Chapter Eight: Visions
Selenite awoke with a start.
She was sleeping on the couch when Iolite appeared in a dream.
Iolite smiled, revealing sharp teeth. "Ha... Seems like I've found my next victim..."
Selenite was panting, Andesine now at her side, concerned. "Something the matter?"
Selenite caught her breath. "No, I'm... I'm fine. I just... had a nightmare."
Lapis walked out of her room, tired. "I can't sleep. I feel like something's going to happen soon."
Selenite gasped. "No... No no no no no..." She sat up, still somewhat woozy.
…
Later on in the day, Azurite went out to the porch and sipped a bit of juice.
Steven came out with Rose, discussing what life was like for her.
"Well... There were some things that were hard to agree on, such as how we should divide the groups... Sometimes we'd receive distress calls from other rebels around the planet..."
Turquoise sat by the shore, freezing bits of water studying the unique patterns that the dissolved salt made in the ice.
Selenite was out as well, staring up at the clouds when she had another vision; this time, Iolite wasn't there, but it was much worse.
The land was charred, swords left behind, Gem shards were everywhere.
And part of the charred land formed a strange pattern.
What was in the middle of the pattern was horrifying;
The Cluster, whose bubble had been stolen and popped;
Yellow Diamond, who was grinning at something in front of her;
And, in front of Yellow Diamond?
The Tower of Impurity, Gem troops flooding it from a ship at the top.
None of it didn't scream the word "chaos."
