chapter 4: battles on waters

"Queen Allura, give me back my son" a galran soldier begged to her on all four.

"This is our legal agreement, and I cannot return your son, he is also half Altean" queen Allura told coldly to the galran soldier.

"Please! Queen Allura, this is a very controversial action in the galran kingdom!" The soldier said.

"One of your whores using my father is controversial?"

"MY WIFE WAS NOT A WHORE!" The galra screamed, guards ran up to the man and held him back by his shoulders.

"You dirty queen! He'll realize his fate soon enough!" The galra cursed.

"Please take this galran out of the kingdom immediately" Allura commanded the two soldiers.

"Yes our queen!"

"You'll never stop him! He'll find out soon enough! DON'T FORGET THAT!" The galra screamed and hollered, the more he screamed the bigger he seemed to get, his ragged clothes were tearing at its seams and corners. "FOR KING ZARKON!" The galra shouted, he threw both of the guards off of him and ran at the queen.

"Coran.laser" was all Allura needed to say for Coran, the families royal assistant, to fire one of their secret weapons they have been working on for centuries.

A laser beam, the only source to stop the galran empire.

"GraaaaaAAAAAAAH!" The galra howled his fluffy ears and furry body were starting to smoke andw crisp. The laser stopped and the galra fell to the floor barely alive, twitching and bleeding from missing spots of purple skin.

"Let that be a lesson for trying to harm me and my son" Allura said in a menacing tone. Coran walked to his queens side and placed a gentle hand on her stiff shoulders.

"My lady Allura.. when will you tell him the truth?" Coran asked, not moving his hand from his spot apon her now slumped shoulders. "He deserves to know his true origins"

"I know Coran I know, just.." she swallowed a lump that was collecting in her throat "give me time.." Allura finally whispered from her giant throne. She placed her hand on the large cane next to her. "Oh father..how I miss you.." she seemed to cry once Coran left her to her own self pity and thoughts.

"Keith! Keith my prince! Let's go out boating again!" Coran said excitedly from one side of a giant door. Only a few things could be heard, someone falling and a book slamming shut. In no time flat a young Prince was standing in the door way in front of Coran.

"Really!?" Keith said happily, it always made Keith get a twinkle in his eye when Coran mentioned going boating. Ever since he was a wee lad Keith loved the ocean, always saying that he swore he'd 'marry the sea itself one day!'.

"Ohoho, then let's hurry before the sun licks our backsides when we return!" Coran riddled Keith. Keith bolted out of his room after grabbing many assortment of books and papers.

"Keith my boy! Peaceful not to let lady Allura see you!" Coran chuckled as he watched the young Prince race down the hall with a skip in his step. Coran walked down the hall idle-like with his hands politely behind his back.

"Head Coran, may thou have a word with thy?" A shy young maid said, her long dress hiding her tough skin.

"Oh well if it isn't lovely shay, how are the balmera doing?" Coran asked the stocky young maid.

"Oh, thou's homeland? Thy are doing fine, thou wished to speak of thee about the current gossip of that land, thee balmera wish to join thou kingdom of Altea in the war against thy galra" Shay spoke in a way much to polite and old for the time.

"Oh my shay, I know your native tongue is still important, but please for the safety of Prince Keith please speak in the proper Altean term of words" Coran softly pleaded to the balmeran maid.

"O-oh! Thou is sorry for- I am sorry for thou- my mistake!" Shay fumbled on her words. She wistfully pulled away from the area and ran to do her duties.

"The balmera are finally with us" Coran said thoughtfully.

"Coran! Coran! I've got everything set up let's go!" Keith waved his hands, his arms full of maps and books.

"Come on hunk!" Lanced shouted, Lance was racing in circles around hunk, who had the job to bring all the big bags full of findings, Such as glass bottles or crates.

"L-lance.., please slow down.." hunk heaved heavily, "it's hard to swim with all this stuff" he complained.

"Don't be so moody! We still have to go to the human cave!" Lance said excitedly. He raced and twirled his bright blue tail around and swam ahead of hunk. The day had gone by so quickly, first they went around the city and talked to his friends an the lady's. They next went and watched a play dedicated to him and his lineage of royal mer-folk. The last thing was to go look at old human ships, there they found all the crates and bottles.

It had turned to the later of evening and they were coming to an end of their day. "Come one Hunk! The days almost over!" Lance shouted as he raced closer and closer to the surface. Lance popped his head up only to be bombarded with splashes of water and a cold waft of air blowing his wet hair. There had been a storm going on above the sea.

"But.." Lance looked so dissipated and dissolved of his happiness in moments. He looked around more in confusion. He sighed and looked down, he was about to dive back down till he heard a yell from a ship being attacked. Lance looked up lazily and watched the ship fall apart.

"Lance!" Hunk yelled after popping up behind lance "wha-wha! Oh! Lance! It's almost sunset we need to go!" Hunk shouted. The hard patter of the rain was draining out hunks voice, all Lance heard was the scream of a human, to be specific it was the human he had a supposed 'rivalry' with.
