(No ones POV)

The hunt for the crystal gems had begun. Since the last movement of the rebels in an attempt to attack Blue Diamond, the defenses from homeworld in the colonies increase along with their security measures. Since then, you, along with your troops, have been looking for the leader of the rebels, Rose Quartz. But after a few weeks, you finally found Rose Quartz's hideout. Following Yellow Diamond's orders, you didn't hesitate to attack the temple and destroy every rebel in the place. But during the attack, the same Rose Quartz came to confront you in a battle without quarter. It was at the end of that battle that everything you knew changed its meaning completely. 

(Read the teaser if you want to know what happened in that battle)

It had been hours since you left to look for Rose Quartz and Ash was starting to worry about you. But just before Ash could organize a search party to look for you, the soldiers of your temple saw you in the distance as you walked towards the entrance.

The soldiers of the temple opened the door for you and they immediately stood in line to greet you. Ash was waiting for you at the entrance, but she started to worry about you when she saw you covered by some injuries and that you were holding your shoulder while walking. You walked looking at the ground as if you were thinking about something really important. The soldiers look at you in a confused way, asking themselves what happened during the fight so that someone like you is in that state. You headed straight for the stairs of the pyramid. Once at the top, you went to the throne chamber and sat on your throne while you were watching... Nothing, just the air. This only made Ash more concerned about your well-being.

Ash: Master Onyx?

There was no answer. Whatever it was you were thinking about, it was really distracting you from everything around you. Ash got nervous and she put a hand on your shoulder to catch your attention. But she quickly removed her hand when she saw you recoiling back when her hand touched your shoulder. You were for the first time nervous and anguished in your 500 years of existence. But even so, you tried to keep your composure despite your previous discovery.

Ash: Are you alright, master Onyx?

Onyx: I'm fine...

Ash: Are you sure? You still have some injuries and you are less communicative than normal, is something wrong? Something happened to you during the attack?

Onyx: The rebels... They gave me more fight than I expected.

Ash: I'm sure that you defeated Rose Quartz and the rebels despite the difficulties, right?

Once again, you took your time to answer Ash's question. You didn't want to lie about this, but you made a promise and until you made a decision you had to fulfill it.
