A/N: I would like to remind y'all that none of this art is mine. I will give credit, but just know it's not mine. Anyways, hi, nice to see you're still reading. Enjoy please.
It was a day after the meeting and Peridot was riding on her horse to the blue region. Following her was the "Ruby Squad" that consisted of Doc, Navy, Leggy, Eyeball, and Army. Peridot still doesn't understand why they call themselves that nor how they were named, but she honestly didn't care. She did care about the noise they were making.
"Of course Jasper was sent into Azula's land," she muttered to herself. "Preventing me from doing my mission."
Soon, she saw buildings and Azula's castle and scowled at the thought of people as she pulled up her hood. She gently pulled the reins, getting her horse to slow to a casual stroll. She ignored the faces that stared at her in awe and fear. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her thigh and heard the people around her gasp. She tensed and looked at the face of a girl who looked a week from dying of starvation.
Peridot's scowl softened to a soft frown before she moved her satchel from her lap and dug into it, bringing out a loaf of bread and fifteen gold coins and forty-three silver pieces. She wrapped them in a clean rag before giving them to the girl. The girl had stars in her eyes as she whispered, "Thank you." Peridot hesitated before patting her head in response and waited for the girl to go into the crowd. "Ym noitcetorp si nrow dnuora reh, gnitneverp esoht morf gnimrah reh," Peridot whispered before a small green wisp left her hand and shot towards the girl.
After the encounter with the girl, the Rubies had gone quiet, making Peridot wish they were being loud again. In the process, they passed by a tavern that emitted loud laughter and shouting.
When they reached the castle, Peridot got off her horse and handed the reins to one of the hostlers. Just as Doc was about to get off, she felt something lift her back onto her horse. "Go search for Jasper throughout the village. I'll ask around the castle," Peridot ordered, receiving their salutes in return before they went their separate ways. Peridot brought out her journal and wrote, "Now in Azula's region, I am searching for Captain Jasper Iratus for... help... in my quest to retrieve the mage from the first war, Prudens Poenitet. The squires that volunteered, known as the 'Ruby Squad' (I refer to them as the Rubies.) are currently searching Azula's region for the Captain. There is a forty percent chance that they may die."
After Peridot put away her journal, she then walked towards the door where someone was waiting for her. They then opened the door, making Peridot narrow her eyes before she walked in. She sighed in relief and annoyance when she saw that there weren't many people around.
...
"How has no one seen her?" she muttered irately to herself. "She's practically seven feet tall!" She calmed herself before turning to walk where the dining room was. She opened the doors and saw Azula and her daughter eating breakfast. She faltered for a second before going to one of the guards that were posted in this room.
"Have you seen Captain Iratus?" Peridot whispered, so as not to disturb Azula and her daughter. "Captain Iratus left to go to the Lonely Gem about an hour ago," the guard said. Peridot clenched her fist, going red in the face. The guard felt something move on his side. He then took a step back from the twitching sorceress, her face getting redder before she sighed, nodded at him and left.
It wasn't until after she left that the guard realized his sword was now bent and poking him.
...
When Peridot walked out, she realized that she needed to round up the Rubies. She rubbed her temples with both of her gloved-hands before walking to the stables to get her horse. She then rode around the town, searching for the Rubies. Navy was in a field of flowers, Doc and Army were in the market, looking at the products, while Leggy and Eyeball were in another part of the market, actually asking for where Jasper was.
