Name: Zeus's Lightning
Gem sealed within it:
Fragmented Blue Diamond
Appearance: A simple earring with a rather small, seemingly polished and perfected fragment of a diamond at the center; the metallic body seems to be made of gold.
Sentient: No
History: Millenniums ago, during the beginnings of the Greek Empire, one particular set of gems were born. This gems, with their magical powers and superhuman capabilities, seemed like gods to the primitive humans that formed the smalls civilizations from the past. And true to their arrogant nature, this gems not only allowed them to adore them as gods; they encouraged them, Forced them, even. Contrary to the popular belief, the greek pantheon was very real. It just so happens that it wasn't made up of gods; it was made of Gems.
One of those Gems was dubbed by the humans as: Zeus, God of gods, and officially recognized as the most powerful of them all both by humans and 'gods' alike. With his ability to manipulate the Weather itself, the god of gods had the power to make Lightning itself strike at his beck and call, seemingly wherever he pleased. When combined with his massive, yet extremely fragile ego and extreme sense of entitlement, it didn't take long before this power started being abused for the pettiest of insults; and for the so called god to earn the scorn of his peers.
It is not known when, or how, for that matter, but he was stroke down and his gem ultimately destroyed; his power however, proved so great that even when destroyed, the fragments of his gem still held onto small parts of his massive power; this fragments were eventually taken far away from each other, and placed to the service of those who controlled their power.
Ability:
-Lightning Calling: The user has the power to send lightning from the sky that could be used to blind, stun, and/or severely burn their opponents even to the point of death they can range, from minor to fatal voltage. However, this power is scaled to the users own power; a weak gem can't hope to defeat a strong one simply using the power of this fragment.
Owner: No one.
