|||⟴ how long had it been since she was created? she liked to count the days. for some
|||||||reason, it felt.. special. like it should be kept note of. there were no reason for
|||||||these thoughts in front of her smithing anvil, but even still she enjoyed the thoughts.
|||||||it was boring to do the same work day in and day out, even if it was her purpose.
|||||||Sometimes bismuth felt like maybe it wasn't what she was meant to do.. but those
|||||||thoughts would be quickly erased as a new swarm of weapons orders would be sent
|||||||for. She didn't need sleep, but the thought of all of those orders made her feel tired.

|||||||she had been working on one weapon, a scythe-like blade attached to a sturdy armband,
|||||||for the past few hours. the work was grueling, but she supposed it had its own rewards.
|||||||she had sent rose pearl out to request extra materials while she was busy, so for now she
|||||||was alone. her workshop was quiet, save for the endless metallic banging that came from
|||||||her work. she sighed, reaching up her hand to wipe the nonexistent sweat off of her
|||||||brow.

|||||||her shelf creaked under the weight of the hoards of items that she had found. bismuth
|||||||was a collector, she couldn't help picking up any little intriguing objects she found and
|||||||bringing them back to her workshop. far too few gems did as such, in her opinion. there
|||||||were so many interesting little things to be picked up, it really was a shame that so few
|||||||of them ever did.

|||⟴ a breath of fresh air was good once and awhile. a break from the dingy, dull-lit
|||||||workshop that silver bismuth slaved away in was just what rose pearl needed.
|||||||although she wasn't the biggest fan of leaving bismuth by herself, and the fact that
|||||||she was on a supply run didn't help, it seemed to be a nice day. nothing helped to
|||||||melt away rose pearl's stress like a nice day, other than spending time with bismuth.
|||||||outside, at least.

|||||||even though she felt happy, she could feel glares from other gems who saw her on her
|||||||own. she stared down at the ground, diverting her eyes from them. a pearl like her
|||||||was not meant to be on her own. she was always supposed to be at bismuth's side, even
|||||||though bismuth often told her that she didn't care. that she was her own gem who could
|||||||make her own decisions. she wished she could believe it herself, but the glares from
|||||||the other gems told her it could never be true. she loved bismuth's optimistic view,
|||||||although she was normally the pessimist between the two, but she knew it was far too
|||||||hopeful.

Steven frowned a little as the blue powder pearl began to speak about his mum like she was. He hated how people talked about her like this in front of him, because he himself had never met her himself, he didn't know how to feel about her, but he wanted to believe she was the good guy in this war. All she wanted to do was save the planet that she saw beauty in, unlike any other gem had. She saw people existing here, peaceful people, and wanted to save them. Pearl made Rose sound like a warrior, a perfect gem, someone who loved everything and hated nothing, someone who wouldn't hurt anyone. But everyone else made her sound selfish, mean, like a murderer who shattered her diamond out of cold blood. But Steven didn't want to believe that, he really didn't. The Earth belonged to Pink Diamond. Destroying her was the only way to save the planet. For Amethyst to be herself, for Pearl to be free, for me to be together. For you to exist.. "She wasn't that bad... I think-" he said a little sadly, letting his shirt fall back over his stomach and gem. "And... I dunno how many survived, all I know out of the original crystal gems is Garnet, Ruby and Sapphire I mean, Pearl, Amythest and Bismuth... Though she tried to kill me..." Steven shrugged, "but there are others now, for example Wulf-"

Looking at Steven sympathetically, I spoke quietly. "Steven, you alright? I-If I could change, I just wished I joined Rose's group." I tried to make him feel better, but was unsure what to say. Not that I was lying... I really did want to join, but was too intimidated and scared of consequences.

Powder ran her gloved hand through Steven's hair in a calm caring way. "I know humans as well as I know my own kind by now. Your mother was a great, beautiful warrior. She gave homeworld quite the scare, I would know because, I was on the losing side." she said gently "I didnt understand what she fought for then, but I've learned to love the Earth slowly, she fought for a good reason, I think at least. In war, even the best people have to lower their morals, I remember the war vividly. Gems I knew so well were so different, brutal even. I'm sure the Rose I knew wasn't the real Rose, she must've had great love to protect a helpless planet with such determination. Dont let old war stories ruin your opinion of her, I shouldn't have spoken up." she said with an almost maternal tone "... and I should check on that Wulfunite, with what I recall of their position back on homeworld, I think I know what she's going through.."

"Alright! I'll watch over Steven, Bye Blue!" I called joyfully, playing around in the sand by now.

Wulf continued to stare into the water blankly, now cooled down and scowling coming to terms with things. Well...more like shoving them aside. It wasn't worth the bother at the moment. Standing, the gem walked the width of the doc, staring out at the sea curiously. She couldn't exactly remember much of the planet. Back before the war she'd be apart of helping construct and manage the Kindergartens, just doing her job day in and day out. She hardly took breaks when things picked up and it was found that things were doing surprisingly well. Abundant resources for Homeworld to take. Wulfenite and other others of her were the main managers of it, the lowest of the low in the on world hierarchy, possibly only a step above Pearls in theory, but far below in true importance. When the war broke out she'd immediately choose homeworld- more out of fear. But soon she was placed on the front line of the war, a disposable foot soldier. She'd barely survived the first few battles.

It hadn't been until a silver gem had found her and spoke of the rebels' cause and what they're fighting for she couldn't believe it. Fight to be what we want, not what we were made for. Fight for freedom. For choices. It had all sounded so wonderful and believable that she's gone along then and there. Wulf had found she was great at fighting, now accepting of her abilities and know she was free to be as she was, not as she was meant to be in the eyes of the Higher Uppers.

But near the end when things were getting bad all at once she'd been poofed by a trap of falling rocks meant for the durable gems like her and in a final attempt, she'd pushed her comrades out of the way and took the hit. However, instead of shattering, like everyone believed, she'd been trapped, unable to truly reform being stuck. Years past and the rocks eroded, wore down, broke apart, and washed away, until the day came when her subconscious was aware of the ability to reform again. Her gem had floated up from its previous bounds and had reformed. By then she knew it was too late. She traveled the feild awhile before stepping onto the pad, hopeful for some survivors at the old base...she founded the remainder alright. It was the saddest and happiest sight she'd seen. At least they'd won, she reasoned the first month back. But as time went on she became bitter of all the deaths and corruptions. It simply wasn't fair to them all. Wulf didn't blame the Crystal Gems, no she blamed Homeworld. For ruining their own kind who just wanted to be free and with free will. She'd never trusted other gems if she knew where they came from. It was easy to tell the difference.

I sat in the sand by Steven, childishly creating sandcastles with fire on the tips and drawing in the sand around it.

Powder stood up, giving a nod to Amber and Steven, they should be fine. And left to find the large hairy woman she was clinging to not long ago. If she really was a rebel, that meant her homeworld status didn't matter to her, she might even take her in as her pearl, isn't that what every gem wanted?

It didn't take her long at all to find her. when Powder had issues accepting her lonesome life, she always went to stare at large bodies of water to collect her thoughts. as she suspected, Wulfunite was out on the pier, looking into the horizon. She quietly approached the gem and sat beside her without asking permission, something rather bold considering her nature. She was quiet for a long time, just watching the ocean with her, before breaking the silence "I know how you feel." she said in her usual sweet soft voice. "We aren't completely alike. I sided with homeworld, I didn't understand the rebellion, I didn't try to.. But when my Larimar, the one I was designed to serve, got stuck on the battlefield, I took a blow that would've shattered her gem, and watched her retreat to the ships as I lost my form. When I finally reformed, I was alone, abandoned, and the only gems I ever came across were corrupted." she stated in a calm tone. She was an emotional gem, and cried very easily, but her voice didnt even crack talking about her past, she had many years to reflect on it and had eventually lost the strong feelings she once had for this event

"But I know why you left. Despite my status being much higher than yours, we were treated the same way. We worked so hard and gave everything we could to our higher-ups, only to be replaced and forgotten. I dont understand your relationship with Steven or Amber, but it must've reminded you of your past when he defended her." her voice was still bell-like, but more somber than before "I dont know where my loyalty lies, but I do know I can never have my life on homeworld again, and the same goes for you. Here, we have no purpose, no one to dedicate our lives to pleasing, no one to order us, no one to give us our reason to live. We are free now and no one can take anything from us, because we have nothing. I know you're hurt and remembering your purpose, but none of it applies here. The human boy is too young to understand what you've been through, and is too gentle-hearted to want to put you through this. He just wants to make everyone happy, yet is unaware of how his actions effect you. Humans are strange, ignorant creatures, but they usually mean well." she giggled with a bittersweet smile, finally looking over at Wulfunite "No one is looking down on you, you arent what you once were. Neither of us are"

Steven sighed, wondering why all of these new gems were coming to earth... Though so far most of them seemed kind, everything was making him feel all up sick. He played around in the sand for a moment, before turning around and heading back into the temple with a huff, attempting to make his card tower again without interruption.

Polkadot gasped at the sound of a new voice outside of the barn, "ah! Another crystal gem-" she panicked, "Peridot tell her that I'm friendly!"
