Headcanons the oneshot is based on:
- Zane had amnesia for at least a little bit after he was revived (okay so he probably didn't in the show, but Zane with amnesia is precious) (so I guess this is slight AU ish)
Three things. Only three parts of him remained after he was revived.
The first was his name. Zane. His name was Zane. God's gracious gift. That was what he meant. He had woken up alone, chained, a dragon made of ice destroying his slumber. It was horrifying, he had screamed. But the word Zane had come to his head. He wasn't sure how or why, but he had a feeling, a deep, emotional feeling, that Zane was his name. He was Zane.
The second was a voice, a soft gentle voice. The voice of a woman. Over time the ice dragon returned, each time he awoke, the cell had become gelid. Despite the frosty atmosphere, he felt strangely at home. Sometimes he would hear the voice, it felt close. Almost as if it were with him. She called him by his name. She comforted him.
The third were faces. Four faces. One brunette, a cocky smirk, amber eyes. A ginger, a scar on his eyebrow, a wide smile, eyes so blue. Shaggy hair black as coal, tired grey eyes, a smile so small it almost didn't exist. A blonde, a fake smile, eyes a faded green. Names. He couldn't put names to the faces. But he remembered the physical features vividly. They made him smile. Why?
He was alone, restrained, terrified. The ice dragon haunted him each time he shut his eyes. He struggled to remember, his amnesia restraining him. Zane, the voice, the faces, he repeated to himself. Zane, the voice, the faces. Zane, the voice, the faces. Zane, the voice, the faces.
This is super short because it was a warmup I wrote for my creative writing class! One of the prompts was writing about three significant things in your room or something and I changed it to something Zane related because why not?
also side note: my friend asked me why I said "fake smile" for Lloyd and my answer was "because his life sucks and he's sad" and I thought that was kind of funny but someonE PROTECT OUR SON !
