Traitors. VLD Kidge

The Night of Blue

Lance POV
You may be wondering why I'm not starting this thing off in the Castle of Lions were myself and the Paladins are sitting around the table looking at battle plans or eating together. Well, to put it simply: Lance McClain- Former blue Paladin of the Blue Lion was held as a Traitor after, well in his eyes, he saved the Red and Green Paladins. More about me and that past later. Allura deemed me out of control and childish. She told me that she couldn't believe that I was a Paladin. I wasn't the sharpshooter. I apparently I wasn't a Paladin of Voltron either. They stranded me on planet Ziagel. They said that i wasn't able to return unless I'd done something to help the Zia's- the planets people.
And I did. I helped Voltron as well. Because of what happened; Voltron won't have to worry about me. Nor will they have to call me nasty names. And they can't expect me to wake up and tell them it's just a joke.
It's difficult to make Jokes when your whole life feels like one.
So, this is the story.
The Zia's help Lotor. Yes, they hate Voltron they think it's a waste of time.
Lotor had apparently healed their planet; Ziagel and rid the planet of this virus. The planet was dying so, Lotor came and asked for an alliance and the leader, Zekia said yes.
Ziagel was a nice place overall. The trees were multi coloured; the flowers were tiny and the animals were practically twice the size of Earth' s animals. The waters were Crystal clear and small fish and crabs littered the oceans. Bird like Hawks flew in the sky and sometimes fly to low, they crash into almost everything.
The sky was encompassing!
Full of different shades of dark blues. And at night, the Nebula of Honour lights the entire planet.
Its an nice colourful place. Too bad I was a Paladin of Voltron. The people assumed that I was an enemy, because they helped the Galra, not Voltron. So with the voltron gear on, I couldn't lie. The leader; Zekia had me chained and thrown into the dungeon. My Paladin armour taken and my Bayard was put on display. A few times, Zekia had come down to 'talk'.
Within four days, Lotor showed up. Apparently, Ziagel and Liagel; the Moon which orbited Ziagel, hold a festival in honour of the Galra. And the best part was I was the main spectacle. <Note the sarcasm>
Zekia had me handcuffed to thick log of tree, dark coals were placed at my feet. I remember the smell of gasoline...
Flashback

"What have we here, a Paladin? How come, Zekia!" Lotor smiled at the leader, snapping his fingers.
"Well, he was.." Zekia was stopped as I butted in.
"Voltron called me a Traitor. They said that i shouldn't be on the team as they couldn't trust me anymore. I saved myself and put the rescue mission in jeopardy, in their eyes. But, I' had saved a Galra as well as my friend Keith.

The blue lion is still with them. Allura had casted me out, left me on this planet about four days ago. I have no way to get back to them; not that I want to.." I stopped, my throat beginning to clog up. A tight feeling of shame and sorrow spilled over me. My eyes started to water.
"My my...how devastating. Tell me, what did you do?" Lotor's voice was strangely smoothing and sad. I narrowed my eyes down at him, opening my mouth to speak. But for once, I had nothing left to say...
"This 'thing'will be sacrificed to you, Prince Lotor, as a gift. As a thank you.." Zekia smiled, and threw my Paladin armour into the flames that had began to lick at my feet. I didn't cry out, I just stared at the sky. Brilliant reds and greens and yellows littered the Blackness. It was the Nebula of Honour or that's what the Zia's call it. Somehow, I saw the lions.
The bulky, armour of Yellow. The swift, smart of Green. The strength and agility of Red...
The Brave and Leadership of Black...
I swallowed and mangned to smile. The flames rose higher and higher. The burn of my skin made it ichy. The hot smoke that blinded my Vision and the smell of burning displeased my nose. I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I just stared into the sky... remembering. Without them I didn't want to live in an universe where they hated me...where they'd cast me out...but, still, I loved them. They were the best part of my life. I couldn't hate them..even if they didn't save me now, I know this is what they wanted...
The flames rose and covered me head to toe. With one final look to the sky I smiled and let the flames of death, consume me whole.

That was the night I died..
