POV: Peridot
Scene; Earth (1000 yrs ago...)
"Why?!" I screamed. I wasn't able to stop her. Now, she was gone. As fire engulfed around me, & the emotion, I know now as unadulterated, "fear" choked my muscles, imoblizing me, as stood in horror, for I couldn't advert my eyes from the menaces that caused these tragic events. I saw their flag waving in the distance. I'd never forget clod awful flag. It was pink with, what appeared to be, a "rose" in the center.

"They caused this." I said to myself.
I heard a voice shout, "That's right! You better run! Rose, this looks like another victory for the Crystal Gems."
I got to get out here!'. I think to myself as I ran towards a clearing outside the structure, but I was stopped by this tall, muscular figure. I wasn't for the gems in her hand, I would have thought she was male. She was the that destroyed this place.
She picked me up by my hair, & in a monotone voice, commanded,
"Join me, or end up like your or end up your friend there, & I know you don't want that."
She knew a couldn't resist. It was either join her & live, or be free & die.
I chose to live.
