The Son of Zarkon

Flashback

Lance's P.O.V.

It has been almost a little over a month since I last talked to Keith. Let alone seen him in person or over coms. Since the last time I saw him, I haven't been able to stop thinking about him and what I saw.

~Flashback One Month

We are all training in the training room when we hear Allura's worried voice come over the intercom. "Palladian this is an emergency Kolivan’s ship is making an emergency landing at the castle of lions."

As soon as she says that my heart stops as my thoughts go straight to Keith. Dropping my Bayard I raced down to the bay hanger with everyone else right behind me. When I get there, I come to a skidding stop when I see Kolivan and Regris helping an injured Keith off of the ship. Blood is dripping onto the floor from the nasty wound on his shoulder. But there is also blood dripping from his face as it oozes from a cut near his temple. Being barely conscious his eyes meet mine as we take him to where the healing pods are. But as soon as we start trying to put him in the healing pod he starts resisting. Struggling against us as he lets out an almost animalistic growl. "No no no! No healing pods!"

"Keith, you have a nasty wound to your shoulder and face and you're losing a lot of blood. You need the pod."

Meeting Allura's eyes he breathes heavily as he lets out another growl. Baring his teeth that now look more like fangs then his normal teeth. "I said," No healing pod."

His eyes turn from Allura to Shiro then to Regris, seeming to be searching. Before his graze locks onto Kolivan. Kolivan's eyes soften under Keith's steady graze. That seems to tell him something only Kolivan seems to understand. "Alright no healing pod."

"What, but he is injured and by the looks of it he has lost a lot of blood."

Pidge glares at Kolivan, not agreeing with his decision. Not to say that I agree with his decision either. Keith looking deathly pale and how he is still awake is a mystery to me. Carefully they bring Keith over to the exam table. Letting out a grunt Keith gets on it and lays down on his back as a sigh leaves him. Once he is settled Allura gets ready to start tending to his wounds. Allura goes to start removing his Marmora armor when Kolivan stops her. His eyes flash to Hunk, Pidge, and myself.

Looking down at Keith her eyes widen as she seems to be reminded of something. Pulling her hands away from Keith's armor she looks at the both of us. "Hunk, Pidge, Lance, can you wait outside while we tend to his wounds."

I want to argue and open my mouth to do so. But I decide against it for Keith's sake, closing my mouth as I turn around and leave the room. Heading to the lounge room to wait for them to finish their work.

Allura's P.O.V.

When Hunk Pidge and a very reluctantly worried Lance leave, Shiro starts working on removing Keith's armor with Kolivan's help. While I start tending to the cut going along his temple trying to get the bleeding to stop. When they remove the armor over the long grey shirt Shiro freezes. While Kolivan continues to remove the long grey shirt. Applying pressure to the wound I glance over at Shiro to see what is holding his attention.

Following his graze, I try to see what made him freeze. But when I see what he is looking at I end up freezing as well. Wrapped around his waist is what I at first thought was a sash only for it to turn out to be a long black sleek furry tail. Along with that Kolivan reveals that there are even more furry purple splotches covering his body. Most of his torso now being covered in purple Galra skin then human flesh. Even though I have a hatred for Galras there is no way I could hate Keith. My hatred and anger goes to the Galras that willingly serve the empire. As we are now allies with the Blade of Marmora. Shaking my thoughts away I can’t help but worry at how this change has been affecting Keith. Especially now that he has a tail that is a bit of a big change and not something too common is Galras. It is something that is considered very rare for someone who is pure Galra.
