Cruel Black, a bear in build, she walked
The fields and stomped to flat
Unfortunates who crossed her path,
And muttered, "Filthy rat."
Respect for neither foe nor friend.
Her allies 'fore her fled
For "Slackers," as the slow were called
Beneath her boots fell dead.
She killed her own, but Rose's kin
She slaughtered left and right.
Black sparkled 'neath a film of shards,
A grisly, awful sight.
Carnelian, good Rose's friend,
Who fought with long a lance,
Black caught and strangled, smashed to dead,
With but a second's glance.
Then Iolite attacked great Black,
Vain her hope to keep
Black back from allies who could, hurt,
But slowly crawl and creep.
For Iolite cruel Diamond Black
Her heavy axe did wield
And with three blows good Iolite
Was dead upon the field.
Those Iolite had aimed to save
The next three victims made,
Their gems with chatters shattering
Beneath that deadly blade.
The earth agleam with rainbows, shards
Of every shade and hew,
Cruel Black with hacking laughter mocked
The many that she slew.
Across the fields the Diamond Black
Destroyed and killed and maimed:
Fluorite, Jade, and Kyanite,
For murder black was famed.
Then Aqua, Citrine, back to back,
The devil diamond faced.
Around to strike her from the back
Young Citrine swiftly raced
While Aqua, quite distracting, threw
Whatever she could find,
Some rocks, some spears, some armor plates,
She made cruel Black to mind.
But Black could not be fooled for long
She whirled 'fore Citrine's stroke
And in that crushing, clawing grasp
Young Citrine screamed and broke.
Now Aqua roared in agony,
Her life-long lover dead,
And lunged upon the Diamond Black
To cling upon her head.
While Black attempted to dislodge
Her sobbing tormentor,
The two became the strangest scene
That'd been in all the war.
Aquamarine, her weapon lost,
With fingers clawed at eyes
And left upon the diamond's face
Some cuts of large a size.
Her fury raised, fierce Black then tore
Her off, her threw to ground
And there her dusty shards by friends
Who mourned were later found.
