(Obsidian)
I know how I was created. It was an accident. I was never meant to be.
It started as a test, for a new and more efficient gem planter. They made one to drill holes and plant different gems, all kinds, for the necessities to colonize a sustainable world. They made one, and it was designed to do exactly that. The "Superiors" (leaders of gems) were not going to test this such thing on a planet until approved. So they created a chamber, a cell almost, with one dirt wall on one side, and decided to test in secret. The civilians of the home-world couldn't know about this. Deep underground in a level most gems didn't know existed, they held this experiment, with one gem and a bunch of guards of watching this trial.
They powered up the giant machine in the cell or test environment where this was being held. It started up as normal, and had hundreds of gems ready to be planted. It drilled a hole and planted a gem. It worked just as it was supposed to. And then it planted another, and another. And it kept planting them. The machine malfunctioned and locked itself in that one position and was planting all of the gems it had in that one hole. The guards stormed in, and eventually, after a while, managed to get the machine off of the hole. But not before it planted every single gem. And when the guards looked in the hole, there wasn't hundreds of gems, just one. Me. I was still just a gem, and hadn't been formed.
They tried to kill me. Kill what they have made. Luckily, my gem is impenetrable. But I wasn't a threat. They kill without mercy. I swear I will get the head of my test. I will hurt him… No calm down. I will show him mercy. Two wrongs don't make a right. Now back to what I was saying.
I lived. But they couldn't get rid of me. The Superiors weren't that inhumane. So I was to be held in the cell. the testing environment, and to be kept from the outside world, and a secret. Apparently, the gems formed with the gem already in the hole, and they just kept combining, all the colors and gems. And that eventually made a black gem, and that, was me. I'm not a fusion, but I have more than the combined powers of all of the gem that combined to make me. I have practically infinite power. But as I was saying, I grew up there. I never interacted with the gems looking at me, throughout all those years, on the other side of the glass. I began to know some of my abilities. I first learnt about how I could learn very quickly. Then how I could fabricate the gem. And I practiced. Every day. I still didn't know how to make my gem.
I evaluated everything I possibly could. I used my black orbs to evaluate all conversations anyone had that I could hear, but I knew I shouldn't try to escape. I was well aware that I could but I knew I would be stopped. I needed to know more knowledge. One night I somehow made a portal. I didn't know how it happened. It happened just like any other ability I would and have learnt. I felt it and let it control me, to let it happen. I just created two portals. There in my cell. I walked through one and came out the other. I left the portals out and made my orbs. It took 5 minutes to completely process the portals, and after those 5 minutes, then knew the possibilities of what I could now do. I put my orbs back, and my portals. And I then looked at the guards, and the lead gem of what was the failed experiment, that made me. And I looked him straight in the eyes.
He must've been called when a guards saw me make a portal. But little does he know the possibilities a withhold. I just now needed to know where I want to go to escape this wretched cell, and I could be there in an instant. I just needed to wait for the perfect moment. I waited. Decades.
