Chapter 12

Pidge Pov

I passed corridor after corridor, on my way to goodness knows where. The guard who's leading me along these winding paths, stops suddenly near a door.

"Here we are. Your room. Hope you enjoy your short stay with us." He's smirking evilly as if he knows I won't last until the end of the trials. I smile politely back at him and thank him for showing me my room.

The room is huge with a king sized bed in the center. A purple fire is roaring in a hearth and an on-suite is situated on the right side of the room. On the bed in a small console. It looks a bit like a laptop but it's about as small as an iPad mini. I open it, curious to know what it is.

"Welcome, Pidge. The green Paladin of Voltron. What can I help you with?" I stare at the screen for a second and then decide to ask it some questions that he'd been filling my mind.

"How many Lions of Voltron are there?"

"There are seven. You know of five of them. But two have been hidden and not heard of in deca-phoebes. Your friend, Allura, would know about them." I can't believe it. Either both the question-answer-er and the girl who I had to fight, Sena, were lying or they were telling the truth. I also didn't like the idea that Allura had hidden so much information from us. I decide to ask it a few questions that I already know the answer to. Just to see if it's telling the truth.

"Who is the current Paladin of the Black Lion?"

"The current Paladin of the Black Lion is Keith Kogane."

"Who is my brother?"

"Your brother is Matt Holt, one of the passengers that flew in the Kerberos Mission." I decide to trust it. Both of the questions answered were true.

"What are the other Lions of Voltron that I do not know about?" It takes a few seconds for the machine to answer. When it does, it gives me more than enough information about the other two lions.

"The other two Lions are less known to the universe. One if the Lion of Magic, the Gold Lion. The last time he was seen was near the end of the first Galran and Altean war. The other was the Silver Lion of time. This Lion was also last seen just before the end of the Galran and Altean war. Both are missing and their whereabouts almost unknown. Only one person knows where these two Lions are.

Their old Paladins were siblings. The Silver Lion was piloted by a Galran boy who lost his life trying to save his sister. He had the power to bend time, meaning he was very powerful.

His sister was also a Paladin. She piloted the Gold Lion and was quite remarkable. She had almost any magic ability you could think of. The only power she didn't posses was the power over time, which her bother posed. Together, they were un-defeat-able. Of course, you probably are wondering how she has that much power and why she's so over powered. I, however, cannot answer that but I think you'll find out one day." I'm curious about this OP girl and definitely know she'd be a dangerous enemy and a very helpful ally. 

"These other two Lions are picky and will only be piloted by someone who posses these powers. If no one posses these powers, the Lions will disappear. They will only reappear when the right Paladin is near."

I was amazed. There were two more Lions that could be used to help defeat the Galra. The only requirement was that the pilot had to have some sort of magic powers.

"I see you've found out about the other Lions." I turn quickly to see Sena standing in the doorway. She must've let herself in uninvited. I scowl at her and she shakes her head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't ask for you to be in my room." My voice is hard and she must sense that I don't want her company. She holds her hands up in surrender and backs a bit.

"I'm sorry Pidge. I just came to tell you what your next trial is and when it is. If you don't want to know, I can leave." I immediately feel bad.

"Sorry. I guess I'm not good with Galrans yet. They're kinda are holding me hostage right now so you must understand. Well, I hope you understand." She nods her head and takes a tentative step forward. When I don't move, she gets closer.

"You know, you're quite good with those twin blades. I like to use twin blades too. In a way, we're similar in that part." I just nod, not really sure why she's starting with small talk.

"Sena, can you just get to the point?"

"Sorry. Your next trial is in two quintants. So not tomorrow, but the day after. I don't know what it is yet but I'll tell you when I know. I'll leave you to get rest." She stands and I suddenly feel like asking her a couple of questions. Ones that I don't think the machine would or could answer.

"Sena, why am I doing these trials? Also, who is making me do them?" Sena looks at me sadly and I get a sinking feeling.

"I do not know why you're doing these trials or who is making you do them. But I would stop them if I could. Unlike my other Galra brethren, I wish for Voltron to win. But I am too much of a coward to go to join the Blade. And yes, I know about the Blade of Marmora." I guess she adds this part because I must have a shocked expression on my face at the mention of the Blade.

"How... how did you know about the Blade? They're a secret. Are you sure no one heard you mention them just then?" She laughs.

"I know about plenty of things, more than you'd know. I hear things around the castle. And being small, I can get away with it. Anyway, I know no one is listening at the door. I would sense them there. Trust me." I'm skeptical but I know my only choice is to trust her. So I do. Which, I know, might be a big mistake one day and it might blow up in my face. But I don't have another choice to take.
