Morganite squeezed her jewel case harder. Her life depended on this. If the diamonds were dissatisfied with her work she would be shattered, as she used so many resources for this project. But she hoped that they would be satisfied, they should be. But she still was quite unsure, as diamonds were quite fickle.
As the door opened and Yellow diamonds generals walked out Morganite breath out and walked in.
Yellow diamond was sitting on her throne, her pearl next to her. When she saw the Morganite she moved the contents on her table away and leaned in, to better see her.
"Have you completed you assignment?"
"Yes my diamond." Morganite put down her jewel case and did the diamond salute.
"Well then, don't waste my time for any longer"
"Of course my diamond" Morganite quickly opened the case and took out a stone.
It was oval shaped and was black with different color streaks running across it. The gem was quite bigger than quartz, but still far smaller than a diamond. She put it down on the ground and removed a small metallic apparatus from its backside. Gem rose in the air and a body of solid light started forming around it.
When the body fully formed the gem was nearly a half taller than the Morganite, putting it a head taller than an average quartz. It's was not only tall, but also massive, of a heavier build than any other warrior gem, a perfect soldier for a new era of war.
When it saw the diamond she took one knee and proclaimed
"My diamond"
Yellow diamond walked around the kneeling gem and her creator next to it, analyzing, observing, searching for any imperfections, but to her surprise she couldn't find any.
"It seems you have done a quite worthy job, but I see one problem with it. Why is there only one? We gave you enough resources to produce an entire squadron, where are the others?"
"There were several complications… This is the perfect specimen; others were just barely stronger than quartzes…"
"By how much?"
"Could defeat in battle…" Morganite hoped this would be enough… She knew that her situation was dire; she failed to create gems powerful enough to meet the expectations.
"Could defeat in battle..." The Diamond repeated. "That was not what I ordered… You were ordered to make soldiers stronger than a quartz, but you clearly failed at it, this is unacceptable! If you want to save yourself, your chance is now, so speak!"
Morganite had only one trump card to protect herself and so she threw it out, hoping that it would work.
"They can be made in only a few hundred years!" She screamed out, all of her faith put into one sentence.
The diamond seemed surprised. She then smiled. And uttered one sentence.
"In that case, begin mass production."
