"what is that?"
"I don't know. I've never seen a gem like this"These where the first words I heard. I looked up to see two gems. One was a short and stocky green gem. He had a good but it was down, he had a visor which was slightly cracked down the top left. Next to him was a blue gem. He seemed extremely excited, in a blue suit and tie with the collar up and his gem placed firmly on his right cheek
"Hello. We weren't expec-"
"YOUR NEW! COMPLETELY NEW!" The blue gem squeels in excitement. Helping me up and softly jumping up and down "HOW DO YOU FEEL? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE? WE NEED TO GET YOU TO RED DIAMOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!" he shouts. Not letting the other green gem speak a word before dragging me off. Away from my birthplace. The air felt cold and fast, I looked up to see the purple clouds and starts in the sky. Being immediately captivated by the beauty of the sky. I would have stopped to get used to my situation. The mountains. The Barron hills and far-off volcanos and mountins. The volcanos spewing smoke and fire into the sky. The blue gem dragging me to a large, red spire. The large door towering over. Like Something gigantic lurks inside. The slim blue gem presses a button, flashing a warm smile at me and the green gem that had finally caught up, shooting a angry look back at them. The large door opens, slowly moving up, then splitting half way up. Reveling a large throne room. There was a large. Red woman in a long, magnificent dress. With long curly hair. She was leaning on her hand and going through what looked like holographic sorting system. As I looked at her. I noticed the smaller red gem in front of her. Looking slightly angry.
"What is the meaning of this" she piped up. Slowly walking towards them. Before seeing me.
"Pearl! T-t-this. T-this" the blue gem is stuttering. Trying his hard to find his words. Before the green gem pushes past
"We have discovered a new gem" she seemed shocked by this. Looking back to her diamond. Seeing that the diamond is interested. She spoke
"Bring it here" she spoke softly. The Pearl took my hand and brought me in front of the diamond. She looked down on me. Leaning down and picking me up to get a better look at me "hmm. Interesting. Your a odd one. So late in the planets life cycle. So close to us moving on. And you pop up. Rather unique" she softly smiles "your name. Is Panite. We have something very special on our hands right now. I can feel it"After that, I was assigned to her personal guard. I learned that it was a lapis lazuli and a peridot. The lapis, the peridot and I all got to know each other very well. We were in alpha home world. The main hub. And epicenter of the gem rule. In my pastime, I explored planets and researching the endemic life. Or fighting in the ring, many gems watched the fights. But little could say that took part, this is where I learned how to use my gem wepon properly. A short sword that could switch into a elemental charged great sword and back again. After centurys of fighting, I had made a reputation for myself but, having the dust and shards of shattered gems on your hands makes you a different person. My skills had attracted the attention of red diamond yet again. Where I was put in a secret gem shatter squad. We called ourselves "reds retribution". After the sudden surge in rebel activity in the 1st era. We where dispatched to deal with it. And that was the first time I witnessed earth.
When we arrived. We were greeted happily by all the diamonds there. All but one. The small pink diamond. She seemed completely opposite of everything I stood for. It was... fascinating! Unlike my squad mates. I was assigned to the small pink diamond and Forced to train her pearl. She was already good, had a natural talent for it. I was able to play off her love for pink. Getting her to go faster, and fight harder than any pearl before her. But training her ment I spent alot of time with pink, she didn't like me at first. She didn't like the fact I was created to shatter gems, but after a while we began to talk alot, about the pearl and what she wanted from the earth. That's when I first heard them talking about the rebellion. The crystal gems. But I had my own special name for it, after all those years of shattering gems. I wanted to go something good with the name I give to my squad. "The red rebellion"
"I've always prefer the crystal gems" garnet buts into my story
"Of course you do. It was her name for it. But I had my own reasons" I repeat myself. Steven Giggles and leans against me before he looks at me
"I like them both! Now. Continue with the story!" He pleads
"Eh. It's pretty late petal" petal was a small nickname I gave Steven before he was born. Pink.. I mean rose has always wanted to have a human child. So I gave it a code name. "Rose petal" and she liked it so much it was going it be his or her name for a while. I tuck Steven in. Smiling warmly at him. He folds his arms and huffs. Silently complaining before yawning and cuddling deeper into the covers. I leave him to sleep after garnet calls me over quietly. I meet her outside.
"Are you going to tell him?"
"I don't know yet"
"You lost it after..."
"I know"
"I couldn't function if I lost Ruby or sapphire. I can't imagine how you feel"
"I miss him.. I wanna be grandidierite again. I would give anything"
"... I'm sorry"
"Don't be"
Just after saying sorry. Garnet brakes down into tears. I hold her shoulder and softly and quietly comforts her.
"It's ok. I'm ok with you to being together around me. I promise. You don't need to unfuse to make me feel better. I don't deserve special treatment...Not after everything I've done"
