I’m being needy again and want to share part of chapter 3 of the rewrite with ya’ll! It’s currently sitting at 5.2k and will hopefully be done and up tomorrow! It was hard to pick a snippet that wasn’t too spoilery but I think I’ve managed. If you’re wondering what ‘vision’ is being mentioned here... well, we’re starting to dive in to what Keith saw when he was in the quantum abyss!!!
“So are we agreed then?” Hunk asked through the coms. Keith faintly heard it in his daze, not quite registering what was going on. The edges of the vision were still curled around him like dark tendrils, piercing his skin and reaching down, down, down, trying to settle into his bones so he carried that fear with him everywhere. “We’re headed to Olkarion?”
Everyone confirmed and Keith shook his head, trying to dispel the fogginess that was floating around inside his head, shrouding his brain and making it harder for him to think.
“Oh man! I bet they have so much cool new technology!” Pidge gushed, the excitement clear in her voice. “If they have figured out how to unravel the space-time continuum, the possibilities and implications of that are endless.”
“Yeah,” Lance said, “I think I only understood, like, three of those words.”
“Three seems a little high for you,” Keith chimed in suddenly, the sound of Lance’s voice— alive, well and bemused— drawing him back from his haze.
“Nobody asked for your input, Keith.” Lance retorted and Pidge and Hunk could be heard laughing in the background.
Keith wanted to laugh with them, to let the sunshine that was the happiness of his team push away the dark cloud over his head, but he seemed incapable of shaking it. He’d tried, daily, for the years since he’d first seen the vision, but it stayed, stubbornly, as if it were attached to him permanently. He wondered how much darker it would get if it came true.
