	"Nnnnh.", Rarity mumbled as she woke up. "Well, this is certainly the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. Though I suppose I should be thankful that whoever owns this place was kind enough to lend me a bed."

"I apologize if you did not have a restful slumber.", Master Diamond said. "I broke the last bed because I forgot to take off my armor."

"Quite alright darling.", Rarity said with a smile. "You're quite the gracious host. But, might I ask what I'm doing here?"

"For the moment, you are confined to this zone. As am I."

"Is there any way to get out of this 'zone'?", Rarity asked hopefully.

"There is. But I'm afraid the cost is quite high."

"Diamond. If there's something I can do to help free you, I'll gladly help."

Master Diamond sighed. "It requires you to give up an item of great sentimental value." Rarity was silent. The only item that covered that criteria, was the necklace Inferno gave to her. It was more than just a lovely piece of jewelry. It was the representation of how she lit his heart ablaze, and how he had given his heart to her. But could she really be that selfish? Was her happiness really more important than helping Master Diamond? Rarity sighed as she came to her decision.

"Here Diamond. My darling Inferno gave me this necklace as a sign of his love for me. It's my greatest treasure, but if it can send you home I gladly give it up. Please. Take it." Rarity had a sad smile as she handed Master Diamond the necklace. Soon, she heard sniffling coming from Master Diamond.

"M-my lady...I must apologize for my deception! It was all a test! And you have passed flawlessly! I-I'm so proud!" Master Diamond wiped away the tears spilling from his faceplate slits. "And it is now my honor to bestow this weapon upon you." Master Diamond reached for his sword and handed it over to Rarity. "Don't worry. I can always forge another. Use it well. Farewell my lady!" Master Diamond vanished in a flash of light. Rarity smiled as she sheathed the new blade she had received.

"Thank you darling. I'm sure I can teach that ruffian Tirek a thing or two with this new sword." Soon, a portal opened and Rarity saw her friends and Inferno come through. "Ah, there you all are! Inferno darling, do you like my newest accessory?"

"You make something that heavy look so graceful. But then again, you can make anything work.", Inferno said with a grin under his helmet. 

"Ever the charmer.", Rarity said with a smile as she morphed. "Now let's head to the next portal!" It soon opened up. "Oh. Well that's convenient."
