“Welcome! Red diamond and Pink diamond!”
A robotic voice said, which is according to my knowledge is the voice of the pearl system.
“*gasp* Sister! The pearl can talk!” she said out of fright
“It’s okay, its just the system” she sigh in relief while tapping her gem, how cute hehehe.
“System, we would like to get our own pearl!” I got closer to the giant clam as I said my words. Slowly Pink followed me.
“Very well, please touch the clam as one at the time as I make the suitable pearl for you two.” I slowly touch the giant clam, while Pink is just observing what to do after me.
“Processing…. gathering data…. data found….”
“Congratulation Red diamond, you can now remove you hand and receive your very own pearl.” I slowly retracted my hand and the giant started to shake, this made us both take a few step back. A little while the shaking stop and it slowly open revealing a red pearl whose gem is located on her left shoulder. She’s pretty, wearing a roman dress, with a hair almost identical to mine, while showing a poker face same as mine.
“Pretty… Sister, she’s so pretty! I want the same as her now!” Pink said and horridly rush to the giant clam and started her process right away.
*Thug*
“My diamond! I am your Pearl. I will be serving you with all my life until the day I am shattered.” my Pearl said after getting close to me while doing the pearl salute.
“okay, let us wait my sister first before going back to my castle. I still need to prepare for my departure.”
“Understood my diamond” she said and went to back, while waiting for my sister.
*A little while*
“Congratulation Pink diamond, you can now remove you hand and receive your very own pearl.” the giant clam started to shake again and stop after, revealing my sister’s pearl. Her’s is having the same feature as all of our pearls, while having her gem in her hand, and wearing a punk short gown.
“Woah! Isn’t she beautiful, sister?” she excitedly ask and I nob in response.
“Now Pink, we must return to our own territory to prepare for our departure. Remember, you must not be too attach to your colony of choice. I am not there to help you always, do you understand?”
“Uhm! I will!”
“Good, see you again, sister.” I said as I pinch her cheeks and leave a red marks, making her scratch it while staring and pouting at me. Awww, cute. Hahaha
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“See you also, sister” we said our goodbyes as we separate our ways and return to our own castle.
Upon arriving at my castle, a group of 20 quarts are neatly lined-up along with some rubies and sapphires.
“Welcome back our diamond!”
“Welcome back my diamond!”
“Welcome back our diamond!”
“Thank you. Return to your work for now.” I said and nod to them. If you are wandering why there are gemstones guarding my castle, well, they are my first men after being born. As my first army, they are task to protect and guard my castle for possible invasion by other races.
*Boom!*
As I entered my castle and proceed to the throne room. A same giant portrait of mine, back at White’s dining hall, can be seen behind my throne. While in every pillars, a flag with my symbol, a giant erupting volcano surrounded by countless stars, can be seen hanging. And on the ceiling a giant crystallize magma can be seen giving light in this room.
I stop in front of my throne sating on it, while Pearl is behind me, waiting for my instructions.
“Pearl..”
“Yes, My diamond?”
“Prepare the cluster, gather the guards and tell them to prepare the ships at once. We will be leaving home world any moment from now.” I said with a serious tone of mine.
“Yes, My diamond!” she saluted and leave immediately.
*Boom!*
After she left, I take my seat and started to think about my dreams that are starting to come true.
‘After 2 years of waiting, I can finally explore the space and have my own colony! This will be fun!’ I grin as I slowly immerse on my plans
*Beep!*
Suddenly, three communication screen appeared in front of me. It was White, Blue, and Yellow. They are all looking at me with serious faces but their eyes shows congratulatory messages. Sigh, image.
“I hope you are ready to depart now Red.”
“I am, my Pearl is now preparing my first cluster.” I replied to White with seriousness.
“Good, if you are facing a strong enemy or a hardship, inform us immediately… we will help you” Yellow said while busy managing his colonies. In which the other two nod in agreement.
“Don’t worry, I will. You need to say that to my sister, she’s adventurous in a dangerous way.” I smiled while informing them
------------
“Achoo!”
“Are you okay, My diamond?”
“I am okay Pearl” I replied ‘Someone must be talking bad behind my back’ I mumbled. Don’t let me catch you! Hmp!
---------
“We already did! Now, we will not disturb you. Good luck, and remember, if you can’t convert them?” they seriously waited for my response.
“Kill them..” I seriously replied while showing my evil smile, they all nod with smile on their faces.
“Tsss! Sometimes I forgot how evil your personality can be.” Yellow remarks with seriousness as he turn off the communicator.
“Yes! You are only good when your sister is around. Not Fair! We diamonds are born from the same crystal, you know! Hmp!” Blue protest and hurriedly close his communicator.
“You should also show some softness to them Red. We are all family out here. Also, if you are worried about your sister’s ‘rebellion’ I already added more guards on her entourage to secure her.” Yup, she know ‘cause I told her the possibilities, but we both know that it’s impossible.
“Thank you, White.” I bow my head a little to thank her, in which she accepted.
“My last reminder to you Red. I know that you are strong, cunning, manipulative, and good planner. But the space has a lot of powerful being also, that is why, you must not provoke them while you are still building your strength. Do you understand?” She said concernedly. I nod in response and she smile before leaving also.
“Finally! A minute of silen.” I was suddenly cut off by a sudden interruption
*Boom!*
“My diamond, everything is now ready.” Pearl informed while standing at the door.
“Great! Let’s go Pearl” We both hurriedly walk out to my throne room and directly going to our space station where we have all of our ships. Upon arrival I can see 50 quarts forming a good platoon, beside them are a group of 10 sapphires and 30 rubies as their escorts.
Upon seeing me, they all started to cheer and make noise that can be heard all around the castle.
I smiled and raise my hand to signal them to stop.
“My gemstones, today is a historic day. Today, we will be leaving home world and start to expand our territory at space! Remember your oats and training, we must expand our power for our survival and for our Red Empire!” I declare loudly, and smiled inwardly as I see them boosted and ready to start a colony.
‘Aahhhaa… it really feels good to control others emotions, hehehe’
“For the Red Empire!!”
“For the Red Empire!!”
“For the Red Empire!!”
“For the Red Empire!!”
“For the Red Empire!!”
“Board the ships! We will be leaving after everyone boarded!”
Slowly the cheering stop and they started to board the ships. Few guards will be left guarding my castle.
“My diamond, your ship is now ready” She said while smiling just like me. Good Pearl, you can understand me really well.
“Okay, let’s go Pearl. The space is waiting!”
