13 Years Ago

"Ah-wu-wa, I'm thirsty... " a honey haired 3 year old tapped on her older sister by the shoulder as she got up feeling uncomfortable. Her sister let out a slight moan and rubber her eyes as she got up to tend to her sibling.

Walking through the halls covering themselves in their plush blankets, Allura the older sibling, guided her sister Katie.

"We're almost there Katie," As they made their way pass by their father's chambers, they jolted in fright by the sound of a loud bang.

"I will not let you get away with this Zarkon!" yelled Don Samuel. Allura pulled the door slightly to take a peek as well as Katie who knelt down.

Lord Zarkon grabbed a hold of Don Samuel's neck and threw him back at the wall, hacking blood out of his mouth.

"You think hiding behind Alfor will keep you and your family safe forever? Think again, once I get rid of you and your family, both the Holt's and the house of Altea will be wiped off the history of Naxzela."

Don Samuel held onto his fresh wound as he stared at the traitor with anger. He had to keep his daughter... Their daughter safe.

Katie didn't understand what was going on and held onto Allura's hand. She could sense the fear on her sister's body as she shakes uncontrollably. Lord Zarkon unsheathed his blade and said,

"If it makes you feel any better, I could kill them in their sleep."

"P-papa. " The men suddenly turned their attention to the door and found two frighten little girls eavesdropping. Lord Zarkon let his guard down and gave Don Samuel the opportunity to push the him away from the girls.

"Allura, Katie get out of here!" The father yelled as loud as he can. Lord Zarkon gave out a huge growl and stabbed Don Samuel from behind.

The girls witnessed the brutal scene. Blood splattering the whole room and the screams of agony was enough to kick the older sister's catatonic state as she dragged her sister away from the situation.

They ran as fast as they could through the once comforting halls, desperately finding a way to escape. Allura finally made her way to the servant's corner which was a hidden door that only the servants and their family knows about. She pushed a hidden tile from the walls and quickly tosses her sister inside the small opening then herself. Allura swiftly and silently closes the sliding wall then shielded Katie.

Katie silently whimpers as Allura tried to calm her down.

"Be strong Katie please!" she whispered desperately. Allura could her Lord Zarkon's footstep lurking outside. She carried Katie with her hand holding the young ones mouth and quickly took her slippers off, running away from the impending danger.

The servant's hall was pitch black and only the memory of its way out was Allura's last resort. The poor child only ran in complete adrenaline with a sobbing Katie clinging onto her neck. Within the darkness she felt a tight pull on her nightgown. Letting out a small yelp she was silence with a hand over her mouth.

"Allura!" a familiar voice called out to her soothingly. Allura's entire body started to shake furiously and tears as well as sweat drenched her gown.

"Father, " she cried as Lord Alfor held both girls in his arms. He left a sigh of relief and thank the gods for their safety.

"I'm sorry, but we must go. It's not safe here. " he looked at Katie and kissed her forehead.

"I'm so sorry Samuel... " he whispered. Lord Alfor carried the girls and ran to a different route. Outside was a black winged Laith waiting for them to make their escape. Lord Alfor covered the girls away from the scene with his cape as they hopped on his stead. The winged feline stretched out his wings and race it's way to the edge of the cliff to take flight. In a matter of seconds, they were 100 ft off the ground. There, the Lord of Altea witnessed the entire mansion up in flames. His heart sank as he held onto his godchild. The Holt's are gone just as well as the House of Altea and thus the era of the Galra was born.
