Notes
You know, other authors can't keep up with the schedule, but in my case the schedule can't keep up with me! (This was a joke, don't become offended. I am not telling other authors are worse than me, on the contrary, I know I'm terrible compared to many other fanfiction authors. But you know quantity has a quality all its own.) Moving on.
This is the last chapter this week, unless some miracle happens and I have more time. Also can you guess what the pact between Omega and Star was about? Private message me if you think you know already, I don't want to spoil it for everybody else, before the reveal in the story.
Now moving to the story.
Blue Diamond was discussing colonization plans by Pink Diamond with several of her advisors, when suddenly a light blue pearl, almost identical to the one sitting next to the diamond herself, ran into the chamber. Nobody turned to the pearl, except for the diamond herself. She looked at the transgressor, ready to order her to be shattered, when she saw that the pearls eyes were already filled with terror.
"My… My Diamond" The blue pearl saluted her with shaking hands.
"What is so dire you would dare to interrupt my meeting?" Blue diamond asked, her booming voice echoing through the room.
"Its… Its… Your Sapphires my diamond… We… We don't know what to do… They are crying… Some are screaming… Some thrash around…. Others… They just sit starring into nothingness… We don't know what to do my diamond…"
Blue diamond's eyes widened. Sapphires must have seen something truly horrible, if the typically calm and collected gems started to act like this. She stood from her seat, throwing a quick "dismissed" at her advisors and started moving towards the chamber in which her most trusted sapphires would gather in a coven to predict events which would happen hundreds of years into the future. She wanted to run, but she needed to sustain an image of cold and calculating incarnation of power. So she had to slowly follow after the still shaking pearl., her own pearl silently following her.
When they reached the sapphire coven, it was even worse. Now several sapphires were clawing at their physical forms, as if pain would help them forget what they are seeing. Several have already poofed, their gems lying on the cold stone floor. Others contorted on the floor, their bodies moving in quite unnerving patterns. Only the strongest and most powerful ones were able to control themselves, and even they were weeping and shaking. But even they seemed to be lost to the surrounding world, as they showed no response to the pearls that were running around trying to calm other time seers down. Even when a diamond entered the room they didn't respond. Only one seemed to be able to function properly and it was the oldest and most powerful sapphire in the coven.
Blue Diamond kneeled and took one of her first gems in her right hand. She lifted the shivering sapphire to her head and gently asked.
"What did you saw?" In situations like this a sapphires mind was extremely fragile, so one must act gently if they don't want to risk losing a rare and quite hard to make gem.
The Sapphire moved her hair from her eye and looked directly at Blue Diamond.
"Time after time shall the kings of the damned come forth
In the end times, Diamond fortress will be cast down
Its defenders crushed, its gates ripped open
Those that dwell beyond the light will spill forth
The space shall burn and the ground shall melt.
Shards of metal and gem will fall to the ground
As monsters duel quartzes over the fallen.
The dreaded one will look unblinkingly at its prize
It will sail through the sea of stars and claim its prize.
As its hand crushes the galaxy
It will sit upon the throne of the empress and roar in victory."
The sapphire collapsed and poofed in Blues hand. But this was a small problem for Blue now; the prophecy was by far the bigger one.
She put the gem down and ordered her pearl to contact other diamonds, warn them of the prophecy and arrange a meeting. There was no time; they needed to save their empire.
End notes
Can you guess what the kings of the damned are? And no they are not only the Prime obsidians and Omega, guess again!
Also I know the first sentence is kind of weird, but someone asked me to specify the date when this is happening, so here it is. Currently the story is happening before the colonization of earth, so before the rebellion and gem civil war.
Have a nice day!
