Not a gem


Somewhere, at a beach next to a giant stone, a lump of metal was found. Its shining surface reflected the sunlight. It had a humanoid shape, like the others. Its origin was not known, but it was speculated that it was also born from the giant stone.

It could not move, nor could it speak. It just laid there, doing nothing. It tried to move, though. It looked around, observing the beach in its half-awakened state. It felt like it had forgotten something, someone endearing to it. But it couldn't remember. It couldn't do anything in that situation. It felt like it had done something stupid again.

Days after days, nights after nights, it just laid there, doing nothing because of its uselessness. It looked up into the sky. That night, the moon were shining bright down onto it.

Silence. Only the sea wave was heard. It could not stand being useless like that. Beside, being a useless Master once was tiring enough.

Huh? Master?

Something was still bogging its mind, but it couldn't remember however hard it tried.

He could only vagually remember a smile, but did not know whose.

For the time being, he tried to move again. Nothing happened.

Again, and again, and again.

Then the sound of metal grinding against metal was heard.

It looked.

Its left "arm" had raised up.

Then there were silent.

Footsteps were heard.

Closer, closer and closer, the sound of the footstep was getting bigger.

The metallic lump tried to turn around. With great effort, it finally did it.

It saw a mysteriously beautiful being in front of it.


Hey guys, Stir Drem here. These first few chapters would be based on Blankettt's Bejeweled Sword first chapter, but from then on it will be an original story. If Blankettt is reading this, I'm sorry.
