She didn't know why it happened, just that it did happen. First she felt nothing, she did not think, now she thought, she felt… trapped. She felt trapped, like she was smothered, surrounded by darkness and a hard material, she struggled in the suffocating darkness. Eyes that were once never there darting left and right into the void of black.
As if on cue a sudden cracking filled her ears and then a boom of rock being forced open and she was free. Deep purple eyes moved around as she stared up into the pearl blue sky, she could see the clouds moving lazily across the sky, a flock of winged serpent creatures flying to the south, the hole she came out of getting smaller. She found it odd it was getting smaller, and in an instant she felt pain in her back, grunting as she landed on the rough canyon ground.
She panted as she laid on the ground her eyes wide with pain, her ears ringing as she laid and stared at the sky, her thoughts slowing down to a crawl as she could hear distorted voices in the distance, the voices getting closer slowly, she had no idea what to do, so she decided to just lay there until the voices reach her. It took a while before the voices found her, by her estimate it took them fourteen hours fifty four minutes thirty seconds and nine nanoseconds before a pink being with a triangle haircut came into view. "What are you doing just laying there?" "I-I don't know, I just figured I would wait here till you got here". Another being that looked like the pink one but a lime green came into view, "this doesn't seem to be a quartz, far to skinny", "we'll need to run some tests on her, get up on your feet", she slowly rose to her feet, her legs wobbly as she stood on legs that just came into being, the lime green being gasping a bit as she towered above both of them. The pink being began typing on a yellow gray tablet as she started to walk away, "Well are you two coming or not?".
The towering purple gem followed behind the two beings that found her. She was curious about the boots and arm devices the lime one was wearing, said lime being was grumbling about something but she couldn't hear what she was saying. "It's not fair that some new type of clod is taller than me…" peridot seventy seven x nineteen rolled her eyes at the whining of the era two peridot she worked with, "perhaps you should get some new limb enhancers so you can whine about it to her face" the pink peridot typed in the number code of the new gem, nine x eight. "Yes, that's a great idea, that will show that clo- hey!" "about time you picked up on that, you era twos aren't as fast at picking up on sarcasm" the other peridot sputters before stomping her foot "i don't need to talk this from… from some OFF COLOR like you!". The group of three stopped dead in their tracks, the purple gem wearing a look of confusion as the pink peridot slowly turned to the era two peridot, "ummmm what's an off…" before the towering gem could finish the pink peridot slapped the lime peridot hard enough to make a audible clap and send the era two peridot falling onto her rear. "Never, NEVER call me off color again you runt of a CLOD!, my coloration is a side effect of the atmosphere of the colony i was made on, need i remind you that i am your supervisor?, if i ever hear you say that about me again i will make sure you love your limb enhancers and are cleaning the injectors for the next seven cycles, do i make myself clear!?" the lime peridot sputters and mumbles a bit "um ye-s ma-am i'm-m so-sorry" "good, now go make yourself useful and leave!" she yelled out and jabbed a finger towards a bend in the canyon, the lime peridot sputters and gets up running down the canyon, leaving the towering purple gem confused and startled, pink peridot taking a deep breath, before turning to face her, "forgive me for my outburst, just keep following me and we will figure out what kind of gem you are", the purple gem nods a bit and sheepishly follows the pink peridot.
The two gems had been walking for what had to have been seven hours and the purple gem was starting to get tired of walking, but soon their destination was in view, a massive golden structure with multiple domes and a large spire with a diamond shaped dome at the top. The purple gem's mouth falling a gap in awe of the building, the pink peridot smirking "this is but a taste of the glory our diamond has planned for this world, soon we will know what you are and what you can do for homeworld".
