I'm not a Shance fan or anything but I made this drawing for someone and just felt like sharing (the image above was created by me). I plan to draw my cover one day when I get the time. If you have any suggestions of what i should include in the drawing just comment and let me know. The story is finally getting more serious. Don't worry I'll try to lighten the mood at some point since I do make you all suffer with the angst. Yeah, I am crying about it to. These boiz have a mind of their own. I didn't proof read since I was too tired lol sorry

        Stepping into his own lion only moments ago, Keith held his position in his piloting chair. It was so cold, so unused and the very notion made the red paladin feel even more behind in the conquest of defeating one of the most powerful rulers in the universe. The inner lights were dimmed as he waited to power on his lion completely. He had to make sure everyone was as far away from the central control room as possible. He'll need a lot of time to execute this plan of his, of course, getting no one else involved. Keith wholeheartedly believed he caused enough pain for all of the paladins and running off isn't one of his best ideas, but it was the only thing he knew how to do correctly. After storming off like he had would make Shiro suspicious, therefore, this predicament narrowed his time to about five minutes, that is if he wanted to get away without noticing.

        One hand lay on the controls as another flipped through tabloids of information as to where he could find the best place to land in Keres territory without being attacked. Surely it would be hard enough trying to hide a big red lion flying in the air. She would stick out like a sore thumb. As much as Keith wanted to stroll in guns blazing and swords drawn, he knew he had to act more diplomatic. He'd have to hone in on his inner Allura which was just a very small very microscopic sliver of his personality, very deep down. Lance has been making him do things he had never even thought were possible in the context of Keith's personality.

    "Stop it," he muttered to himself not wanting the brown haired paladin to be stuck in his head the whole time he carried out his personal mission.

    Even if his face was beautiful and his smile, oh god his smile-. Keith growled and shook his head aggressively before scrolling faster through three different feeds at the same time. At the moment all of those who occupied the castle were in the room with Lance, eating food like a big family. A family Keith was welcomed into by fate itself. He swiped the Castle of Lions feed to the side before pulling up coordinates to the outskirts of the Cybelion castle.

        He snatched his helmet and slid it down over his head before looking down at his outfit. His armor that held knicks and scratches. Taking a deep breath of stale helmet air with shut eyes, he caressed the side of Lance's jacket that he slid on over his defense against this berserk scheme. Though his hands were gloved, he could mentally feel the rough buttons that lay at the pocket and the texture of the green material that felt close to that of jeans. His eyes ran rapid behind his eyelids like a wave with no remorse. His heart clenched in his chest as he squeezed the material while letting out a shaky pant of affliction.

    The sounds of the sea droned on as it blocked his hearing. He only heard the crash of waves on the sand and the howling winds holding a pelting sea spray. His eyes shot open and his lion powered on as he let out a yell of frustration and carried the lion upward towards the sky. Red too roared with her designated paladin as this joint effort was to stop this nonsense of two races.

        Alarms started screaming with him but it was all but too late for anyone to get in contact with Keith. He flipped a switch overhead turning off his location and set out to find a companion for his journey to the far side of the planet.
