Chapter 1
It was a dark and misty night on the Gem establishment hovering between Earth’s tall, green mountains. I kneeled in Blue Diamond's Palanquin, before Her Clarity Blue Diamond herself. Everything was silent. She wore a deep blue cloak that covered her features in shadow. Her Pearl stood beside her, not moving a muscle or any expression at all. I felt clammy; what if I was in trouble?

"Hiddenite," Blue Diamond said. "I have a mission for you."

"What is it?" I asked, keeping my voice even.

"You will go to Earth’s surface to spy on the Crystal Gems. You will pretend to be one of them to find out all their secrets."

"I will, my Diamond," I said, saluting her. This seems dangerous, I thought, but didn't dare say aloud to her.
