Steady

Summary:

After the death of the queen, the King becomes a cruel and tyrannical ruler who values his own wealth over the safety and wellbeing of his people. When the Prince is visited by a phantom in the night, he is warned to search for a cure to the illness plaguing his kingdom, lest the empire fall. Convinced that he is destined to rule and grow to be the same way, the Prince takes on this challenge - desperate to prove to himself that he is more than a copy of his father. He hires a ranger to lead him across the countryside in search of this cure. Along the way he learns about himself and the king he wants to be - as well as the ragtag team of citizens that join his party along the way.

Notes:

Warning: The following story may not be suitable for all audiences. It contains descriptions of strong language, violence, gore, and general body horror. Reader discretion is advised.

Unedited because I can't in good faith ask any of my friends to proofread a Voltron fic for me in 2021.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Visions born of hope give birth to our success.

What is possible lives within us, and it only remains for us to discover it.”
