End of the Beginning~Ateez
Eons ago
Aftermath of the battle
"I refuse to side with Celestia or Abyss! I will side with the humans and the vision wielders." I yelled.
"We are sorry." Tsaritsa apologizes.
"The abyss never was meant to rule." Aether realized.
"Indeed, the gods also shall not have authority over Teyvat." Replied Pierro.
"We no longer wish for dominion, from now on our only shared goal is to protect our people." Admits Zhongli.
"I want to go home, for real this time." I whispered.
This is it, the end of my journey across Teyvat.
Dainsleif and Aether waited patiently for me in front of the portal among the sea of cecilias.
"I really have to go." I sniffed.
"We understand." Replied the 7 archons.
Zhongli and Venti had tears cornering their eyes.
Ei was crying too. Tsaritsa looked away and cried only a little.
The people and archons from the 7 nations wanted to give us their gifts before we left.
Xiao suddenly walked up to me, "I'm leaving with you." He declares.
"Me too!" Replied Itto determinedly.
"Me three." Replied Childe.
"Me four." Replied Baizhu, walking forward.
Shocked gasps and murmurs among the 7 nations' people and even the two archons.
"You're leaving Teyvat too, Xiao?" Asked Venti, sad.
"Yeah, where she goes, I follow." Replied the Adeptus.
"Zhe yang ye hao 这样也好。 ("That would be great too" in Mandarin)," replied Zhongli, "it's best you take one of us with you across your future travels." Nodded Zhongli.
"Thank you, my lord, may we meet again." Replied Xiao as he bowed to Zhongli and took my hand.
Venti was sobbing uncontrollably and Zhongli had to hold him for a bit.
Childe was sobbing too.
Amber, Jean, and Diluc were sniffing a little too.
Scaramouche and Kazuha had tears cornering their eyes as they placed their gifts.
"We're coming with you guys too." Scara and Kazuha say.
Beidou placed a small jar of wine in front of us.
"Hope we meet you in your future travels." She laughed before sniffing a little.
Razor, Bennett, and Fischl placed their gifts as well.
"For you to keep warm." Replied Razor as he dropped a coat made out of shedded wolf fur.
Bennett and Fischl gave us a small crystal.
Baizhu and Qiqi gave us some traveling herbs.
Zhongli gave us an ancient Liyue treasure.
Venti gifted us a figure of Dvalin.
Keqing gifted us 2 figures of Rex Lapis.
Tsaritsa gifted an ice-themed tiara, "Dottore helped pick the color." She whispered with a small smile.
Childe gave us a pouch of mora and as I opened a box, to found a beautiful necklace.
"It's the jewel of the sea." Replied Childe.
Xiao raised an eyebrow at Childe.
"Thank you," I sniffed.
Jean nodded as Diluc carried a box towards us.
I opened it to find a pair of armor gloves from Monstadt.
"Thank you,." I replied as I tried them on.
Lisa gave us a huge book. "The amulet inside this book is all yours, take good care of it and use it for your travels." She replied.
It was a pop-up book of Teyvat.
Ningguang brought over a small model of the floating jade palace.
"Also, keep that teapot of yours, you can keep all our gifts there." Suggested Madame Ping.
"Oh yeah, a place to store all these gifts." I chuckled through the small tears.
"Yes." Smiled Yanfei as she handed me a law book.
"Here you go!" Goes Hutao, laughing, as she hands me a silver cross earring.
Chongyun and Xiangling placed some ingredients in my teapot kitchen while Xingqiu gave us some books from Liyue.
Xinyan gave me a guitar and a wooden piano she and Xingqiu crafted.
Murata gifted me a five-star war spear and shield.
Nahida gifted us a journal and Sumeru Academy books.
Kokomi gifted us a pearl jewel set, and Gorou gifted us a Shiba dog.
Sara and Yae gifted us an electro thunderbird figurine and a feather jewelry set, a kitsune figurine.
"You! Oni boy! Take care of the traveler!" Ordered Sara as she stared at Itto.
"Yes I will." Replied Itto.
Ei gifted us a beautiful royal tea set from Inazuma and an electro-samurai sword.
Furina gave a libra constellation-themed scale.
Lyney and Lynette gave a small magician game set.
Neuvillete gave us a fake mermaid tail that can also be worn for swimming.
Paimon almost laughed.
Ilsan gave us some ankle bracelets.
They began placing the gifts inside my teapot one by one with some help from Xiao and Aether.
By the time it was close to the evening, only Zhongli, Venti, Childe, and other archons remained.
I hugged them one last time.
I waved as they left, leaving Dainsleif, Aether, Xiao, and me alone.
"Wait, Can I stay with you too?!" Asked a small voice.
I looked around to find Paimon, sniffing quietly at the back.
"Sure, if you want." I replied.
The fairy happily flew around and landed on my shoulder, "Dainsleif and I can shrink our sizes to make your traveling easier." She giggles.
"I think I'm good." Replied Dainsleif awkwardly.
"Y/N, wait." Whispered another voice.
Xiao turned around and stared intensely at the figure.
"Zandik?!" I asked, shocked.
The floating wisp that wore a Fatui mask shapeshifted in front of us.
Dottore gave me the same blue liquid earring he wore.
"I will find you again someday, don't forget me." His phantom form briefly shimmered as he disappeared into an icy mist.
Dainsleif stood next to Aether in surprise.
"Huh..." Paimon began.
"Are you guys ready?" Asked Aether, about to step through the portal.
"We're ready." I nod, wiping my tears.
I clutched the teapot necklace I wore.
"Alright, here we go." Replied Aether as he stepped through the portal first.
Paimon and I went next, and then Xiao, Childe, Itto, Kazuha, Scara, and Dainsleif followed.
