The Aurora Lion

Prologue

○●○●○

"Haven't you done enough experiments already?!?!?", the young girl screams as she thrashes wildly trying to stop the Galra soldiers from restraining her. Haggar glances at the poor child before resuming her preparations for her next experiment.

"Silence child, for I am far from finished with you. There is still so much to be done, I just hope you will still be alive after all this", the witch calmly says, walking over to the girl, who is now restrained with tight cuffs around her wrists and ankles. Haggar stands beside the operating table, looking down at the young victim, the girl looking up at her on the verge of cry, but refrains from crying.

"Please.... I've had enough..... I'm at my limit....", the girl pleads, her ears flat against her head and the corners of her brown eyes brimming with tears as she silently begs for mercy from the witch that towers over her. Haggar simply averts her eyes to the big syringe she's holding. After lightly tapping it with the back of her finger, she slowly lowers it to the girl's outstretched arm, the needle point slowly pressing into her soft skin and flesh.
The girl turns her head away and lets out a blood-curdling scream as she feels the witch injecting the thick purple contents of the syringe into her veins. She feels it circulating throughout her veins, sending nothing but waves of pain to her body. Her eyes are glossy as the tears stream uncontrollably across her cheeks, her cries becoming trapped in her throat, making her choke and cough uncontrollably. Haggar slowly pulls out the needle and disposes of the syringe before cleaning up and heading toward the door, calling the soldiers to exit the room. She glances over her shoulder to take a final look at the girl, who is trying to catch her breath.

"I see you are still alive. Excellent", Haggar grins, exiting the room and leaving the girl clinging to life. The girl looks up at the ceiling, the tears still flowing from her eyes. "...... Please.... I can't...... not anymore....", she whispers to the empty room before slipping into a dark slumber.

(At the Atlean Castle)

"Princess!!!! You need to see this!!!", Coran shouts desperately. Princess Allura, accompanied by the Voltron Paladins, rush over to see what the advisor has found.

"Yes Coran. What is it?", Allura commands, standing at her control panel behind Coran and looking at what he found. A screen pops up infront of her and she carefully reads over what it says, the pilots trying to catch a glimpse of it over her shoulder. Allura's eyes slowly start to widen as she finishes reading, a soft gasp escaping her lips as she places her hands on both sides of her panel, keeping her eyes on the screen as her expression showing disbelief. "It... It can't be....", she whispers, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"What? What is it?", Lance asks impatiently, Pidge nudging him with an elbow to the ribcage as she steps closer to look at the screen. "These look like coordinates, are they not?", she asks, to which Coran slowly nods, walking towards the princess and slowly rubbing her back.

"Princess.... We found her".
