Chapter 1: Pearl's Sadness

It has been two months since the Jumi race was revived once again, but it was different now, for the pearl Jumi.

After the return of the Jumis, Pearl discovers that she is Blackpearl's alter ego and because of that, Elazul, her knight and the jumi of lapis lazuli is just ignoring her and he is always with Urzula, the savior of the Jumi race.

Pearl felt sad because Elazul ignores her always.

"Elazul hates me... I wish someday he could love me..." Pearl said to herself and then she called his name.

"Elazul…" She said softly as her frail heart beats faster because of nervousness.

Elazul heard her and he scolded her, as always-.

"What do you want!" Elazul shouted harshly. Elazul was a a loud-mouthed Jumi as everyone in Fa'diel know. He was in love with Urzula, who just admitted her feelings when she saved the Jumi race.

Pearl cowered with fear and Elazul got really annoyed. "Why won't you anwer my question?" he asked, trying to attack Pearl with his sword.

"SLASH!"

Pearl is wounded. Her back is bleeding. Elazul ignored her and went away, to go to Urzula's house.

"He... He ignores... me! Why! Why won't anyone love me!" Pearl screamed sadly.

Will heard Pearl's voice. He hurried at the Bejeweled city to find Pearl. Then he found Pearl bleeding and tears were flowing out from her eyes. "Pearl... are you alright?" Will asked, feeling concerned about the shy jumi.

Pearl's face turns red again, whenever she sees Will caring for her and she knew that even though she's annoying, he was still there for her. "I don't... think so." Pearl answered shyly.

"I'll send you to my house... and I'll let you rest at my bedroom" Will told her.

"Thank... you!" Pearl said happily. 'Will is sure a kind boy, too. Too bad he was not a jumi to be my knight instead.' She thought, while walking with him.

At Will's house, Pearl felt more comfortable. Will is removing Pearl's white coat to bandage her wound by a big set of plasters. After that, Will sent Pearl to his bed. Pearl's wound is bandaged already so Pearl stays calm at Will's bed already.

'Will was still kind to me, but why is Elazul acting like he hates me now?' she thought, while lying to the cozy, warm bed.

"I hope she'll be okay..." Will said to himself. His favorite pet, Rue the rabite stared at him and jumped with joy. "Yes, Rue… I knew she would be okay…" He replied to his rabite.
