(Rewinding a bit)"Hey guys, sleep good?" Alice said to the few people who woke up. "I still havent gotten everyones name..so far, i think I've met Mizuki, izzy, liam, zari, and mari. Plus my brother, this dude, Yasuke," she said, pointing to him. "Agreed. Ive met like 3 people so far. Want some fish?" He said
"You okay izzy?" Alice said, seeing the tears in her eyes(i forgot about her other power, to charm/put someone under a spell with her voice..maybe that'll be Malani's power c: )
Zari sat up and walked out of the igloo, and walked over to the pond he and Rosalie went to when he first came to the realm. They probably won't miss me anyways, and maybe if I do I'll be freed from here... he thought. A dagger of ice quickly formed in his hand, and he pulled up his shirt, revealing the sapphire. Carefully, he cut the area around it, and it popped out in a bloody mass in his hands. He was clenching his teeth, trying to keep the pain from poofing him. The ice dagger misted, and a pedestal of ice rose from the pond. He washed the sapphire off in the pond, and set it on the pedestal, looking back at his shirt. It's now or never, since it'll be harder if I poof again. he thought. He ignored the blood almost pouring into the pond as a large hammer of ice formed in his hands. He raised it, ready to shatter his gem. Freedom will be mine.
Zari turned around, letting the hammer drop, and seen Alice. "Um... nothing. Go away!" he said. He raised the hammer again, trying to aim it at the sapphire so it strikes it perfectly in the center.
"What? No! Tell me, what are you doing??!" Alice yelled(maybe the charming voice can be malani's gem power.. ) Yasuke heard alice yelling. He went out of the igloo to look. He saw zari with an ice hammer aiming foto his sapphire. "Dude, are you trying to kill yourself or something??" He said. He remembered his gem. He focused, and made it pitch black. "Stop," he said. His voice felt different..like it was magical (which it is c: )
Zari looked back, and seen Alice's friend come out, and suddenly seen the forest turning pitch black. He couldn't see anything, not even the sapphire. "I'm leaving this realm. I'm just tired..." he sat on the edge of the pond, and covered his eyes. "I.... " he stuttered as he spoke, letting the hammer of ice clink on the ground. "I-I... I worked for king Lief. He made me do it. He made me force fuse Emrys with someone. That's why he was going crazy, he was a force fusion of two rubies. Only one of the shards are his; the other is the shard of someone else's ruby." Tears poured from his eyes, and froze before they hit the ground. He was happy no one could see anything, or else they might wonder why he was crying. "Lief threatened me... he said if I didn't, he would extract the dark shard from my sapphire..." Zari got up, rubbing his eyes with his sleeve, and reached reluctantly for the sapphire. "It's my fault. Everyone here hates me. Kyle doesn't trust me; Izzy thinks I'm a theif; Mizuki thinks I'm a murderer. I don't know what to do anymore...." he sighed. "This sapphire is endagering us all. If the king of this realm sees me, he'll kill you all and use your gems for experiements, and take me hostage again. I just want to be free..."
(Yasuke can see in the dark ?\_(ツ)_/? ) "zari..I'm really sorry to hear that..listen, I may not know you that well, but I trust you at least..no one should be able to control you, for all you know, he could just be saying he's going to extract the darkness from your sapphire, but may not. He sounds like an evil man..just run..at least, thats what I'd do. Sorry I'm not that much of a pep coach.." Alice said. Yasuke stood there, not knowing a thing to say, probably since Alice said most of it already. He saw a frozen tear roll down Zari's face
Zari heard the voice. It sounded like Alice's voice. He walked away from the pond, and went inside the igloo, his eyes fixated on the sapphire. After his eyes adjusted to the light, he sighed and sat down inside, not knowing what to do or say.
Yasuke made it light again so aloce would be able to find her way back to the igloo. He too, went in Alice's eyes adjusted to the light and went back in her igloo and finished her fish that she had been holding the whole time
