Skotos

Previously:

She handed the necklace to me and helped me put it on "That was so cool" was all I could say and she smiled along with a small 'thank you' "I bet you want to check your home planet, Lullora now..

Don't you?"

Now:

"Yes, I do" I say softly. "Welp, let's go! To adventure and mostly sorrow! I shall comfort you my dear friend!" She shouts so chalantly. "Yeah, thanks, c'mon" I say motioning for her to follow and she does, but stops at the doorway. "What's wrong?" I question. "It's just....I haven't left the room before. I guess you could say I'm scared to disappear" "Hey it's fine! I am wearing the necklace right?" I say pointing to the necklace. "Yeah your right!..F IT!" She screams and jumps onto me. "Shi-" "I DIDN'T FADE AWAY!" She screams with joy. "Let's go to Lullora" She says whilst picking me up bridal style. "How the fuck?!" I scream because she starts running down the halls like a complete maniac. "Don't you dare drop me!" I scream. "Wouldn't dream of it" She giggles. After a 5 minute run, we arrive at the garage.

With Shiro & Pidge:

"How the fuck?!" Shiro and Pidge hear Skotos scream. "Don't you dare drop me!" "W-w-wouldn-n-t dr-of.." It was a glitched up voice not Shiro nor Pidge could understand.

With Y/n & Glitch:

"You are a complete...MANIAC!" "Hey..we got here fast right?" "Well...Yeah I can't argue with that" I say exasperated. "Okay, so heads up I travel in the necklace. If you lose it I will be limited space to travel to find you okay? And also if you really needed me and lost me, you would need a very strong bond with me for me to reappear on your neck..so cool?" "Cool" "Let's go!"

{Time Skip to after the journey to Lullora}

"Woah....wait!" Glitch says. "What?!" I say in panic. "Why do you call yourself Skotos instead of Y/n" At this point I stopped becoming shocked..this happens too often. "Well..Skotos in a language called 'Greek' means darkness. I hid in the darkness and it just..resembles me. That's all I feel and that's all I am" I say. "Well you aren't dark, just morbid!" Glitch happily says trying to lighten my mood. It means a lot that she helps. Even if I have Allura. "Dawwwwwwe! Why thank you! I appreciate you too!" Then she hugs me from behind. I sigh knowing I said my thoughts again. "*gasp* there's Lullora!" Glitch points out to a desolate, grey, dark, saddening, and a oh so...BROKEN planet. I let out a shaky breath. I put my motorcycle into full throttle and we enter my home planets atmosphere. My mask scan the area and find out the air is breathable. I relax a bit, knowing that my home is not toxic. We land in my old village's town square. I take off my mask and bask (I am a rhyming QUEEN!) in my planets surroundings, taking in all of it. There were still streamers from our festival, broken instruments,...

(Ok, pause the emotional train for a tick. So what is gonna be written in italics is a flashback and everything else is what is going on in the present. Un-pause)

The streamers were colourful and bright and EVERYWHERE! The animals and my people were having a big festival! Right now the orchestra are playing our traditional song, The Element Gala. The Element Festival is very important to our culture. We celebrate the animals, nature, earth, air, water, fire, the stars, light, and darkness.

A painful sorrow consumes me...

My parents and I were eating mom's famous alechi pie (A-le-ch-ee) no one can ever top her pie and when I mean no one, I mean no one. She even gave me the recipe.

I check my pockets desperately and I see a piece of paper. I unfold it and I see it's my mom's recipe. Tears prick at my eyes.

Dad said let's go join the party and we all went. The music was amazing. I saw some animals prance and wag their tails in the air to the music.

I look over to the burnt and flipped over tables and see something shiny and I walk over and look at it.

"Dad, where's your watch?" I ask "I left it at our table. Don't want to drop it and let your clumsy feet step on it!" Dad says chuckling. "HEY!" I yell with a smile. "I'm not that clumsy.." I say. "Mhmm. Remember that one day you were fighting a dummy? Well you went to kick it and.."

"You fell and landed on your butt of yours. Wish I got it on video and show it to the neighbours" I mumble softly picking up my fathers watch. I remember his laugh afterwards and my laugh and mom giving us a very questioning look. I collapse and let out a full out sob. I then feel a pair of arms wrap around me. "Let it all out. It's not good to keep in your emotions Y/n" Glitch says. "You can even call me G. Short for Glitch" "Thank you" I choke out from all my crying. A good 5 doboshes pass and I calm down. "We should get going, don't want anyone finding out you are gone" G says softly. I nod. "Want me to drive?" She says. "No" She immediately slumps down. "Fiiiiiine" She says in annoyance. I giggle at her behaviour. We then hop on my motorcycle and head home.
