~Chapter 35: The Promise Given II~

Keith did his best to appear normal, still annoying Lance, being close to Shiro, asking Thace questions about the Marmora slate (he was sure his uncle would die if he knew what Alfor had given him) and what he had done everyday up until now. Watching the preparations to leave for Daibazaal Keith got a register how many would remain behind and that they would stay in the Capital to ease Coran's worry, Keith watched Shiro slowly strap his bags to Black's saddle and she stroke her head on him several times and looked up at Keith.

Red rumbled beside him as they walked away and Keith headed for the Red Garden where Allura's mice waited. "Did you switch them out?" Platt reveals the white rupee, then they made a charade that they had switched out the pendants and that she hadn't noticed anything.

"Good, now run off before she wonders." The mice climbed up on Red and she wandered off to find the princess.

Keith sighed and knelt by the Goddess Statue that was in every Paladin garden, little ones here and there in the towns, and the one in the Temple of Voltron.

You seek me Paladin of the Red Lion.

The omens speak true.

The darkness is rising beneath you.

'I want to protect them. I know the power of the Goddess goes to a member of the Royal Family, but I want to take her place.

Human to seal.

Galra to free.

It is a great risk, but noble act.

Calamity Ganon is a force one cannot defeat alone.

You promised those you love.

'How can I keep them if he rises? With the time I have I can prepare, and hopefully fulfill them one day.'

Know that I will seal the princess and the Paladins in sleep until then.

Losing you will cause great grief.

Yet I see you are not swaying from this choice.

'Goddess... Just-'

"Keith, I've looked all over for you." Keith turned to find Shiro there and when he looked forward there was a new bloom before him and quickly wiped out the Marmora slate as Shiro came over. "Huh, that's new... Can't remember I've seen it before."

"I haven't either. You ready to leave?"

Shiro looked tear eyed as Keith hugged him. "I know you will be with your uncle... But I want to stay with you or convince you to come with me."

"Shiro it's just a week and 3 days. You'll last that long, you have before we-"

"No I didn't and Matt was tormented by it until he blurred it out in front of you and I just wanted to kill him."

Keith sighed and led them to the courtyard as everyone was mounting horses and other mounts and climbed on wagons, Allura looked at them from beside her parents and then entered the carriage and after some debate Melenor dragged Lance inside with a yelp from him and Blue let Matt ride on her.

"Be careful on the road." Keith whispered.

"Please... Please you have to promise to be here when we come back..." Shiro choked and didn't move when Kolivan came up and stroke Keith's back. "Thace is going to remain with some Marmora and teach you more about the slate, but I want you to swear that nothing will happen to you while I'm gone..."

Okay where is that ravine. He's promised Shiro, Allura and the Paladins, Alfor and now Kolivan.

"I'll be fine. Now go you're holding everyone up."

The convoy started to move and Thace stood by Keith and Coran watching them leave and Keith saw Ulaz look at them the whole time until the gates shut and the sounds faded.

"They just made through the Gap to Daibazaal and Prince Lotor has met up with them." Coran came in the next morning during breakfast and set down his device. "Lotor is sad you could not join this year Keith but he understands your reason."

"Good because this thing is going out the window soon."

Thace chuckled as he reached for it and frowned. "Odd, you're missing some runes... I suppose Narlah wasn't done with them yet, she had run out of the material she uses to make them. I think the last went on repairing Antok's slate."

"Yeah I saw the mess it was when he came in, but better it then him."

"True. Alright I guess we can't do much on the rune part, how about we go over the compendium? Cross reference and maybe share what we have? I know Pidge and Allura have used it more then you."

Keith blep at him and they headed out soon after. Keith shifted and twitched his ears and looked at his reflection before running to keep up with Thace and Coran talked about the castle history again.

"Are there pathways under if we need them?"

"Why yes! And we just recently finished the tunnel to Kakariko too, the Blade of Marmora hollowed out the mountain around for more space if we need to hide."

Good. Keith wanted to prepare where he could and with a poof Kosmo appeared and whined. "Hey boy, shouldn't you be with mom?" Keith found the note on the collar and sighed. "I swear it's the sign up- it's the sign up." Keith had always done the sword competition every years since he hit the age to sign up. This time he burned it right in his hands.

"Sorry boy, not this year. Little busy." He pats Kosmo whom teleports out again with a whine.

"Why do you have these photos?"

Keith looked up and scanned them before shrugging. "Places we all were at, I don't know why Allura took them. Aren't you and Coran late for your meetup?"

"Ugh, you just had to remind me." Thace groans and heads out. Keith continues to read when he sense more then he should and sprang up.

He has almost awakened.

I am prepared to bring everyone to safety.

Allura's rupee glows and Keith looks at his right hand to see three small triangles, two beside and one on the top and in the middle is the V of Voltron.

That is a both the Triforce and Voltron's power.

The lions refuses to lose you.

The rupee will help you split.

Keith ran out and had just reached the throne room when everything started shaking and a loud roars was heard, darkness started appearing and malice dripped from the windows and Keith touched the gem.

'I'm sorry'
