Every Gem is created for a purpose. A Ruby is a foot soldier; a Pearl is a loyal servant for a high-ranking Gem. We are grown for a purpose, and that purpose is never meant to be changed.
In all the years after the rebellion was quashed, I was fine with that purpose.
But now.... I don't know. I've spent time with organic beings who do not have an inherent purpose, who have created their own purpose....
