I will say, for my first fic, this one sort of turned out pretty well. I don't really like the ending, because it's a little confusing, but the rest of it is pretty good, in my opinion. I'm proud of this fic, and I hope you'll like it as much as I had fun writing it. If you have any feedback, please put it in the comments! I really want to improve my writing, and constructive criticism and feedback really help!

As a member of the Blade of Marmora, Keith was able to visit many places, even if he couldn't call any of them home.

His favourite places included Arus, where his adventure with Voltron and the Lions began.

It also included Olkaria, the new planet inhabited by the Olkari, after Olkarion was destroyed.

There was also the new Daibazaal and the new Altea, which had been recreated after the entire 'Honerva's realities' ordeal a few years ago.

But his favourite place to visit, by far, had to be Earth.

He enjoyed visiting his old shack in the desert, the only place he knew for a very long time.

He liked to visit the Garrison, to see how the Holts and the rest of the staff were doing.

He would also drop in to see Shiro. He was like a brother to him, so he insisted that Keith should come over every time he came back to Earth.

And, although he would never admit it, he particularly liked going to see the McClain family farm, for reasons you can guess.

A knock on the door announced his arrival.

"Oh, good afternoon, Keith," answered Mrs. McClain. "Lance is in his room. Please, come inside."

Keith nodded, and stepped through the door.

This wasn't any different from what normally happened when he came to visit, so he knew what to expect.

"Keith! Keith!" yelled the child stampede from down the hall.

As expected, they came roaring down the hall, jumping up and down, demanding to know what super-cool alien adventures he had been on since the last time he'd seen them.

"Not really anything exciting, unless you count the giant Weblum that tried to swallow us whole!" Keith said, in an attempt to tell a story to impress them.

"A Weblum?" "How'd you get away?" "Did he eat you?" came some questions from the kids.

Keith had gotten better at socializing with children since he started visiting the McClains more often.

There were only a few simple rules to it. One, don't make them upset. Two, keep them happy and they'll love you. Three, don't reject that love.

"Yeah, it was no big deal. It only crushed about half the Marmoran fleets," he continued, knowing that the cliffhanger would make them want to hear the whole story.

Obviously, there was no Weblum that tried to swallow them whole, or crushed half their fleets, but kids love a good story, so Keith sat down at the kitchen table and began his tale.

"So there I was, leaving a planet suffering from a drought after supplying them with enough water for a year, when all of a sudden, Wham! A Weblum comes out of nowhere, catches two ships in its mouth, and not three seconds later, they're gone into the Weblum's stomach.
