Chapter 4: Carrot Cake
3rd P.O.V
The next morning, DJ sat on her bed as she tried to contact Dubster with her Headphone. She waited for a few minutes until the beeping stoped and a small click came through the ear muffs.
"Hello?" A young voice could be heard trough the speeker.
"Hey Dubster... I just... wanted to tell you some... interesting news..." She said slowly.
DJ continued on explaining to the boy on the other side about on what happens yesterday. She explained that they found a boy unconscious near the river and the fact that he has a Corrupted Gem.
"Not only that... he also has amnesia.."
She could hear a small gasp comming from the speaker.
"Did you.... found out what his powers are?" He asked with worry.
"Not yet... that's why I'm calling you...

"Ar-are you sure...?"
"Dubster.... it's been 2 years... I'm ready, And the fact that most of the information about the gems are in the base's library" she replied with deadpand voice.
"O-oh... want me to tell the others?"
"...Sure..."
"I'm glad you're coming back. Its been a while...." She could hear a small sniff coming from the speaker. She could only guess that he was crying a little. Well... its been a while anyway...
"Yeah... I know..."

Exa sat under a small tree that was located behind the house as he waited for DJ. He was now currently wearing a red hoodie and grey jeans along with a pair of brown sneakers.
The young boy closed his red eyes as he lean gainst the the tree. He listened to the rustling of the leaves as the wind blew a soft breeze.
His hand went up to his neck as he crest the red gem as thoughts fled trough his mind like a tsunami.
'Why can't I remember anything?' He thought as he opened his eyes to look at the blue sky.
He suddenly heard footsteps comming towards him. He looked down and saw DJ walking towards him with a book in her hand, her fluffly blue tail with a white tip swish left and right as she walk.
"Hello DJ" Exa greeted softly as DJ sat in front of him.
Yesterday DJ had explained to him that the name 'Diamond' can only be called by the person she trust. And so far she is still warry of him so he was only allowed to call her DJ, her codename, until she says otherwise.
As DJ sat in front of him, she handed him a slightly thick book with a brown leather cover and motion for him to open the page that has a yellow book mark.
Exa took the book and opened said page. There, he could see notes and drawings about a clear crystalike gem with various shapes and sizes.
Uncorrupted Gem
A clear crystalike gem that is used to hold the powers of humans who had powers that could hurt themselves or others. Usually used by half-breeds or cursed ones.
The gem are sometimes used to help young humans to control said powers until they have matured enough or if the power they held are too powerfull.
Once the user wears the gem, it will turn into the colour that represents said power. And thus calling it a Corrupted Gem.
To identify if the gem is a Corrupted Gem, the gem will let out a soft glow if looken closely or in the dark, or if taken off, the gem will immediately reverted back to its clear like colour.
Exa stoped reading and turn to look at the necklace that DJ wore. It has a diamond like shape and that it was purple. If looked closely, he could see the gem emitting a small glow.
"Wait... so you're saying that..."
*nods*
"And that you are a...."
*nods*
Exa's hand went up to touch the red gem that hangs from the thin black choker.
"Do you... do you know what power do I have?" He asked nervously as he looked at the wolf girl in front of him.
DJ eyed him for a second before shooking her head as a no.
"But... I want to take you somewhere..." DJ then explained to him that they were going to a small city where her friends lived and that they might be able to help him find out what his powers were and maybe help him with his memory loss.
"The base is located near a port in a plain biome village. It would take us about two days if we travel there by horse." DJ said as she got up while she dusted off some loose grass from her shorts.
"We will leave once your wounds are healed... for now, were heading to the market to buy some stuff" she explained as she motion for him to get up.
The two humans walk in silence as they headed their way towards the market. Exa could see a few villagers here and there along with a few children. Speaking of children...
A group of four were running towards them while shouting the wolf girl's name.
The two stopped as the group stood in front of them while looking at Exa with curiosity.
"Diamond, is this the mystery girl that they found?" One of them asked, a little girl to be specific.
The two teenagers looked at them with surprise.
'She isn't wrong though... Exa DOES have a very pretty and feminine face...' DJ thought as she rustle the little girl's head, in which earned her a giggle. Meanwhile Exa blushed in embarrassment from the comment.
"...I'm actually a boy..." Exa said with a small awkward laugh.
The four stared at him with shock until one of them shouted.
"SEE! I TOLD YOU THEY WERE A BOY!" One of them exclaim.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW?! HE LOOKS TOO PRETTY TO BE A BOY!" The girl argued with a pout.
The two were about to pounce on each other but were restrain by the other two children.
"Bye Diamond! Bye new pretty boy! See you next time!" The two said at the same time as they dragged their arguing friends away from them.
The two humans could only watched the scene with a sweatdrop.
They continued their walk to the market in silence. Once they reached the market, they could see it was already busy from the amount of villagers and humans at the street.
After buying the items for their journey such as food, potions, weapons and clothing for Exa, DJ took him to a small farm where he could see a few farm animals running around.
"What are we doing here?" Exa asked as they stopped in front of a pen.
Inside of the pen, he could see a pair of horses standing there, one of them has a pure white coat while the other has a brown and white coat. The two horses seemed to have already been tamed from the looks of the sadle on their back.
"To check on them... making sure they're healthy." she simply explain as she petted the neck of the white horse.
The other horse came up to him and tilt its head in curiosity. Exa hesitantly put a hand in front of him near the horse's head. The horse stared at it for a few second before pushing it's head against his hand.
"She trust you..." DJ said as she watch the whole exchange. Exa smiled and continue to pet the horse's head.
"Your fur is dirty, Carrot Cake! Now I have to bathe you all over gain!" A boy with brown hair and blue eyes exclaim at him with a angry pout.
Exa quickly windraw his hand as he stared at the horse with shock. He then stared at his hand and tried to relax his breath. Once he was relaxed, he turn to DJ with curiosity.
"What are their names?" He asked as he watches her pet the white horse.
"Hm? Well... this one is named Iron. and that one..." she turn to look at the other horse and petted her head.
"...Is named Carrot Cake..."
