted the yellow Lion.

But just as victory seemed within reach, a larger, more formidable ship emerged from the depths of space, its dark silhouette casting a menacing shadow over the battlefield.

"We've got company," Shiro warned, his voice grim.

As the Paladins and their Lions engaged the enemy ships near the fishing village, a moment of hesitation gripped them.

Shiro, piloting the Black Lion, felt a surge of unease as he attempted to initiate the formation of Voltron, only to be met with resistance from the Lions.

"What's happening?" Shiro muttered, his brow furrowed in confusion as he tried again to synchronize their movements.

The other Paladins echoed his concern as they too attempted to form Voltron, but the Lions remained stubborn, their energy refusing to merge.

"It's not working," Pidge exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice as she tried to analyze the situation from the Green Lion.

Allura, piloting the Pink Lion, shared a concerned glance with Shiro. "The Lions are resisting. Something is blocking our connection."

Romelle's voice came through the communication channels, her tone urgent. "Stay focused. We'll find another way to defeat the enemy."

The Paladins quickly adjusted their strategy, fighting in their individual Lions with renewed determination.

Despite the inability to form Voltron, their teamwork and coordination kept them one step ahead of the enemy ships.

"We can do this without Voltron," Hunk declared, his voice steady as he maneuvered the Yellow Lion.

Shiro nodded, his focus on the battle at hand. "Keep pushing forward. Protect the village at all costs."

The Paladins and their Lions fought valiantly, each pilot tapping into their Lion's unique strengths to outmaneuver and disable the enemy ships.

As the battle raged on, Romelle worked tirelessly from the Castle of Lions, providing tactical support and coordinating their efforts.

Eventually, through a combination of skill, determination, and sheer willpower, the Paladins managed to drive off the enemy forces, securing victory and safeguarding the fishing village from further harm.

"We did it," Allura said, relief evident in her voice as she surveyed the aftermath of the battle.

"Somethings coming" Keith said through the coms, "I don't know what, but it will be like nothing ever before"

Allura looked up at the stars "Please Brother, if your not dead come home please"
