Purple Diamond was very unique.
Her Gem was located on the back of her neck, and a pair of lustrous black wings extended from her back. No other gem could measure up to her elegance.
From the way she walked to the way she spoke, she did everything with the utmost poise.... And yet...
"My diamond, the rebellion has become quite a handful. I fear that it is only a matter of time before Black Diamond comes to accuse you."
The other Diamonds still looked down on her with scorn.
"Thank you, Pearl. You've worked hard." Purple Diamond offered her hand to the Pearl, smiling as Pearl stepped into her palm. "My Pearl, such a beautiful gem you are. You've been through so much for me. Thousands of years of servitude..."
"It is my honor to serve you, my diamond." Pearl bowed to her master, then glanced around.
Purple closed her wings around then, the dark feathered shards beginning to glow. "Pearl, you should leave while you can.."
Pearl's expression twisted, her pain was visible in every aspect. "How could you say that.... I would never leave you! Even if it means being shattered, I will stay by your side!"
Purple Diamond cupped the Pearl in her hands, sadly watching the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. "But Pearl-"
"No 'buts'!" Pearl shouted, then quickly covered her mouth with both hands.
Purple Diamond flinched as she heard the heavy doors open, and lifted her wings to reveal a gem who was staggering, dragging an arm behind them with a misshapen figure.
"My Diamond! My Diamond, hurry! Run!" It was a Quartz, one of many Violet Quartz gems in Purple's court. "Red has come, and she is furious!"
Purple diamond had a choice to make, stay and protect what was left of her court, or run away...
"Gather every gem left, and any cracked gem, or pieces left from shattered gems, everything you can. Get everyone you can into my ship. Immediately." She set the pearl down, healing the nearly broken Quartz with a tear. "Go!"
Pearl and Violet Quartz took off running and Purple closed off the secret passage the two went through before the room became unbearably hot.
It was the beginning of the end of the Purple court.
