My Little Turquoise

Chapter 1: Never Again

Flashing red lights surround me. I'm filled with fear as I frantically press the controls of my ship. I was headed into the ground fast and wasn't sure I was going to make it out alive. With the controls busted and the system overheated, There was nothing left to do but brace for impact. I shield my arms over my face as my ship hits the ground. Skitting through miles and miles of grass and dirt when it finally comes to an abrupt stop. The countdown till self-destruction starts counting down. I get out of my seat and bang on the glass but it's no use. I remember my ejection seat and pull the lever just as the ship gets to 1. I shoot into the air and land face first into the ground below. I slowly get up, just enough to prop myself up, still laying on the ground to look behind me. The ship explodes into a fiery wreck, peace's of the flaming ship scattered all around me. I look back at the ground, trying my best to catch my breath. After a few minutes, I slowly start to stand up. But as soon as I stood up straight I crumbled back to the floor. I winced in pain as I realized my right leg was cracked severely as well as my gem. I looked back and forth from my leg to my gem, feeling terrified that I can't heal myself with a cracked gem. I gather up my strength and stand up. I summon my weapon from my gem. It's a Guandao with a sharp dark teal blade at the top. The pole part of it has light blue engraved spirals on all sides of it. I flip it around and dig my blade into the ground, holding the handle to help support my body weight. I start to stumble forward using my weapon as a cane. I see what looks to be a town in the distance, all lit up with lights. For the first time in a long time... I felt a sense of hope.
