This follows the 10,000 year period from the most recent HnK Chapter (95).
After Phos had turned into a gem-human I had some concept that may or may not be able to fit Ichikawa's writing :') though recently I have a finished the manga and a void wa...
These fragments of the words of an old friend echoed through Phosphophyllite's head and they grew louder, but he couldn't remember why he said these words and when he said it. He tried to close his eyes, but only to open them back again.

"Ugh.." Phosy exhibited distress and then Phosiderite patted Phosy.
"Hm..?" Phosy looked on over to Phos with a curious expression.
"Master, you think I can join in on the winter duties..? I can't sleep.. even though it's so cold."
Phosy puts Phosiderite's hand away from his head
"But you might get washed away.. and you might bother them.." Phosiderite clinged to Phosy's ankle with a pouting expression
"Ohh pleasee! I promise I'll only report to you when theres a Lunarian attack!" Phosy giggled slightly and patted Phos
"Well I see. But you better keep that promise." Master tightens his expression once again and winced.
"Pfft.. I will but I'm not wearing that thing [the necklace] again." Phos gasped, Master turned over to him and gave him a sincere smile
"Atleast bring it with you." Phosy said in a serene tone as Phosiderite held onto the necklace he placed it in his pockets and grabbed a winter saw and got up
"Mhm.. Okay." Phosiderite said intermediately
Master also got up to lead Phos to the nearest winter post
Then in the distance they see Avent and Smoky skating (their heels) their way to the post too.
"Huh? That's them." Phosiderite points out
"Hmm.. Yes, it's still early for a dismissal" As they were running they had fear stricken expression on their faces
"Master! You need to see something!" Avent screamed out as a loud ice floe-type noise erupted from behind, Smoky was treading swiftly and reached the post first.
"Huff.. Huff. Master the Lunarians they.. dropped a giant hand way over there." Smoky pointed to where they were running from as Avent catches up and in a surprised he saw Phos awake
"Huh? How are you awake?" Avent inquires curiosily
"I'll investigate, Smoky Quartz you come with me. Keep your guard up, Aventurine, Phosphosiderite you two stand watch in case something comes." Aventurine suddenly tightens his grips on the winter saw and with an angry expression he holds in all bridled rage and nods in agreement.
Smoky stock up on more arrows and Phosy grabs his Moon Blade
[Author Corner: I'm thinking of giving Phosy's sword a name www]
Phosy bids the farewell as they slowly walk towards the suspected area.
[Listen to this whilst reading forward]
"Be.. careful.. Smoky.." Aventurine said as Smoky was walking away in a weak tone. He dropped his winter saw and suddenly crawled up into a ball.
"H-huh?! Avent? What's wrong?" Avent rears his head away from Phos as Phos sits beside him and wonders what's wrong.
"Ugh.. Smoky.. If I lose him.. I'll lose myself, I can't bear seeing him taken away from me" Avent says weakly as Phos gives him a snuggle and tries to cheer him up
"Hey! It'll be ok-" Avent grunts and looks at Phos angrily
"NO! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE, PHOS. NOT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. YOU'RE THE OLDEST YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!" Avent's yells back as his voice echoed through the icy fields, then silence came. Phos zipped up in guilt but still tried as Avent curled back like a ball
Phosiderite gets serious and tries hard.
"Mhm.. Why didn't you insist on coming with them?" When Phosy asked Avent trembles but answers.
"Smoky is.. the hardest out of us two.. so it would be natural Master would bring the hardest.. but.. still I couldn't bring myself to slaughter my respect for Master.." Avent replies sadly whiles finally letting out his face.
"Ah.. I see.. Hey, you know I don't think Smoky wants to see you like this.. y'know? And plus you have a cool honor thingy since your a Winter Guard, right?" Phos brings these things up in hopes to cheer him up, Avent giggles slightly in a ill manner
"Pfft.. Y-you really think I have honor when it comes to protecting my own..?" Avent smiles more
Phos nods in agreement and smiles too
"Ah.. It's just that.. I really can't bear losing my brother you know?" Avent adds as he turns to look at the white sky.
"The Sky reminds me of that talking Lunarian that attacked Master." Avent suddenly says as Phos hangs his head near Avent
"That white-haired one?"
"Yeah."
"Mhm.. though he did look like a gem to me." Phosiderite concludes the conversation..
There were referring to Antarcticite!
[Meanwhile in the Lunarian Situation]
Smoky and Phosy arrived at the seemingly gigantic dropped hand from [Lunarians] above
They see a white hand that came from the Lunarians as Smoky mentioned.
"Could it move?" Master inquired as Smoky nodded to a "No" after Master asked a loud ice floe like noise erupted again.
"Smoky, keep your guard up." Smoky prepares his bow as Phosy goes to the hand's palm and stands on it. It's motionless and seems robust with it having robot-like veins on the rest.
And then fog emits from the side of the giant hand and spikes appear on it's fingers.
"Smoky. Sitsu!" [That is the command "to aim" so basically he's saying Aim.] Phosy yells out as he is engulfed in the fog
"Right!" Smoky gets in stance and prepares a shot.
"KIKU!" [Command "to fire"] Phosy yells out again as he Smoky shoots in the fog.
*WHOOSH, SHIIING CRACK* A cracking noise could be heard as Phosy blade could be heard ramming into something.
"KIKU!" Another commands goes on as Smoky takes another shot and this time after a few seconds the ground quakes and hand and ground seem to be crack.
And then..
*CRACK* The fog clears up.. as it shows Phosy was battling something from hand but
Smoky Quartz fell into the cold pools of the winter and tries to hold out but was dropped deep into the water.
"SMOKY!" Phosy suddenly rushes up to the pool and swims down to take him back but he was a bottom and his head is cracked.
"M...aster.." Smoky holds out as a pale expression was painted across his face, Phosy finally brought him to surface.
Phosphophyllite places him down on the floor and asks if he's okay.
"I'm... a..live.." Phosy embraces the damaged Smoky in his arms as he slowly whimpers a bit.
But that.. 'thing' that Phosy was battling hadn't been defeated yet and now is heading to the WInter Shelter.. to Phosphosiderite and Red Aventurine..
