“Do you know that in the world there are about one hundred and four rare gems that are yet to be found, “ he paused and then from the light just over head, i watched his shadow toss something up, from the outline i figured it out to be a dagger. “And i have managed to get lay my hands on fifty of them, out of which the most sort after by every aristocrat is the red gem-” he held the knife and with a sharp throw, the knife was hurled in my direction. I remained where i was because he was aiming for the shooting points just above my head but i could sense a form of cruelty from the throw. The red gem. The one that Maya was current

Marcen nodded to his men. “Now can you show me red stones?” Marcen took her to the rubies “These are rubies… they are naturally expensive… I can also show you garnets or red cubic zirconia stones as well, if you prefer.” “Let me see the rubies first.” Dana thought ‘Sarah should be able to afford this, right?’ She knitted her brows. “Don’t think too much. Her husband can afford it.” Ben whispered. He knew what she was looking for once he heard the second color although he had no idea what her plan was.

Waiting sustains an unshakable expectation in my chest, Nigrum is the first sector that shows me a certain warmth and will of its population; funny because it's the second poorest in Atlanta even though it's extremely important for the country, maybe in my government I can change a lot of things around here, however right now all I can do is feel this energy that emanates from the arena that awaits the girl who will fight for the crown, I'm standing in front of the podium; my gaze remains serious as usual, my eyebrows are drawn together expressing the severity of my soul, I stare at the bottom where a floor of dry sand stretches out; the presenter enters at this moment with an extremely exag

I whisper, tears steadily streaming down my cheeks. The whole band on each one on is covered in tiny diamonds, right in the center is a different colored stone. Reece is holding one with a sparkly black gem. Raikin's ring has a small red gem and Ryder's ring has a tiny sky blue gem stone in it. Their favorite colors. A way for me to distinguish my rings. "Baby girl. I know we are still young and we have a lifetime of getting to know each other ahead of us, but we wanted to ask you something." Raikin says, drawing my attention back to him.

Merlin comes back over with three round gems, “Now, I wouldn’t make you carve the setting, I could magic that for you, but maybe one of these, here?” She hums thoughtfully and looks at the gems he’s chosen. They were all smooth circular cabochons; there was a fire agate, a fire opal, and a dragon’s breath opal, which she knows is just fancy glass. But the hints of blue spoke to her, she picks it up and places it where he had suggested, she tilts her head and pulls out Kai’s gift too.

Placing it on the bed, she nodded toward it. "This is all of it, my mother's gems and jewelry." The hulking gladiator quickly and unceremoniously dumped out the bag's contents on the bed. Emeralds, amethysts, rubies, citrines, and even a few small diamonds glittered in the late afternoon light. There were other varieties of gems also, too many to quickly name, in the priceless hoard that lay before them. The gladiator picked up a silver-chained necklace and stared at the gem dangling below. The precious stone bore an orange tint kissed with sun's gold, like a burnished bronze only more vibrant somehow. It reminded the gladiator of the color of a fine, freshly brewed ale.

“You need to destroy them. The soldiers. Before Andrei gets here.” I stared at him. “How?” Damon reached into his torn shirt, fumbling for something. Finally, he pulled out a small ruby that looked different from the others. This one was darker, almost black at the center, with veins of red running through it. “Take this,” he said, holding it out through the bars. “And be careful. Don’t drop it.”

"S-Second wife?" Caelia’s voice faltered as she swallowed the pit of nausea rising in her throat. Her heart pounded painfully, as though trying to escape her chest. Surely, she’d misheard. Selene tilted her head slightly, one perfectly arched brow lifting. "Oh? You didn’t know?" she asked, each passing second twisting the knife in Caelia’s chest. "‘Draken’s gem’? Did you truly think a dragon would be satisfied with only one gem? It’s in his nature…”

Grace put her hand out for Dom and Cassandra to inspect it. “I love the ruby, it sets off the Dragon and the Phoenix really well!" Grace said. Dom and Cassandra looked at each other, with a weird look on their faces. “What? I don’t care if it is not a real ruby, it is still beautiful!” Grace said. “Honey, that is not a ruby, it's a red diamond!” Dom said. “A what?” Grace said confused. Dom rolled his eyes and said “ A red diamond! Only the rarest and most expensive stone in the world! I have never seen one so big, it must have cost Xan an absolute fortune!”

"I don't want a temporary arrangement." He reached into his other pocket. He pulled out a small box. It wasn't velvet. It was made of polished obsidian. He opened it. Vespera gasped. It wasn't a white diamond. It wasn't the Thorne sapphire. It was a Red Diamond. One of the rarest stones on earth. It glowed with a fierce, internal fire, the color of passion, the color of blood, the color of the dress she had worn to destroy her enemies.
