The Gray Lion? [Keith X Reader]

Chapter 7

Keith's POV:

I was walking down the corridors as I was going to put her in a room. I looked down at her as I was holding her bridal style. I saw her small nose that looked like a button and her long lashes.

"What are you? Who are you? Can I really trust you?" as I said that I looked up and was almost to her new room.

Then I felt her move and I stopped. I looked down at her but she just cuddled closer to my body. I felt my face burning up and started walking faster to get to her room.

Damn it... Why is she doing this... She looks cute... No Keith! You're just glad that she doesn't look like she's in pain anymore...

As I was brought out of my thoughts we made it to her room. She was next to Lance and across from my room.

If only she was next to my room... Keith Kogane get your head together.

As I thought that I shook my head and went into her room. I placed her down gently and put the blanket over her as she looked cold. With that I walked towards the door. I turned around once and then left her to sleep peacefully.  

Author's POV:

*Chirp Chirp Chirp*

You were starting to shuffle in your sleep. You slowly fluttered your eyes opened and brought your hands up to rub your eyes. You looked around only to notice that you were surrounded by all different color of flowers again. 

"This again? Why do I keep dreaming this?"

You see the small girl run past you like before. She was smiling and giggling as she was running around in a field of colorful flowers.

"I'm going to catch you!~"

All of a sudden you felt a sharp needle piercing your head again but instead of one needle it was a million more. It kept hurting and it felt like a tattoo machine with a million needles stabbing your brain as it was creating a 14 hour long tattoo on your brain. 

"F*ckkkk~" You grabbed your hair trying pull on it to ease the pain by giving it a different place to focus your pain but it wasn't working and it wasn't going away at all. As you try to take another step you couldn't handle it anymore and squatted down. As you looked up, the scene changed. You weren't in a field of green grass and rainbow color flowers anymore. Instead you were now in a desert area. You see the people that was playing with the the little you protecting you from father and mother again. But as you blinked it changed positions again and this time it was mother and father protecting you away from the nice people that turned evil. The pain was becoming even more excruciating which was making the scene that you were seeing sort of glitch back and forth.

"AHHHHH!" You screamed as you looked down because you couldn't hold it in the pain anymore. 

"You better not lay a finger on her." As you heard that you looked up to see Haggar and another woman switching places and yelling at the same time. It sounded like they were saying it in unison. You were confused on what was happening and why you were seeing those horrible people protecting and than it would be mother and father. It made no sense to you. 

~~~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~~~

Allura's POV:

"Father, why have you never inform me about the Gray Lion?" I asked as I looked at his hologram. 

"How did you know about the Gray Lion?" My father asked as he looked shocked.

"Voltron showed us all a vision of the Gray Lion and that it is meant to go in the chest. How is that possible Father?"

"I see... that must mean..." As my father said that he put his hand on his face furrowed his eyebrows together. 

"What does this mean Father? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked desperately.

"Allura, I did not create the Lions... There is someone else that have created the Lions. Her name is Ayala, she was a friend of your mother."

"Mother's friend? Have I ever met her before? Is she Altean?" I asked as I was now confused since we all thought that my father created the Lions and i can't remember meeting mother's friend named Ayala. 

"You haven't met her before since she disappeared after she created the lions which you were not born yet. She's not Altean, Allura. She's Quintesscean."

"Quintesscean? What's kind of people are they?"

"She is born from Quintessence itself. Your mother met her one day when she crashed into the field of juniberries. At first Ayala did not trust your mother since others used her for the power. Until they slowly got closer and became best friends after. I got to know her after I married your mother. Soon, I found out that she was made from pure Quintessence but kept it a secret since that was her wish.  I also found that she came to planet Altea with the Gray Lion. I learned that the Gray Lion is only able to be controlled if the person is able to control quintessence and has the heart to protect whatever they love. She had created the Gray Lion at her home but she was not able to go back."

"Is that even possible? Why was she not able to go back?"

"I wan't able to believe it until she showed me. As for her going back home I never asked. So she lived in Altea, no one knew that she was a Quintesscean as she fit in. Later down the road, the Trans-Reality comet hit the planet Daibazaal. I had no idea what it was until Ayala informed me about it and I asked her if she could create more Lions with it so that we can make a giant robot that can defend any danger that comes. Of course she disagreed since she knew the consequences that came with creating such a powerful weapon. But I was able to convince her enough and she created the 5 lions."

"Then why lie to everyone that you had made it?"

"She asked me to. She didn't want people to find out what she is and learn that she was the one to create them. In order accept her wishes, I have told them that I have made it. She taught me everything about the lions and then told me that I can form Voltron without her Lion. Yet, I wanted her to be apart of it since it was her lions.  She refused but I told her that she won't have to fight and only when we needed her the most if  she can help. She agreed. She was the heart of Voltron, she gave Voltron strength and with her we were able to form Voltron at it's ultimate power. Without her Voltron can still form but it was not as strong. As time went on, she met the rest of the paladins and got along well with them. But they didn't know about the Gray Lion. Then she disappeared with the Gray Lion, no one knew what happened to her. Your mother was worried sick about her best friend and we tried looking for her every where. We were not able to find her. That's when the darkness came from the reality rift..." As my father was continuing to talk, we were interrupted by a knock. 

*Knock Knock Knock*

 I turn my head as the door opened and see Coran bowing his head. 

"I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion but Princess Allura, we need you to discuss the plan about how to save the Balmera." Coran said that as he bowed and then he left the room quietly. 

"You must go my daughter." He looked at me with a smile.

"But father..."

"I can tell you more in detail about the Gray paladin and her Lion but you have tasks to do first my only daughter." As my father said that he touched my right cheek and I grabbed his holographic hand.

"Alright, father...."

With that I left the room and started walking into the control room.

So Father didn't create the Lions... Is it possible that I can be one of the paladins then?
