    Summary

    Dvalin is not poisoned. The Anemo Archon fells Durin, and with his blessing, Mondstadt alone emerges from the cataclysm unbroken by the Abyss. But how? No scholar knows.

    500 years later, Xiao travels to Mondstadt to warn Barbatos of an Abyss Order plot—but there are questions, too, twisting in his heart. Among them: Why did you save me, that night in Dihua Marsh? Why haven’t you visited since then?

    And, because he knows all too well that power comes at a price: what did you pay to protect Mondstadt?

    (The God of Freedom has so few choices.)

    Summary

    “You're not winning this,” Aether gasps out as they deflect one another once more, each struggling to gain ground on the other, blades locked.

    “You're wrong,” Ajax hisses. To Aether’s horror, his spear separates as Ajax takes one end, leaving him with two weapons. Aether tries to step back, but Ajax kicks out his left knee, forcing him to maintain the parry.

    Ajax drives the weapon forwards towards his gut, Aether narrowly managing to harness Anemo to block the blow, holding the pointed end of the blade inches away from his chest. Aether pants, chest heaving, heart pounding in his rib cage.

    “Not bad, Aether. Your swordsmanship was quite impressive. But, that's about as far as you'll get.” With a final thrust of Ajax’s sword Aether thought it was over for him. The end. He had failed.

    Aether squeezes his eyes shut. 'Forgive me Lumine…'

    OR

    Ajax never managed to escape the Abyss without the guidance of a now dead Skirk, and now, Ajax is the only one who knows where Aether’s sister is

    OR

    Aren't you tired of Aether being nice? Don't you just want to see him go ape shit?

    Summary

    Lumine wants to save this world, in her own twisted way. Aether? He’d burn it down without a care.

    ---
