There is a war going on all around me, but I think my side's winning.
I hear the screams of other gems, and I wish I could help them, but I can't. Wherever I look, I see someone fighting. If I squint, I can see Rose Quartz fighting in the distance, but I can't tell who. I see her assistant, Pearl, who fights to my right. I see Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet, and I see them fight too. Though I am gracious that I beat my last opponent, all I can think about are those that are still fighting, those who are shattering. I snap out of this trance when someone comes up to me. Her name is Jasper, she is a strong gem, with the same hardness as me: 7.0, though sometimes I can pass for a 7.5. She is coming my way. I summon my weapon, and she summons hers. We go into combat. I have the upper hand. I'm doing good, holding her off. Her strength, though superior, is no match for my agility and tricks. I go in for another blow when I feel a sword go through my middle. That's odd. Jasper doesn't fight with a sword. Then the sword is taken out and it seems I was stabbed in the back.
I can't retreat into my gem to regenerate, but this wound is bad. Terrible. I-I w-w-won't re-r-retreat. I-I c-c-c-can't st-st-stop f-f-fighting. I-I w-won't endanger m-m-myself b-by r-retreating. I-I...
My name was Tourmaline.
I fought in the rebellion, for Earth.
I hope my side won.
AN: I hope you enjoyed! I just thought that there were many stories of the war that never get told since, unfortunately, the gems shattered. Just a reminder, that none of Steven Universe belongs to me (have to put it in there... -_-).
You're the best! Please Review!
