The time is 1330 on the human calendar. January 19, the last day of Capricorn. The dear prince had been born on that day. He was radiant, beautiful. All who attended his birth ceremony through the mystic Fountain of Dreams had felt an energy surge through him as if Michealia had blessed him herself. Of course that was to be expected though, the royal family were the ones blessed by her to rule the great gem country.

One had become jealous though of his fair beauty as a boy. One woman. She had cursed him aloud and condemned him to suffer years later. She had placed a curse on him saying that if he does not find love by his 14th birthday then he will become disease of war.

Before anybody could stop her she vanished. All this time the king had tried to protect his child by gathering all the women of the land and making them elope with him. However, the boy was innocent and would rather just play with the women in general. He liked it when they play tag or dressed him up in his royal attire. Because of them he became quite soft and kindhearted, the king didn't like that.

There was one girl in particular that he loved. The king knew this and imprisoned her inside a mirror in order to punish him. The prince was now enraged and ran. This is how our story is, as life is weaved into its string of events. Gems will be dragged to their grave and the world will be tarnished and raised anew.

The song plays, the Smashing Song of Praise, as Tourmaline sticks her tongue out in mockery and kills all within her sights.

...

An encounter with them was but a blissful experience for Tourmaline. She had despised them, cursed them, hated them. They annoyed her, they bothered her and now they stood showing their true colors. Now, she can't be blamed for what will happen next. If they die that wasn't her fault, it's all in the name of self-defense.

She stuck out her tongue and withdrew her halberd. Accusations were heard from the Crystal Gems who had already rushed to fight her. The leader, Rose Quartz, had tried to stop them in any way possible. She walked slowly towards the prince. Whatever happens, happens right? A stab in the chest, a smirk on her face. The halberd had twisted itself inside of her and she had fallen into her gem. All who were watching were filled with surprise. She had broken into a crazed laugh as she ran to attack the other Crystal Gem. Then a surge of energy, a white light, a falling body. The halberd had slipped out of her hands as she laid cold on the floor.

They had tried to steal the money from her, grabbing the prince's hand. Before she had lost her conscious she heard the prince crying... for her. Then, she blacked out.

...

"Oh how terrifying!" Within the crowd of gems who had just watched the fight one had emerged out in front. A young man in somewhat classy attire had a pout on his face as he watched one of the male gems pick up the unconscious body and run with it. Two others trailed behind him, a fat woman and the prince. He laughed.

"What happened?" A girl asked as she walked next to the man's side. The crowd had dispersed and the Crystal Gems had run away as well with the Rose Quartz in hand.

"Ah nothing really Heliotrope," the man said as he turned himself around.

"Then why were you laughing Hemimorphite?" Heliotrope asked.

They stood in seconds silence. The man had turned his body slightly toward the girl, a smirk on his face.

"Because I find it funny," he said simply. "Now let us go Heliotrope. There are things that need to be done, yes?"

Heliotrope nodded with a smile.

"Okay!" Heliotrope nodded as she grabbed hold of Hemimorphite's arm.

Hemimorphite smiled then headed back to a certain club that was not to be mentioned. Heliotrope had held onto his wrist, guiding him to their destination. Through the constant dragging they had talked. Heliotrope talked of their current job while Hemimorphite talked of drinking wine under the starlit sky. Heliotrope laughed. She felt a sense of butterflies in her stomach as they took the back roads, void of most gems.

When they had reached the bar Heliotrope had let go of Hemimorphite's wrist. He had looked at her and she gave him an inward smile. The area was secluded, barren. It was dry-looking as well as somewhat dark. The sounds of water dripping from a nearby broken pipe could be heard in its emptiness.

They stood in front of the bar as Heliotrope dug into her little pink bag for something. Hemimorphite watched in amusement as she fumbled and whined about where it was at.

Hemimorphite felt a cold metallic touch against the back of his neck.

"H-Hemi!" Heliotrope stuttered as she pointed at something behind him.

Without turning to look Hemimorphite smirked.

"Well hello Jasper, how are you?" Hemimorphite asked, retaining his cool.

"Cut the niceties, you should know why I'm here," Jasper growled, moving the bayonet in his hand to tell Hemimorphite to shut up.

"Oh I know full well why you're here."

Before Jasper knew it, Hemimorphite had already turned around and grabbed the bayonet, holding it up to avoid any hits.

"To watch us right? To make sure we're doing our job right?" Hemimorphite asked as his free hand gently caressed Jasper's face. Jasper didn't flinch for he was far too used to it. "Don't worry about us, worry about yourself." Hemimorphite had let go of his bayonet but the hand on Jasper's face remained. "You're a smart man," Hemimorphite leant closer to Jasper's face. "You should know that I'm a strategic man. I can predict every move they make before they make it." He had let go of Jasper's face. "I don't think their killing me is a very good idea. Don't you agree?"

Jasper had let his bayonet retreat into his gem. He had faced away from Hemimorphite.

"They... want us to work together," Jasper said.

"Us? As in the three of us?" Hemimorphite asked with a smile on his face.

Jasper shook his head. Hemimorphite's face darkened.

"Do they want Heliotrope out?"

"Not that."

"Then what?"

"They want Jade in as well."

Hemimorphite grinned.

"Oh that was all?" Hemimorphite said. "Well that would be interesting to see."

Jasper nodded as he opened the bar's door. The inside of the bar was fairly old as the wood itself was worn out. Sitting on a seat near the long serving table was a woman.

"Hello Jade," Hemimorphite greeted.

Jade looked away.

"Why do you need me to be in your little group?" Jade asked sternly.

"Oh I see you're as rough as ever," Hemimorphite said.

"So how much for some information on what's going on in the human world?" Heliotrope asked as she pulled out a large wad of money.

"Forty thousand rupees."

"Wow, information must be good then," Hemimorphite said.

"Not just that," Jade said as she took a sip of alcohol. "But because this country's going down under."

Heliotrope handed over the money to Jade.

"You know I refuse to work for one side alone right?" Jade said.

"We know. How do you think we are? We're only doing this because of our employer," Jasper said.

"I don't fight either."

"I don't care."

Jade smirked.

"Dark and brooding as ever Jasper," Jade said as she counted the money. "You weren't like that before." She had finished counting and had placed the money on the table. "Here's everything I know."

...

Tourmaline had woken up in a daze. Her head spun as she heard the fast currents of water. Where was she? She looked around to see large trees and of course a river with a fast current. She had checked herself to see if shehad been robbed. Luckily, everything was there.

She stood up on wobbly feet. This wasn't like her, she had never felt weak like this before. It bothered her. She took a step forward and gagged.

"Tourmaline! Are you alright?" It was Moonstone.

She looked up, her vision was blurred but she could tell it was Moonstone running toward her. She could recognize the fat blend of pink, white, and blue.

"Tourmaline!" Moonstone cried.

Tourmaline tried to take a step toward her but gagged again. Moonstone held her up. Tourmaline could feel Moonstone's body wet.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sick?" Moonstone asked.

"What... happened?" Tourmaline asked.

"You fought the Crystal Gems but then you blacked out for some reason. I carried you here on the demands of the Prince." That was Almandine.

Tourmaline had looked around for Almandine. He stood behind Moonstone.

"I'm sorry Tourmaline. This is my fault... If I hadn't run away..." That was the Black Prince's Ruby. "Father is mad at me and now a great war will start because of me..."

"Do not blame yourself Prince," Almandine said. "We have to run though. In order for you to heal your friend we must run."

"Huh...?" Tourmaline mumbled.

"We leave tonight. We're running to Parasel," Almandine said.

"Parasel... Why..?" Tourmaline mumbled.

"Shush Tourmaline. Don't worry, just... go back to sleep. Okay?"

Tourmaline nodded weakly. She felt something eat at her, something she didn't want around. She blacked out.

...
