Chapter 8: Amethyst and Coal's Horse Healing
"Brrr, it's so cold!" Ruby said as the girls are at the North Pole. "The North Pole's temperature is at 32 degrees F" Sapphire said. "I kinda like it" Onyx commented. "C'mon, we got to find the Horse Talisman!" Amethyst said while she's in front. "This breeze messes up my hair" Topaz said. "Hey I found… the Snake Talisman? We found this already." Amethyst asked when the talisman reveal to be fake injecting Amethyst with poison. "Ow!" She screamed. "Am, are you okay?" ruby asked. "Yeah I'm okay" Amethyst answered. "Not for long!" Simon said. "what did you do to her Simon?" Sapphire asked. "This poison turns you into stone in a matter of time" Simon answered. "Unless, you give me the talismans" He continued. "Guys, I've got the Horse Talisman!" Sapphire said as she obtains the Horse Talisman. "Turning to stone makes us frown, make the snow and Ice slow Simon down!" They chanted as making a spell bead caused the snow to stop Simon, giving the girls time to escape.
Moments later, they arrive to the mall when Coal came by. "Amethyst are you okay?" Coal asked. "Yes, but I have to see the ancients right away!" She answered. "Simon poisoned her slowly turning her to stone" Sapphire explained. "I'll carry her, let's alert Obsidian!" Coal said as he carries Amethyst to Obsidian's Shop. "Thank you Coal" Amethyst said passion to her love interest. Once they arrive at the shop, they saw Uncle Chan there. "Uncle Chan, what are you doing here?" Onyx asked. "Oh Uncle missed doing research with ancients" He answered. "Oh Uncle Chan, this is Coal" Amethyst introduced. "More like Am's love interest!" Ruby said causing Amethyst to blush. "Hi, nice to meet you sir" Coal said. "Please Coal, call me Uncle" Uncle said. "What happened to Amethyst?" Obsidian asked. "Simon poisoned her with a stone potion!" Sapphire told. "Aiee-Yah, we need an antidote, Uncle must prepare!" Uncle responded. "Don't worry Amethyst, I won't rest until you're completely cured" Coal said promisingly. "Thank you Coal" She said. "Here drink this!" Uncle ordered handing Amethyst a potion. When she drank it, the result startled everyone, even Coal. "What, what is it?" Amethyst asked. "Nothing, d-don't look in the mirror" Uncle told, but she looked in the mirror anyway. "Why, Aaah!" Amethyst screamed. "I told you not to look in the mirror!" Uncle responded. "I'm a lizard, I'll be a stone lizard" She said as the lizard skin peels off. "See? Reptiles shed their skin. Peels right off" Uncle explained. "Did the potion work?" Topaz asked as Amethyst's next finger turns to stone. "No Topaz, it didn't!" Ruby answered. "Obsidian, help Uncle research for antidote, Sapphire do research on the Horse Talisman." Uncle responded as they agreed. "Coal, take Amethyst home, Amethyst call your Grandma so she can contact Uncle" He continued. "Okay c'mon Amethyst!" Coal said. "Thanks, see you guys later" Amethyst said as the two of them left. "Coal, Sorry again about my time with you" She said. "Don't worry, I'll have you healed from the poison" Coal responded. Meanwhile, the others were thinking. "What do we do?" Topaz asked. "We should give Simon the talismans then he'll give Amethyst the antidote" Sapphire said. "But he might double cross us!" Ruby protested. "So what do we have to do, we should leave the Horse Talisman with Uncle and Obsidian" Onyx said. "We must get the antidote or Amethyst will be stone forever!" Ruby added.
The next day, Coal and the girls arrive at a tower, where they saw Simon and Snarf. "Okay Simon, where is the antidote?" Ruby said. "It's right here but give me the talismans first" Simon demanded as they did so. "Only 5 talismans, where is the Horse Talisman?" Snarf asked. "Right here!" Uncle said as he arrived with it. "Uncle, did you bring the cure?" Amethyst asked. "No, Uncle brought potion that could be the antidote. Aiee-Yaahh!" Uncle said as Snarf snatches the Horse Talisman. "Attchoo!" Snarf sneezed as he triggered the Horse Talisman's power curing his cold. "Hey, my cold is gone!" He continued. "Ogres, attack!" Simon ordered as his team of ogres attack the group. "Do you want a piece of Uncle?" Uncle said as two ogres missed him, then he splashed a potion on them. "Arrgh!" They panicked seeing each other 's reptilian skin, knocking each other out. "Hurry you guys!" Amethyst rushed as an ogre hurt Its knuckle punching Amethyst. "Hey that didn't hurt" She continued seeing the rest of her being stone. "Hold on Am!" Sapphire said trying to get the talismans back from Snarf. "You lose this time Trollz" Simon said. "Certain objects like chairs, make Simon and Snarf roll down the stairs!" Ruby and Topaz chanted as their spell beads pushed Simon and Snarf down the stairs. "Guys, the poison!" Coal alerted but they were too late. "Help me!" Amethyst shouted as she turned completely to stone. "Amethyst!" They shouted. "Oh no, poor Amethyst" Topaz sadly said. "Maybe we put her in front of shop to remember" Uncle continued. "Wait, maybe the Horse Talisman can help" Sapphire stated. "I'll check. Atchoo!" Ruby said as the Horse Talisman heals and restores Amethyst.
"Hey!" Amethyst said as she saw Snarf in front of her. "Hey!" She continued as she kicked Snarf down the stairs again. "Am, your back!" Ruby said hugging her friend. "Amethyst are you okay?" Coal asked. "Yes, I'm okay!" She responded hugging him. "The Horse Talisman is the healer." Uncle Chan stated. "And we got the talismans back" Topaz giggled. "One more thing: Horse can heal poison and disease." Uncle explained. "One more thing: there still more talismans, must find them before Simon!" He continued. "Don't worry Uncle, we got this!" Ruby said. "One more thing!" Uncle continued. "Yes Uncle, what is it?" Sapphire asked. "That's the third time you said that!" Onyx added. "Must tall Ancients Amethyst is cured. One more thing: let's not break this moment!" Uncle concluded pointing at Amethyst and Coal's romantic moment as the B.F.F.L. got their sixth Talisman.
