Memory Crystal

Chapter 1: Birth

Hello my dear adorable readers! I have spent my mid-term holidays getting into the Houseki no Kuni or Land of the Lustrous fandom, and I must say, I'm utterly in love with it! From the plot, to the designs and don't get me started on the anime! And... I have been really absent with writting hehehe~ 

Please, readers, I love my head very much and unlike Phos's my head will not be replaced! I'm just tellin' you guys I'M NOT DEAD. I'm just focusing on my favourite job of all time, procrastinating. 

Enjoy~ °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

"Sensei! Look over there!" Yellow Diamond yelled, already running towards the sparkling silhouette that was struggling to get up, but was struck down by a Lunarian's spear. They fell to the ground with a crash as their blue shards fell on the sand like morning dews.

"Gem ahead!" They ran towards the Lunarian that was trying to capture the blue gem and sliced it into wisps of air. With a swift movement of Kongo's hand, the Lunarians vanished into thin air.

Defeating the Lunarian was simple, but finding the complete set of the gem's body was a hard task.

"Sensei, they seem to be missing their legs. Its not here." Yellow Diamond said, forming a crease of worry on their forehead, they have been pacing back and forth around the area, searching for the gem's missing pieces, but they never found another speck of blue on the sand.

"It's not in the water either." Pink Topaz sighed and gripped their sword. "Sorry sensei." Pink Topaz apologized sheepishly, their voice was meek and pleasant to listen, they grip their sword tightly, as if they wanted to slice open a mountain due to frustration.

"...I see." Sensei could only mutter solemnly as their gloved hands worked on fixing the gem's face, the rest were already glued back. Sensei's gentle and nimble fingers quickly pieced the shards back, surprisingly the gem did not struggle and stayed completely still, as if they expected an attack.

"Done." They pulled away, and got up to observe the gem. A brilliant bright blue, as blue as the sky, it blinked its eyes, they were solid, unlike the rest of its body, they were not transparant. Their hair was long and straight, reaching it's back, right above their hip. It was strange, they came in thin strands, unlike the rest whose hair usually stick into clumps.

"You will be named, Turquoise." The gem blinked in confusion, seemingly confused. It looked around, hands roaming all over the sand underneath them, until they grasped Sensei's robes. A gleam of curiosity filled their eyes as their hands went up further, dainty fingers feeling the silky material of the robe. Their eyes looking at it distantly, as if they use their fingers to see.

Yellow diamond and Pink Topaz looked in confusion.

"What are they doing sensei?" [Pink Topaz]

"Is this normal?" [Yellow Diamond]

Kongo did not respond, he watched as Turquoise's hands reaching up to his gloved hands. Their mouth gaped in surprise at its hardness before humming in glee. They blinked in surprised and touched their throat, they made rumbling sounds as they felt the vibration at that particular spot. Kongo hummed in thought as they grasped Turquoise's hand.

"That is your throat. Turquoise, you'll have a lot to learn." He reached forward and lifted them in their arms bridal style. Turquoise yelped in surpriseat the warmth and the unfamiliar situation but did not struggle.

"Come, Yellow Diamond, Pink Topaz." Kongo's robes swished at the breeze as he started to make his way back to the school with a new gem in his arms.

""Yes sensei!"" Pink Topaz and Yellow Diamond followed in suit, running at a semi-fast pace as Kongo was faster with his wide strides. Their minds filled with curiosity at the new addition in their family.
