Far away in an alternate timeline, humans and those who had "magic" or "powers" which were discovered if someone has a birthmark on them when they are born, In this far away land there were three Kingdoms. Each ruled by a powerful sorceress', whom all went by the names of birthmark like crystals on their bodies. Yellow diamond, a strong and army run castle ruled the east with a mighty iron fist. White diamond, a mysterious and neutral queen ruled the west. Pink diamond, a kind and loving ruler, who loved all people, human or magic. She ruled the North. Last was blue diamond, a hard fisted but secretly sweet ruler, ruled the south. Each of these rulers ruled over magic wielding, and human subjects. Some were kind to their subjects. Others, not so much. Due to the kingdom's each having their own thoughts and opinions of humans and those of magic, some of the kingdoms had the urge to wage war. Yellow diamond, for years had her eye out to take out Blue, due to her close friendship with Pink diamond. However, due to Blue having two, powerful, young daughters, Yellow had decided for her eldest to marry her successor. They had agreed that with their kingdoms together they would produce peace and prosperity. Though this seemed very unlikely to Blue, since Yellow was more of a war lord queen, but the arranged marriage had been agreed on. So, from Blue's two daughters, Sapphire and Lapis, Sapphire had been chosen to marry Yellow's eldest and only child, Jasper, by the age of eighteen. And so, at the young age of nine Sapphires future was sealed.
Five years later. Clouds hovered above a dark blue stone palace, a young and beautiful long silver haired girl in an elegant blue dress, stood out on a large and elegantly stone carved balcony that protruded from the highest tower of the castle. Her beautiful crystal blue eyes stared out blankly to the far village that lay bellow her castle. Her mind wondering from future vision to future vision. Her powers, allowed her to see many paths she could take in her future. Each day, depending on what had done that day they would change. This making her almost feel like it was impossible to do anything, for fear it would change her future fate. Most of her visions were of her feeling warm and holding someones hand. It was warm and soft. Yet calloused and strong. A darker skinned figure, though blurred would show in her mind. Some days however, the vision of her brute fiancé would show up. It would show Jasper hurting her and pushing her around as well as harming others around her. She would shutter at those visions. During this time, however, her vision was of that blurry warm feeling person. She was trying her hardest to focus on that person…. "Light….Brown eyes," *SPLASH!* Water suddenly poured down on Sapphire's head. The vison disappeared in an instant, as she jumped and let out a small shriek of surprise from the sudden burst of water that landed on her head.
A giggle was heard from above her head. She snapped out of her shock and craned her neck up, "Lapis…." She said with an annoyed sigh. The dark blue haired beauty was hovering over her giggling, her water wings flapping slowly flapping to keep her up as she giggled at her sister. Lapis was a few years younger than her sister, but still managed to grow slender and taller than Sahhpre. "Why so blue Sapphy? It's a beautiful day out!" She did a small flip in the air, her dark blue summer dress fluttering in the breeze, before looking down again at a not very amused Sapphire. Sapphire, without even lifting a hand froze Lapis' wings, sending her quickly down with a thud onto the balcony that Sapphire was once alone on. Lapis lay there dazed for a moment before sitting up looking annoyed. "Whats with you?!" she said angrily, rubbing the back of her head, "Usually you at least yell at me then laugh…. Whats eating you?" Slowly with a hiss she stood up. Sapphire had turned away from her sister and began to make her way through the two beautifully made blue glass doors, and into her room. Decorated in shades of blue and white. A large fluffed bed, a dresser and various other trunks and knik nacks lay about her room. Lapis sighed and followed her sister into her room. Sapphire quickly dropped to her bed and let out a long hard sigh before covering her face with her hands and dragging them down her cheeks. Lapis stood in the entrance for a moment studying the silver haired girl. The dark blue haired girl sighed and ran a hand through her shoulder trimmed hair and walked over to the bed, softly laying next to the aggravated girl. She propped herself up on an elbow and faced towards Sapphire, "You want to talk about it Sapphy? Is it about those visions you keep having?"
Sapphire only let out a huff and a nod. Her hands still covering her eyes. Lapis nodded and laid on her back. "You cant keep doing that you know…. It will only make you sad and aggravated." Sapphire lowered her hands, tears quickly spilled out from them as she began to speak softly, "Lapis, what if I never meet them? That blurred vision…." Lapis turned her face towards her sister, whos cold demeaner was beginning to melt, She smiled at Sapphire, describing this mystery person with such sweetness in her voice, "When I have a vision of them its as if every part of me is a light, so soft and warm…. And so-," A sudden urgent knock sounded upon the door, making both girls jump straight up in bed. Sapphire quickly wiped away her tears with a white gloved hand and cleared her throat. "Yes?!" She answered. A voice of a guard sounded on the other side, "Pardon me princess but your mother requests an audience with you and your sister. My guess is she is with you so please, as soon as possible make your way to the throne room. She has guest awaiting your arrival as well." Lapis looked at her sister who gave out a long sigh. "Thank you, Topaz, you may go, Ill be there shortly." Topaz's boots were heard quickly scuffed along the hard stone floor as she made her way away from Sapphire's door. Sapphire stared at the door for a moment, zoned out for a minute or so. Lapis stared at her until Sapphire quickly shook her head and closed her eyes tight and then opened them quickly.
Sapphire stood quickly from the bed and turned her head to Lapis, her face blank of emotion. "Well, lets go and greet our guests." Lapis just stared up at Sapphire, "Sapphy, we can always go and hide ya know?" She gave a wide smile, "Like when we first had to go and meet that brute of a girl!" She jumped up her hands on her hips, we could jus-" A coldness quickly rose in the room. Making Lapis close her mouth and give a slight shiver. "I cant do that anymore…." Sapphire's dress was beginning to freeze her to the ground. "Sapphire…." Lapis looked a bit defeated…. "Come, we must go." She said almost too quiet for anyone to actually hear her as she turned to the door, the ice slowly began to retreat as Sapphire made her way through the threshold. Lapis only shook her head and followed behind a little more behind than usual. "This cant go on… much longer… I hope…. Theres still four more years until she has to marry Jasper….maybe something might happen to change it all…." Lapis thought to herself as she followed, her eyes to the grey stone ground. They made their way down the stairs, to the throne room. Two giant guards stood before them.
They saluted them, creating a diamond sign with their hands. To which both girls curtsied to them. The guards gave light bows before opening the two heavy lard doors. Reveling a giant thrown room. Usually filled with their mother royal subjects and higher ups. Today however, there was only her mother and BP, her mothers personal hand maid, and four hooded figures in the throne room. Sapphire stood in shock for a moment, unsure of what to think. "Ah Sapphire! Come in." Her mother called softly to her, but loud enough for her voice to echo to her. Sapphire stood there for a few more seconds until Lapis stepped forward, nudging her sister forward. Sapphire quickly snapped out of her stupor and began her way towards her mother, Lapis following close behind. Three of the figures quickly dropped one knee while the fourth one bowed low but stood shaky, as Sapphire made her way down the long path. Not one of them turned to look up…. Except for a last one who peeked up slightly. Only to be smacked with a stick from the one hooded figure who was still bowed very low. The third one quickly dropped their gaze to the floor again. Sapphire gave a small glance, trying to catch the face of the third hooded figure but was not quick enough to see anything but the dirt covered leather hood. Quickly she turned her attention to her mother and gave a gracious curtsey. Followed of course by Lapis who smiled brightly up at her mother. Blue diamond gave a small warm smile to her two daughters. "My dearest Sapphire, and my beloved Lapis." She opened her arms for them to come and hug her. To which both ascended the 20 steps to get to their mother. She reached for them and swept them into a hug, one under each giant arm. She held them close and kissed them each on the head before carefully turning them to face their visitors who all had stayed in their positions as they had when Sapphire and lapis had passed.
Blue diamond smiled, "You may all rise." The three figures quickly stood and the fourth carefully straightened up. Their faces still covered by their hoods. Sapphire kept staring at the third hooded figure who had looked up at her as she had passed. Something was… familiar about them….. "Sapphire." The silver haired princess jumped at the sound of her mother saying her name. She quickly looked up to her mother, who signaled towards the three figures. "These are your new red guards. Since you are close to the age of marrying and soon ruling, I thought it best to give you your own personal guard." The three figures lowered their hoods to reveille three look alike girls with poofy curly hair and dark skin. Sapphire froze… literally…. "The third one…..." She said just bellow a whisper, "Her eyes…." The girl looked up with a nervous smile, "Their light brown…." Lapis looked over at Sapphire muttering, and gave a light gasp of realization. Blue diamond looked down at the silver haired princess, "What is wrong my dear? Do you not like your surprise?" Sapphire quickly snapped back to reality and shook her head, trying to remain calm and collect. "No, I absolutely love my gift. I am just a bit over whelmed with the honor of having my own guard…." She turned her attention back to the three girls. "Please, let me know your names?" She smiled as she spoke softly to them. The one nearest the still hooded figure stepped forward first, "I am Maroon, your highness." She knelt quickly. The second gave a small cough and stepped next the other, " Magenta, at your service." She knelt as well. Finally the third Sapphire had been staring at took a shy step forward and cleared her throat, she closed her eyes and threw her first over her chest, "Ruby, my princess!" She grinned widely, "Together my sisters and I will protect you from here until our dying day."
Sapphires heart skipped a few beats….. what….. Sapphire put her hand to her chest. Ruby quickly bowed and knelt quickly her face extremely red. Blue diamond nodded, "Thank you. Of course there is also their trainer to introduce. He makes sure they train every morning and every night. So during the days and nights they will not be with you." She turned towards the last hooded figure, "Marty, you may step forward." The man removed his hood and stepped forward giving a small bow. "Pardon for not kneeling, my back is bad from… an accident." He looked down towards the three girls who each got up but kept their attention to the ground. Blue diamond only nodded, "It is no worry of mine," She looked to the right of her and raised her hand to the blue stone wall. A rather tall and large guard emerged from the stones. "Topaz, please show our guests to their quarters and bring them dinner. Be sure to have them all bathed. For tomorrow they will be joining us for breakfast." Topaz gave a nod and turned towards the guards and Marty. "Please follow me." She turned and quickly made her way down towards the doors. Marty following after her as quick as he could. The three red guards quickly following behind. Ruby brought up the back….but quickly looked back once more. Sapphire was looking towards a wall, her hand gripping her dress tightly…Ruby turned her attention back to her walk and noticed she had fallen a bit behind, she began to speed up her walk until she exited the door with the rest. Blue diamond chuckled, "Looks like that last one is a bit curious about being in such a big place." She rested her head on her hand, "Its funny to think they are triplets…. Each with powers. Its hard to find triplets all with powers…. Especially in their class…the daughters of farmers…. But they have proven to me their strength and will to fight and protect." Sapphire only hummed a response. Lapis nodded and would add little comments here and there. Blue took a deep breath and released…. "Well my dears, now that, that is all settled and taken care of there is some important business arriving soon. She straightened up in her chair. "You may go."
Sapphire and Lapis turned and bowed, "See you for dinner tonight?" Lapis asked with hopefulness in her voice. "We shall see." The queen waved her hand to shew the girls off. Sapphire and Lapis both nodded and began to walk down the long room towards the door. Lapis just trailing a little bit behind. Sapphire was walking quicker than her usual even paced walk. Lapis knew Sapphire wanted to talk about what had just happened. The doors quickly opened and closed, Sapphire not missing a beat began to quickly walk again, Lapis followed, giving a quick glance back at her mother, before the doors closed. She quickly sped up her speed to Sapphire and grabbed her hand, "Easy there Sapph! Tell me, whats going on!" They both slowed and Sapphire looked around before leaning towards Lapis to whisper in her ear excitedly. "It's the girl from my visions!" Lapis' eyes widened.
