Liam continued to look around, and saw two sets of footprints, one that seemed to be going towards the igloo, and another that seemed to be going away from it. He knew the ones lading to the igloo were his, as he had just arrived there, so he ran in the direction the other set of footprints were leading to, hoping to find out who broke the igloo.
"Uh, that was weird," Rosalie said. She saw Mizuki panicking for her gem. "Oh, uh, about your gem.. That king named Lief took it. He just left." She felt horrible, since she was the one who gave it to Lief.
She frowned. "You mean that weirdo that was walking around earlier?" She asked, still hoping she could find it within the sanctuary. "Why'd he take it?"
Zari looked back, and seen a blond-haired boy running up to him. He didn't know who it was, so he took out his sapphire and held it, just in case. "Hello?" He called out. Gods... I'm so worried about Mizuki and Rosalie... I hope they're okay.
Zari guiltily looked back, and nodded. "If the king sees them, he'll surely steal whatever gems he can find to shatter them. I'd suggest rescuing anyone out of the frozen woods and running as far away from that, and me, as soon as possible." he said. He started walking again into the deeper part of the woods.
Zari stopped and looked back, "Because he needs the Dark Crystal fragments from each gem to fuse into a massive dark crystal, hopefully with enough power to break the time-space continuum here and create a portal." he said. "And the only way to get them, is by shattering gems and extracting the shards."
"If he's trying to find a way out of here, then why is breaking the gems so bad?" He then thought about something. "...And do you have any idea why a gem gets damaged when their owner dies? And do you know how the damage goes away after some time?"
"Because the dark shards are the only known way of exiting this realm. He's just desperate to leave, and his emerald is just making it easier for him to get his way." Zari thought about the question, and answered, "The gem may or may not get a crack in it if its owner dies because the gem is a magical persona of that person. Everyone here is different, and has a different personality, therefore a different gem and different powers. The cracks will go away because in this realm, I believe we all experience accelerated regeneration. Look." He pulled up his shirt, revealing his belly button. A scar was barely left where he cut out the sapphire, "Over time, just like our bodies in this realm, the gems will heal. Or, you can just use a gem with healing powers to heal it." he said. He looked at his sapphire, realizing he could've possibly healed himself with it by now.
"Hmm..." He thought about Zari's answers for a moment. "But why would gems themselves heal even if their owners are dead?" Unless... He wondered of it was possible to bring a dead person back to life in this realm.
(HYYYYPPPEEEE) Yasuke had eavesdropped on the conversation between Lief and Rosalie. "The king, eh? One special guy i must say myself.." He said to himself, a bit too loud
(Wont be on today, happy thanksgiving America!)
(I think it was something like," Lief heard the voice. He went to go see. It looked like the boy was a puppet. Lief formed a dagger from emerald," i dunno lmao)
(Lucaaaaa)
