In a distant future, humanity's descendants reside in a small community of sexless crystalline beings, facing an impending invasion from the Moon. Two hundred years after a failed assault on the Lustrous, Phosphophyllite is reconstructed and endeavors to persuade Kongo to pray for the Lunarians. This endeavor appears poised for success, leading the Lunarians to prepare for their departure into non-existence, while the moon's gemstones await their abandonment. Amidst this turmoil, Euclase is awakened by the commotion between Phos and Kongo.

The Lustrous, a celestial entity, had long been a source of fascination and curiosity for the inhabitants of Earth. It shone with an otherworldly brilliance, captivating the hearts and minds of those who gazed upon it. However, the Lustrous was not just a celestial spectacle; it held a secret that would change the course of human history forever.

Two hundred years ago, a group of scientists and explorers embarked on a mission to study the Lustrous. They believed that the Lustrous possessed the power to grant eternal life and immortality to those who prayed to it. Driven by their ambition and desire for power, they launched an attack on the Lustrous, hoping to harness its divine energy for their own purposes.

The attack was a failure, and the scientists and explorers were defeated. The Lustrous unleashed its wrath upon them, destroying their ships and killing many of their crew. However, a few survivors managed to escape, carrying with them the knowledge of the Lustrous's power.

Over the years, the survivors of the attack kept their secret hidden, fearing that others would seek to exploit the Lustrous's power for their own gain. They passed down the knowledge of the Lustrous through generations, hoping that one day, someone would be brave enough to seek it out and use it for the greater good.

And then, two hundred years later, Phosphophyllite emerged. He was a young man with a burning desire for power and knowledge. He had heard stories of the Lustrous and its divine power and knew that he had to seek it out. He embarked on a journey to the moon, where the Lustrous was said to reside, armed with only his wits and a small device that he had created.

As Phosphophyllite approached the moon, he felt a sense of awe and reverence. The moon was a desolate and barren wasteland, but it was also a place of mystery and wonder. He could sense the Lustrous's presence, calling out to him with an otherworldly voice.

Phosphophyllite approached the Lustrous and began to pray. He poured his heart and soul into his prayers, asking for its divine power and guidance. And then, something miraculous happened. The Lustrous responded to his prayers, granting him its power and wisdom.

Phosphophyllite became the first human to harness the power of the Lustrous. He used its power to heal the sick, to cure the dying, and to bring peace to the world. He became a legend, a hero, and a savior to those who had lost hope.

But as Phosphophyllite's power grew, so did his ambition. He began to see the Lustrous as a tool to be used for his own gain, rather than a force for good. He began to pray for more power, more knowledge, and more control.

And the Lustrous, sensing Phosphophyllite's growing darkness, began to resist him. It fought back against Phosphophyllite, using its divine power to weaken and destroy him. Phosphophyllite, realizing that he had gone too far, tried to turn back.

But it was too late. The Lustrous had unleashed its full wrath upon him, and Phosphophyllite was destroyed. His body was left on the moon, a reminder of the dangers of seeking power and knowledge without regard for the consequences.

The Lustrous, however, was not done with Phosphophyllite. It knew that he had learned his lesson and that he would not seek to exploit its power again. Instead, it chose to use its power to protect the world from those who would seek to harm it.

From that day forward, the Lustrous became a guardian of the world, watching over humanity and protecting it from the forces of darkness. It shone with an otherworldly brilliance, a symbol of hope and salvation for all who gazed upon it.

And as for Phosphophyllite, his legacy lived on. His story became a legend, a warning to those who would seek to exploit the power of the divine. His memory was honored and revered by those who knew him, and his spirit continued to guide and inspire those who sought to make the world a better place.
