Little sad story with Lapidot. I have no idea what corrupted Peridot looks like, so..... here goes nothing.
The barn is surprisingly silent. Lapis knew something is wrong if the barn is quiet without Peridot's usual noises and Pumpkin's barks. But when Lapis comes back to the barn after doing a favor for Steven, it's very silent. Lapis normally don't care about it but she can't help but worry about green gremlin and pumpkin puppy. Lapis went inside the barn to looks for them, only greeted with horrible sight. Black goo is everywhere. On the floor, the walls, even on the second floor! Lapis knew something is clearly wrong with these black goo everywhere. Lapis rushes out to search for them.
Few hours later...
"Argh!" Lapis growls as she turns around to look out for those two. It's evening, the sky is very orange right now. Lapis sighed heavily as she runs her hand over her hair. She looks around once more. "Hey!" A rough voice called out. Lapis turns to see a man in his twenties, holding a shivering pumpkin in his arms. "Pumpkin!" Lapis yelped as she runs toward the man. "Ya Lapis? Peridot told me bout ya. That laddie was chasing the blue beast." Lapis froze in her place when she laid eyes on Pumpkin. It's covering in black goo. It whimpers and whines for Lapis. She picks Pumpkin up and cradles it in her arms. "You see Peri? Where's she? Wait, what does the beast look like?" Lapis asked with worry laced her voice. The man scratched the back of his head. "Gosh, ah'm not sure. Ah know this. The beast is blue, of course, but it's like... um.. the body is like the shape of torso with head and four arms as legs but head and arms are disconnected. Also, it's leaking black goo. It reeks, ah ought said. Ah don't think that that small green laddie- well laddie called itself Peridot, can handle the beast. Maybe ya ought go and help it out." Lapis nods. "Of course. I just need you to watch Pumpkin for me. And you means she. Peridot is a girl." "Ow, sorry." Lapis begins to run but paused. "...laddie heads to mah crops of corns. Ya can find her in there." Lapis nods and runs toward the crop of corns.
Lapis lets out a frustrating huff as she shoved the corn stalks away from her. "Where is she?" Lapis mutters under her breath when she comes into the opening of corn crop. Lapis is surprised to see a blue peridot gem laid there in black goo but Peridot was nowhere to be seen. Lapis groans as she walked toward the blue gem. She examined the gem before bubbles it. Sudden she heard a gurgling sound from her right. She looks at her right and gasped in horror. Peridot crawls out the crop but she looks different. Her limbs are breaking from her body her head is oddly shaped like a pyramid. She's leaking black goo from her mouth, which it embodies the sharp teeth. Her visor had merged with her eyes, completely blackened by her goo. She lets out a gurgling growl then a slurred whimper. She crawled toward Lapis, trail of black goo trails from Peridot. Lapis chokes back tears as she kneels front Peridot as she snaps at her and whines softly. Then Lapis threw herself into Peridot, cannot stop crying over poor gremlin gets corrupted by a corrupted gem. Peridot lets a slurred whimpers as she rubs her head against Lapis's chin.
Okay, I will going to end it right there. If anyone wants sequel of this, let me know.
