Chapter 1346

As we moved through the city, I began to make out a massive building. It had to be the palace, the home of King Diorite. It wasn’t built of stone. It was built of crystal. It caught the light and glimmered in a way that even seemed to push back the darkness, allowing me to get a good look at the massive building. Many of the houses from before had been carved into the walls. The fronts of them looked to be built like your typical square home, but the backs sunk into the stone walls.

The palace was an exception to this rule. The entire massive cavern that made up this city carved out enough space that the palace could be placed in the center. From top to bottom, it was completely exposed and could be seen from every side. I realized that that the palace seemed to sit in the center, with a circular street around it, and an extension running off from every side. Although it was hard to tell because of the encroaching shadows, I was guessing the city had the shape of an asterisk.

I was still walking forward when I felt Sapphire’s hand slip from my back. I stopped and turned back, but there was no one there. I was immediately caught by surprise. Sapphire had only just let go of me a second before. She wouldn’t have had time to chase after me.

The door finished opening, a crack that leads into darkness. At least, I couldn’t see any light spilling out from within the palace. After a brief moment, a head popped out. It was a head filled with red hair, and I immediately recognized them.

“Garnet?” My eyes widened.

“Master! You found us!” She smiled.

Just like that, I had found Garnet.
