The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 30.

You: What do you mean? What will happen if a gem is completely shattered?

Garnet: Y/N, let's sit first before we told you our secrets.

You: Okay (sits down*)

You sit down and garnet, amethyst, and pearl sits down

Garnet: Y/N, if a gem is shattered it is "dead" in your definition. But if a gem is completely shattered and it's gem shards isn't heal along with it's fellow gem shards. The gem will melt away in existence.

You: What?!

Amethyst: Yup, that's right. Have you even wonder what happens to the homeworld gems that was shattered during the war?

You: Yeah, but I thought humans just burry it.

Garnet: It could be, but when arrow was experimenting during the war on an old gem shard, it melted into dust.
But that is what he told. Arrow keep a lot of secrets more than rose. For us it is still not confirmed but you and our theory could be right at the same time.

You: This arrow guy, was he the only human that you admired?

Pearl: (chuckles*) We wish, right garnet?

Pearl and garnet chuckled and you and amethyst are uncomfortable.

Pearl: Sadly, no. He wasn't the only one who has inspired us.

You: Well then who?

Pearl: Like, Emily Venom, Ethan Maclause, William Brown, and many more!

Garnet: Y/N, what pearl is trying to say is that. We are very grateful that humans sided with us and without them we wouldn't win the war and-

You: I want to know the three. I want to know who is Emily Venom, Ethan Maclause, and William Brown for now.

Pearl: But y/n will you look at that it's getting really late we should head home now! Right amethyst?

Amethyst: No, in fact I hate to say this. But I want to know more about the war.

You: What do you mean Amethyst? Didn't you know about this kinda things?

Amethyst: I do, but I want to know about those three since garnet and pearl didn't mention this dudes.

You: You heard her. You better explain those three.

Garnet: Fine, pearl you start.

Pearl growls and sighs in annoyance.

Pearl: Okay, let's start on Emily or emy for short. Back in the war, emy was arrow's bodyguard. And we know since arrow is a very strong human that can take care of himself, Emy still insist to protect him because he was a very important person and an official to the war. It is even rumor that during the war, when arrow is in danger she always mention his name before saving arrow. But, what I really like about her is that her devotion for arrow. Because back then, emily was a knight and she thought me how to swordfight and devote my life into rose

You: So wait, emy is arrow's mikasa?

Amethyst: Who's that?

You: Nothing, carry on.

Pearl: But that was a very long time ago hahaha. I will never forget our first training and when we both sang "You do it for her or him".

Pearl: But anyways, garnet it's time for tou to explain ethan.

Garnet: Okay my turn. Ethan back then was a blacksmith during the war. Back then along with his helpers in which arrow assigned for. They made millions of sword shield, armour, and any other weapons.

Garnet: And as for William Brown he was known as the smartest human back in the time. He and arrow sometimes would make futuristic weapons or armours during the war. Y/N, remember when pearl said arrow raided and took a lot of homeworld ships?

You: Yes?

Garnet: Well. Arrow, William, Pearl and many more crystal gems and humans have studied creating weapons for the war. So, I wouldn't be surprised if modern human weapons are just left over blueprints during the war. No offense though.

You: None taken.

You: But the war lasted for like thousands of years, did they die because of oldness?

Pearl: No, rose heal them. But not every human that partake to the war that is.

You: So, how many humans did die and was revived?

Pearl: About the war? Almost 1 million people.

You: (trembling*) But, how many was the overall casualties on the human side?

Pearl: Hmm, about 6 billion lives.

You are shocked about this. Imagine the worst dictators that human has then compared to arrow that has sacrificed billions of lives

You: B-but how did they die?

Garnet: Because of the diamond blast.

Silence was in the room again.

You: What we were we like? During the war?

Pearl: You are savages during the war. Especially arrow. Arrow had the dream to shatter every single gem in existence until he met us. Arrow was so angry to homeworld gems especially to one lapis lazuli

You: What?! Who?!

Garnet: That is what we don't know about arrow, like we said arrow has a lot of secrets much more than rose.

You: But why did you come here?

Pearl: We sense that there has an intruder lurking here. We come to check it out but it was nothing.

After a while, you escaped the tower. And it was early on the morning. Meanwhile you are walking amethyst grabs your arm

You: What is it amethyst?

Amethyst: Can I tell you something?

You: sure.

Amethyst: (whispers*) Did you know, rose had an affection on arrow?

You: What?

Amethyst: Yup.

Pearl: Hush up!

You, and the three Crystal Gems head home.
