Escapism -Lapis'Ttale
Chapter 1
Space was exactly what the water winged gem wanted -well, space! However, loneliness wasn't intended. Sure, being away by at least, well, 186,456 kilometres or so from that tiny, little, chartreuse green gem called Peridot wasn't so bad but something was pulling her down to Earth, literally. In a blink of an eye, a large neon yellow-green ship emerged before Lapis' cold, empty eyes. An old memory stirred in her head as long era II rope made of digital fibre wrapped around thei-, no, her rickety barn that floated peacefully in the empty nothingness of space.
It was at least 6000 years ago on the Earth colony, only a couple hundred years before the infamous attack on Pink Diamond made by the rebel leader Rose Quartz. Lapis was sent to Earth alongside many others of the same cut for a Lapis were essential, as they had the ability to terraform land, to make kindergartens. When she arrived, the cerulean-haired gem noticed a fleet of approximately 1000 citrine guards and a single gem with neon green hair and pale lime skin. She was Emerald. Emerald was the most highly ranked gem in the yellow court and commander of The Sun Incinerator, that's what it's called! Suddenly the image demystified and the crystal found herself back in reality.
Steven. Why couldn't he just understand that Lapis has had enough of torment and drama in the world? Speaking of Steven, the gem hybrid was standing firm in front of her. "Lapis! You're okay! We were so worried that you were gone for good!" The young teen confessed with glee. Looking around, Lapis noticed several gem cuts that she hadn't seen for millennia: two rutile but… they were conjoined?!; a small orange Sapphire that mimicked what Steven said; A Rhodonite fusion of a pearl and ruby? ; and what was that giant prismatic caterpillar fusion? And is that Connie and the doughnut boy peridot talked about? "Umm…Lapis, these are the Off Colours, Padparadsha, Rhodonite, the Twins and Fluorite. Oh, and Lars and Connie too!" He explained simply. "…Why." Lazuli whispered under her breath, "What?",
"I said why! I told you to just leave me alone and let me stay away!" She yelled,
"What? But we all miss you, even Peridot misses you, she misses you, the barn and Camp Pining Hearts Season 8?" He replied squeamishly,
"Oh, Peridot misses me?! Peridot! Do you think I miss that infuriating rock that doesn't even understand basic emotion!?" Her deep cobalt eyes Turned a plum shade whilst bloodshot,
"Lapis, please stop!",
"Yeah c'mon water lady." Lars and Connie squeaked desperately.
"Y'know what, I'll stop! I need to give relax so just don't say anything!" She announced then stormed off.
Several murmurs were whispered under the Off Colours' breath. Barely any noise bounced off the brightly lit walls covered in diamond emblems that were graffitied with funny slogans including " The Di-DUMB ASS-thority". A little voice sprung up, coming from a tiny peach sapphire,
"Oh No! Lapis is going to get angry!"
