"Are you sure that this design is suitable for battle, or even possible?" I hear a male voice say. "I'm positive! Yellow Diamond herself personally hand picked every detail of this gem!" Another, female, voice says. 'What's going on? Where am I?' I think to myself. All I can see is darkness. I can hear everything they're saying, but I can't see them. Shocking energy  suddenly floods into my veins and my eyes shoot open. "There she is! I told you, Yellow Diamond isn't stupid. She knows what she's doing," a pale skinned  female  with blue hair and goldenrod yellow eyes says while putting some kind of ointment  on my-blue? Yes, blue skin. "Hm, I'm impressed. You're not that bad of a genetic engineer after all," a tall, shadowy male with wispy black hair, and strikingly bright orange eyes says while examining me. "What am I?" I manage to croak. 'Hmm, vocal cords are hard to use...' I think to myself. The female, with her gem on her forehead, looks at me. "Hello! I'm Howlite! This is Obsidian," she motions towards the male, whose gem is on his chest. "And you...you, my friend, are Azurite! We created you! I know everything seems so new and confusing, so Obsidian and I will guide you until you understand how the universe works!" She continues to rant on and on about me. 'My name...is Azurite?....My name is Azurite.' She stops and helps me off the table I was on. I wobble a little bit, not used to my legs. After a brief struggle, she leads me to a mirror so I can see myself. 'Wow.....I'm a freak show....' icy blue skin with pine tree green bands staining my arms and legs here and there, violet eyes, striking half white, half black hair, and a midnight blue gem on my upper back. "So...? How do you like yourself?" Howlite's sickly cheery voice snaps me back into reality. Obsidian rolls his eyes. "She's not meant to look like a beauty queen!" He mumbles. "I...I look fine." I say. "Now let's see your weapon," Obsidian says eagerly. "My weapon?" I ask. "Oh yes! Every gem has a weapon! You just need to figure out how to summon it!" Howlite cuts Obsidian off before he speaks. "Um, ok..." I have no idea how to summon my weapon. Maybe if I think hard enough? I don't know how, but my gem glows, and a black-blue, purple, and green axe appears in my hand. 'Whoa...That was easy...' "Sweet! An axe!" Obsidian exclaims. "Good! Now that you have summoned your weapon, time for you to train?" Howlite says ecstatically. "Wait, what training?" I start getting even more confused. Obsidian gives me a mischievous look.

    "Battle training, of course!"
