(Beach City's Lighthouse)
Abandoned, creepy, haunted. Those are the few words that would describe Beach City's Lighthouse. Nobody really goes to there, well except for two individuals. A certain paranormal-loving human, and a unusual looking girl. What makes her unusual was that she's blue. The hair, the skin, the eyes everything. But what makes the most unusual is the gem on her back. Which makes her what she is, a Lapis Lazuli, gem who's purpose is to terraform. But not this one, she chose to Rebel against Homeworld. Gems on sides say she did it because she wanted freedom, to have gems find their own purpose, not let it be chosen for them. Because she finds all life precious. But alas it's not the case... well most of it is not the case.
This particular gem finds solace in the Lighthouse for it quiet, peaceful atmosphere. She sits on top of the Lighthouse, overseeing the Crystal Temple, the beach, and rocking waves with a thoughtful expression on her face. Lapis let out a sigh and looked down at her baby bump with a affectionate look.
'I wonder what you'll be like?' Lapis thought placing a hand on her stomach. Things haven't been easy these past months
Knowing she won't have much longer to stay she let out the words she wanted to say. "Connie, I know that you'll won't hear me, see me, or really know me. But I want to say this or I'll end up regretting it. I'm excited to be a part of you, and that I love you. Even if I haven't, or will never meet you. In the beginning I saw you as another prison, I very bitter and angry for awhile."
Lapis then shut her eyes real tight and clenched her fist as a unpleasant began to surface "The reason for this is because a long time ago a gem I thought of as a close friend betrayed me by pinning the blame of her mistakes on me, as punishment for my 'misdeeds' I was imprisoned on the mirror. I saw gems live out their lives, while I've lived a thousand years dormant, alone and forgotten. It made me very bitter and angry at every gem who lived happy while I suffer!"
Lapis took a few breaths to calm herself and then replace a look of anger with a soft wistful expression. "But then things change when a Pearl accidentally dropped the mirror I was imprisoned in somewhere on Earth while she and her mistress were visiting Pink Diamond to deliver a message. A human child by the name of Constantina found me and took me to her village. She was very lonely, so she talked to me without knowing who I was or that I was listening."
Lapis then let out a soft laugh "I can still remember her surprised expression when I spoke. I grew so fond of her, eventually we ended up being friends." Lapis then lost her smile "That is until the Injectors were put in place. Injectors drain the life energy of Earth which made the crops of her village fail, eventually everyone either died of illness or starvation." Lapis eyes begin to tear up "In her dying breath Constantina freed me from my prison. I remember feeling so sad, and angry that I wanted revenge not only for my pain but her Constantina's life cutting short and I managed too. By winning the Rebellion, but at a terrible cost." Thinking of the gems who were corrupted. Friend and foe.
Lapis then wiped all her tears off then spoke in a affectionate tone. "But later I realized how foolish I have been. I remembered Constantina, how she still held out hope for the future, saw the good in everyone, and remained kind to others. At that point I realize I might give birth to someone like her."
Lapis then smiled "A child who will learn, grow, and see the Earth the way I never could. The only difference between you and Constantina is that you are going to be a child of two worlds. A gem and a human. A fusion of love of me and Doug that can never separate. I'm going to be with you in every step of the way. In your sad moments, in your happy moments, I'll be here with you."
Lapis then hugged her stomach "Always. I love you."
Author's note
The poll for who gets to be a Crystal Gem is set up now.
As you can tell Lapis kinda named Connie after Constantina. As a way to honor her memory.
