This is the Tale of Fair Shiro, a kind, gentle soul whom at a young age had been stolen from his home and imprisoned in a lonesome tower deep in the Galran forest by evil Lord Zarkon. T'was his hair, you see, and it’s healing powers of quintessence that tempted Lord Zarkon to steal Fair Shiro away. Zarkon feared Death above all else, and with Shiro moored to his side, he needn’t fear it at all.
But! Along comes handsome rogue, Sir Lancelot and his ferocious steed, the Blue Lion! (“Lance, Blue is a horse not a l-” “Shh! don’t let her hear you say that, Shiro! She’ll get pissy and won’t let us ride her for a week!”) Together, they bravely faced the very real risk of Lord Zarkon’s wrath to free Fair Shiro from his prison and bring him home to his rightful place among the Paladins of Voltron.
This is a story of Adventure! Suspense! Of daring deeds and courageous acts (“Courageous? Last night you saw a spider and screamed like a little child”, “It was right in my face! I was surprised, okay? Also, it was massive!”, “Right, the size of an infant’s thumbnail equals massive,” “Shut up Shiro! You’re ruining the story!”), and most of a all, a story of finding your way home. Or perhaps, a story of finding out that Home has been with you, all along…

The idea of Shiro as Rapunzel made me very happy so I had to whip this up real quick :D
