(Narrator's POV)
Steven!!!!
What??? Guys! Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl!!! Connie....
Steven!!! Bluebird came back and she....AHHHHH!!
Connie?!? Connie!!!!?
Waking up in a sweat after yet another nightmare about that day, Steven Universe looked at his surroundings and sighed. After it all happened, he found himself in some shack owned by a family. They had brought him there and took care of him and he had been there ever since.
It had been over a week since he arrived and he still didn't know where he was until a woman came in. She wore a purple dress and had what looked to be spades on her cheeks.
"Hello,Steven. I'm glad you're finally awake." She said as Steven smiled at the woman. She was beautiful yet had an air of regality and experience about her that the hybrid couldn't explain.
"Thank you. I keep having dreams of what happened to my friends and family. Where am I? And who are you?" He asked as the woman smiled.
"Get up and get dressed. I'll explain as we walk together. Oh and my name is Eclipsa Butterfly." She said as Steven got up and got dressed. Needless to say, he was glad to have a sense of peace right now after what happened to him.
*Flashback*
It came out of nowhere. Bluebird came back with some Jaspers that were not on board with Era 3. And due to it being completely out of the blue, Steven and the others were caught off guard. Nevertheless, they fought with all they could. But while the assault was held off, it came with casualties:
Garnet: Shattered during a fight.
Pearl: Shattered due to a strike.
Amethyst: Shattered due to a straight shot to the chest.
Connie: Killed.
Greg:Killed.
Lapis: Overwhelmed and shattered.
Peridot: Shattered.
Steven was all alone and went beserk, running through the Jaspers and forcing Bluebird to beg for mercy that he wasn't going to give. The last thing he remembers was the sound of a shattering as he fell unconscious from the overuse of his powers……
*Back to the Present*
"Steven? You alright, dear?" Eclipsa asked as Steven snapped out of his daydream and chuckled.
"Yeah.. just….. thinking too much." He replied as Eclipsa smiled before sighing.
"About your loved ones, yes? I know what it feels like to lose a loved one. I…lost my husband. Sometimes the pain can be overwhelming." She said as Steven looked at her sadly. He knew what it was like to lose someone you were in love with. Connie was among those that died during the attack.
"I know the feeling. One of the people that died during the attack was my girlfriend, Connie. Or rather my fiancee. We were engaged to be married before all that went down." He said as Eclipsa looked at him.
"I'm sorry to hear that. If it's any consolation, you seem like a good man and she was lucky to have you." She said as Steven smiled and blushed.
"And your husband….was lucky to have a woman as kind and beautiful as you." The hybrid replied as a dark blushes overtook Eclipsa 's cheeks.
"L-Let's continue moving, shall we?" She said as the two of them continued their walk together. While Steven had no idea where he was, one thing was certain: It looked like something right out of a storybook. The rolling hills and plains looked like something out of a children's tale.
"This is Mewni. Beautiful, isn't it?" Eclipsa said as Steven smiled and nodded just as a woman with blonde hair ran up to them.
"Eclipsa! And....some guy I've never seen before! What's going on?" She asked as Steven gave her a look. But before the hybrid could respond...
"Star, such rudeness. Steven here is a guest under my protection, so please treat him with respect..he's lost a lot." Eclipsa said sternly as Star looked at Steven and smiled.
"I'm sorry. My name's Star Butterfly. It's nice to meet you, Steven. So you're Eclipsa's guest or friend or....what?" She asked as Steven smiled back.
"I'm just someone she found and brought back like a stray puppy whose family was taken to the pound to be put down." The hybrid replied sardonically as Star gave him a look of confusion and concern.
"Nevertheless, why don't you show Steven around, Star? That should make up for your rudeness. We'll talk later, Steven." Eclipsa said, winking at the hybrid before walking off.
"She's something else. Pretty upbeat for a woman who lost her husband." Star said as Steven gave her a look.
"Listen. It's called being strong enough to move forward. I'm sure she's still hurt. Hell, I'm still hurt over losing my family and my fiancee. But I'm in a new place and I'm going to make the best of it. Just because people aren't moping or screaming into the void about their pain doesn't mean they aren't suffering, Star. Open your eyes." The hybrid scolded as Star put her hands up in defense.
"OK! OK! I'm sorry! My mistake! Anyway, let me show you around, OK?" She said as the two walked off around Mewni.
