Chapter 7 Steven's Lion

We open up to the hot sun beating down as a column collapsed into sand. The Gems and Y/n walk over the sand pile while Steven crawls. 

Steven: "W-water... so thirsty... for water.."

Pearl: "It'll be safer if you stand up and walk"

Steven: "You don't... understand... This... is how... you're supposed to act... in the desert..."

Y/n: "Not really Steven, most people who do that were lost for several days without food or water. Also, your clothes will get all sandy "

Steven grows tired of his "act" and gets up, sweating 

Steven: "Is this the thing? The place?"

Garnet: "Yes, Steven." A silhouette of a temple can be seen in the distance, as another sandstone column collapses. "The power in the structures have turned aimless"

Pearl: "It's building columns with no roofs, stairs that go nowhere! This is out of control!"

Amethyst: "Then I guess we better...!" leap-frogs over Steven "Roll on over there. Heheh"

Pearl: "That was a bit unnecessary"

Amethyst: mocking Pearl "Nuh-nuh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh"

Pearl: "Excuse me?!"

A loud roar is herd startling Steven and making Y/n look around

Steven: "What was that?!"

Amethyst: "Let's go!"

Garnet: "It will be beast if you two stay here" she tells the boys

Pearl: "We'll be quick"

Steven: "What if something eats me and Y/n?"

Garnet: "Do not worry... Wet One." wipes the sweat off Steven's face and flicks it back at him "There's nothing out here that can harm you. See you soon"

Steven: "Okay"

The Gems head off to investigate, while Steven and Y/n find shade under a sandstone column.

Steven: "It's. So. Desert." puts his shirt over his eyes 

Y/n: wiping sweat off his brow "Maybe we should have brought some water along. I'm actually surprised you didn't bring your backpack with some supplies"

Hearing that, Steven has a look of realization before face palming.

 Y/n: chuckling "Guess you forgot"

The two then hear growls 

 Steven: "What was that?" lifts his shirt and scans the surroundings "Nothing can harm me. I, am the Wet One"

Y/n looks around with Steven as they spot two shadowy figures, which glares in their direction, frightening Steven and making Y/n rub his eyes thinking he's seeing things. Steven runs to hide behind the sandstone column with Y/n as the figures approaches the column.

Steven: "Good thing this column was here"

The column collapses, revealing a pink furred lion behind it. Steven falls backwards in fright and begins to panic

Y/n: "Steven, you never wanna say stuff like that!" he says in a panic

The  two back up slowly until a sandstone wall forms behind them trapping them.

Steven: "No, no!" cowers in fear "Huh?"

The lion simply stands there glaring at Steven and Y/n. It then yawns and collapses in front of him, taking a nap
