Here it is! I got excited writing this even. aggggh:)
Steven watched as his surroundings came into focus. It was a large room, far larger than any room he has ever been in! It was many stories high with stands for homeworld gems to set themselves. He could barely see the top row. He looked at the ground and gasped. In front of him was an aisle facing two diamonds. They were both looking him in the eyes with emnity. He didn't realize he was shaking until the Topaz squeezed him harder in a way to focus him.
He was carried down the aisle and the farther he was carried, the more deafening the audience became. Steven started sweating profusely, he couldnt stop himself from looking scared. It was a terrifying scene. He knew that he would be harmed, maybe even killed. He must, it's why he came right? To repent his mother's mistakes or even pay for them.
The diamonds watched him walk closer until he was placed on a pedestal. The white cylindrical pedestal raised up to the diamonds level so he could see every crook in their displeased faces. He shook like a small dog.
Yellow diamond glared at him. "You claim to be Rose Quartz, is this true?", her voice was stern and loud for all to hear.
Steven didn't hear her, he was still looking around in fright at all the homeworld gems around them. There had to be thousands.
He yelped when he felt a gentle but focused push on his chest. He looked at the direction of the push and it was a huge finger, probbing him for his attention.
"Focus! You are to answer my questions as I ask and you are to do so truthfully!",she yelled gently at Steven. "I'll repeat myself, Are you really Rose Quartz?"
"um, yes?", Steven gained courage as adrenaline pursed through his veins. He had a job to do.
"Then I ask, why? Why have you turned yourself in? Have you finally succumbed into the guilt of destroying your kind creator?",she narrowed her eyes and leaned forward. Blue diamond was staring at Steven with pure anger and hatred.
"Well, you keep trying to hurt my home, and my friends. I was hoping... I was hoping you would leave them alone if I turned myself in", he let out a shaky breath.
He heard hushed murmurs within the surrounding crowd. Blue Diamond looked up sharply and they hushed. Then Blue took over and asked him,"why would you... How could you do that to Pink diamond? You realize she's gone, don't you?" Her voice cracked at the last part.
"Blue, I was told I could hear this trial, by White. I'm sorry but we need to move it on.", Yellow looked at her sympathetically. Blue Diamond frowned at the displeasing words and looked away with tears lining her eyes.
"I-Im sorry. I really am. You probably won't believe any of that but it's true. It's another reason that I came here. To pay back my mothers mis-", he cut out as he realized his mistake. He was claiming to be Rose Quartz. Not her son!
Yellow diamond and Blue Diamond looked at each other with confusion, then looked at Steven. "You said that you were Rose Quartz. No quartzes have mother's I assure you.", yellow diamond sneered.
"Well, she certainly doesn't look like how I remember her, it has been quite some time but, she looks different, almost like a young human. Don't you think?",Blue diamond asked Yellow, even though she was asked not to interrupt.
Steven started sweating nervously again and didn't know what he should say. He stood motionless and said nothing, hoping that they wouldn't piece together anymore.
Yellow overlooked the fact that Blue spoke up, in curiosity to Steven. "Yes, I think so too. Maybe this isn't even a gem. I don't see her gem anywhere."
"um, I can prove that I'm Rose Quartz", he lifted up his damp shirt and revealed his pink gem gem on his naval. He looked to the diamonds in approval of his evidence.
The crowd mumbled incomprehensible words. The two diamonds leaned in and examined his gem.
