Prologue
For centuries upon centuries, and even a few millennia, rumors of a fifth member of the diamond authority circled through groups of gems hidden in the underground's of colonies. Literally thousands of these stories were passed around, gem to gem, planet to planet. Almost every gem has heard some version of this story. Diamonds of all colors: black, red, brown, even one story of a burgundy diamond. All of these stories, however, were just that: stories. They held neither truth nor merit. But one story, unlike the others, held truth. That story, was that of Green Diamond.
None knew what process was the creation of the Diamonds, but whatever it was, Green was a failure. Placed within a bubble, and sent out into the endless void of space. Some say Green landed safely on a remote planet, and now plots revenge on the Authority. Others claim that Green still floats in the inky-blackness that is space. Most, however, say that Green never existed at all.
All of the stories hold some truth to them, but this is the only one that is more than rumors and fiction.
