Lapis, the Mirror Gem.

The Ocean Witch.

Crest of the Sea.

She'd been trapped for thousands of years, marks of time and isolation worn deep between the fractal light of her form. It took upon her the seamless record of vengeance, dark and blistering as, even with the decades, the centuries, that she'd been trapped, she was still a force, a thunderous one, to be reckoned with. All that was on her mind was her return to the place of her construction, the nest of dark stone and all the same, blinding light, that had beckoned here so many thousands of years ago.

She'd had her fill of Earth, the filthy rock having contained her long enough.

All that she had to do...was find a way back. At first, it seemed hopeless, her fragmented, shaken form no match for the momentous task at hand. There wasn't enough water in the galaxy to push her out far enough, she knew...but that didn't stop her from trying. Yet still, even when she'd siphoned every last drop from the surface of that worthless planet, she shouldn't have been surprised that it wasn't even close, not even remotely.

But still...she was heartbroken.

Completely and utterly heartbroken.

Just when she'd thought that she'd have to resign herself to another eternity on that world, there was a boy, a half-gem, that shouldn't have helped her at all, if she could be frank. He was...kinder than she deserved, more loving than she deserved, and though knew for certain that he couldn't understand everything that she'd suffered...he didn't need to.

It was enough to have just one voice, one comfort, in a world that felt utterly against you.

And it was this same boy that would grant her salvation in the form of a kiss.

A kiss that healed her gem and gave back just a little of what she'd lost.

The power to fly and it was that power that, at least for now, may have been the start of healing her broken heart.

At least...that was what she thought.

A quick concept page of some Lapis sketches I had for her redesign (or more appropriately, her fandesign; this is just what I cooked up real quick). This was released from my Patreon as a little teaser of what is there (which isn't much, but I really just wanted to release this ^^)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this rough piece; will likely put out something more concrete in terms of references down the line.
