"Your diamond awaits you."

A once beautiful and elegant stone door has been left, unopened by anyone in centuries, covered in seaweed, algae, and inferior organisms has been opened, at last, revealing a shiny white centered crystal with five smaller crystals around it.

"Uhm...Aren't you coming with me?" George asked nervously.

"No of course not, I never said I would help you." Sam said.
"I only agreed to help you open the door."

"This is for your brother!" George shouted.

"Clearly you know nothing about diamonds." Sam said, softly chuckling afterwards.
"He'll be fine, I'm sure a stab or bite wound from a siren wouldn't do much." Sam said
"Maybe if he were impaled that'll definitely do damage, but that's highly unlikely."

"Can you at the very least tell me how it works?"George asked

"I'm sorry but I cannot assist you much, however I do remember that the diamonds will start flashing once you've done something...good I suppose." Sam said.

"A puzzle? My favorite." George grumbled, sarcastically.
"Then it must be some type of code."

"I'd assume so." Sam said.
"I must take my leave before servants find out my sudden absence." Sam said.

"Of course." George said
"Also as soon as this barrier open I'd like you to release the half green and half orange tailed boy from the prison cells.

"I'll notify the guards." Sam said.
"Do get Zak home quickly, wouldn't want mother to be deranged without her perfect masterpiece."

"Are you jealous?" George asked out of curiosity.

"No not at all." Sam said
"I may be the elder sibling (I think) but he is more capable than I'll ever be since birth, I am measly just a amethyst, a quartz, I'll never compare to a diamond." Sam said.

"Damn that's rough." George thought.

"Just get Zak home safely with very minimal injuries please." Sam said

"I will." George said.

"Thank you." Sam said as she took her leave

"Wish she gave me more clues..." George mumbled as he saw the all magnificent blue crystals.
"Hopefully it isn't operated to be alarmed if I get the wrong combination." George thought as he swam into the room.

"My Queen, the guards are searching for him, they will bring him back."

"I know he'll come back." The Queen said sitting on her throne
"He doesn't have a choice, but it won't be king until he breaks."

"You don't mean..."

"I do. Without my help, Zak's emotions will be too much for him. There's a downside about being a diamond." Zak's mother said
"The curse placed upon 400 years ago..."
