"Do you actually want me to answer this?" The male glared.

Silence.

Archons, he couldn't believe this. Wait...Ah, who cares? "No, I've never been the type to stargaze, why?"

Taking another long drag, you let the smoke escape your nostrils. "Because obviously the stars have been moving closer to us than ever before.."

The man didn't know what to say. It reminded him of that strange question you kept asking him lately.

"Don't you feel like Teyvat's sky is getting closer to us? Huh? I mean the stars.."

He never thought too deeply about it though he did find it odd. Yet he had decided to leave it at that and not dig any further. You had your reasons.

"I think that it's been awhile since they've crashed but, it's only a matter of time until they reach the city of freedom."

"How can you be so sure of that?" Jiangxi wasn't sure he was following you. "Let me guess..your intuition?" He couldn't help but laugh a little.

You took one last drag before putting out the cigarette and giving him a sinister look.

Although his smart remark made you roll your eyes, you shook your head. "Maybe...but it's something more important."

"Like what?" The man leaned back in his chair, listening closely.

"My gnosis."

"What about it?"

"My gnosis resonated with Celestia a few months ago and it's been 2000 fucking years since it did something like that." Ever since you had emerged victorious from the Archon war, your gnosis had resonated with the floating island you had always despised so ardently. Yet that same isle you hated so much had decided that you'd become one of the Archons, the one of Abundance. More like the Heavenly Principles did. But you had refused.

The reason this whole situation engrossed you was because your gnosis was not originally from this world and neither were you. So why would it resonate with the legendary archipelago?

Breathing out heavily, you felt exhausted. "For all I know, things are about to become very interesting, you know?" Whoever's arrival you felt would sooner or later show themselves in Mondstadt and you were more than ready to accompany them in whatever they had planned.

You let out another long sigh. Finally you gave him a rather troubled glance.

"That is also where our ways part, if you wish to do so." you said in a lower tone, hoping he hadn't heard it. "After all, Mondstadt is the nation of freedom and I believe that now would be the right time to give you back your own. Every encounter is bound lead to a separation and I no longer have interest in  keeping something that is not mine. You're free to leave."

What?

Jiangxi sat there dumbfounded. He must have misunderstood something. You were letting him go willingly? Setting him aside like some rag...Of course, he was too proud to admit it, but he had somehow grown attached to you. To the point where he felt like you've always been a part of his never ending life. Who could blame him? Whether he liked it or not, spending multiple millennia writing about an individual's life would leave some sort of mark on him.
