Hi guys! This is a new story that I have been thinking about doing. Tell me what you think. First off, every chapter is going to start with a made up poem or exert from a gem. Don't forget to review! So here it is.

The first installment of The tale of the Fallen!

Prologue

A Diamond shines Bright

With Death

Roses are red

with blood

and Sacrifice

A city burns

And I am to witness

The beginning

The End

Worry not for it will be over

The story that doomed us all

But I can not finish

For I weep

Over the Fallen

The Start of the Fall

"I will not stand for this!" Yelled Rose Quartz.

"Listen to me sister, we could have it all. Don't you understand? Do you even comprehend what we could do?" Diamond asked her sister and fellow queen of the Gems.

Rose waved a hand at her, disgusted with what she was hearing. She then walked over to the window in the throne room, looking out into the capital city, Rylan. It was some time before she turned around. "We are not conquerors." she said flatly.

"Think of all the possibilities. All the good we could bring." Diamond replied, baffled at her sisters lack of shortsightedness.

"And to do so would bring death and chaos." Rose responded. Looking over at the two thrones, she then added "We are not empresses."

"No. We are not. But we are Queens. We do what is best for our people. For our Queendom!" Diamond screamed.

"Our people don't want to be tyrants."

"We can bring peace to the universe. Wealth and prosperity! We could be the givers of life."

"And how much blood must we spill in order to do so?" Rose asked, turning to face her sister. "How much pain and suffering? We are a peaceful people. We look upon the universe with beauty and love, not with fire and war."

"There needs to be no war. Don't you think others will join our cause? Other worlds?"

"No."

"Might I interject for a moment, your Highnesses?" Chancellor Kyanite interrupted.

"Please, shed some wisdom. I believe my sister is in lack right now." Rose said, glaring at Diamond.

"Highness, even if we were do as you wished, we don't have the need to do so. We have all the resources we could ask for. Wealth and love is prosperous throughout the planet. Life is good."

"See Diamond." Rose nodded in agreement with Kyanite. "We don't have any need too."

"Why won't you listen!?" Diamond screamed, patience wearing thin.

"And why won't you think?" Rose replied. Diamond glared at her, eyes looking hurt and betrayed.

"Maybe you should go cool down. Take a retreat out into the country." Rose suggested.

"Maybe you're right sister. I will do as you say." Bowing, she made her way out the door. When the door slammed in her wake, all was silent for many minutes. Rose sighed then, turning to the Royal Chancellor. "I think Diamond has been thinking too much of late, don't you think?"

"She is just ambitious, that's all. Let her cool down for a while."

"I believe I could use a cool down as well." Rose replied, rubbing her forehead. "I need a bath."

"Shall I call a servant, Rose?" Kyanite asked, concerned for her Queen.

"No, old friend, I'll do it my self. I will see you tonight."

"Aye, my Queen. Aye."

In the outermost part of the city

"My sister is a bitch." Diamond complained. She looked over to her personal advisor, Bloodstone.

"She was a fool to dismiss you. Now she will pay." Bloodstone replied, standing next to her Queen. Diamond looked down at the floor that was directly beneath her. "Yes she will." she murmured. For they were in her underground base, and before her was the army she had been building for years.

"Are our spies in place?" Diamond looked over to Bloodstone.

"Yes, every single one."

"Good." she whispered. "Now it's time to rain chaos."

"Are we ready to start the meeting?" Rose asked, looking at all her royal members.

"Almost, your Highness. We seem to still be missing a representative from Diamond."

Kyanite said.

"No matter. She is probably still mad at me. Let's begin, shall we?" Rose announced. She was about ready to announce the first order of business, when all of a sudden the ground shook.

"What was that?" came a random voice.

"Let me see." Rose told everyone. Walking over to the window, she gasped.

"Oh No!" Rose yelled. Looking out she saw Rylan, burning. Deadly magic tearing through. Screams. Suffering.

"Death." Diamond said, marching for the castle.
