Heyyyy Jester. As always I hope you are just living your best life! I really Do. 😇
I don't know if this has been asked but seeing as the story leans into it I was wondering how the ROs would react if MC took a hit for them and got hurt.
Tho i feel like... you are gonna tell me I'm asking spoilers aren't you....👀
aww, hello!! i've lost my voice so i can't say i'm living my absolute best life (i'm a big talker lol), but i'm mostly good!!
i hope you and your family are well too :)!
after a little bit of consideration i've actually decided that i should be able to safely answer this, if i don't go into too much detail, so you're in luck ;)
An active battlefield. Not quite what you were used to but, of course, that's likely why the Queen had insisted on doing a simulation (something about everyone having to be prepared, you honestly couldn't pay too much attention as you were hustled out onto the palace grounds). It had been going well, you could dodge and parry and strike, then rinse and repeat, until one guard got slightly too close to hitting your charge and all you could do was throw your arm in the way of their blade...
---
A. Bellefleur;
It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't- There was blood. The blade had slice over your arm, opening a mostly superficial wound into it, though there was blood soaking into your sleeve. The guard was apologising profusely, you were ensuring them you were fine, there were no hard feelings...except. Except A. felt guilt, a burning in their chest that threatened to consume them. They knew it would come, they had felt it once before, as soon as they realised what had happened.
You don't see them again until their next meeting, and you can hear the scratch in their voice when they speak, as though they had been crying for a long, long time.
K. Valiev;
They're at your side in a second, hands hovering over your arm, not quite touching (as though they were afraid to touch you), worry creasing their features. The guard that had hit you, however, seemed petrified, his apology yelped out like a wounded animal's cry, before he scurried away from the two of you, pointedly avoiding your gaze.
They get you settled in the infirmary, and then disappear for a while. When they reappear it's like nothing has happened, they bring you food and drink, and watch over you carefully. You notice, however, that the guard who injured you refuses to approach you, and you could swear he looks afraid if you get too close...
A. Caras;
Their gripes echo over the sounds around you as they march over ("Are you stupid? This is a practice, I'm not supposed to get work during a practice!"), their bag of equipment thrown over their shoulder, having gone to collect it after you protected them. The guard apologises to both of you and scuttles off, and the fire in Caras' eyes turns on you. You don't dare move as they patch you up, disinfecting and wrapping your wound with a firmness that would have been a little frightening if you hadn't known for certain they were being careful not to hurt you.
You notice, being that close, that their hands are trembling ever so slightly as they work, and when they stand they make sure to get close enough so that only you can hear them.
"Don't ever do that again."
They don't sound like they're just being self-deprecating or protective this time.
T. Bellefleur;
It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't- There was blood. That whelp had dared to touch you, to injure you. Their claymore was at his throat in seconds, an almost cruel grin pulling at their lips.
"Aaaand you're dead, better luck next time, hey?"
You had never seen them so angry, their usual bored monotone becoming hard and threatening, mirroring the look in their eyes. It softened, ever so slightly, when they looked at you, but the majority of it morphed into shame.
You don't see them for the rest of the week.
M. Serrel;
You don't see them during the rest of the battle, and you don't see them until Caras has left you alone in the infirmary that evening, at which point they seem to just sort of...appear.
"Now, Dove, what did you go and do that for? You know I can take care of myself."
They are chiding you light-heartedly, but there is something sad in their expression, behind their eyes, as their gaze lingers on your wounded arm. And they know. They know that you know. You can see it in the way they pull back, the way they drop a lingering kiss to the back of your hand and leave you ("to rest", they say, though you know that's not it).
"I couldn't bear to lose you too."
You don't see them again until you've healed, and when you do, they seem intent on pretending that nothing ever happened in the infirmary that night

Messianic Aureation
Chapter 12: Final Escape
Tumblr media
Summary: A dramatic last stand against the Madness-infected Vessels of Monstadt has Cara fighting for her life against multiple enemies. Will she manage to escape to live another day, or will she finally fall to the wrath of the hunters and the false god?
WOOHOO I AM ALIVE!!! To all who see this, thank you for sticking out the long wait. We're nearing the end of what I like to call the Monstadt Arc! After that, it's on to the nation of contracts...oh boy. Cara's own personal hell continues. Likes and reblogs are greatly appreciated! Have a great rest of your week! :D
Chapter 13 is here
Tumblr media
Cara had her sword out in an instant, everything Albedo taught her screaming at her to go on the defensive. Rosaria’s polearm bounced off of the blade, sending the other woman falling back. She didn’t waste any time though, and went back in for the kill, charging forward and swinging viciously. Her jabs were sharp and precise. It was taking all of Cara’s concentration to deflect the attacks.
  “You have good reflexes,” Rosaria said. “You’ve been training with someone. Whoever it is taught you well.” She swung her polearm towards Cara’s head. A little shield of gold light pulsed around her arm when she brought it up to block the blow. “And it seems you do have some sort of strange power, after all. I can sense it, you know. It’s drawing me to you.”
  “Then why are you fighting me?” Cara asked. “If you feel the connection between us, you have to know I’m not your enemy!”
  “I know you aren’t. I’ve told you, I’m not doing this because I hate you. I’m doing this because I’m more afraid of what the Creator might do to Monstadt if I allow you to live than what might happen if you die.” Rosaria suddenly disappeared, moving far too quickly for Cara’s eyes to keep up with her. She reappeared behind her and swung her polearm in a wide arc. Cryo built up over it, turning the spear into a far deadlier version of itself as it prepared to cut her in half.
  A shield formed around Cara, protecting her from the attack. The Cryo clashed harmlessly against it. At first, she thought this was another manifestation of her powers. But then she saw that the forcefield had a geometric shape to it, and there was a specific type of elemental energy radiating from it that she had only ever felt from Albedo’s Vision before. This was a shield of Geo.
  “Sister Rosaria, please stand down!” Noelle begged as she brought out her claymore and charged into the battle. “I do not want to fight you!”
  “You don’t want to fight me? Then fine, don’t. This doesn’t involve you, anyway.” Rosaria dodged a swing from Noelle. With her polearm still covered in ice, she struck out and sent the warrior maid skidding away. Cara ran to offer Noelle assistance, using the shield to block Rosaria’s blows. The Geo sparked every time the weapon landed against it, little cracks forming over its transparent surface.
  “Don’t!” Noelle cried. “The shield will break if it's hit too many times! I won’t be able to create another one soon enough!”
  Rosaria continued to attack, and Cara once again found herself going on the defensive. Frustration filled her; here she was, after spending a month training, still depending on others to protect her. With a surge of strength fueled by her emotions, she pushed forward and jabbed her sword right between the tip of Rosaria’s polearm. The two of them strained, each hoping to knock the other’s weapon away, when finally, it was Cara who prevailed. Rosaria’s spear was flung back, and then Cara kicked her in the stomach, hard.
  Rosaria staggered and grunted in pain. “Wow, that was quite the display of strength. I’m impressed. You don’t look like you’d have that sort of drive in you.”
  “When you’ve been hunted by the people you know and love for weeks on end,” Cara said between heavy breaths, “that ‘sort of drive’ will develop in you whether you want it to or not.” She wavered when she saw the way Rosaria was clutching her stomach and realized that she could have seriously injured her. The other woman took advantage of her guilt and leaped forward. Her polearm struck the Geo shield, but this time, its blade cut through it easily. The cracks broke apart, and it exploded into shattering bits.
  “Rule number one of fighting the people you know and love,” Rosaria said. “Never let your guard down simply because of your feelings for them.” And then she punched Cara in the stomach, bringing forth a blossom of pain. She fell to her knees with a gasp.
  “That’s enough!” Noelle screamed. “If you wish to fight Her Grace, then you must fight me as well! I won’t let you hurt her anymore!” She swung her weapon in a wide arc. Rosaria was forced to turn her attention away from Cara to block the attack. Both of them were soon caught in a battle of blows, with Rosaria using her agility to dodge Noelle’s powerful swings. It was reminiscent of the battle Cara witnessed between Bennett and Eula. But now, she could fight too. And she wasn’t about to let Noelle take on Rosaria alone.
  She ignored the sparks of pain shooting through her abdomen as she moved, climbing onto a nearby pew and then launching herself at Rosaria with her sword raised over her head. Rosaria saw and tilted her polearm so that the blade of Cara’s sword hit its shaft. Noelle slammed her body weight into Rosaria, making her fall forward and lose her balance. Cara twirled her sword and knocked the polearm away. It clattered to the cathedral floor and skid beneath a pew.
  “You have skill,” Rosaria said, panting. She dropped to one knee; it seems that having an armored warrior maid barrel into you takes its toll on the body. “This…isn’t the outcome I anticipated when I initiated this fight. I know I can easily defeat you and Noelle at the same time.”
  “Then why don’t you?” Cara asked. “Is…is there a part of you that might be holding back?”
  Rosaria glared daggers at her. “I never hold back.”
  “There is, isn’t there? Stop lying to yourself.” Cara squatted down and looked her right in the eyes. “You know me. I’m not your god or your enemy. I’m Cara, your player, your friend.”
  Rosaria stared at her. Her eyes softened slightly, a light Cara hadn’t seen before flickering to life within them. Her hope rose. I’m getting through to her.
  “We don’t have to fight.” She stood up and offered Rosaria her hand. “Trust me. Please.”
  Before Rosaria could react, the doors to the cathedral suddenly burst open with a swirling of wind. The shards of Cryo that were keeping them closed shattered into little bits. Pouring in came the Knights of Favonius, all of them armed with swords and shields. “There she is!” one of them yelled, pointing at Cara.
  Cara stepped back, startled, and whatever emotions she had moved within Rosaria were gone. The sister swiped her foot beneath her legs and made her fall. “Your Grace!” Noelle cried, moving to run to her, but two knights stood in her path, forcing her back. “Stay silent, traitor,” they hissed at her.
  Rosaria rose over Cara and released a breath. There was no hint of sympathy in her eyes now. She looked visibly shaken though, and regarded Cara like one would observe a venomous snake. “You…are a strange little girl,” she said. “I can’t deny that there’s something divine about you. I don’t blame that god for wanting you dead.” She retrieved her polearm. “Time to put an end to this.”
  Cara scrambled up and gripped her sword. “Rosaria, it doesn’t have to be this way!”
  “You know just as well as I do that it does.” Rosaria once again leaped in to initiate an attack.
  Cara dodged and ran for Noelle. She clashed with the knights in her way and used their armor and shields to her advantage, ducking from clumsy attacks and letting them run into each other. Noelle was not fighting back. She looked far too panicked by the knights pointing their weapons right into her face. Cara knocked their swords aside, grabbed Noelle’s hand, and ran for the cathedral’s front doors.
  “Stop! Imposter!” The knights-and Rosaria-gave chase. Cara and Noelle pounded down the cathedral’s steps and ran through the courtyard. People stopped and stared when they went by, but quickly caught on to what was happening when they saw the knights close behind them. Monstadt’s citizens started to yell and cheer for Cara's capture. “Catch the imposter!” they cried. “Don’t let her escape! Do it for the Creator! Do it for Barbatos!”
  “Why don’t all of you shut the fuck up?” Cara screamed at them as they ran by.
  There was the sound of avian screeching, followed by a streak of purple that leaped through the sky and darted in their path. “This way!” Oz screamed, flapping his wings with desperate urgency. “Quickly! The escape plan is ready to initiate! We must leave, now-!”
  Another blast of Anemo slammed into the three of them. Oz was nearly knocked out of the air, black feathers falling while he squawked. Cara saw the knights and the angered citizens closing in on them. She shoved Noelle in front of her. “Go! Follow Oz! Get out of here!”
  “What?” Noelle yelled. “No! I will not leave you!”
  “They’ve seen you with me and now they’re going to target you, too! You need to get out of the city while you can!”
  “I swore I would protect you no matter what! There is no point in us separating now! We have time to escape together!”
  The wind was pulling Cara away from Noelle. She could feel its strength, and she knew if Noelle and Oz didn’t leave now, the Vision holder conjuring this power would kill them. “Please, just go! I’ll find my way to you guys! Tell Kaeya where I am! I’m going to try and hold them off!”
  “Your Grace, I strongly object to this plan!” Oz screeched. “Our mission is to ensure your safety! Teyvat will not be saved without you!”
  “You two are not expendable!” Cara argued.
  “Neither are you!”
  “I will not watch you die! Please, just go and get Kaeya! I’ll stay here and fight until you guys come back for me!”
  Noelle looked frantically at the incoming mob. “Your Grace…”
  “Go!” Cara shooed at them. She could tell they knew she was afraid. Even with her mask on, her voice was surely giving away just how terrified she was. “I promise I’ll be okay!”
  Oz grabbed Noelle’s cape with his beak and pulled on it urgently. The other girl warred with herself for a second longer, then set her jaw and nodded. “Okay. We’ll be back! Please, stay alive!”
  Cara watched her run after Oz, her heart sinking when she was left alone. She raised a quivering hand to her mask, covering the snout like it was her actual mouth. A hollow sob escaped her lips. Don’t leave me, she thought. Please, don’t leave me here alone. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to face the Madness.
  She did not say these words out loud. She would not allow Noelle or Oz to die for her. This was her war, not theirs. This was ensuring their safety, no matter how terrified she felt.
  She heard the clinking of armor and a sword being unsheathed. Cara whirled around and saw the Acting Grand Master herself walking towards her with a troop of knights following close behind. Monstadt citizens quickly surrounded them, forming a ring that promised no escape.
  “Imposter,” Jean announced forebodingly. “Your time ends here.”
  “Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me,” Cara cursed. She drew her sword and slowly started to back up. Jean stalked towards her, slow and steady, ready to pounce at any moment. “Jean-”
  “Save your excuses. I am not here to talk. By the order of the Almother and under the jurisdiction of the Knights of Favonius, I hereby condemn you to execution.” She pointed her sword at her. “No more running. This ends now.”
  They circled each other, like two animals about to fight. Cara glanced around fleetingly, searching for a possible escape route, but could find none with the giant crowd of onlooking Monstadters surrounding them. The air was filled with the sound of cheers and yells and hisses. Most of what she could pick up on were voices of support for Jean. The citizens were pressing in on them like hungry wolves. If she were to attempt an exit, they would surely tear her apart.
  “Jean,” she desperately implored. “Please, think about this. Is this really what you want? Is this your own decision? Or is it someone else’s? What is your supposed Almother whispering into your ear?”
  Jean snarled. “You dare attempt to shake my faith in the Creator?”
  “I’m trying to make you think! Rosaria told me what she does to you guys. I know she abuses you and takes over your bodies while filling your heads with lies. What does she know about me?”
  “She knows you are a-”
  “She knows nothing!” Cara screamed out the final word with all of her frustration and hatred for the creature who had stolen her face packed into it, sending her emotions high into the heavens for even Celestia to hear. “She claims to know who I am and what my fate is meant to be! All of you do! You see me as an imposter and a heretic, and yet you never even once think to hear out the side of the one you're hunting! I am not what you think I am, I’m not what she thinks I am! I will decide what my fate is and where I’m meant to stand in this world!”
  Jean did not answer. The red in her eyes flickered and dulled. Cara could see the wheels turning in her mind and felt hope. She persisted. “Listen to me Jean. Listen to my words without having the opinion of another forced into your brain. I am not an imposter. I am not your enemy. I don’t want to be your god. I just want to be the person you know me to be deep down.”
  “And who,” Jean asked slowly, “are you supposed to be?” The question sounded like it was directed at herself as much as it was to Cara. The Madness within her was weakening due to her newfound doubt.
  Cara softened. “I’m your friend. I’m the one who fought beside you during the Stormterror incident. I’m the one you’ve confided your troubles and feelings in. I’ve been there for you and I want to keep being here for you. I’m Cara, and I-”
  The moment she said her own name, all progress in freeing Jean was lost. Red consumed her natural eye color, and her lips curled as she bared her teeth and roared. “You will not give yourself a name that doesn’t belong to you!” A blast of Anemo hit Cara and nearly knocked her off of her feet as the Acting Grand Master ran forward to attack.
  Cara rolled and bounced back, deflecting the Aquila Favonia. Jab after jab after jab. Dodge, defend, block, run. This was not the composed, proper attack style she was so used to seeing from Jean. She was being shown the true might of the Acting Grand Master.
  “You are a liar!” Jean slashed. “You are a fraud!” Cara barely had enough time to block an attack aimed for her ankles. “You wear a face that isn’t your own and now you must suffer the repercussions for it! Take it off, heretic! Take off the mask so we can see you for the imposter you really are!”
  Anemo power hit Cara and sent her stumbling back into the crowd. Instantly, what felt like a million hands started clawing at her while the angry screams of the Monstadt citizens filled her ears until it was all she could perceive. Panic set in when she felt herself being swallowed up by the mob, and she fought to break free. A final push had her running back into the circle, but there was no time to catch her breath, because Jean was upon her immediately with her sword flying for her chest.
  She blocked it and struck forward. The fight continued, both swords clashing, back and forth with neither gaining the upper hand. Cara was beginning to tire; she was honestly surprised with herself that she was managing to keep up with Jean for this long. Over and over again the Aquila Favonia flashed before her eyes, and the only thing keeping it at bay was the Prototype Rancour. Sooner or later, her strength was going to give out, and Jean would lop off her head. Kaeya, come on, where are you with that escape plan? I really need you right now!
  In the corner of her good eye, just within her mask’s line of vision, she saw red. Heat touched her skin. Fire. She threw herself out of the way before the Pyro-infused greatsword hurtling towards her could skewer her. It crashed into the ground with so much force the tip of its blade was buried in the cobblestone. Beneath her bandages, her right eye ached. Shit. Wrong brother.
  “Diluc,” Jean said. There was a sort of surprise in her tone.
  “Forgive my intrusion.” Diluc stepped out of the crowd. He retrieved his claymore with a single hand, wrenching it out of the ruined ground like it was a simple stick in the mud. “I hope you don’t mind.”
  “I don’t mind at all. Your aid is welcomed. The imposter is quite skilled with a sword. I’m having a bit of trouble finding her weak spots.”
  “It seems she is.” Diluc regarded Cara with utter disgust. “So we meet again. I see you’ve gotten yourself a little accessory to cover your face with. Do you think it’s funny to wear a mask that resembles Caratrice’s true form? Your sense of humor sickens me.”
  Cara’s mouth felt dry at the sight of the red-haired man. Flashing fire burning away her eye seared her memory and made her wince in pain.
  “I do not trust the knights,” Diluc continued. “And I will admit, I am a little reluctant to be aiding them in your capture and execution. But I am willing to put my feelings aside if it means you are brought to justice. Now, before we kill you, do you have any last words?”
  Cara could not respond. She worked her tongue in the hopes of forming words, but nothing came out. Diluc had sparked deep fear in her, something that hadn’t existed before their fight in Dragonspine. Her heart was pounding too quickly. Her breaths were far too shallow. She couldn’t move. Get up! she screamed at herself. You need to get up! You need to fight! 
  She could see nothing but fire. She could feel nothing but fear. Her mind was a wasteland of charred skin and splattered gold blood. And then, two giant blue-gray eyes ruptured through her vision and she felt a humongous pressure of great claws grabbing her by the shoulders and enormous teeth biting straight into her very soul. “MOVE!” a mighty voice thundered. “STAND!”
  Her hands were shaking. Her fingers curled around the hilt of her sword. Spindling gold cracks lit up across her arms, and with her own voice ringing in her ears, she pushed herself up and faced Diluc and Jean. An onslaught of strength entered her weary bones. She pushed her mask over her head, revealing her face, bandages, concealed scars and all.
  “There she is,” Diluc growled. “The face of a demon in disguise.”
  “There is nowhere to run, imposter,” Jean said. “We have you surrounded.”
  She looked around. All around them were Knights of Favonius, holding off the mob of civilians and facing her with bristled shields and swords. There were familiar faces among them, too: she saw Rosaria staring at her with resigned resolve. Beside her, Barbara watched her nervously with a rosary clutched between her clasped hands. She noticed Amber perched on the top of a nearby building, a flaming arrow aimed for her and ready to be released. Eula, Mona, and Lisa were there, too. It was a standoff. Every single Vision user who was infected with the Madness-or at least influenced by it-was here to kill her. And here she was, completely alone. No Kaeya, no Bennett and Razor, no Klee and Sucrose, no Noelle, no Albedo. She could not face them all alone. She was going to die here. They were going to rip her apart and there was nothing she could do about it.
  She remembered what she had told Albedo in Dragonspine. “I won’t be reckless. I won’t throw myself into situations I can’t handle. I’m going to survive, for you and the rest of my friends.” Not even a day had gone by since she had seen him, and she was already breaking that promise to him. Sorry Albedo, she thought guiltily. I guess I’m not as sensible as you thought I was.
  Cara slowly held up her hands in surrender. And then she turned and ran.
  “After her!” Jean ordered. The knights and the hounds charged. Cara felt the heat of Diluc’s Pyro on her back as he rocketed towards her. She ducked. He sailed over her head, then did a somersault and landed in front of her. The Serpent Spine created sparks against the street as he used it to slow himself down. She made an erratic turn and pelted down an alleyway, leaving him behind.
  “Not so fast!” Amber yelled from the rooftops. Flaming arrows rained down. Cara raised a hand and let a golden shield form. The arrows bounced off of it harmlessly. The alleyway opened up into another main street. She skidded and nearly fell over when she ran left.
  Out of nowhere, Eula appeared and slammed herself into her. Cara fell and nearly lost her sword. Eula swung her claymore down towards her neck, but she blocked it. The blood in her veins flared brightly when she pushed back with an influx of strength.
  Eula recovered quickly. She blasted Cara with Cryo. Little shards of ice formed over her clothes as she raised her arms to shield her face from the elemental attack. Her legs went numb. She looked down at them and was horrified to see that they were slowly being encased in ice.
  “If you didn’t know,” a new voice said from behind her. “Hydro and Cryo create a frozen reaction.” Mona’s eyes glowed blue as she summoned the power of water and kept it swirling around Cara’s legs. “Try escaping now, imposter.”
  “Mona!” Cara cried. “The Madness is in you, too! You need to fight it!”
  “Madness? I’m not infected with any sort of madness! I think of myself as quite a sane person, thank you very much!” Mona looked offended. “You, on the other hand, are probably the craziest person in Monstadt right now. Heretics aren’t known for their high IQs, after all.”
  Cara tried to pull her legs out of the ice, but it was no use. It was slowly creeping up her torso and making its way to her chest. Soon she wouldn’t be able to move at all.
  “I think we’ll let her freeze to death,” Mona mused. “Is that too painful, Eula? I suppose it would be kind of us to give her a merciful execution.”
  “It’s not painful enough,” Eula spat. “The Creator did not tell us to be kind with her.”
  “Oh. Then I guess we should keep her alive long enough for Diluc to get here. Did you know, little imposter? Burning to death is the most painful way a human being can die. Let’s see how you’ll like it.”
  Terror filled Cara like water filling a glass: rapidly rising, higher and higher, until it hit the brim and spilled over and her panic peaked when she realized that she could not move. “Let me go!” she screamed, and with the surge of fear, a gold light erupted from her body and shattered through the ice. She took off running, not looking back, not even acknowledging Mona or Eula a second time. Both women sprang to stop her. Mona raised a hand and sent forth bursts of Hydro, while Eula jumped and practically threw her claymore at her. Cara deflected it, but did not avoid Mona’s attack: the Hydro struck her with piercing pain, and she gasped as she was nearly knocked off balance as what felt like a million tiny little needles jabbed through her clothing and into her skin.
  “Bet you didn’t think water could hurt you so badly, now, did you?” Mona cackled. Hydro swirled around her hands as she prepared to unleash another attack. “Hydrology does more than reveal the future, you know!”
  Despite the agony she was in, Cara kept running. “Don’t let her escape!” Eula shouted.
  She weaved through alleyways and pelted down streets, dodging arrows sent by Amber and barely avoiding hits from Eula and Mona. She did not see Diluc, nor did she see Jean. Monstadt was a huge city, much larger than its game counterpart. How the fuck do I get out of here? she thought frantically. And where the hell are Kaeya and the others?
  She turned a corner, and someone pummeled into her, causing her to see stars. She felt a hand wrap around her neck and another grab her mask and shove it over her head while she was lifted off of the ground. Diluc’s eyes were completely, utterly filled with Madness as he angled his claymore at her stomach. “Hold still,” he hissed. “I want to see your face as you die.”
  She grabbed his wrist and squeezed. Golden light glowed from her palm. Diluc yelped in pain and dropped her, giving her time to get back onto her feet. He examined the marking on his skin, which was already fading away. “You…burned me?”
  She pulled her mask back over her face and ran. Unfortunately, she didn’t get very far. Rosaria was there to join them, once again lunging at her from the shadows with every intent to kill. Cara fought her off and turned to run back the way she came, but a blast of purple lightning forced her to backpedal. “There’s no use in running,” Lisa said haughtily with a smile. She too had arrived to stop her. “Just give up, cutie. It’s time for this to end.”
  Cara turned in a circle. All around her, Vessels were arriving. Amber was once again on a roof. Rosaria, Diluc, and Lisa closed off any escape routes. Eula and Mona caught up and stood at the ready. And finally, there was Jean with Barbara at her side.
  “We cannot kill you just yet,” Barbara said. She did not look like she wanted to be there, and certainly didn’t have the bloodthirsty, furious expression that the rest of them wore, but she did look at Cara with an equal amount of fear and repulsion. “You have something that belongs to the church. Please, hand it over.”
  “No,” Cara insisted. “You don’t understand. I need it.”
  “What would a heretic need with the Holy Lyre der Himmel?” Barbara asked, exasperated.
  “I-I need it to get in contact with Barbatos. I-”
  Mona cut her off with sharp laughter. “Ha! The imposter wants to gain an audience with the Anemo Archon! You truly are the most mad person in Monstadt!”
  “Barbatos would never grace you with his presence,” Jean said coldly.
  “He doesn’t even grace his own followers with his presence,” Rosaria muttered, but was quickly shushed by Barbara.
  “You don’t understand!” Cara cried. “This isn’t just about him and me! It’s about something even greater!”
  “There is nothing great about stealing a sacred artifact from the church,” Amber spoke up. “And there isn’t anything great about calling yourself the Creator, either.”
  “I never did that! You all just assumed I was because of my name!”
  “Your ‘name’ is enough evidence to prove you are an imposter,” Eula said. “Do you know about the heretics who have come before you? All of them called themselves something similar to Her Grace’s name. You are just following in their footsteps. The lack of respect for the Almother sickens me! By the gods, I will have vengeance for this!”
  They were closing in on her. Cara desperately looked for somewhere to run, but a flaming arrow nicked her shoulder and caused her to hiss. “That was just a warning!” Amber called. “One more step and I’ll send one straight through your heart!”
  Blood dripped from the mild wound. She clutched it, then suddenly had an idea. With her palm covered in her own blood, she raised it into the air for all of them to see. “Look! Look at the color of my blood! Would an imposter have golden blood?”
  They all paused.
  “Her Grace told us you might try to trick us this way,” Jean said.
  “Your blood is not gold,” Eula growled. “Your blood is just as red as ours.”
  “It literally isn’t!” Cara could not hold back her frustration.
  “Heretics have used alchemy in the past to give their blood the appearance of being gold,” Lisa said. “You really thought we would fall for such a rudimentary trick? Aw, I thought you were smarter than this, darling.”
  “I have had enough of this.” Diluc marched towards Cara with flames burning across his claymore. “No more talking. You will die now, and there is no more dicussing it.”
  Cara raised her sword, preparing to fight for her life, even though she knew she was going to lose. But before such a battle could begin…she heard something.
  The whinny of a horse, followed by the sound of hooves.
  Diluc paused. All of the Vessels looked around in confusion. The clop-clop-clopping grew nearer. Cara could feel the vibration within the soles of her boots.
  And then a horse galloped into the scene, cantering straight into the circle and causing the Vision holders to seek cover from the massive animal’s arrival. Diluc stumbled back as the horse halted right between him and Cara, rearing up onto its hind legs and punching the air as it neighed. Its tack was gold and white, and emblazoned upon its head armor was the Knights of Favonius crest.
  A familiar gloved hand reached out for her. “Get on!” Kaeya yelled.
  Cara did not waste any time. She grasped his arm and let him haul her up onto the horse behind him. “Hold on tight,” he told her. “This is going to be a fast ride.” He squeezed the horse and snapped the reins. It took off into an immediate canter, flying down the street and leaving the hunters far behind them. The last thing Cara heard was Diluc scream out “KAEYA!” with enough fury to send a grown man into tears.
  They did not speak as they raced through Monstadt’s streets. Cara was pretty sure if she tried to talk, her voice would be carried away with the wind. She just held on to Kaeya with all of her might, burying her face into his shoulder and feeling the gait of the horse beneath her. A loud cawing from above made her peek up at the sky. Leading them from the air was Oz. Trails of Electro crackled off of his feathers as he flew…or perhaps it wasn’t Oz at all. There was no sign of Fischl anywhere, so it was probable she was the one guiding them to safety.
  They went through the city’s main gates and down the stone bridge, going far too fast for anyone to stop them. Waiting at the end were two more horses. On one was Bennett and Razor, and on the other was Noelle. They joined them as they cantered off, side by side, heading deeper into the wilds. Only when they were far away from the city did the horses slow to a brisk trot.
  “Cara!” Bennett called. “Are you alright?”
  “I’m fine!” she answered. “Where did you guys get these horses? I didn’t even know there were horses in Monstadt!”
  “Well, it would be a bit odd for me to be the cavalry captain if there were no horses around, no?” Kaeya said to her.
  “Well, yes, of course, but-” It probably wouldn’t be the best idea for her to say “Hey, Hoyoverse hasn’t added mounts to the game yet!” to the game characters, so she went for a different way of wording. “I thought Varka took all the horses with him on that big expedition!”
  “That would be impossible!” Noelle piped up. “The Grand Master did take many of the horses the Knights of Favonius own, yes, but plenty remained here for those who stayed behind! We depend on horses for many things! To leave Monstadt horseless would be a great disaster!”
  “Not to mention that the Adventurers’ Guild has a stable of their own that they let their members use for free!” Bennett added. “Plenty of regular civilians and adventurers own horses of their own!”
  “The point is, we need horses here,” Kaeya said. “It’s mandatory for all knights to know how to ride because of how important a skill it is. Horses truly are an integral part of Monstadt’s stability.”
  “Huh.” Cara didn’t know what to say to that. It seemed that there really were more differences between this world she had been forced into and the game she used to play than she thought. “Did you just take them from the stables? Isn’t that stealing?”
  “I am the cavalry captain,” Kaeya said matter-of-factly. “I can take as many of the Knights’ horses as I want, when I want.”
  “No one saw us take them, if that’s what you're worried about!” Noelle said. “We’re okay! What we’re worried about is you!”
  “What were you thinking?” Kaeya scolded. “You never should have separated from Noelle and Oz! They could have helped you fight the others off until I arrived!”
  “If they would have stayed with me, they would have been in danger!” Cara replied. “I didn’t want that to happen!”
  Kaeya sighed. “We’re all going to be in danger whether we want to or not. There’s no changing that anymore. I’m glad you're okay, but I really would have preferred it if one of us had been there for you.”
  “I…I’m sorry. I probably scared you guys, and it wasn’t smart of me to send Noelle and Oz away. I just didn’t want to see them get hurt. Everyone was there to kill me. It was better that I was alone so their attention was on me, not you guys.”
  “We don’t want their attention on you, Your Grace,” Kaeya said. “It’s extremely important that you are never cornered like that again.”
  Cara was silent. She felt guilty on more than one level. Her friends were so willing to fight for her, to stand by her, to give up everything for her. It felt wrong. It felt selfish. Their lives were disrupted because of her. Kaeya, Bennett, Razor, Noelle…even Fischl and Oz. They could never go back to how things were. Their relationships with the Madness-infected Vessels were ruined. Kaeya would be killed if he stepped foot into Monstadt right now. Bennett would lose his status in the Adventurers’ Guild and be imprisoned. Razor had been forced to deceive Lisa, his mother figure. She might never trust him again. And Noelle…poor Noelle, who worked so hard to try and win Jean’s approval so she herself might become a knight someday…because of her, that dream was gone. As for Fischl and Oz, people probably saw the large purple night raven leading the heretic and her followers to safety. Mona might have seen. The two girls were practically sisters. Had she just torn them apart?
  “Hey!” Bennett yelled, as if sensing how upset she was with herself. “What’s done is done, alright? We’re all safe, and that’s what matters. Let’s get the heck away from the city and steal that gnosis!” He spurred his horse onward, outpacing the other two and taking the lead. “I’m heading for Windrise! Last one there is hilichurl chow!”
  “Wolves not meant to ride horse!” Razor shrieked as he clung to Bennett. “Wolf meant to run alone on ground! Going too fast!” His howls got lost amidst the sound of Bennett’s laughter. Cara couldn’t help but smile as she watched them.
  They stuck to the main path, cantering past the Temple of the Falcon and heading southeast towards the tree that sat like a mighty giant in the distance. The sun was starting to set, signaling the beginning of the end for this terrifying, hectic afternoon. Cara looked back and could not see Monstadt City anymore; it was lost behind the cliffs and the hills, giving her a sense of ease as distance was put between her and the hunters. After today, she most likely wouldn't be there again for a while…at least, as long as she managed to successfully take Venti’s gnosis after summoning him with the holy lyre. If this impossible mission goes according to plan, and she actually manages to get it…she would have to leave Monstadt for a long, long time. It sent a pain through her heart. The nation of freedom was a place she was nostalgically fond of, and she was sad she hadn’t been given the chance to experience its beauty without its horrors lingering close behind.
  They were alone when they arrived at Windrise. They let the horses graze beneath Vanessa’s tree and took the time to rest on the oak’s giant roots. Noelle unpacked some food and gave specific dishes to each of them. “A Monstadt hash brown for Razor…some chicken-mushroom skewers for Kaeya…a delicious Teyvat fried egg for Bennett…a cold cut platter for Fischl and Oz…and some lighter-than-air pancakes for you and me, Your Grace! I don’t know what your favorite food is, I apologize greatly for that, but I thought you might enjoy my specialty!”
  Cara dug into the pancakes immediately, grateful to have something in her stomach after all of the running and fighting she had just done. “They’re perfect. Thank you, Noelle. Honestly, I don’t have a single favorite food. I’ll eat anything you give me…but I do enjoy seafood when I can have it. I could live off of seafood.”
  “Seafood!” Noelle clapped her hands. “Perfect! I shall remember that. Thank you for telling me, Your Grace!”
  Fischl, who had separated from Oz, suddenly gasped and nearly flung her cold cut platter into the air. Oz was knocked off of her shoulder and flopped onto the ground with a protesting caw. “Goodness gracious! Your Grace, thou hast received a wound!”
  “Huh? What?” Cara poked her bandages. “Haven’t we discussed my injured eye already?”
  “No! That’s not what I’m talking about!” Fischl grabbed her arm and touched her shoulder, where a bit of her shirt was ripped. “Who did this to you? I shall have their head for this!”
  “Oh, that? It’s nothing. Look, it's already healed.” Cara poked the thin golden scar visible through the tear. “I got that when Amber shot an arrow at me. Thank god it wasn’t on fire.”
  “Your endurance to such injuries has grown quite impressive, Your Grace,” Oz said. He cautiously hopped back onto Fischl’s shoulder and peered closely at the scar.
  “Hmph! Well, I would imagine so! Her Grace is filled with enough power to bring the Seven to their knees! Of course a little cut from a messy mortal arrow wouldst be not a problem for her!” Fischl said.
  “I think it’s so cool,” Bennett added. “I mean, being able to heal from any injury? Gods sure do have it lucky, don’t they?”
  “Please don���t call me a god,” Cara groaned. “I thought we established that we weren’t going to do that anymore. I-”
  Suddenly, the wind began to blow. Cara paused when she felt it blowing gently across them all. Something familiar stirred within her heart. The words she was about to say died on her tongue as she looked northeast. Across the Wailwind Highland, over the green fields and the tops of trees, in the direction of Starfell Valley, the tops of an ancient amphitheater were only just visible. The Thousand Wind’s Temple, where the wind was telling her to go. With it…came the gentle plucking of a lyre. The faint melody of a familiar song that brought dread.
  “Cara?” Razor said. He nudged her gently. “Alright? You smell…scared. What is scaring you?”
  Kaeya looked at her closely and seemed to recognize the distant expression in her eye. “What are you hearing?” he asked.
  “Someone is waiting for me there.” She pointed to the Thousand Wind’s Temple.
  “Who?” Oz asked.
  She knew who. She knew Kaeya knew as well, and from the dawning looks of apprehension Razor and Bennett were sharing with each other, it was clear they realized it too. Shakily, she stood. “I have to go.”
  “Go?” Fischl and Oz repeated together.
  “Your Grace, what do you mean?” Noelle asked.
  Cara swallowed hard. “Noelle, Fischl, Oz…thank you for everything you have done for me. I know I’ve messed up your lives. Things won’t be the same for you guys anymore, and I know that’s my fault. I’m sorry I roped you into this…I wish I hadn’t.”
  Noelle stood up too. “There is nothing to apologize for, Your Grace! I told you this in the church courtyard, I chose to help you! I do not care if Monstadt ostracizes me for it, I will never regret my decision to stand by your side!”
  “Oz and I agree!” Fischl got up and put her hands on her hips. “If thou believest we wouldn’t have come to thy aid, then thou must reconsider changing thy beliefs! We would do it again, and again, and again!”
  “You must not doubt us, Your Grace,” Oz agreed. “Mein Fräulein and I will always be here for you.”
  Cara looked at them, and smiled. She felt tears gathering in her good eye, and she had to lower her head and wipe them away. “You guys…I…I don’t deserve you…”
  “You deserve everything and so much more.” Fischl’s words were uncharacteristically gentle and heartfelt. “Just because you don't believe it, doesn’t mean it is not true.”
  “Have faith in us, Almother,” Oz said. “-as we have faith in you.”
  Cara stepped closer to them. She flung her arms over their shoulders and pulled them close, hugging them. “I love you guys. I love you guys so, so much.”
  “We love you, too,” Noelle murmured.
  “Our love for you knows no bounds,” Fischl said.
  She held them tight, then eventually let go. She swiped her tears away. “I wish you guys could stay with me…but you can’t. You can’t go where I’m going. So I’m going to ask you, please, to get out of here while you can. Fischl and Oz, I don’t think anyone truly saw you guys helping me. You can return to Monstadt safely. Noelle…”
  “I cannot go back.” Noelle nodded sadly. “I know.”
  “I know someone who can keep you safe, though. Go to Dragonspine and find Albedo. He’s on our side. Tell him I sent you, and I asked that he keep you safe. I know I’ve asked far too much of him already, but…I want you to be protected. I don’t want you to die.”
  “Are…are you sure we cannot come with you?”
  “No. This is something that I have to do alone.”
  Noelle sighed. “I understand.” Her eyes were glassy, but she was smiling. “Your Grace, it was my honor and privilege to serve you. I wish you nothing but success and safety on your journeys. I know that after today, we will probably won’t see each other again for a long time, but…there won’t be a single day that goes by from this moment onward that I won’t be thinking of you and praying you are safe.”
  “I, too, will be praying and wishing for your safety,” Fischl said. She was sniffling and trying to keep a strong, determined expression on, but the tears dripping down her cheeks and the sight of her bottom lip quivering gave away just how distraught she was. “Your Grace, in the name of the Immernachtreich…I beseech you to remain ever vigilant of where thy foes may appear. Though we may not follow where fate brings you…we shall always be with you. This, um, isn’t just coming from the Prinzessin der Verurteilung…it’s coming from my heart, as well.”
  Cara understood what she meant. She nodded. “I’ll be safe. I’ll get the Anemo gnosis. I’ll make sure neither of you have to fear for your life ever again.”
  Noelle helped Fischl onto one of the horses, then got on another one. Both girls gave Cara one last farewell before leaving. Noelle headed towards Dragonspine, while Fischl took the road back in the direction of the city. She watched them draw farther and farther until she couldn’t see either of them at all.
  Oz landed on her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek. “May the night protect you, Almother. Farewell.” And then he disappeared with a burst of electric light.
  There was silence. Cara sat down one on a root and stared at the ground. She did not bother to wipe her tears away.
  Razor sat down next to her. “Cara alright?” he softly asked.
  She sniffed and nodded, swallowing down a sob. “I’ll be okay.”
  “It’s hard to say goodbyes,” Bennett said. “It’s even harder when you don’t know if it’ll be the last goodbye you ever give someone.”
  “It won’t be.” Kaeya placed a steady hand on Cara’s shoulder. “You will see them again. I promise you.”
  “I just want them to be safe,” she whispered.
  “They will be,” Bennett said. “I know they will. Noelle’s going to go stay with Albedo. Nobody will mess with her if he’s around. And Fischl and Oz are two of my best friends! I know how strong they are! It’ll take more than the Knights of Favonius to bring them down!”
  “Purple girl, purple bird, and maid lady good people,” Razor added. “They won’t die. Souls are strong. Strong like wolf. No bad will happen to them. This I know.”
  Kaeya squeezed her shoulder. “You must remain strong, for them, and for yourself. They will be okay. And you will be okay, too.”
  “Yeah!” Bennett grinned. “You’ll be okay! Even if Noelle, Fischl, and Oz are gone, that doesn’t mean you aren’t alone! You have us! And we aren’t going anywhere!”
  Razor grunted in agreement. “Right!”
  “We certainly aren’t.” Kaeya sat down and ducked his head to meet Cara’s eye. He smiled gently. “We aren’t leaving you…though I have a feeling you may attempt to convince us to.”
  “You know me that well, huh?” Cara chuckled. “It’s true, though. You guys will be so much safer if you don’t come with me. You can go with Noelle and stay with Albedo-”
  “Nope! Not happening!” Bennett jumped up. “Tell us to leave all you want, but we’re not gonna listen to you! We’ve been through so much together already! You’re really gonna just tell us to leave after everything that’s happened?”
  “We are pack.” Razor pressed a hand to his heart. “You…me…Bennett…Kaeya…we are lupical now. Lupical protect each other. Lupical never abandons lupical, ever.”
  “You two certainly do speak words of wisdom,” Kaeya said. “They’re right, Cara. We aren’t leaving. No matter what you tell us, we’re with you.”
  Cara felt like she was going to burst into full-on sobbing. “You guys…fuck, your going to make me break apart if you keep saying all of this…” She sniffled and stood up. Their words ignited fresh determination. “Thank you. I don’t deserve you three. I want you to stay. I don’t want you to leave me…so please, no matter what I say…don’t leave.”
  “We won’t!”
  “Mm, promise!”
  “The four of us will carry on together.”
  She breathed in, then sighed. She felt better. Their words left her feeling invigorated. Noelle, Fischl, and Oz would be okay. Deep down, she knew Teyvat wouldn’t let any of her allies fall to danger. Everyone who had helped her in Monstadt would be alright.
  The echoes from the lyre continued to send deep tremors through her soul.
  It was time to face the music.
  “I need you guys to wait here,” she told them. “I’m going to get the gnosis.”
  They started to protest, and she held up her hand. “I know we just went through an emotional moment where we promised each other we’d stick together…but this is a battle I need to fight by myself. I-I can feel it. This won’t be a fight for mortals.” This will be a battle against gods.
  They exchanged glances, still looking uncertain. It was Kaeya who finally relented. “Are you sure about this?”
  “I am. He’s calling to me, and only me. If you guys show up, too…” She cast a glance at the temple. “He may not be happy. I don’t think he’d hurt you, but in the state he’s in, with the Madness controlling him…”
  “He’ll kill us.” Bennett’s voice was shaky.
  Kaeya stepped back. “Okay. You go. Take the horse with you. She’s loyal, and she’s fast. A quick getaway once it’s over might be necessary.”
  Cara stepped up to the remaining horse and gently petted her neck. The mare nickered softly, giving her a greeting while she stared at her with kind brown eyes. “What’s her name?” 
  “Epona,” Kaeya answered, then added, “I trained her myself. She’ll stick with you no matter what is thrown your way.”
  Cara put her foot in the stirrup and let Kaeya help her into the saddle. She looked down at her friends. They stood watching, waiting. Razor nodded once. Bennett gave her a thumbs up. Kaeya held Epona’s bridle and questioned her one last time. “You remember everything Albedo taught you?”
  “How could I forget? He spent a month drilling it all into my brain.”
  “Don’t hold it against him. You’ll get back at him for it one day.” Kaeya patted Epona’s neck, then stepped back. “We’ll follow from a distance and wait nearby. Please…stay safe, Cara. Stay alive.”
  “Fight tooth and claw!” Razor added.
  “Kick that Archon’s butt!” Bennett cried.
  She smiled at them. “I will. I’m coming back with that gnosis, no matter what.”
  She gave Epona a squeeze, and with a snort, she started off at a trot. Cara looked back and saw her friends watching. She waved, then forced herself to face forward.
  She was terrified. She did not want to face him. She did not want to do this at all.
  But she was going to have to.
  Albedo, Noelle, Sucrose, Klee. Fischl, Oz, Diona. Kaeya, Bennett, Razor…she would not let their faith in her be in vain.
  She headed for the Thousand Winds Temple, following the lyre’s song, where Venti was waiting.

Vair headcanons from before the blog reformat: sfw edition
Vair was clumsy as a kid and had to put in extra time to work out the kinks. Imagine him tripping over himself while marching and faceplanting in the dirt while the drill sergeant just goes apeshit over this.
Vair: Training is how I relax. Vair: Few things can loose your frustrations as well as a good swing of a blade.
Vair’s favorite tea is peppermint, as it’s his old best friend’s favorite (and it wakes the drinker considerably). But he also likes lemon with honey.
Vair sometimes calls young Zelda (of reginalucem) ‘little miss’ rather than ‘Your Highness,’ generally when no one’s around to eye him for his lack of manners. It’s an affectionate thing. He can’t help but dote on the daughter of his best friend.
While Vair’s weapon of choice is a royal claymore, when marching he prefers to hold his halberd. It’s lighter and less likely to smack someone– an old habit from his younger, clumsy days.
Vair’s hobbies include marching, weapons maintenance, training, and on occasion, archery and falconry. He has a bit of a one-track mind.
Vair fucking hates mathematics. He can do basic things– addition, subtraction, on occasion multiplication with smaller numbers– but anything more than that gives him a headache.
When Vair falls in love, it shows. He practically moons over his crush and has trouble focusing as he can’t stop thinking of them. His otherwise-steady hands shake a little and his heart won’t stop pounding. Also prone to smiling like a dumbass at the thought of whoever it is.
Vair’s weakness, romantically, is comaraderie. He tends to fall for those he works with, and he may or may not have fallen for his boss at one point. He’s also accustomed to these being rather inappropriate feelings, so he tends to bury them under six feet of stone.
Vair has a tendency to collect love letters from around the castle. There are more than a few maids and ladies who find themselves infatuated with this diligent knight, but Vair really has no idea what to do with the tokens of affection he receives. He ends up keeping them in a drawer.
Vair was accused of being a changeling as a kid, before his village was destroyed. He had no idea what it meant, only that people didn’t like him because he was a little odd.
Vair was orphaned at the tender age of six years old, by means of a dragon attack that destroyed his entire village. His parents saw the monster coming, plopped him on a horse, slapped the beast in the rear, and that was the last Vair saw of them. (Sidenote: This was before the character conception of his sister, Cara.)
After his parents died, Vair was raised by a distant relative of his who chose to abandon the family tradition and become a knight. Though the actual relation is rather complex, Vair just calls him his uncle.
Vair was taken to the Spring of Power at the age of five– before his village was destroyed– and Dinraal appeared for him. His parents took this to mean he was blessed by the fire spirit. He certainly is lucky in a few ways; he escaped a massacre…
Vair becomes notably more casual and relaxed at the training grounds. It’s easy for him to forget that not everyone there is a soldier or a knight, and it’s just where he goes to relax (by beating the tar out of some dummies, or other knights.)
Vair is that dad who lets his kid(s) get away with murder. Not literally, though. One might think he’d be a stern father judging from his chilly attitude on the job, but really he’s happy to gush about how sweet his family is at any opportunity.
Vair once tried to date one of his myriad admirers, back when he was a teenager. Never again.

29 de enero ❌
No puede ser, iba tan bien pero hablando con Luca se me salió y me expresé mal de una mujer, maldita sea. Tache por eso. En el trabajo estuvo relax. Se suponía que vería a una chica hoy, ya la había visto pero era nuestra primera salida, quedamos de vernos en Forum pero ya no llegó, así que mejor me regresé a mi casa. Estaba muy nervioso de estar ahí, era baja la probabilidad, pero existía la posibilidad de encontrarme a Alex, estaba que me cagaba de miedo todo ese rato. Algo curioso que me pasó en el regreso fue que dos chicas me coquetearon. Ambas estaban guapas y se veían como de 27 y 33 años respectivamente. Eran de hecho del estilo de morras que encuentra uno en el chopo. La que se veía de 33 tenía el cabello pintado de azul claro, era blanquita y chaparrita. Se me quedó viendo fijamente por unos segundos pero me puse nervioso, me volteé y mejor me fui.
La segunda iba con dos amigos, quizá por la apariencia de ellos podría decir que hasta tenía más de 27. Me quedé parado apartando una cita para la cirujía laser de los ojos con los chicos que están ubicado a la salida del suburbano cuando la vi pasar. Fueron como 3 veces que pasaron y a la tercera ella cruzó mirada y me sonrió, fue casi como un saludo pero como estaba con el chavo no pude reaccionar al 100 y solo le devolví la sonrisa, aún a lo lejos volteó varias veces, y algo le dijo a sus amigos porque ellos también voltearon. Me gustó porque era delgada, super blanquita y tenía una cara muy muy finita. Y muchísimo estilo además. Bueno, debo cambiar esa palabra, tenía buen gusto para vestir. Debo admitir que me dieron ganas de hablarle a ambas, sobretodo a ésta última, pero ahora prefiero no hacer ningún movimiento inoportuno. De hecho es el segundo fin que no salgo, la última persona que conocí fue Aranza. Estas dos últimas veces que planeé salidas con chicas no más no se hizo nada, no me mortifica pero yo creo que es por algo. Vaya, ya estoy hablando como esas personas bobas que dicen "las cosas pasan por algo". Sí que estoy cambiando, rayos. Me la seguiré llevando tranqui en ese sentido.
El resto del día solo aproveché para terminar mi proyecto de alcantarillado. Ya más nochecita me preparé un frapé de oreo y me eché el más reciente de Claymore, se puso super chido no ma. Ya vi por qué me gustaba tanto. Lástima que Alex nunca pudo leer la historia, está mucho más chido que SNK o Kimetsu. Tache por lo de que dije al inicio con Luca: "pues sí me la doy". Aunque ya puedo suprimir casi por completo eso de voltear a ver a las chicas cuando veo que están muy guapas. Y eso que estaba en Forum donde para ser honesto se ve de todo. Es raro, de momento siento nuevamente ese impulso de confianza pero lo alterno con algo de miedo. Como si fuera dos yo, chale.

What I'm Reading: Graphic Novels Edition.
I've been reading a lot of graphic novels/comics lately (Most of them of the indie persuasion), so I thought I would list the ones I've been reading and what they're about. I miss reading books, but at the moment all I can read are graphic novels, comics, and middle grade books. So, without further ado, here are the graphic novels I am currently reading.
Tumblr media
The Final Girls (ComiXology Originals, a 5-part series)
Written by: Cara Ellison Synopsis: The world's most powerful working hero, Scathach, asks her retired peers to punish another hero for a crime. Her friends Kogarashi and Bavanshee secretly agree to pay a visit to this hero, Claymore. But Claymore is very popular and famous... And all the kids want to be him when they grow up.
This comic gives me Watchmen vibes. It's very dark, not at all like your average superhero comic. If you're looking for something cutesy and childlike, you certainly won't find that here. I'm still undecided as to how I feel about it. It takes place in Scotland, which I love, and the characters are all very different from one another. But I'm not loving the story so far.
Tumblr media
The Backstagers, Vol 1 Written by: James Tynion, IV Synopsis: James Tynion IV (Detective Comics, The Woods) teams up with artist Rian Sygh (Munchkin, Stolen Forest) for an incredibly earnest story that explores what it means to find a place to fit in when you're kinda an outcast. When Jory transfers to an all-boys private high school, he’s taken in by the lowly stage crew known as the Backstagers. Hunter, Aziz, Sasha, and Beckett become his new best friends and introduce him to an entire magical world that lives beyond the curtain that the rest of the school doesn’t know about, filled with strange creatures, changing hallways, and a decades-old legend of a backstage crew that went missing and was never found. Collects the first four issues.
Tumblr media
The Avant-Guards, Vol 2 Written by: Carly Usdin Synopsis: Welcome to the Georgia O'Keeffe College of Arts and Subtle Dramatics, an historically all-female school whose population is decidedly more drama geek than jock. Liv, aspiring actor and basketball enthusiast, doesn't understand why she can't be both, but she seems alone in that belief...until Charlie. Charlie is a recent transfer, a star basketball player, and the answer to all of Liv's problems. She'll stop at nothing to get Charlie to join the ragtag group of misfits that make up their fledgling basketball team. Carly Usdin (Heavy Vinyl) and Noah Hayes (Goldie Vance) present a touching tale about finding what you're looking for... on and off the court. I'm really enjoying this one! I love the amount of diversity (characters of color! Queer characters! Bisexual characters! and so much more!), and i love how the story is building up. I'm not a big fan of the art, but the story is so good that it really doesn't matter.
And, finally.....
Tumblr media
Heavy Vinyl, Vol 1. Written by: Carly Usdin Synopsis: New Jersey, 1998. Chris has just started the teen dream job: working at Vinyl Mayhem, the local record store. She's prepared to deal with anything—misogynistic metalheads, grunge wannabes, even a crush on her wicked cute co-worker, Maggie. But when the staff's favorite singer mysteriously vanishes the night before her band’s show in town, Chris finds out her co-workers are doing more than just sorting vinyl… her local indie record store is also a front for a teen girl vigilante fight club! Heavy Vinyl is my favorite of the bunch. As someone who is obsessed with music and record stores, the general aesthetic of this is music to my ears (pun intended). It also takes place in the 90s, and as someone who grew up during this time, reading this book gives me a much-needed shot in the arm of nostalgia. i can't wait to read the entire series. Hopefully you guys enjoyed! Maybe you'll even pick up one of these books and decide for yourself if they're good or not. Till next time!

Il bilanciamento è un tema cardine nella valutazione di un gioco, al punto che per diverso tempo è stato un capitolo fisso di alcune recensioni con tanto di voto dedicato. Per gioco bilanciato pensiamo a qualcosa di corretto, leale, proporzionato; tutti tratti positivi.
È un argomento particolarmente importante e delicato del game design e che in realtà non è così semplice da definire, dato che si declina in molteplici aspetti: io stesso ne ho già parlato in una serie di articoli (parte da qui) riguardanti la calibrazione del livello di difficoltà e poi in termini diversi qui su IGN, in maniera più puntuale ragionando sui meccanismi di vantaggio e svantaggio — o più elegantemente definiti trade-off in gergo anglosassone. Eppure, ci sarebbero tanti altri spunti di discussione a riguardo, concentrandosi su singole meccaniche o analizzando gli accorgimenti attuati in particolari generi videoludici.
Stavolta però voglio cambiare prospettiva e chiedermi invece: è sempre vero che un bilanciamento perfetto è l'obiettivo cui puntare? Come da sottotitolo, escluderò dal discorso i titoli multiplayer per ovvi motivi: in quel caso la necessità di garantire un'equa possibilità di vittoria a ogni giocatore è un qualcosa su cui non si può transigere, un mondo che magari si potrebbe analizzare in separata sede.
Nelle esperienze a giocatore singolo invece, di fronte a un ventaglio di opzioni a nostra disposizione, ci sono vari casi in cui lo sbilanciamento tra di esse può avere i suoi meriti.
Progressione e varietà
Partiamo da Dark Souls, un gioco incredibilmente bilanciato in ogni sua componente, prendendo in esame la filosofia dietro agli oggetti equipaggiabili. Quasi tutte le armi e armature più o meno si equivalgono in termini di efficacia complessiva, come se a monte ci fosse una quantità fissa di "potenza" assegnabile che nessuno può superare ma che viene distribuita differentemente su vari attributi (attacco, velocità, difesa, peso, ecc). Un trade-off, appunto. Ne consegue che il giocatore è libero di selezionare l'equipaggiamento che più lo aggrada in base al suo stile e preferenze personali, senza temere di imboccare una strada sbagliata.
Un traguardo di certo molto apprezzabile, ma che se da un lato garantisce libertà e varietà, soprattutto a livelli avanzati o in partite successive, dall'altro rischia anche di creare stagnazione.
Un giocatore curioso troverà in questo sistema stimoli a variare e sperimentare col suo personaggio, ma un altro potrebbe benissimo non vedere nessun vantaggio evidente nel cambiamento e quindi fossilizzarsi sull'equipaggiamento su cui ha già investito risorse e guadagnato padronanza attraverso la pratica. Cavallo che vince non si cambia, togliendo così interesse e valore a tutti gli oggetti scoperti in seguito. Quanti di voi di fronte all'ennesima arma rinvenuta si sono detti "ah sì simpatica, la metto in collezione e continuo con la mia cara claymore +10"?
Giochi come i Resident Evil invece, che puntano a un'esperienza meno calibrata e che si preoccupano di più della singola partita, non si fanno problemi a offrire un arsenale completamente sbilanciato. La Magnum soppianta totalmente la Beretta, il lanciagranate eclissa il fucile a pompa e così via.
Stavolta l'opera non è interessata a mettere il giocatore di fronte a una scelta strategica che vada oltre il banale, quel che importa è invece il senso di progressione e meraviglia: ogni nuova arma è un passo avanti enorme nella potenza di fuoco disponibile e quindi ogni ritrovamento è sempre un momento di estremo entusiasmo. E se inizialmente queste armi sono limitate dalla penuria di munizioni, dopo non troppo tempo questo vincolo sparisce, fino al climax finale del gioco dove il paradigma cambia e non siamo più braccati e relativamente deboli di fronte agli zombie, ma delle macchine da guerra. Il senso di potenza è totale e pervasivo, grazie ad armi troppo forti rispetto all'ambiente che ci ha tormentato fino a quel punto. Poco importa se rendono le vecchie opzioni obsolete.
Il potere del fallimento
Un'altra ragione per cui la presenza di sbilanciamento può essere benefica sta nell'assicurare un riconoscimento alle scelte del giocatore, nel preservare la possibilità di sbagliare. Parlando di giochi di ruolo, e quindi ampia libertà nella costruzione del personaggio, a nessuno piace l'idea di sviluppare l'avatar con un'impostazione errata e quindi ritrovarsi con un pg inefficace, magari al punto da non riuscire a superare uno scontro ostico. Si è quindi tentati di considerare ideale un sistema dove tutte le abilità sono ugualmente valide, dove ogni percorso di crescita è efficace.
Questa è la strada abbracciata da Pillars of Eternity, che spinge al massimo la premessa cercando non solo di validare ogni classe, ogni abilità, ogni statistica, ma anche di supportare qualsiasi combinazione tra di esse. Ad esempio, mentre in altri giochi un Barbaro con alta Intelligenza sarebbe una scelta inefficiente, nel prodotto di Obsidian può invece avere un senso, perché i bonus forniti dalla statistica (come l'aumento dell'area d'effetto degli attacchi) si applicano anche ai colpi speciali della classe da mischia.
Di conseguenza è molto difficile creare un personaggio del tutto inadatto ai combattimenti, e tra uno fatto come si deve e un altro costruito alla meno peggio non c'è una differenza troppo marcata. Intendiamoci, non è un bilanciamento perfetto e comprendendo per bene i sistemi si possono ottenere build che surclassano le altre, così come il Cipher parte di base con una marcia in più... ma a una prima giocata la sensazione è effettivamente di avere davanti un sistema che previene il fallimento. Siamo liberi di ideare l'avatar come preferiamo, senza sentirci vincolati alle sue prestazioni in battaglia. Una cosa bellissima in un gioco di ruolo, no? Beh, nella pratica a parecchie persone la cosa non ha fatto troppo piacere.
Questa distribuzione equa dell'efficacia ha significato anche appiattire lo spettro di risultati possibili e limitare l'impatto delle scelte fatte dal giocatore. Avere un personaggio che funzioni è diventata una cosa banale e scontata, non è più un traguardo da conquistare e non regala più soddisfazione. L'utente non può più godere della soddisfazione per aver decifrato un ruleset, perché tutto gli viene concesso e qualsiasi errore perdonato.
Un tipo di bilanciamento assente in un sacco di altri giochi, come il celebre Diablo 2, che nonostante un sistema di crescita rigido e ricco di vicoli ciechi in cui incastrarsi è da sempre elogiato. Perché il successo è qualcosa da ottenere grazie alla propria capacità, attraverso intuizione e studio, tramite tentativi e fallimenti: tutte cose che ci fanno sentire capaci, abili e un po' speciali.
Tutte queste considerazioni sono punti di vista non assoluti e che possono cambiare molto da utente a utente e in base a come ci si approccia al gioco, ma che possono talvolta mettere in discussione un assunto che diamo per scontato, ovvero che l’assenza di bilanciamento è sempre un difetto.

Selain itu, biasanya Sucrose berperan sebagai pengontrol pertarungan dengan tim lain dengan menggunakan bantuan wind. Ningguang Jika karakter sebelumnya hanya berfokus pada serangan, karakter Ningguang justru sebaliknya. Karakter Ningguang memiliki kekuatan elemen Geo. Karena itulah karakter yang satu ini biasa menjadi tembok pertahanan para pemain lain. Klee (DPS) Berikutnya ada Klee dengan kekuatan elemen pyro.

HIIII! What weapon does each ro use to fight? who would say is the best fighter?
OH i do in fact adore this question, the answer may not be super interesting though :')
[under the cut!]
BEST > WORST
Marin > Valiev > T. Bellefleur > A. Bellefleur > A. Caras
an MC who specialises in combat/military would probably be between the Bellefleurs (and then between Valiev and T.B if they keep training)
WEAPONS
A. Bellefleur; usually a spear of some kind, a long-range stabbing weapon, with a decorative base emblazoned with the royal seal
K. Valiev; your generic broadsword, standard edition for the guards, though their's has an ornate handle
A. Caras; strangely knuckle-dusters! they occasionally use their training for nefarious deeds (read; they coat the edges in experimental poisons/chemicals)
T. Bellefleur; a claymore, with a homemade charm hanging from the handle (they are deceptively strong beneath their lean body), the royal seal has been crudely scraped off for the most part
M. Serrel; daggers, always kept lethally sharp and well polished, there is something engraved in the handle but they never let you (or anyone) close enough to read it

Messianic Aureation
Chapter 9: A Clash of Ice and Fire, A Dance Between Life and Death
Tumblr media
Summary: Faced with a bloodthirsty Diluc, Cara has no choice but to put her training to the test and take him on in a fight. Will Albedo's teachings and her own allies be enough to save her from his purging flames, or will the hounds finally seize and kill their prey?
9th chapter is up! Things get intense! Enjoy the chapter! :)
Chapter 10 is here
Tumblr media
“Diluc,” Cara breathed, terror instantly consuming her as she stared at the man in front of her. “Wait, please. I can explain-”
Diluc didn’t give her a chance to finish. He lunged, his claymore swinging straight for her neck. Cara used her sword to block the blow. There was a metallic shriek when both blades connected, and she found herself struggling with all of her might to prevent the claymore from cleaving her head right off of her shoulders. Diluc’s strength was unlike anything she had ever faced. Fatigue rapidly set in as her arms shook from the strain of the larger weapon’s weight.
“Explain?” Diluc hissed. “Explain? You have nothing to explain to me, heretic. I have no intention of making conversation with you. I’m here to kill you, and nothing else.”
A blast of wind struck them both. Diluc winced when the mountain air cut into his cheeks, but it flowed around her like water. Cara silently thanked Teyvat for the distraction, summoned every ounce of muscle she had, and pushed him back. The greatsword tipped. He staggered from the momentary weight imbalance, and she took the opportunity to dart away and make for the path that would bring her back to Albedo’s camp. If Diluc didn’t want to talk to her, then fine, she wouldn’t try. She could already tell he was beyond reason. The unnatural red of his eyes proved that he was lost in the fog of the Madness, and it wasn’t going to lift anytime soon.
She felt something lash around her ankle and force her feet to slip when it was given a harsh pull. Cara yelped when she went crashing down, her sword escaping her grasp and skidding away from her as she did. When she looked back, she saw there was a chain holding her captive, and on the other end was Diluc, who held it tightly in both hands with the tail wrapped around his wrist. Oh yeah, she remembered. He can use chains. And then she screamed when Diluc yanked it back and dragged her away from her only outlet to freedom and towards her inevitable doom.
“You're done running,” Diluc said seethingly. “We have spent a month searching for you, a month with no success until now. It ends today.” He positioned the blade of the Serpent Spine claymore over her chest, right where her heart was frantically beating. “Goodbye, imposter.”
Cara watched as the greatsword came rushing down, ready to pierce through her flesh and shatter the force of life within her. She shrieked out a desperate protest. “Diluc, please, wait!” But he didn’t wait. He didn’t twitch, didn’t falter. There was only steely resolve as he went to deliver the killing blow.
There was a flash, the glint of a blade, and Cara waited for the Serpent Spine to find its place within her chest. But it never happened, because someone new suddenly appeared right in front of her with a burst of light. A sword deflected the claymore.
 No, not someone new.
 It was Kaeya.
The cavalry captain stood in front of her and brought his Black Sword down upon Diluc’s chain. It shattered, giving her release. Cara couldn’t believe her eyes. Was he actually here? Was this happening? “Kaeya?” she said incredulously.
“Your Grace, please, get yourself to safety,” he ordered her. “You need to leave, now.”
Diluc dropped the broken chain and let the hand holding his claymore go slack. “Kaeya,” he said, a strange surprise in his voice.
Kaeya didn’t let his sword lower. “Diluc.”
The other man stared, his eyes narrowed and scrutinizing, yet holding confusion too. “Why are you here? Why are you protecting her? Don’t you realize who this is?”
“Yes,” Kaeya answered. “She is the Almother of Teyvat. You and the entirety of Monstadt have been tricked. I need you to understand that you are fighting for the wrong Caratrice right now.”
“What? You can’t be serious. You're taking the imposter’s side? Are you mad?”
“Quite the opposite. I believe I’m one of the few Vessels in Monstadt who’s lucky enough to still be sane. Don’t do this, Diluc. I need you to fight whatever voice inside your head is telling you to kill Her Grace.”
Confliction danced across Diluc’s features. He grunted and squeezed his eyes shut. Cara noticed him stagger slightly, his frame swaying while he unexpectedly began to pant, seemingly in pain. Then his eyes shot open and he thundered with hatred dripping from his words. “You are a coward and a traitor, Kaeya! I should have known that you of all people would turn his back on Monstadt and Teyvat! If you wish for things to be this way, then fine! You can die here at the side of the imposter!”
“Kaeya.” Cara was growing increasingly agitated. “His eyes, Kaeya, they’re too red. He’s being consumed by the Madness!”
“Diluc, you need to calm down!” Kaeya yelled. “I know you can feel the Madness within you! It’s a disease that you need to purge! Just please, for once in your life, listen to me and trust me!”
But Diluc wasn’t doing either of those things. With a bloodthirsty scream, he swung his claymore at Kaeya, who quickly managed to block it. “Run!” he urged Cara, and then he unleashed a blast of Cryo straight into Diluc’s face. The other man stumbled back; Kaeya teleported behind him to grab the back of his cloak and throw him away.
The snowstorm raged, its high winds whipping with so much force, Cara thought it was going to rip the skin right off of her bones. A relentless battering of snow rained down from the sky and began to obscure Diluc and Kaeya while they fought. She simply stood there and watched blasts of fire and ice hit each other again and again. The sound of their blades meeting created a symphony of battle. Am I really going to leave them here to kill each other? she thought. Am I really going to run?
Diluc was going to kill Kaeya. She realized it the moment the fight began. With the Madness fueling him, his anger was unquenchable, and only when she was dead would he possibly be freed from it. With the extra power boost such anger gave him, Kaeya would eventually be overwhelmed. Am I going to let him die? Am I really going to run away with my life while he loses his?
No. She couldn’t. She wasn’t going to leave him here. She was done running. Now it was time for her to fight.
She grabbed her fallen sword and pelted into the fray. Purposely letting out a yell, she swung the Prototype Rancour at Diluc’s back. He noticed and abandoned his attack on Kaeya to block her-exactly what she wanted him to do, but now she was the center of his attention. “Bad move, heretic,” he sneered. “You should have run when you had the chance.”
Shards of Cryo slammed into Diluc. Coupled with the wind and the snow, he was lost in the cold and forced to fall back. “What are you still doing here?” Kaeya shouted at Cara. “You shouldn’t be here right now! He wants to kill you, don’t you realize that?”
“No shit he wants to kill me! But if I run, you die in my place!” Cara shouted back. “We can get out of this together! Two is better than one!”
Kaeya huffed. “Two against one means nothing when battling Diluc. Both of us are likely to get killed no matter how hard we fight.”
There was a loud thrum of fire, followed by Diluc shouting “Burn!” Out of the Pyromantic flames the phoenix appeared, and it rocketed towards the two of them at an even faster speed than it had before, unperturbed by Teyvat’s slashing winds. Cara grabbed Kaeya, held him close, and let her instincts take over. Her nerves sang, alive with her inner power; a burst of golden light lit up the entire world. The phoenix was vaporized by the rays of pure energy, and then the light retreated back into Cara as quickly as it had arrived.
Kaeya stared at her dumbfoundedly. “Did…did Albedo teach you how to do that?” he asked.
“It, uh, kind of just happens sometimes?” she admitted. “I don’t know how to control it yet.”
“Impressive,” Diluc said breathlessly. “But still too weak.” With his sword still covered in flames, he braced himself, then launched into the air. Somersaulting forward in a cycling glory of whooshing red, he slammed his claymore down in front of him when he landed. The impact sent flames shooting everywhere, but Kaeya managed to react before they were burnt to a crisp. He pointed his sword at them and sent forth a chilling blast. Cryo met Pyro; the ice and flames canceled out with a hissing fizzle. But then, out of the mist created by the two elements making contact, Diluc burst forth with his greatsword aimed right for his brother. He had expertly used the concealing vapor to hide his attack.
“Kaeya, watch out!” Cara cried. She shoved him out of the way just in the knick of time. The action was instinctual; she saw how close he was to meeting his death and prevented it. Kaeya fell into the snow, safe from harm. But now, she was in his place. And Diluc had her right where he wanted her.
She hardly registered it when the Serpent Spine slashed directly through her right eye.
She did register how she was thrown back from the sheer impact of being hit with such a heavy weapon. She fell onto her side with pain blossoming through her entire body. Her right eye’s sight immediately vanished under a heavy flow of blood surfacing from the wound. It dripped down her cheek, splattering against the snow, gold against white. Her right hand, abandoning her Prototype Rancour, pressed gently over the injury. When she lowered it, she saw her palm completely painted over with her blood.
Kaeya screamed her name. To her, he sounded muffled and distant. Sharp ringing and her own heavy breathing were all she could really hear. It hurts. It burns. I can’t see. I can’t fucking see. All she could focus on was the sight of her blood on her hand. She couldn’t talk. She couldn’t even think.
She looked numbly up at the looming form of Diluc walking menacingly towards her. With his claymore still on fire and his features partially hidden by the snow, he looked like a monster straight out of the Abyss. She didn’t move when he prepared to take her life like he did before Kaeya rescued her. She was rendered immobile by the shock of what had just happened.
Diluc raised his claymore. As he looked at her, he hesitated, a small moment of clarity appearing when he observed what he had done. He grimaced and shook his head like he was attempting to rid himself of a voice whispering commands into his ear. But whatever was possessing him prevailed; all hesitation was quickly abandoned, and with a guttural yell, he brought the greatsword down.
Before the blade could end her life, a sudden blast of purple energy leapt over Cara’s head and slammed into him. There was a distinctly wolf-like howl as the entity sent him flying backwards into a giant pile of snow. A figure emerged from the crackling light, and their clawed fist punched Diluc square in the jaw. He went limp, finally knocked out and defeated.
Two cold hands gently turned her face away from the boy standing over Diluc’s collapsed body. Kaeya hissed a curse through his teeth when he saw the condition of her face. He looked absolutely horror-stricken. “Fuck, Cara, your eye. I can’t even see it, it’s-it’s-” His thumb strayed across her right cheek. Pain followed the tender gesture, and she whimpered out a small “Don’t.” Kaeya drew back as if he had been burned. “We need to get you to Albedo. Let me help you stand.”
“Kaeya,” she peeped, voice thin and weak. “Kaeya, my eye. I can’t see out of my eye.”
“Shh, I know.” Kaeya took her arm and draped it over his shoulders. Carefully, slowly, treating her as if she were a fragile doll, he pulled her up. Her legs wobbled and she was forced to lean against him to keep upright. “Stay with me for a little longer, okay? Razor and Bennett are here to help too.”
“Razor?” she echoed. “Bennett?” Her good eye strayed to the two boys observing Diluc. Both of them turned to look at her; indeed, she was met with the sight of the wolf boy and the young adventurer.
“Cara!” both boys exclaimed. Bennett visibly paled when he saw the condition of her face. “Oh my gods. Diluc, he-he-!”
“Help me get Cara back to Albedo’s camp,” Kaeya told them. “Don’t talk about it.” His tone was haunted and quavering. Cara was idly reminded of the fact that he knew exactly what she was going through right now. “Quickly now, she’s losing a lot of blood.”
“How did you guys know I was here?” Cara murmured to Bennett. They started to make the slow descent down the hill from whence she came. “Albedo…did he tell you?”
“No,” Bennett replied. “You called for us. We felt you crying for our help. Our Vessel powers activated and immediately took Razor and me here to protect you. Kaeya was called here first, probably because he’s the strongest out of all of us and had the better chance of defeating Diluc.”
“Vessel powers…activated?” Cara murmured. “Oh. It’s like when I switch between the characters in my party when I play. Makes sense, I guess.” Her head hung forward. “I-I think I’m going to throw up.”
“Just hang on for a little longer,” Kaeya urged. “We’re almost-”
An arrow whizzed by his face and missed his cheek by an inch. All four of them turned to look back. Standing at the top of the hill was Amber with her bow drawn and a flaming arrow pointed right at them. She was shouting something to the other two figures who were struggling to get Diluc up on his feet. Though her good eye was going fuzzy, Cara vaguely recognized them as Mona and Rosaria. However, anything the three women were saying was lost over the wind. The blizzard had peaked, and everything around them was blocked out by white except for the path before them. It seemed that Teyvat was aiding their escape in its own supernatural way.
Razor growled and shook his fist at the other three Vision users. Kaeya grabbed his wrist before he could go back and pick a fight. “Keep going,” he said. “We’re going to lose them through the snowstorm. Focus on what matters right now. Cara, are you still with us?”
Cara couldn’t answer. By then, she had already passed out.
Tumblr media
 Where is she?
Albedo had long since abandoned his experiments on Cara’s blood. For about ten minutes now, he had been simply staring outside and watching the snowstorm grow deadlier and deadlier. She would have returned the moment she noticed the blizzard arriving. Did she get lost? Or could she still be training?
No. Cara was diligent and dedicated, but not stubborn. He knew she would have returned to the camp immediately upon seeing the weather worsen. It wouldn’t be the first time a lesson of hers would have been cut short by Dragonspine’s cruel environment. So where could she possibly be?
“Mr. Albedo, what should we do?” Sucrose asked him. She had arrived only two minutes ago upon a request he sent her yesterday to help him unlock the true connection between Cara’s powers and her blood. “Should we go out and look for her? What if she’s trapped in a snowbank? What if she’s-she’s-?”
“Dead?” Albedo finished the sentence for her bluntly. “No, she is not dead. If she were, we would have felt it. As for if she is lost…I don’t think Teyvat would allow that to happen. I already have evidence that the world will manipulate itself to protect her.”
“So if she’s not lost, and she’s not dead, then…”
“Something-or someone -found her.” Just saying it made his artificial heart beat quicker. Albedo recognized the erratic pulse as a symptom of fear. As a self-proclaimed pursuer of the truth-to understand human life and what makes it integral to this world’s very existence-he had performed studies on his feelings and emotions. Rhinedottir created him with the intent to bring forth human life, and she had succeeded. Albedo’s birth was not natural. He was a product of science and alchemy. But he knew he was undeniably human. And he knew that these emotions he felt when he saw, heard, or even thought about Cara were human too. The idea of losing her…of watching her die…it was an idea he couldn’t handle. For years he had known himself to be a dedicated follower of Her Grace. He had dreamed of the day when he would meet the true Caratrice in person. And now that she was here with him, after getting to know the mortal side of her so well…if the brainwashed Vessels of Monstadt were to take such a kind soul from him, from everyone, he didn’t think he would be able to contain his rage. Because despite being a god, Cara was, on both a surface and deeper level, human. She didn’t think like a god, didn’t judge like one, and didn’t even fight like one. She did not want to hurt those who were sent to kill her. She just wanted to live. There was something so undeniably human about that.
“I could go out and find her,” Klee offered. His little sister was not her usual bubbly self; young children were typically immune to such dismal concerns like the worry of death or the idea of never seeing someone again. But the anxious atmosphere had managed to infect even her. “I can melt away the snow. We’ll find her super quickly if we use fire!”
“It is far too dangerous for you to venture out of the camp in this weather,” Albedo said. “Even with a Pyro Vision and winter clothes on, either of you could easily get lost and end up freezing to death. The only one who can do it is me.” Temperature did not affect him as it would to a normal human being. His synthetic nature allowed him to withstand extreme climate conditions for a longer period of time. But even he would eventually succumb to the blizzard. That wouldn’t stop him from rescuing Cara, though.
“I’m going out.” He stood up and drew his hood over his head. “Do not follow me. Someone needs to be here in case she finds her way back on her own. I’ll find her, I promise.”
“Um, Mr. Albedo?” Sucrose pointed outside. “There…seems to be someone running towards us.”
Albedo turned around. Surely enough, she was correct: through the thickening snow, there was a figure. “Cara?” he called out, relief and hope crashing upon one another at once.
The person flung themselves into the shelter of the camp and started dog-shaking snow off of themselves. It was not Cara; the white hair and brown cloak gave it away. 
“Razor!” Klee cried, delighted. “What are you doing here?”
“No time to talk! Must act!” Razor grabbed Albedo’s arm and shook it. The young wolf boy was absolutely panic-stricken. “Cara hurt bad, big cut on her face! Bleeding everywhere! Come help, quickly!”
Albedo felt his heart sink. His fear returned tenfold. “Sucrose, prepare the medical supplies,” he ordered. “Klee, grab some fresh cloth and fabrics.” He grabbed Razor’s shoulders and looked him in the eye. “Take me to her.”
Razor wasted no time. Grasping his arm to guide him through the storm, they started off.
Only a few seconds later, they nearly crashed into three other people. Albedo recognized Kaeya and Bennett immediately. When he saw the limp form of Cara being carried by the both of them, he thought his heart was going to freeze over. “This way!” he screamed over the howling of the wind. With Razor’s help, they found their way back to the camp.
Albedo could not tell if Cara was breathing.
“Lay her on the cot,” he ordered. “Take off her cloak and loosen her clothing. How long were you out in the snowstorm?”
“Not long,” Bennett answered. “Maybe for…two or three minutes?”
“It takes hypothermia at least ten minutes to develop in the Dragonspine climate. The four of you should be fine in that outlet.” He leaned over Cara and started to search for the cut Razor mentioned. It wasn’t hard to find, though he could tell that this was no simple cut. This was a laceration, a wound. It ran across her right frontalis muscle through her eyebrow and ended over her cheekbone. Her eye was completely caked over with golden blood. He could barely see the actual wound beneath the amount of aureate ichor. He felt like crying.
His hand went to her neck and felt for her jugular vein. It was pulsing, not at its full strength, but not too weakly either. “She’s unconscious, most likely due to pain and shock. But she’s alive, and she’ll be alright. Sucrose, hand me the gauze and cleaning pads.”
Sucrose obeyed. Kaeya, Bennett, Razor, and Klee crowded in to watch anxiously as he began to clean her wound. He worked diligently and carefully, all of his focus set on saving his god.
At last, the exposed blood was wiped away, and Albedo could see the point of contact. The horrid gash cut directly through her closed eye; he was expecting the damage to be worse, but miraculously, the skin already seemed be stitching itself together. “Thank Celestia for your immortality, Your Grace,” he murmured. “If not for that, you would certainly be blind in this eye for the rest of your life.”
With Sucrose’s aid, the wound was bandaged and wrapped. Albedo gathered the bloody cleaning pads and disposed of them. “Her condition is stable for now. There are no symptoms of hypovolemic shock, hyperthermia, or sickness in any way. If you hadn’t gotten here when you did, however, she most definitely would have fallen into a state of extreme distress.”
“So she’ll be okay?” Bennett asked, hopeful.
“Physically, yes. Mentally…I don’t know.” He tried to keep his voice even, but the hidden anger roiling within his gut had grown stronger and stronger. “Who did this to her?”
Bennett and Razor exchanged glances. A beat of nervous silence went through the camp. It was Kaeya who eventually spoke up. “Diluc,” he said with bitter disappointment. “I tried to stop him after I was summoned to protect Her Grace by the Creator’s Call. But the Madness is ingrained in him, and it…it didn’t matter how hard Cara and I fought. In the end, he overpowered us both.”
“It wasn’t your fault, Kaeya,” Bennett sadly said.
Kaeya didn’t answer. He looked away.
Sensing no one else was going to offer some words, Albedo spoke up. “We are all upset about this. But let’s put our emotions to the side for now. All that matters right now is that Cara heals and we stay out of the way of danger. I’m going to have to ask you all to remain here for the night. I doubt the hounds will be in Dragonspine for long with this blizzard still going, but regardless, it will be safer for you to keep out of sight.”
Klee, always wanting to lighten the mood, smiled. “Yay, a sleepover!”
“Klee, not now!” Sucrose hushed.
“It’s alright,” Albedo assured. He smiled back. “Keeping a positive attitude matters a lot right now. Do not see this as a time to grieve. Cara will wake up again.”
He looked at her face. The sight of her mangled, burnt skin was etched into his mind. Multiple emotions were within him: guilt, anger, sadness. He took one of Cara’s limp hands and gently squeezed. There was no reaction.
I care more about you than you will ever know. Without you, we all will perish, whether it be beneath the claws of Armageddon or under the tyranny of the false Creator. So if you can hear me, I beg of you, please heal, Your Grace. Please don’t leave us.
Please wake up.
