Planet Lysithea, distinguishable from space by its swirling turquoise atmosphere, is a breathtaking world marked by its radiant, crystal aurora skies. The planet, slightly smaller than Earth, hosts an atmosphere rich in silicate particles that scatter blue and green light, creating a permanent luminous glow. This unique atmospheric composition, coupled with intense magnetic fields, gives rise to magnificent northern and southern lights that illuminate the planet in a spectrum of emerald and sapphire hues. The surface of Lysithea is rugged and largely barren, punctuated by vast fields of crystalline formations. These natural structures shimmer under the auroral glow, creating landscapes akin to sprawling, frozen oceans of light. Temperature fluctuations are extreme, given the thin atmosphere, ranging from blistering daylight highs to frigid nocturnal lows. Despite its harsh conditions, the planet’s hypnotic beauty from both space and its surface presents a scenic tableau of celestial artistry.

Planet Virelia, observed from space, appears as a swirling orb of deep violet and indigo hues, its atmosphere thick with silicate particles that scatter blue light. Beneath this shimmering veil, the surface is dominated by expansive caverns composed primarily of amethyst and quartz, giving the planet its distinctive purple glow. The caverns themselves are a labyrinth of crystal formations, ranging from delicate spires to massive stalactites, all radiating under the faint luminosity of bioluminescent bacteria embedded in the rock. These bacteria emit a soft, violet light, enabling a surreal exploration of the underground landscape. The air within is dense and humid, charged with ionic particles that create an almost palpable tension. Surface conditions are harsh and erratic, marked by sudden silicon storms that can alter the topography within hours. These storms, alongside the brittle nature of the crystal structures, suggest a dynamically evolving planet, both beautiful and formidable in its constant state of flux. Virelia remains a gem in the cosmos, a captivating anomaly of geological and biological interactions.

“WOAH--! Goodness, w-what are you doing?” The Pink Pearl squeaked as soon as she’d been picked up bridal style by another Gem. Blush’s eyes sparkled as she noticed the other was another Pearl, and she was stunning. She’d been performing one of her duties, not realizing someone else had entered the room. Her cheeks flushed a deeper pink, “W... why are you here?”
