Gemstones Universe の小説・ストーリー

Screaming, she lunged at the table, grabbed the moonstone, and hurled it at the floor with everything she had. The fragile stone shattered into a dozen pieces. "You want a witch? I'll give you a witch! You want to ruin my daughter's future?" She shrieked, stomping wildly on the shards with her sharp stiletto heels. "Fake witch! Fake amulet! It's trash!" She stomped and stomped until the sacred relic—once filled with powerful lunar magic—was ground into a pile of gray dust. I watched the dust quietly. The last shred of love I had for this family—for this pack—crumbled to dust right along with it.

“This.” I say as my fingers trace along the filigree. “This is magnificent.” I am in awe of the beauty of it. Diamonds all perfectly matched set in gold. Small crescent moons hide in the filigree, only clear with the moonstones set inside them. The crests of each pack of the realm are hidden and set with diamonds. I would have missed the detail had I not immediately recognized the crest on my own homeland.

I wanted everything to be perfect for her return. Tonight, I opened her jewelry box, and with a delicate cloth, I began to wipe the treasures that had been stored away for so long. The garnet ring, the golden topaz pendant, the emerald bracelet, deep green like a forest lake, and countless other dazzling diamonds, pearls, and agates. Each one was a work of art, and I loved how they adorned the Princess, making her beauty even more radiant, enhancing her regal aura.

I heard his angry whisper. I looked at him in wonder. "Y-You know him, Brother?" "Yes. He's my Business Partner, my friend perhaps. He's the CEO of the Mantegro group of companies.” I was stunned because of what he said. Mantegro group of companies? Wasn't that what I applied before I became a model? But I didn't see him there... Wait... I inhaled and covered my mouth. He was the man behind us! "F*ck! That's why they both look alike. I'll kill him!”

Instead, they opened their backpacks and placed the seven gems they had found on the ground. Gems were just like jade. They were a form of rare minerals. They had been forged through thousands of years and were considered a marvelous sight to behold on their own. The gems they had found had also been absorbing the essence of the crystal skeleton and contained some mysterious energy. Wearing the gems as an accessory would be sure to improve any regular mortal's physical health, and even help them live longer. One of these gems alone could sell for up to a billion dollars. That was what wealthy folk were after.

The little girl said, and I smiled at her, “Wonderful. You are so smart.” I told her and she smiled at me before she curtsied, and I ruffled up her hair.“Adrian, can you name the sacred stones of each pack?” I asked him and he eagerly nodded at me. “We have the sapphire stone, house Gartreides the amethyst, house Valaires the diamond, and house Alcaires has the jade.” He said and I smiled at him. “Well done.” I proudly told Adrian and he smiled at me.

The audiences was wondering what kind of thing hidden beneath that. The moderator introduced the first item. He opened up the red clothes and it was a black diamond gemstone. The black diamond looked so elegant and charming. In their regions, the existence of this gemstone was pretty rare. The gemstone was still raw but the buyer could craft something from it such as necklace, ring, earrings or any other stuff. “There you go, one of your findings.” Miller commented on the first valuable item presented. Miller’s cousin hoped that his first item would be sold at a very high price.

They were uniquely elegant and clearly custom-designed. Jason stared at the rings. He was stunned. The old man’s voice drifted faintly into his ears. “Mr. Fender, these were commissioned by Miss Xander five years ago. “Blue Origin gemstones are only mined once every five years, and only a very limited amount is available each time, so I must apologize for the long wait. This design was created by Miss Xander herself. We all loved her work. Unfortunately, she insisted these rings remain one of a kind, only for the two of you.

Everly’s POV The Goddess was right. I needed Avril to be here. She and I were connected in some way. We were both given a curse just so the Pantheon could give us some of their power. I had thought I was the only one. But my wolf’s sister was here in the flesh. My wolf was spinning around. “We are gemstone wolves.” I explain to Avril. “The Goddess choses to give us gifts, but every gift must come with a price. For you, you can see visions, but you’re blind.”

My silence in my state of shock must have been mistaken by him as a dislike, as he asks me, “You don’t like it?” “No, I mean yes. It’s beautiful. I have never seen anything like it before.” I tell him, as my hands continue to shake holding the box, and he reaches in and pulls the necklace from within it, as he tells me to turn around. “It’s a sunstone. It has been in my family for generations, and it is said to hold powers if worn by the right person. Unfortunately, no one in my family has ever personally experienced this, but its beauty exceeds its expectations.” He explains to me, as he places the necklace around my neck and the tips of his fingers graze my bare flesh, while goosebumps rai
