The gems: Gen 1 (original version)

Chapter 9

But what if she could get it back?

Auphora looked at celestial, "where exactly did I happen to drop it?" She said

"Oh you dropped it over there, but a ton of guards are already searching, I don't think there's hope..." celestial said as she pointed to the apple trees base.

Auphora looked at the tree, "wait! What if Grover took it when I dropped it..?" Auphora shouted.

Silence... all the people were looking at her.

"That would mean you failed all of us, because.. he. Could time travel and get the rakitsels back, win the war, and fix everything that prevented him from winning!" Celestial said

"I know that's why we should atleast go look.. you guys go look around his palace I'll go check if marab is still there!" Auphora replied

Auphora ran all the way back to her palace. She was in too much panic and pain from the war. After hearing the news, and the thought of Grover defeating them, she didn't have the energy to teleport.

Auphora stood in the main room of her castle panting, collecting her air back.

She had ran fast, but considering how fast she was running she could have just teleported. She didn't care though, atleast it was some type of exercise?

Auphora looked around the room, the base seemed fine, so she went downstairs to the dungeon, they were still there.

"Hey.. marab... hey tala.. and you... uhm.. Hala!" She said panting.

"What happened to you?" Marab asked.

"Oh uhm... just you know... a long story."

"Oh ok well what happened with the war.. who won?"

"Uhm... we'll we did! But.. I had time traveled... and gave this watch to my younger self.."

"Ok.."

"The thing is.. that watch time travels the person wearing it. I kind of gave it to my younger self.."

"Well what's the big deal you should still have it now then?"

Auphora stabled her breath

"So i told myself to kill Grover when I had a chance.. but the thing is.. I failed.. plus dropped the watch and nobody can find it. I have guards and people at his castle searching for it."

"Wait.. you tried killing Grover by going in the past, that could have killed us!"

"But your evils anyway.. and you shouldn't have been here in the first place!"

"But I've been good to you.."

"Well you didn't die so isn't that just all fine and dandy!?" Auphora shouted angrily.

She ignored the 3 and walked back up to her office.

"Why am I even talking to those evil things anyway!? I should be talking to someone else with gems! Writing letters! Checking on my people!" Auphora said to herself.

She hadn't even finished reading all the stolen scrolls yet, what if they hid something very important?

She opened the drawer, all the unread scrolls.

She picked up a scroll, this one hadn't been opened!

She read it.

"Dear Auphora,

I'm going to remain anonymous so Grover won't know, but I'm stuck in his chamber. When you save me I know that you will get all the letters from the phoenix's so I'm keeping this letter in here since I'm unable to deliver it.

Anyway, Grover's guards tossed us in here, and I'm waiting for you to come get us. On our way here, they took some secret route but I can't remember anything since I was so tired everything was blurry and hard to remember.

If you want to know more you MUST check for the secret book I hid, specific so that Grover cannot find it in our gem library, I was able to teleport it into the gem library! But I must go now!

Goodbye,
One of your people."

This must've been when she was hiding from those guards.. how come she didn't notice the gem holder writing anything? I mean she was however hidden behind a poll, it was dark, and she was invisible.

But her people couldn't teleport, they don't have the powers to do so. She wished they could do that, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten into all this hassle.
