Christmas on Crydor
Chapter 1: Two Weeks Before Christmas
It was a cold night, on Planet Crydor, that was a given, it was always cold on this almost barren Planet. Sven had adapted to the weather as best as he could, for he wanted to watch his infant son, Erik, grow up and the cold was the only thing that he knew of to slow the Haggarium-based infection's progression. He was now alone, left with his thoughts and what little belongings he had with him. Among those belongings was a photo of Princess Romelle on the day their baby boy was born. It had been Janurary when this took place. To Sven it felt as if a lifetime had passed since then, but it had only been almost a year.
That day was when his life changed forever. Since then, Erik had moved with him on the frozen planet, been kidnapped, and transported to Arus, where Nanny was undoubtedly caring for him. Now a tear rolled down Sven's cheek as he held the photograph. It seemed he had lost everything, his wife, his son, his life. He wished, he only wished that someome would come visit him, if only for a while, if only. He drifted off to sleep with the dream that he would eventually see his family again. He missed them greatly.
Around midnight, a state of the art interstellar communication device beeped profusely, waking Sven after a few minutes.
"This is Sven." He said, his accent thick.
"Sven, I have an antedote for you. We're coming to get you tomorrow morning." Pidge said.
"Please, bring my son with you." Sven said.
"No Problem, Sven. I'll let Allura know." Pidge said.
A few minutes later, there was a loud crash just outside of the small house. Sven ran outside to see a small figure stumbling from the wreckage and past the assorted debris. It was dark, but he could see the sillouette by the flashlight he held in his hand. The small figure stumbled and fell to the ground, unconsious. He couldn't see her face, so he carried her to the house built by the original settelers of Crydor. he was truely amazed when he saw her face.
The woman was beginning to wake as Sven sat across the room, she screamed when she finally woke. Sven stood and crossed the room, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"It's alright, you're safe here." Sven said.
His accent was thick, yet his voice was somehow comforting to the woman. She calmed down and wiped the tears from her eyes.
" S-Sven, is that you?" The woman stammered.
"Yes, it's me Romelle. Calm down." Sven said.
A smile spread accross Romelle's face as she threw her arms around Sven's neck, hugging him tightly. Sven wrapped his arms around Romelle's waist, kissing her lightly on the cheek.
"Where is Erik?" Romelle asked.
"He's on Arus with the Voltron Force." Sven replied.
"When will they be here?" Romelle asked.
"Tomorrow Morning. Pidge found a Haggarium antidote." Sven replied.
Romelle said," That's amazing, maybe you'll get to come home."
"I hope so, I miss being truely warm. Most of all, I miss you and Erik." Sven cried.
Romelle hugged him saying," Sven, don't cry, remember, Erik will be here tomorrow. Pidge's antidotes always work."
Sven knew she was right, he just didn't know how to react. He layed in the bed with his arms wrapped around his wife and the two drifted off to sleep.
