Freedom or Anarchy? Part 1 of 2 (hopefully)
You guys wanted this you better read it cw: there’s some swears, and allusion to sleep drugs
The air was so crisp, the so grass vibrant, the sun was warm on your skin as you took in the scenery before you. The crystal blue of Starfell lake was gorgeous, and the fish were flipping about in the water; even the squirrels and Crains seemed at peace. Despite this lovely picture you were panicking.
“Heh, POV got sucked into your favorite video game and you don’t know if you’ll ever get home.” you shrug. “Guess I’ll die!” You walk over to a tree and pull on a branch. “I suppose that I should try to defend myself.”
As you say that three pyro slimes appear and chase you down the hill towards Venti’s Statue. “Hehehe, Why are you running? Why are you running?” You walk up to the statue and touch it, but nothing happens. “Wow! Honestly, I thought as a bard you would understand the mentality of “I F’ed my way into this mess, and I’ll F my way out”. Not gonna give me a vision, a shitty knock off of your power, a sword?” As you sat yelling at a lifeless statue (a/n: WTF WERE YOU THINKING? THAT IT WOULD TALK BACK?!) you heard something coming towards you. You looked to the sky and saw Dvalin flying straight toward you. “Oh shit…” You say as storm terror land next to you and rawrs in your face. “Haha, I’m in danger.” He brings his face towards you and you begin to shake in fear. “Mr. Stark I don’t feel so good.” You whisper to yourself as tears of fear and regret stream down your face.
Dvalin inches closer and you close your eyes only to feel something cold and wet on your face. You open your eyes only to close them again as Dvalin licks you. “Ew! Slobber!” He whimpered. You hold your hand out to pet the poor baby. “Oh it’s okay. Just let me clean up first.” You wipe off your face and go back to Dvalin. You go to pet him and a beautiful light shines from your fingers and flows through his fur.
“Dvalin!” Someone called to him and he picked you with his tail and curled it around you so you’d be hidden and sage as he took to the sky.
“Wait! Wasn’t that Venti? Don’t you like him?” He took to the sky and bounced you around unintentionally.
After about 20 minutes you were finally released and found yourself in stormterrors lair. “What have you brought back?” A distorted voice echoed as a cryo abyss mage entered.
“She is the special. She can heal me.” Dvalin responded. (A/n: do you guys remember that? Dvalin spoke)
“You fool! Only the abyss Order can save you!”
As the two fight you try to sneak away but you step on a twig and they look at you. Dvalin quickly pulls you by your hoodie back to his side. “I agreed to help you because the Archons abandoned me as they’ve abandoned you. I still will but it doesn’t seem like you all have found a way to cure me. I need to be at full strength to fight for you.”
“Dvalin? I thought you liked Venti.”
“Venti, is that what the barn calls himself now? I used to, I know that he cares for me but he didn’t ever try to help me. I have suffered for 500 years and he now shows his face. Khaenri’ah was destroyed simply because they chose to forsake the Archons. Why should we care for them?”
You looked down, not knowing what to say. “How am I supposed to help?” You finally said.
“You can heal me.”
“But if I do, you’ll hurt the innocent people of Mondstadt. Listen, the Tsarista is plotting a rebellion against Celestia. Celestia’s the real villain here.”
“Even so the Archons still chose to destroy Khaenri’ah.”
“Then take it up with them, please. Those people have nothing to do with it. I’ll help you in anyway I can but please for their sake don’t hurt them. If not for them then for me.”
“If it’s what the adored one desires then I shall deliver it unto you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” You asked suspiciously.
“Funny. Now heal him if you REALLY can!” The abyss mage, snarked from the corner. You climbed on top of Dvalin and put your hands on his horn. White light erupted and Dvalin’s head fell to the ground as he’d passed out. You fell off and the abyss mage ran out of the room screaming about how the day of reckoning was upon them or something. You fell asleep nuzzled into Dvalin’s side and dreamt of lots of yummy food.
When you woke up you found a pyro abyss mage, and hydro abyss mage cooking some kind of fowl meat. Over a makeshift campfire. The pyro abyss mage brings it over to your and the hydro abyss mage hands you the food and some water. “Is this clean?” You ask the two and they nod. You take the food and water and start to eat. “Thanks.” You say after you’re finished.
“Dvalin. Do you want to head out somewhere?”
“Where would you like to go, Adored one?”
“Would you hate me if I said Dragonspine?”
“If that’s what you wish.” He picks you up and flies you over there.
You direct him to a cave in the side of the mountain.
“Honey! I’m home!” You say as you saunter into the cave. “Albedo? I guess he’s not here.” You say as you turn to leave.
“Incredible. Stormterror sitting right outside of my Laboratory.” He only roars at the blonde.
“Sir Albedo?” You inquire as you step out of his lab. You pet Dvalin to put him at ease.
“Hello, may I help you?”
“Sorry I don’t mean to snoop in your lab, I was just wondering if you were here. I have a bit of a conundrum.”
“You wish to go home.”
“How did you-”
“How did I know?” He cuts you off. “I’ll explain in due time. Please step into my laboratory, I’ll get you some tea. Word of advice though, it can get kinda cold out here so you might want to send Stormterror away before he gets cold.”
Dvalin growled. “I’ll be fine. You can come get me later tonight okay?” He nodded and flew off. It was about noon so you figured that you had a while before the twins would steal the harp and try to take down Dvalin.
“How did you manage to tame him?” Albedo asked, as you sat on a stool near a campfire.
“I healed him somehow.”
“So Gold’s stories were true.”
“Rhinedottir knows about this?”
“Yes, she’s the one who told me. Someone would come down from Celestia and they’d tame the beasts of Teyvat as well as the members of the Abyss Order.” He hands you the Tea and you drink it.
“I still don’t understand how you knew I’m not from here.”
“I just told you Gold told me you’re from Celestia. Unless of course, you aren’t.”
“Dvalin referred to me as the Adored One. Do you know what that means?”
“Adored throughout Teyvat and the realm above. You are the honored one no?”
“I don’t… what…?” You started to get lightheaded. “Albedo?” You sloshed as you fell off your seat.
“I’m sorry Adored One, but I have to put Klee first. Now that you’ve heeled Stormterror you’re a threat to the people of Mondstadt. I’m going to hand you over to the knights for terrorism and endangering the public.”
