   Summary

   It’s been five years since Lance lost everything. Allura, his best friend, a woman like a sister to him who confided in him and him in her. A woman who died to give the multiverse its best chance and coincidentally give her home planet another chance at life.
   Keith who was destined for greater things, who had dreams bigger than Lance could hope to fulfill.
   Until the balance between the people brought back on Altea and the Galrans simply looking for a home after losing everything explodes into conflict and the Paladins are called upon to prevent a future that resembles the past.
   Suddenly Lance is the next in line for the Altean throne, he’s thrust into choosing a member of the Blade of Marmora to marry, and attempting to find some sort of peace for himself and Altea.
   At least one of the options reminds him of a Mullet having hotshot that he yearns for.
   So it may be chaotic and frightening, but maybe this is the best thing that could have happened to him.

   OR

   Lance gets yoinked from his depressing life on Earth to try and help the other Paladins find some peace between the Altean and Galran people. Also, Keith can’t be normal about this.
