Prologue (Part 1)
No one's POV
Long, long ago, on a planet undiscovered, 2 gems were taking refuge. The planet consisted of jungles, fields, and various bodies of water. Lots of hiding places. But there was no need for hiding right now. It would take the Diamond Authority years to find this place. Especially since they're distracted by the war. Currently, one such gem was going for a stroll through the jungle. He lets out a sigh as he thinks about how peaceful it is.
'This planet is perfect' he thinks to himself 'no predators, no war, nobody to tell us what to do. It's so peaceful.'
His name is Chrysoberyl. He wears a light green lab coat and darker green jeans. His hair is fairly short dark green hair that looks as though it had never seen a comb in his life. Which it hadn't. He was once a scientist working for the Authority, but now he's on the run. But at least he's not alone. He's still got…
*SNAP*
Chrysoberyl turned around, hand hovering over his gem, a light green gem located on the right side of his right leg, just over his knee cap. He knows he heard a twig snap behind him, but he doesn't see anyone. Just trees. He sighs, relaxes, then turns around to continue his walk. And stares right into a pair of red eyes staring right back. From about an inch away.
"Boo."
"Gah!" Chrysoberyl shouts, stumbling backwards before falling into a sitting position.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" The child laughs, releasing the vine he was holding onto, falling to the ground, rolling around laughing his head off.
"Alex!" Chrysoberyl shouts, standing up "That wasn't funny! You scared me!"
"That's why it's funny!" The red gem child Alex says. He appears to be fairly young, roughly 8 or 9 by human standards. He wears a sleeveless shirt, a darker shade of red than his skin, and matching gem could be seen on his left shoulder.
Then, as Alex was getting up, two things happened almost simultaneously. First, he stopped laughing. Second, a wave of green began to spread across Alex's body, starting at his gem, ending at the center of his chest. Every color on Alex's body was replaced with a shade of green. This change only took a second or two.

"Sorry. Alex thought it would be funny to frighten you. I was against the idea." The child said.
"*Sigh* It's fine, Rite. It was pretty funny." Chrysoberyl said
CHANGE
"Pretty funny?" Alex responds "I thought that was was hilarious!" he shouts before bursting into a new fit of giggles.
"Ha Ha" Chrysoberyl chuckles. He looks up through the trees and sees the colors of sunset. "It's getting late. We should probably go home. Don't want to get stuck out here in the dark."
"Alright. Race ya!" He shouts as he takes off running, only to trip on a tree root 2 seconds later.
"Ow…" he says as he gets back up and looks as the root. "Where the...?" he questions before being interrupted.
CHANGE
"Heh Heh. Gotcha." Rite chuckles.
CHANGE
"What?! Didn't that hurt you too?" Alex questioned angrily.
CHANGE
"Pfft." Rite responds "Worth it."
CHANGE
"Alright you two," Chrysoberyl says "let's get going."
The walk was quiet. They kept their eyes on the path ahead. Alex turned and looked at the person at his side and asked the question that had been on his mind since they had arrived here several days ago.
"How soon can we leave?"
Chrysoberyl didn't respond immediately. He kept staring ahead. Alex was beginning to wonder if he had heard him when he responded.
"Maybe next year"
