Miracle
Chapter 5
Keith was getting stronger every day. . He continued to appear to Allura every night. After three weeks, he was able to stand. He began walking 4 days later. Each day he improved he noticed something new about the planet. First, there were a few more trees. Then he noticed insects. Finally he started seeing birds and other animals. He began finding food to eat on his own but every day his longing to be home grew stronger.
At three days shy of five weeks he made his way to Black Lion. He found the key and instantly the door opened to him. Before he climbed aboard he looked around for Philana. She was right behind him. He turned around and looked at her. He smiled.
"I don't know how to begin to thank you." He said thankfully.
Philana replied "I do what is asked of me through faith. You should be thanking your friends I am only a servant of God. I really should be thanking you."
"Me? Why?" He asked.
"Look around you, Keith. This planet was dead until your friends' faith and yours as well saved it."
Keith was perplexed. "Our faith did this? How?"
Philana told her story. "There were once people on this planet but they didn't take care of it. No one here had faith and no one cared so this planet died. When you came here and your friend prayed for you it gave God impetus to bring this place back to life. Now you know what I meant by fruition."
Keith looked around in awe. "Now I understand. Will it stay this way?"
"Yes it will unless people with ill intention come and destroy it."
"I will make sure that doesn't happen." Replied Keith "I don't know how, but I will."
"Thank you." She smiled. "It is time for you to go."
"Yes" He smiled delightedly. She gave him a big hug and he climbed aboard his ship.
Before he took off, Keith placed himself into his trance-like state to communicate with Allura telepathically. However for some reason he could not reach her. He felt a little worried but he knew he was heading home so he decided to leave.
On Arus, Allura was starting to feel unsure of herself. It had been 2 days since she had last heard form Keith. He had been communicating with her every night, so this was unusual. She was staring outside at the pedestal where Black Lion was kept when Lance walked into the room.
"Hey, Allura any word from Keith last night?" He questioned.
"No, Lance and I'm very afraid something has happened to him." Allura replied tearfully.
She continued. "I've prayed every night and every day. Why haven't I heard from him?"
"Maybe he's on his way back and he can't talk to you." Lance suggested
"He would use his communicator on the Lion if he was, Lance." She said sternly.
"Maybe something's wrong with the communicator." He suggested again.
Allura became annoyed; not so much at Lance but at the situation.
"Oh...I don't know." She said in frustration and started for the door.
Lance stopped her. "Where are you going?" He asked.
"I am going outside and waiting- In case he comes back today." She answered.
"Are you going to sit out there all day, Allura?" He asked another question.
"Are you going to ask me questions all day?" Allura answered Lance with a question.
"I'm sorry; I'm just concerned for you. What can I do for you?" he said.
Allura replied. "First, you can stop with the questions. Second you can bring my lunch to me later. I'll be outside on that hill over there. I'll be back by nightfall if he doesn't return today."
"Ok, as you wish!" He said as she walked out the door.
Allura waited on the hill all day for Keith's return. Night fell and she returned to the castle to sleep. Actually, she cried herself to sleep. The next day she did the same thing. She began losing some faith thinking that seeing him was a figment of her imagination. However, she still decided to wait for him even on the fourth day. Night began to fall along with her spirits. This night Lance, Hunk, and Pidge all decided to retrieve her and convince her that it was time to say goodbye.
"Allura," Lance began "It's time."
"This can't be right!" Allura exclaimed.
"Allura, were here for you." Hunk said very concerned.
"We love you." Pidge said sadly.
Allura cried as the sun began to set when she heard a rumbling sound coming over the horizon.
She stood up straight and looked in the direction of the sound as did the others. There he was-a silhouette of Black Lion!
"Oh MY GOD!!" they all cried out in unison.
The Black Lion landed right in front of them shaking the ground slightly and knocked Allura off her feet.
Keith walked out of the lion limping slightly. He walked over to where the team was standing. He was looking thinner and a little scruffy from not being able to shave, but he looked like he had figured a way to clean himself up a bit. The first person he walked up to was Allura. He took her by the hands and helped her to her feet. She was a bit shocked to see him.
"Don't I at least get a hug?" Keith asked jokingly.
"OH KEITH!" Said Allura excitedly giving him the warmest embrace she ever gave anyone. She felt incredible in his arms. She was really feeling him, not a telepathic image of him in her dreams, but really him! She didn't want to let him go but she wanted to look into his eyes. He seemed to pick up on this and gently put his hand under her chin to have her look up at him. She stared into his eyes for a lingering moment before he gently placed a kiss on her lips. His kiss felt warm and soft and sent tingles throughout her body. He gently broke the kiss.
"I love you, Allura." He said sincerely.
"I love you too, Keith." She replied in turn. "But why couldn't you communicate with me for the last few days?" She asked
"I guess God was trying to teach us patience. For some reason everything was repaired on the lion but the communicator and I seemed to lose my telepathic link to you when I boarded Black Lion. It doesn't make sense to me, but I am just glad to be home...home and in your arms." They hugged again when Hunk and Pidge walked up.
"Hey, Keith, we'll check that communicator out for you." Said Hunk.
He continued "Hey, I know you'd much rather be hugging her, but since you've been 'dead' for the past 5 weeks I think we could all use a hug."
Keith broke his embrace with Allura but found himself in one of Hunk's famous bear hugs.
"Hey, careful man I'm still healing." Keith quipped.
Everyone laughed and Keith Hugged Pidge and Lance as well.
He returned to Allura and said "Thank you everyone for having faith and praying for me. I first came to Arus without any ties not knowing what to expect and I return here now with better friends than I could have ever asked for and a true love that can never be broken even in death." He gently kissed Allura on the forehead. He continued "It's because of you I am alive and because of you the planet I was on has come to life. When I get better I need to show this place. You saw how desolate it was when my lion went down. It's now a place of beauty."
The others were not sure what to make of his comment.
"We'd love to see it but let's get you all healed first." Allura said as they started walking toward the castle arm in arm.
She whispered in his ear. "Your welcome, I'll always have faith in you!"
