My Sad Life

Keith's POV
Uhhhhhhh! I hate this shitty tower. With its dumb single bed (which even I have grown out of and I am 5'6.) I hate the cracked ceiling which is on the brink of leaking rain all over my "room". The wardrobe doors have broken of their hinges so it's basically just a wooden crate that is turned on its side. The 70's wallpaper is peeling off showing the brick walls beneath. On the whole, this tower is a dump.

If you couldn't tell I hate it here. I have been living here (if you could even call it that) for as long as I can remember. Zarkon told me he saved me from the kingdom. He said they hated me as I was different and wanted me executed. But Zarkon swept in and saved me and brought me far, far away from the castle so I was safe. I know I am different. It's obvious from my long raven hair and my Galra heritage. Now when I say long I don't mean just past my hips, I mean it is the length of 3 football fields. ( An~I am English but if you aren't then 3 soccer fields) But my Galra heritage is what people really find disappointing and disgusting. That's what Zarkon said and this is why he never wants me to leave the tower. For my own "safety". I mean I can handle myself. Other than moping around this shithole I do regular training with swords, daggers and guns on training dummies. Prefer my dagger the most and I feel a connection with it. In a way it's like me. Small but deadly; always stuck up here but wanting to have a real adventure. Okay that got sad real quick. Yup I am that lonely I feel associated to a hunk of metal on a stick.

(Picture of what Keith's dagger looks like.)

Um moving on! I feel I could handle my self but Zarkon thinks it is too dangerous and he "cares" too much to let me go out. I can hear his voice in my head telling me why I can't go.
"Now listen Keith," he would say in a low voice, "I am doing this for your own good. You don't know the dangers that are out in the world. So stop asking!"
And I did. I stopped asking but I never stopped wanting to go out and explore.

Now you are probably thinking "Bitch stop moping and leave when no one is there. They'll never know 😏" Well there is one tiny problem Haggar ( Zarkon's bitc... I mean witch/wife) has an enchantment over the tower meaning I cannot leave without someone physically taking me and as they won't let me out and I have no one else I am doomed to this tower forever.

I walk over to my glass-less window sitting on the window bench watching as the beautiful sun starts to set. The only thing I like about this prison is the view. When the sun sets the rays of light bounce off the trees of the vast forest soaking it with its last light before darkness falls. The pink, oranges and yellows in the sky look beautiful over the woodland. Out there is adventure. Out there is excitement. Out there is meaning. (An~My God that sounds like a piece of cheesy trash but WTH I am keeping it in.)
I hear the pitter patter of tiny feet crawling up to me. Cosmo ,my little emerald chameleon, is my only friend here. He had scaled the tower to me 2 years ago and has stayed with me ever since. ( An~ Chameleons aren't found in forests but pretend he escaped his home in a town and made its way to the tower.) He just listens. To my thoughts , to what would be the first thing I would do if I got the chance to leave and in general he is just there. He hasn't told me his name yet so I just named him Cosmo and he came during a meteor shower. He hasn't told me his name yet but I know he will when he is ready.

I am cut off from my thoughts when I hear a loud, obnoxious voice from the base of my tower, " The name's Lance. So wanna see how fast I can climb this tower?"
