[size=16pt]W[/size]elcome - We are the crystal gems.
Many years ago, a war was fought on this planet, between a group of rebels and their home world for the future of this planet know as earth. It was a long conflict, many gems were shattered in the conflict on both sides. In the end, the rebels one, but at a large cost.
Now the remnants of the rebel cause, the crystal gems, are limited in numbers, but still committed to their mission of protecting earth.
They now in this modern day hold up in a small on the crystal clear ocean front of a small island chain off the coast of the main land. The temple takes the shape of a simple small wooden house protruding out of the dark cliff side as it looks out onto the ocean as the days go by, the cliff weathered, and the remnants of the old temple, a statue weathered and aged. But the place is home to the crystal gems, home to us.
It is like this that this story of the crystal gems begins, a new chapter in a different book, the first chapter. New threats, new adventures, new gems. Let's begin, shall we?

[align=center][font=trebuchet ms][size=16pt]W[/size]hat's going on here? - The explanation.
We, are the crystal gems. We're still alive, and we're still the guardians of this planet. At least those of us that are left. Which isn't really that many in the grand scheme of things. We used to be led by a gem by the name of Rose Quartz, but at some point during the conflict she was... lost. Or maybe shattered. Really none of us are quite sure. But her memories live on in every one of us, and the memories of the other gems that fought along side us.
After we lost Rose a different gem took command, another quartz, a valiant warrior and a gem that shared her spirit and love of all things on earth. This gem was called Sunset Quartz, and she was able to bring us together, and make our little group somewhat whole again. It felt almost a hollow victory really, losing Rose, most of our friends, our companions, either shattered in the conflict or corrupted somewhere along the way. Sunset Quartz helped us remember what we had fought for, and how astounding this planet was, and how much it deserved to be protected.
Years past, well actually thousands of years really, and we kept our vigil on our little island under the watch of Sunset quartz. Over the years, humans had moved in and made a little town that had the name city thrown in to make it seem a little bigger, and somewhere along the lines, more recently actually, Sunset quartz met a human who... Piqued her interests. More so than any others that we had encountered over the centuries we were here. He was a nice enough little human, that Ben, maybe a bit of a dreamer ((He was an artist, and she was his muse)), but that could have been why she liked him so much. And as they got to know each other she cam to make the decision to... Give up her physical form to bring a new life into the world ((Much to the objection of some of us... Although she didn't tell us until it was way to late to change that decision)). The kinds of which we never had really seen before. Part gem part human. We just called her Sara.
It's been a little bit over ten or twelve years now, and that's where we are now...
