(Emrys is the plot twist we've all been waiting for)
Zari sat up and held the sapphire in his hand, looking at it intently.
If the only way to break a fusion, is death... maybe... that's it! You need to feel the magic leave you and a disconnect to unfuse. I should've figured that out sooner so I could have spared him. Now... I can begin creating a cluster.
rolleyes: definite SU reference)
Zari shoved the sapphire in his pocket, and took out a small notebook, his journal he kept. It was the only thing besides his clothes he got to bring from the overworld. He wrote down:
'Day 7. Many people have appeared, and they each have a magical gem like me. The gems powers vary, but one seems to be powerless: a peridot. If used in a fusion, the peridot's power may be truly discovered. I've finally deduced in my fusion experiment from day 1 with Emrys that in order to unfuse, you must have the desire, the power, and the weakness to return gems to their former self. Apparently, my ice and water power is strong enough to break a fused gem, and also strong enough to completely destroy it. Tomorrow I will try another fusion, but this time with other people's gems; if it works and I can split the gems apart, I'll be able to begin working on the cluster.'
He closed the journal, and shoved it along with the fountain pen that came with it into his pocket, and walked back into the camp, and noticed smoke coming out of the igloo. He crawled in and seen Izzy making a fire in the center. He sat next to her, and embraced the warmth. It felt nice.
