"Are you ready Black? Because we're here."
As the torso ship existed out of the warp White Diamond introduced me to Homeworld. It was honestly quite amazing. It wasn't all broken and cracked like in the show, so I'm definitely in the starting Diamond age. As we made our way down the colourful planet I saw the structures and Gems working around the city.
There were Quartzes, Nephrites, and others. There was a considerable lack of variety, maybe because the other Diamonds have yet to introduce them. I guess like how Pink made Rose Quartzs the rest of the Diamonds must have introduced the rest. Wait since I'm the second Diamond and my stature and power is near that of White's, I could also introduce new gems, does that mean I can design them to look like ANIME CHARACTERS!!!
As I began to lose myself in my delusions of grandeur and playing god I heard White begin to speak.
"Come now Black you can look around the empire at a later date. For now rest and acquaint yourself with your new power. I will give you a month to adjust and prepare yourself and your pearl will be primed to be in your service in your room. If you need any equipment just ask the pebbles in your room and if it's something the pebbles can't provide just ask any Gem and they will provide it. I have ensured it." She said the last part with a deeper, more ominous voice and still having that same smile on her face.
I guess she is more caring now since she doesn't know grief. I think Pink Diamond's "Death" was the trigger for her obsession to overtake her. Enough of this, I can use my anime thinking by myself later for now I respond with.
"Thank you White, I'll be sure to let you or anyone else know if I need anything." I replied with a small curtsy.
White just smiled and then a white bubble surrounded me. I just waited for what seemed like a few minutes and the bubble quickly popped showing me an empty space that is about the size of a large school building and as tall as an apartment complex with a large window showing the Capital of Homeworld. So enough room for me to move around in and "play". I see a pedestal in the middle of the room with a white stone, which I assume is my Pearl, on a black pillow.
Putting Pearl aside now I first had to satisfy my own ego and look in a mirror and if this works like Pink's room in SU then all I have to do is say it and it will appear. Equipment might take a little longer, but for now I want to see what I look like. So…
"Mirror."
*BRRRRR*
Quickly a 92ft mirror rose from the ground and appeared before me. As I look down I see the pebbles, the adorable creatures they quickly scatter about. Wow, they are adorable. I can see why PInk and Steven adored them so much, they look like plush toys with rock accessories.
Taking my attention off the pebbles I look at myself in the mirror and quickly become stunned. I have black high heel boots similar to Yellow diamond in the show except with laces that are slightly lighter shade of black, dark grey pants, tied to my waist was a shawl or cape similar to White Diamond but in a grayscale pattern from top to bottom that almost touches the ground, a black full sleeve buttonless silk shirt that begins to loosen near my hand, what looks to be professionally done black nails, and a pitch black, almost as if absorbing the light, black diamond near my chest.
However what stunned me the most was my face. I looked like Senior White from Cultivation Chat Room but more Female than he already was and with his hair that nearly reached my waist. One thing to note though was I would be considered more of a Senior Black in my case. My Skin tone was a light ash grey colour, my lips were shining black, but the most notable thing about me were my eyes.
My round irises were actually pure white which showed a sharp contrast to my sclera that seems to be an ink black, instead of the usual white, that becomes lighter the closer it gets to my iris. I also have the standard black diamond shaped pupil.
Oh, I'm going to be a lady killer aren't I? I mean who wouldn't with this face? Before I could lose myself in my vanity I had the Pebbles make me a throne to sit down on and began to think with my right hand holding my chin up and resting my elbow on the arm of the throne.
I died and I'm in Steven Universe, a show I liked which is an upside and I'm Black Diamond. Three of my "sisters" are going to take over the galaxy and one of them was so alienated by them that she faked her own death, which had long lasting consequences for both sides. Namely the corrupted Gems on earth and breaking an already broken family even more. I'm not even going to mention everything else in between, that would take too long.
Oh and I also devoured the souls and consciousness of the planet that created me along with everything that originated from it. So I'm a mass murderer now? I don't feel guilty since they were already dead and I just killed the planet and took its memories. So they should live on in me and my existence, still I should properly organize it in a few minutes. I think I'll refer to them as the fallen race since I am physically incapable of pronouncing their real name.
Speaking of organizing, why did I say I was going to be a lady killer. I don't even remember my gender so was I male or LGBTQ? I guess at this point no one could guess my sexual orientation, so I'll stop worrying about it. I mean what good could it do? I had a fairly normal life and I can't even remember my previous existence. The only me that is left would be my personality and that "me" experienced death.
So there is no need to worry about useless stuff and just to ensure my best existence as of now. Since a Gem is around 95% consciousness I can probably do something similar to Heaven Path Library, but focuses on the fallen instead.
I spent the next few days focusing on organizing the information into categories and sections while I just stared through the window. Since I'm a Gem and don't need sleep it was quite easy. Now that I have finished the "Black Diamond Library" or the BDL as I call it I decide it's time to figure out my powers. However for that I may need equipment the Pebbles can't provide.
So as I finally get up from my thrones and make my way to the pedestal that contains my Pearl? Oh I'm owning a slave aren't I. It feels weird to own someone and have them dedicate themselves to your own existence. If the Pearls from the show were any indication, it would not be healthy.
Then again I would have someone I could count on and I would probably draw White's attention if I started breaking the "norm". I could pull a Pink and make her my friend which could help us both in a way. In a society where everyone is under chains that are imposed by others and themselves. I think I'll do that instead of treating her like an object she was designed to be. Finishing my thought I stopped in front of the Pearl and stretched my hand out.
