>chained, bruised and beaten, such was the life for a fallen gem like her
>she rememebered the day when she was renounced by the order of Blue Diamond, her diamond, as Lapis thought, but she was no longer in her radiant court
>Just for failing a single mission, Blue had decided to punish her in a more fitting way as she was too valuablke for shattering or for harvest, no, that was for lesser gems like peridots or jaspers
>as she remembered her bygone times as a proud terraformer, her shattered pride and crude humiliation arose like a sick odour and stung her wary consciousness like a gem shard, she slowly raised her pale sunken eyes into the hazy memory of her first day in this dreaded kindergarten, the penal colony where her life of misery and pain has begun
>she remembered how they used a strange device to null her gem powers and thrown her to the gem colony like an animal who was about to get slaughtered
>but lapis thought, even an animal would be luckier as death is nohting but an escape, but she couldn't die, as she was forced to live, live to suffer as the punishment itself was considered "worse than shattering"
>So, lapis wept, she wept and wept until she could cry no more for it was the only thing she could do for her abused self
