"Please be careful~"
"You don't want to fall off into the abyss below, hm?" He said with a gentle smile,
Aether, Paimon and Yan Hao, walked across the bridge,
After, introducing of what Yan Hao actually is, they couldn't believe it,
I mean, they're not wrong, why would a child-like and not-so-useful thing became an Adeptus?
Ahem..
The world of the domain was much different than the other ones,
It looks more like Liyue itself but, with more fucking hills, cliffs, and mountains,
It looks real by any other comparison, and looks beautiful at the same time,
The birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming..
Days like these, kids like you-
No
(I should stop, yeah.. I should)
Ahem,
As they crossed over the bridge, they've arrived at a huge old shrine
But even so, it's still standing without a problem,
The scenery is beautiful as they turned around,
Mountains that goes up to the clouds, with some of them having a waterfall that goes down to the abyss,
The animals are minding their on business,
Buildings were onto the mountains like vines, there's many wooden houses, and water mills across,
Making the scenery a lot more beautiful,
There's a faint music; a flute that can be heared in this place...
"Wow... It's so beautiful!" Said Paimon in awe,
Yan Hao chuckled, "Right~?"
"Yeah!" Paimon nods,
Yan Hao's ego came up high with Paimon's compliments,
Of course, he had spent many years doing nothing in the past, so he spent most of the time; rebuilding his own world,
"Alright, it's time to prove you, I'm a true adeptus!" He clapped his hands,
"Rather than giving a boring explanation"
"How about I challenge you to a duel, dear traveler?"
He lends out his hand to Aether, as if inviting him to something,
"I'm very interested with what you're capable of in a fight.."
"So?"
Aether was hesitant for a while, but he nodded,
"Alright, fight me then"
"What a good answer.."
He smiled by his reponse of course,
And he isn't going to hold back on Aether,
"If you're so willing to this, I won't hold back, you know~"
He smirked, "So, fight me with all your might, hm?"
As those words comes out of his mouth, he turned into a mist; fading away into nothing,
The sky turned dark and chains starts to come out from the ground,
Black feathers starts falling down slowly, thunders strikes down to the ground afar,
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" Yan Hao's voice can be heared,
"Paimon, it's a going to be dangerous for you here"
"So please, hide somewhere safe"
As he said that, Paimon was instantly caged and hanged to the endless chain coming from the sky,
"Hey! Don't cage Paimon like this!" She pouts,
"Please forgive me for the inconvenience, but you'll get yourself hurt, you know~" He giggled,
Aether prepared himself, as he waits for Yan Hao to strike,
"I'm right over here!"
"..!"
Just like what he thought, Yan Hao striked at him first,
He appeared behind Aether from the mist that's covering the whole place,
As he was about to punch at him, Aether blocks it with a rock that came out from the ground,
The rock was destroyed immediately as he was launched away from Yan Hao because of the impact,
He stood up,
"Huh.."
"I thought you don't have a vision.. Weird.." Yan Hao mumbled,
"Oh well" He shrugs,
He created a whip from the mist, and started attacking Aether with it,
It was hard to dodge the attacks properly, so he tried his best to avoid it,
As Yan Hao gets closer, he changed the whip to a sword; striking him with high speed,
Aether managed to block it on time,
He continued attacking Aether without a break at all, as he continued to block and dodge it,
He once again, changed the sword into spear; making it harder to dodge,
As this continues on, Aether managed to counter the attacks by using his Anemo power,
Yan Hao was backed away because of it,
"Oh my.."
"2 visions at once?"
"Fufu, this is getting interesting!" He smirked,
"I'll show you, what an adeptus can do!"
Yan Hao created a black feather and released it,
The feather copied it self as all of it surrounds him,
Once all of the feathers touched the ground, it starts to cover him fully,
And then, it all dispersed; fading away to reveal him with a different form and feel to it,
He wore an ancient, traditional outfit, a pair of horns that resembles a demon, a pair of gauntlets and so on,
Everything was completely different about it,
"Get ready, I'm not going to easy on you anymore!" He said as he points at Aether,
"Give me all you've got, Aether!"
Aether looked at him with a determination in his eyes,
Yan Hao pulls out a sword and striked right down to the ground,
Red cracks stars to come out from it,
It starts to make huge holes one by one from the cracks,
And so, all of it was consumed, falling to the dark abyss below the clouds can reach,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Aether opens his eyes to see that he's in a different place,
Unlike any, this was filled with mist, but he can still see things clearly,
Abnormally high rocks that goes to infinity surrounds the empty vast stone-land,
There's purple cracks and chains surrounding the land too,
"H-Hey! Are you alright?" He heard a familiar voice,
It was Paimon who was released from the cage,
He stood up, trying to keep himseld steady,
"I'm alright.."
"Good! Paimon's glad that you're okay!"
She looks around not seeing Yan Hao,
But then, he falls down from the sky, and landed superhero-style on the ground,
He stood up; ready to fight Aether,
Black feathers around him transformed into swords,
"I'll defeat you, no matter what!" He said pointing to Aether,
And so, the fight between a traveller and his companion with an Adeptus; begins!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile...
"Achoo!" Atlas sneezed,
Sfx: Someone sneezing, I don't know..
"What's wrong? Are you sick again?" Baizhu asked,
"No, I'm good" He replied back,
