It was already Fall in Beach City. the leaves were falling off the trees and streets were still. people came out walking in their coats and sometimes walking with their umbrellas just in case a sudden rain breaks out. "its getting pretty cold these days! why cant we just stay inside?" Steven pouted to Pearl. "Steven you've been complaining for an hour already, just be silent already!" Steven looked down and nodded. they were outside looking for where Bloodstone and the crew went 2 weeks before. Amethyst had a very unsure look for the first time and thought this was not a good idea to go in their serious things. "G-Garnet, i know i shouldn't question you but...don't you think this is maybe a bad thing to look at other gems private stuff? i mean...i'm just saying.." Garnet stopped walking and came to her senses. she looked at Amethyst and thought for 3 straight minutes. "fine, we will turn back." Steven was only happy for being able to return back home, so they all turned around and went back. meanwhile on the trip back, the gusty winds made it hard to keep walking, but they did make it back home. When they got back, Sapphire was crying on the couch while Onyx, B.C, and Bloodstone were sitting all around her trying to calm her down. "Sapphire! its alright.." Onyx said with a red glowing stare. The Crystal Gems asked what happened. Soon Bloodstone replied, "We never told her about her father….we will tell you though…listen carefully.."

….56,000 YEARS AGO, LOCATION: STRAWBERRY BATTLEFIELD….

Sapphire (56,000 years back): Just walking, endlessly walking, its hopeless…theres nothing to do, I'm just gonna continue to walk till my gem is cracked and I'm bleeding everywhere and, I'm dead…no use to it. I'm gonna fall anyway. less than 700 gems left in the war…my wife, she's dead, she is gone, Genevieve, she's….gone….my..white wave…i need to get it through, I'm walking through the burnt flowers and rubble, broken gems on the floor, weapons are broken, the strong population of gems are gone. its all disappearing. this Empire of shards. nothing is left for us….what about the endless and eternal happiness Rose Quartz said she'd give all of us Crystals and other Orders of Gems? did she lie….what happened…..but its hopeless…..i'm just gonna erase my existence, others did this already…ill summon another sapphire, this little crystal gem will live in a new generation, a safer one, a better one. it seems nice…very nice…..ill do it…..im gonna do it…..*Falls to the floor tearing up smiling on knees, gem begins to glow and starts to diminish*

…..FLASHBACK OVER…..

Bloodstone began to talk, "we found you, we found sapphire as a baby gem, i picked you up and looked for help, before i went blind…i only see darkness, but i can feel your heat, i can tell all apart, the projection i showed you of the old sapphire was something i found through time travel and memories stored in my head. i still remember. the Strawberry War. our gem population has disappeared to a small scarce amount…..i worry…" she then sighed momentarily. and looked at sapphires crying blue eyes. "i am sorry Sapphire, i know how you feel…..i know how exactly. you aren't alone, one day we will unite all crystal gems remaining and become a huge group, we wont fall just yet." Bloodstone then repeated the last sentence. The Crystal Gems looked at each other and pearl was about to tear up, all 3 knew their tragic past, Steven walked up to sapphire and reassured her everything will soon be alright. but nothing was alright.

nothing at all

sapphire didn't know what to do. at all.
