Prologue

The ache spreading through her was enough to send the normally strong woman into an onslaught of tears. A wailing scream tore from her throat as she fisted her hands into the sheets underneath her. Another pain shot through her, and she squeezed her eyes closed with labored pants falling from her lips.

Her hands trembled as she held onto the sheets with every ounce of strength she had. Another scream fell from her dry lips, only for this one to become shadowed by a high-pitched cry.

Finally… after what had felt like an eternity, she was able to breathe somewhat normally again. Her pointed ears focused on the sound of crying, and she perked up the best she could in search of the source. Her blue eyes landed on the medic holding the child, and she held her arms out in a silent demand for her baby.

"Give him to me," she forced out, ignoring the scratchy dryness of her throat. The medic had no choice other than to listen to the Altean princess and Galra Empress, and he handed the newborn over to his mother. He walked the short distance to her side and deposited the child into her waiting arms. Not long after, he stepped away and went to focus elsewhere.

Kagome held her son to her bosom, cradling him close as she smiled a tired smile at him. She eventually got him to silence his wails. When he did, he looked up at her as she gently trailed her fingers over his face.

"You're beautiful," she whispered as she bent forward as best she could to press her lips against his forehead in a tender kiss. "My darling son," she hummed, "my Lotor."

She knew he was too far gone, and she knew to oppose him in this state wasn't a good idea, but she still did it.

"You cannot do this, Zarkon," she stated in a cold tone. The pink jewel around her neck took on a radiant shine as a matching glow surrounded her hands. "I won't allow you to destroy the universe."

"You can't stop me," he responded without any care in his voice. His glowing eyes landed on her, and he watched the way she tensed out of fear and unease. "If you get in my way, I will have no other choice than to kill you."

"Tch…" she glared at him despite the fear she felt. She wasn't going to let him ruin this entire universe… she wasn't going to let him corrupt their son- her son. "You give me no other choice than to fight you!" She was no stranger to evil such as this- she had vivid memories of her life on earth so long ago. The sword in her hand glittered softly with her energy and aura. "I don't care what you do to me," she hissed.

Those words were the last she uttered to him as she ran towards him with her sword prepared to strike. She lodged it into his shoulder, only to give a gasp when his hand curled around her slender neck. He lifted her as her sword vanished and threw her into the wall behind them. She hit the metal with a loud cry, and she landed in a crumpled position with her white hair fanning out around her.

Her memory of that moment faded into nothing, the last thing she was capable of remembering was Zarkon standing over her with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Dear sister."

Kagome blinked a few times as she finally returned to a conscious state. As she opened her eyes, she realized that she was held securely in the arms of her elder brother and king over Altea, Alfor. She moved a bit, and he gently placed her back on her feet before extending a worried look to her. Standing behind him were Coran and Allura.

"I… I couldn't stop him," she said as she hit the floor with her shoulders slumped. "I tried, but-"

"I did not think you could," he said. Kagome looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. "I don't think there is anything that could return him to who he once was. There is no undoing this."

The pain in her chest only got worse as he said those words. Kagome lifted a hand and curled it around the pink jewel hanging from the string around her neck. The tears in her eyes broke free, the steams trailing past her light purple markings.

As Alfor chose to hide the lions from Zarkon, even though Allura pleaded to the option of fighting, he put her to sleep and set her in a cryo-pod first. He looked to her next, only to freeze in his steps when she shook her head vigorously.

"I must retrieve Lotor from him," she said. "I cannot leave my son with him now that he's become that."

"Kagome, I beg of you to go with Allura. She will need you when she wakes again," Alfor approached her and gently gripped her arms to keep his sister from backing away. "I will seek to recover your son from Zarkon, but, please, go with her."

Her eyes softened at hearing him, and she gave a reluctant nod. "I will do as you ask, Alfor, but, please…. Don't let Zarkon hurt Lotor. Please get my son from him."

"I will give everything I am to do so," he said with a promise in his voice. "Farewell, my sister," he whispered as he put her under, too.

She was placed in the pod next to Allura, and he turned to Coran.

He knew what he had to do- just in case. His memories and a copy of his consciousness would be stored in the Castle of Lions. Should he die…

"Coran, will you help me?" Alfor shook his head to clear his mind and asked the last one there with him. He looked back at Coran as he waited for his answer.

"Of course, King Alfor."
