❝ aether you fucking douche ❞

- lumine

//

it was dark in inazuma. you were alone. you were supposed to be safe, heavily guarded in the inn you were staying at for the time being.

come midnight, you were awake when a portal opened up from behind and an abyss herald snatched you from behind.

in the ruins underneath the chasm, was aether. you had only seen him make an appearance in game twice, and only once did you interact.

could he tell who you really were?

the herald placed you down with ease, and you dusted yourself off before facing aether.

kneeling down, then raising his head again to make eye contact he claimed,

❝ this may be sudden, but the sooner i request this, the better. my people have suffered from the heavenly principle's curse for too long now, an unjust punishment from the gods. ❞

❝ my only ask from you is to rid them of their curse. surely you can, you are the being above all beings. ❞

you would've loved to, really. except you didn't know how.

❝ currently, i have no power or way or restoring them to how they were, aether. i have nothing else to say to you. ❞

the fury that showed upon his face was indescribable.

❝ I HAVE SEARCHED FOR CENTURIES TRYING TO FIND SOME SORT OF CURE TO THIS CURSE, ❞, he approached you aggressively, coming too close for comfort.

❝ I SWORE THAT I'D BURN THE SHACKLES THEY PLACED APON US. ❞

and now you telling me that not even the creator cannot help us? what kind of creator are you?

he snapped. over the centuries he had started to lose faith, and you were his last thread of hope, the cleansing device had already proved itself to be nothing but a failure.

❝ my apologies for that outburst. you'll never have to hear from me again, your excellency ❞ , he bowed before disappearing through a portal identical to that of the 'we will be reunited' quest.

//

a flash of indigo and violet stars, and the opening of a portal, and through came the raiden shogun, weapon in hand.

❝ i see that you you are safe then, your eloquence? our sincerest apologies, this was to never happen in the first. ❞, she announced, stoic as ever, as she went on one knee; out of respect and courtesy.

❝ it is our fault that this has occurred, may you punish us as you wish. ❞

❝ i'm fine, nothing happened, it was just a minor causality. nothing to fret on. ❞ you assured the shogun. internally, you weren't sure how to feel about the encounter.

the abyss twin hadn't shown up in the quests often. your information and knowledge of them was scarce and limited.

❝ allow me to escort you back to inazuma, your excellency. ❞

//

you approached the traveller, anxious to tell them about the event that took place, you didn't know exactly how you were supposed to tell her.

❝ lumine. ❞

❝ yes your excellency? ❞

❝ ... i had an encounter with your brother. more or less, i was abducted by the abyss for a few hours. i'm fine, but i have some things to tell. ❞

❝ yes, your excellency? ❞

❝ your aether asked me to remove the curse set on 'khaenri'ah'. ultimately, i believe he has good intentions, he wants the nation to thrive again. but for one; i don't know how to remove the curse, and i'm not sure how to go about this. ❞

completely forgetting the fact she wasn't supposed to curse in front of their divinity, she starting swearing like a drunk sailor.

❝ shit fuck what the fuck aether you fucking douche fuck the unknown god i'll fucking stab your parents you little fucking shit aether you better square the fuck up before i make you catch these hands you fucking shithole i could kill everyone in teyvat but it would still not measure up to the audacity that you have i swear aether i will make you regret the day you were born- ❞

she started stomping her foot and swearing, turning the other way to start screaming at the wall, and you took that as a sign to leave.
