ā PINKāS COLONY ā ā those words themselves made Jasper retreat into herself. Of all places, WHY THERE ? why HER ? why NOW ? Ā The echoing sounds of Her Diamondās laughter had JUST BARELY escaped the deep crevices of Jasperās mind; and with one word ā it was back. Like Pink had NEVER LEFT. Ā The expression of REPUGNANCEĀ ever etched into Jasperās features softened, if only for a brief moment. She would not fail again. She simply COULDāNT.
As her lips parted to speak, a pathetic & humble ā Yes, My Diamond. āĀ they were quickly pressed together again by the golden matriarchs words.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā YOU HAVE FAILED A DIAMOND ONCE BEFORE. ā
Sinking into herself once more, the soldier allowed her face to speak for itself ā a DEEP REGRET apparent on her strong facial features. Eyes of piercing yellow to the floor, the quartz ( if only for a brief moment ) allowed her lips to speak what her mind had SCREAMED for centuries.
ā Of course not, āĀ Ā she grunted, her gaze UNMOVING.Ā Ā ā Iāll never make that mistake again. ā Ā HOW PATHETIC. Say something else, anything, you stupid waste of resources.
Clearing her throat, Jasperās face TWISTED into a facade of strength, eyes making their way to the Diamond before her. Shoulders back, her chest stuck out: CONFIDENT & STRONG Ā ( at least thatās what she pretended to be. )Ā Ā ā This assignment will be nothing more than a success. Not only will I do it for you, Iāll do it for Pink and the success of gem kind. I wonāt let you down ā¦ āĀ Ā CHOKING, STRUGGLING the words managed to FORCE THEMSELVES out of her throat.Ā Ā ā ā¦Ā My Diamond. ā
