Herkimer was going to visit a colleauge of hers, another general serving under the diamonds. She’d be introduced to the platoon of gems being trained there. She found her way to the training grounds, and a certain gem in perticular caught her eye. The diopside was very well trained, and would make an excellent soldier.
Although small for her gemtype, the Star Diopside was more than capable of combat. She was training while her ‘owner’ watched from the sidelines (though they were other gems training as well, but further away from Black Star’s spot.) That day she was to destroy rock structures to simulate gem enemies by any means necessary. Letting out a battle cry, her whip wrapped around the Quartz sized rock structure, then the smaller gem threw it at another structure, both being destroyed on impact.
Panting softly, eyes of black smirked at her accomplishment. She was so focursed on her training, that Black Star didn’t notice Herkimer’s entrance.
Herkimer knew it was somewhat of a defect, but she was curious as to what advantages a smaller size could have. She slowly clapped, approaching the soldiers.
“Well done. My, this is quite impressive. Especially the small one.” Her gaze locked on Black Star. She smiled proudly. Turning to the general, she saluted. “I see you’ve done a fine job at training this batch. Perhaps someday we’ll lead them into battle.”
