The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 44.

Arrow: Pearl, garnet let me go. I'm done now

Garnet and pearl then let go of arrow.

Emilia: Guards, lower you swords for a while.

Arrow then walks to emilia to explain what just happened.

Arrow: It was my decision. I was just trying to improve my strength

emilia gives a sigh of relief.

emily: What a relief, I thought they were trying to kill you. Here my emperor ( emily gaves the note to him*)

Arrow: (opens the note and reads it*) So, there are new nations that are willing to join us?

Arrow reads it and the news calms him down.

Arrow: Good, it warms my heart to know that they are willing to join us for our cause. And this is kind of news are the things to make me calm down

A soldier then appears with an armoured horse.

Random Soldier: My emperor, we've brought your horse for the grand meeting.

Arrow: Thank you, I will go there to meet with them.

The crystal gems then walked up, curious about the entire situation.

Rose: What is it arrow? Is there a problem? By the way, I didn't mean what I said you know.

Arrow: It's alright, I'm sorry I went wild. And the answer to your question is in fact, it's the opposite. Many people from southeast asia wants to join forces with the fallen. There have been some reports that homeworld gems invaded their lands a few weeks ago.

Rose: Wait, how did they hold them off with such weak weapons?

Arrow: One word rose, "outnumbered". Luckily, it was just two ships who invaded them. And now, they are afraid that they might attack again.

Pearl: And when they join the fallen or the rebellion in general. They can defend themselves because we can now teach them about our enemies weakness and also gave them weapons and resources they need to survive. It all makes sense now.

Arrow: Exactly.

Rose: But what if they ambush you or attack us while you are gone?

Arrow: Hmm, you have a point rose. Garnet?

Garnet: No one is going to ambush arrow nor attack us while he's gone rose. Don't worry it's safe.

Arrow: Well, I guess it's safe then. And before I leave, may I speak to pearl alone?

Rose: Sure thing, come on garnet we need to make plans for our next attack.

Rose and garnet leave for arrow to talk to pearl.

Arrow: Pearl, I'll get straight to the point here. I want you to take this. (gives a scroll*)

Pearl: (confused and takes the scroll*) What is it?

Arrow: Inside the scroll, lies the abilities of a yashiko and the ways to unlock each ability and control it. Pearl, as a friend. If you met a yashiko, i want you to train it with the help of the scroll. Could you do it?

Pearl: (looks at the scroll*) First, what's a yashiko? And second, Why can't you do it?

Arrow:... I only live for a century pearl. Please do me a solid. And all of the things you need to know are inside the scroll.

Pearl: (thinks for a minute*) Okay, I will.

Arrow: (smiles*) Thanks, you're a good friend and I believe in you pearl.
