[Old Art]

Optional Story:
Somewhere, on a faraway world, an insect-like creature picks up a jewel. Not fully knowing what to make of the thing, it startles him momentarily as it exclaims, "keep me!" Happy to oblige the strange "creature," he carries it with him back to his home.

Dunno, I was digging through my old stuff and found this just sitting in a file. It's cool so I'm posting it.

To be honest, there's a part of me that feels like this could just be made into its own story.

Fun Fact: Jewels can be sentient on other planets.
