 I found a cave that seems stable and enclosed so its hidden from view. The floor of the cave is pretty dry and there is a small pond of water in the corner that seems pure enough to clean the wound in my leg. I sit down and wet my leg and try to pry out the shard of Jasper's ship embedded in my leg. "Ah shit. C'mon, c'mon get out." CLINK, CLINK. "Ah! At this rate I'll have to retreat into my gem so my leg can heal." BOOM, followed by the sound of crumbling rocks. "What the-?" I hobble outside to find the source of the sound, only to see half the hill my cave is in has collapsed. I look further into the rubble to see an orange gem lying unco

Man my head hurts! I must have landed on it in the crash. Its so dark I don't know where I am in the ship, or what was the ship. What the heck was Onyx thinking?! "Citrine?!" I yell, but I don't here an answer. "Screw it, I'm getting out of here." I summon my scimitars out of my gem and head to the nearest wall, it doesn't long to hack through it and I can see moonlight through the cracks. How long was I out? I manage to get out, floating above the sand I fly up to see the crash site and damage. The ship is busted, no coming back from that. Wait, is that fighting down there?! I land back on the ground, a few meters from the fight, just to se

"AH!" The pain in my leg is so intense, I can barely keep moving. It doesn't seem like Jasper has gotten out of the wreckage yet, so maybe I can slip away unnoticed. Where is Lapis? Where is anyone? All the gems being held on Jasper's ship are missing except for me, were they all destoyed? "I have to get out of here." I try to keep moving but the sand makes it hard to run. What kind of planet is this? The gravity is so intense, at home its so much easier to levitate. I guess I'm still too weak from the crash to use my powers. I need a hiding place, and fast. I can't keep on at this pace, I'll pass out if I don't rest and treat my wounds. I've

"Beryl what's taking so long? We are about to land on Earth and you dont have any of your gear? We just had to be paired with you on our recon team." "Shut up Citrine, I'm getting my gear right now." God does she ever shut up? Whats with all the nagging? Even she isnt THIS uptight. Its just a recon mission for some Homeworld gems that could start up the Kindergarten, why is she so nervous? Oh well, guess I'll just head to the front of the ship since we are getting close. "How close are we Onyx?" (Onyx silently glares back) "Um never mind." We sure close now I can see the beac- "Oh My God." The beach we are headed towards is covered in the

The walk here seemed to have taken so long, but now that I look at the base of the Hill before me, the haze of alcohol seems to have lifted. I begin to slowly tread up the Hill, my sneakers crunching softly in the gray grass. As I approach the top, I begin to feel dizzy and weak, my breath is running out. "Not yet." I wheeze, gasping as I try to step forward. I fall to my knees after tripping on my own feet, and my vision goes black at the edges. This sickness inside me has begun to take its final effect. I crawl forward, the ground colder than I remember, and the grass sharp and clawing at my arms and face. I finally reach the plateau, the
