A/N: Yo if any of you are my absolutely beautiful followers or someone new, I'm so sorry about not updating my other stories! I really am trying but I have so many ideas swirling around in my head and this happened to be one of 85 new ones this week.
Again, I'm sorry! Forgive me.
This is a promo for a fanfic i'm working on. if people like it I will continue.
Do you know Kyoshi Island?
I do.
It's where the Crystal Benders grew up.
At least, the second generation.
The first generation... They died a long, long time ago. About 5000 years ago.
They lived in the crystal catacombs, or Ancient Ba Sing Se.
When they passed away in an ancient war (one that was much shorter than the 100 year war), they had children. However, they could not bend. They passed on the techniques and relocated to Kyoshi Island.
Fast forward 4972 years. The many-times great grandchildren of the Crystal Benders (or crystal gems for short) suddenly regained their crystal-bending techniques that were so special to the Gems, smack in the middle of the war, when it had just reached year 92.
We relearned. I fought along with my friends, siblings, cousins.
I fought with the love of my life.
We were helping to win the war. We were pushing their armies back!
Then they unleashed the heat of 2000 firebenders.
Most, if not all of us perished. Me and two others were saved by the love of my life. The gemstones everyone wore around their necks to signify their names and which gem they could bend more easily than the rest lay shattered across the battlefield.
A loss. All of the Crystal Gems were gone.
Two years later, we found one small gem left. She was the runt of her family. However, she ran and hid instead of fighting because she was 5 at the time.
Her entire family was dead. She still had the shattered remains of their gems.
We took her in. She became one of us.
Another two years passed. In our village of Kyoshi, a travelling musician passed through, and the love of my life was the only one who went to the show.
A few months later, they were married. I was heartbroken. Someone I spent my entire existence loving and hoping after had chosen someone else.
Nine months and she was gone, dead because of childbirth, leaving her only son and a widower behind her. Her gem was given to her son.
Her son was named Steven.
My name is Pearl. I am one of the last remaining Crystal Gems. My lover was Rose Quartz. The other two she saved were Ruby and Sapphire. The runt we cared for was Amethyst. We are the last ones of our tribe. All we can do now is help with the war, and help protect Steven.
WE ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS.
