*Yay! I'm back with One True Family!

First, I would like to thank all my

followers and comments guys,

you're the people I write for!*


Jade explained that Jonah had been kidnapped by Peridot, and that they needed all the help they could get because he had Melany on his side. Her mother nodded as she heard her daughter continue on with the explanation. When Jade stopped, her mother spoke, "We will help you. But your aunt only deals with light magic and that can't be used to battle..." Jade sighed and turned to aunt, "Can you use it to locate Peri?" Fluorite nodded with a smile. Pearl sighed with joy, 'Finally, I can get my son back!' She squeezed Garnet's hand, Garnet responded by pulling her closer.

"Come now, we don't have much time." The three gems followed the sisters into the small hut they called a house. Pearl took notice of all the sunflowers, lilies, and a few gem flowers such as; the gredás (a blue flower with the softest petals, that were rounded, and a blue gem in the middle), jasses (a dark red flower with petals that end in a point. It's gems were in small pieces on the petals.) "If you don't mind me asking, what are the flowers for?" Pearl's curiosity amused Flora, "I use them to make potions. They are great for healing, especially jasses."

Pearl smiled, more knowledge for her magnificent brain. Pearl looked around the small hut, 'So many potions and healing things!' Garnet watched her wife as she let her mind explore the wonders of this small house. She smiled, 'I guess that's where Jonah gets his thirst knowledge from...' She looked down, trying not to tear up, although she never said it aloud, she felt like Jonah's disappearance was her fault. She should've just listened to Pearl, and let Jonah stay with them.

"Garnet?" Garnet looked up into Pearl's eyes, "Yes, dear?"

"Are you alright?" Garnet nodded, "Yea...just, I'm ready for Jonah to be back with us..." Pearl smiled, "As am I...but we need their help to do it, so just bare with me, okay?"

Garnet nodded once in response as the continued. When they got to the back of the hut, the three gems saw a huge cauldron. Flora smiled, and took a reddish sand out of her pocket. She threw it into the cauldron and it came to life. It oozed a bright pink, and it smelled of various flowers. 'Hmm, never though magic could smell good...' Garnet watched with anticipation as Flora swirled a stick-like spoon in the cauldron. She said a few words that Garnet couldn't make out.

"Quickly, Pearl, Garnet, come!" The couple immediately went to the witch's side, "Look in the pot, dears..." Pearl held Garnet hand as she looked down into the now magenta color water. Pearl gasped, "That's the old Solar Temple. It hasn't been used in over 4,000 years. Why would Peri be there?" She looked back down and noticed a small opening deep within the temple, that led to an underground chamber.

Just as things were starting to look up, a black mist in the shape of a dragon appeared in the temple. Flora looked at it, "What on Ear-" It shot out at them with an ear piercing sound. The monster knocked them all back, knocking all, but Garnet and Tanzy, to the ground. Garnet immediately ran to Pearl's side as Tanzanite yelled, "Flora, what's going on?!" Fluorite got up and ran to her sister's side to calm her down. The dragon had disappeared, "It's gone now." Tanzanite sighed, "Where's Jade?" Flora led her sister to her daughter, who was rubbing the back of her now aching head.

"Jade, are you alright?"

"Yea, I'm alright, mom." Jade smiled and hugged her mother. On the inside, she felt a little bad for her mother, knowing that she used to be able to see...The last time her mother her beloved children and sister, Jade was merely five. Even after her new disability, she knew of the evil her son and daughter had done, how they had worked together to conquer vengeance and power. But, Flora had told her that Jade will end her rein as soon as she realizes her true destiny.

Her mother shed a single tear knowing her daughter's destiny will be her fate. "Mom?"

"Jade, listen to me. You're to be a hero, to help, to be the Gem you were made to be." Jade was confused, she broke away from her mother, "What do you mean?" Her mother just smiled, a sad, sad smile. "Mom, please answer me!" Jade felt something swell inside her heart as she continued to look into her mother's blank, blind eyes, and understood. "...yes mom..." Jade hugged her mother and aunt, "I love you two, so much..." She started crying, and so did the last of her family. They held each other as Garnet held Pearl, who was still passed out.

"Pearl, dear. Wake up, please." Garnet started to worry, until she felt Pearl stir and saw her eyes flutter open. "Ugh, w-what happened?" Garnet just smiled and held her closer, "It's okay, the threat's gone now." Pearl grunted and held her head, thank God the impact of the wall didn't crack her gem. Pearl curled up in Garnet's arms, enjoying her wife's radiant body heat. "Are you hurt?"
Pearl shook her head, "No, just a little sore." Pearl decided that they better get up and check on the others, as she got up, along with Garnet, both girls noticed that the family was crying.

"Jade? Tanzanite? Flora?" At the same time, each gem looked up. "Are you guys alright?" Jade nodded, and broke away from the others. Jade raised her arm to her face, wiping away leftover tears. "Pearl, do you know were the Solar Temple is?" Fluorite had handed Pearl a cool towelette, for her head. "Um," She thought a minute, it had been over 250 years since she had visited the temple, "oh yes, I do believe it's in the Gypsum Sector, south to the Northern Lights." Jade nodded, "Mom, Aunt Flora, we need your help with this."

"We have your back Jade!" Jade giggled at her mother, although she's blind she still kick your ass. "Jade, dear, there is strong black magic there, I'm not sure-"

"Aunt Flora, I believe in you. Please, I know you can help protect us. That's what you have done all my life." Fluorite felt her heart break, 'I can't protect you from him...'

"Let's go back to your temple. We'll recruit the others, we need as much help as we can get!" Jade helped her mother gather a few things, and they were off to the warp pad. But little did they know, that Amethyst and Steven have trouble back in Beach City...
