Roses And Gems

Seven hours had passed since the gem attacked the guards. All of them were healed by his healing spit. Marcus has the power to heal animals and plants, as well as repair Gems and inanimate objects. He can also heal common human injuries and conditions. And on top of that, for protecting Flurry, he got paid, BIG TIME. He had enough to buy a good home, which he knows how to take care of himself because he didn’t have parents at the time, and some food to hold him over and just a bit more to buy a certain something: A Warp Pad! Warp Pads are teleportation devices created and utilized by Gems, but he hasn't told anyone yet and is going into town to get some supplies before he goes onto the warp pad. He then saw a newspaper headline.

Child Slays A Supposed “Gem Mutant”

Is the “Human” To Be Trusted?

He shrugged it off as he walked through the market, unaware of twelve girls following wherever he went. Then, when he finally turned around, he was bombarded by question upon question, upon question. Flurry was behind the crowd, growling, clearly jealous. Not of his popularity, but… something else. Marcus then waved goodbye.

‘How dare they!’ She thought to herself.

“So kid, you want this ukulele? Do you even know how to play it?” a shop owner asked as he had the fabled instrument. Flurry was following him, making sure no one was flirting with him. Why? Beats me, this alicorn was weird. The shop owner handed the ukulele to Marcus.

Flurry let out a squee, until she covered her mouth, worried that he would hear her. Marcus attracted a crowd as they all clapped, he smiled as his gem glowed and projected Rose”s shield. His smile grew as a few mares blew kisses his way, making him blush. This made Flurry furious. The mares that blew kisses at him were tripped over by Flurry’s magic. Marcus tapped her shoulder, startling Flurry Heart.

“Hey, did you trip those two?” He asked her.

“N-No I didn’t! Your song was great by the way.” She said as she blushed.

“Oh thanks. I’ve been practicing my butt off for the past year.” He had a faint blush as she gave him something: A rose.

“H-Here!” She exclaimed. He smiled, because his sword, and shield were the color of roses, or had shapes of roses.

“Cool. Thank you Flurry.” He booped her nose.
