What do you think of the concept of yan!xiao, childe venti trapping their darling in a teapot?

I feel like they would be less restrictive since the darling wouldn't necessarily be able to escape most likely, so they wouldn't worry about restraint much. Esp in Ventis case...he is the God of freedom so while his darling isn't exactly 'free' they're still kinda free in a way that they have their own world to be free in?

Xiao would probably be somewhat restricted, but only just keep them in the house because he probably wouldn't trust them to be by themselves yet--he figures they may try to run off and hide from him or something

Childe would probably let them try to "escape" on purpose and would be absolutely amused when his darling finds out they wouldn't be able to leave

(cw: yandere, captivity, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, mention of children and implied stockholm syndrome for childe’s part)

Venti doesn't exactly lie to you, but he does trick you. He's aware that it's not the nicest thing to do and that it's not exactly captivity if you're living in a world that resembles the one outside. Only this pocket-sized world is nicer and happier and there aren't any people to get in the way. He tells you about it when you're vulnerable. Maybe you're drunk or you're crying your eyes out because something horrible happened. Either way, you're not in the right state of mind when you make the comment: "I wish I could live in my own ideal world for just one day." And this is great news for Venti because it makes relocation so much easier.

He shows you the teapot and explains it briefly, leaving out certain details. It's better if you don't know everything about how the teapot works. After all, ignorance is bliss. Venti tells you how to get in, but he doesn't tell you how to get out. And the way he describes it makes it sound so tempting—as if living inside this teapot for a bit will cure whatever's bothering you. You decide it wouldn't hurt to spend a day or two inside the teapot to see the little world Venti holds in the palms of his hands.

It's a lot of fun at first. You and Venti glide from the top of the mountains in Emerald Peak, he sings melodious ballads as you look up at the sky, and the two of you play hide-and-seek inside of the house, playfully popping out of rooms and laughing when you’re caught. Eventually the charm wears off and you start to yearn for the outside world. It’s not the same in the teapot. As pretty and peaceful as it may be, it still feels so empty. And when you bring it up to Venti he finds small ways to change the subject. It probably plays out like this:

“Venti, I’d like to go home now.”

“But we were just about to play another round of hide-and-seek! Come on! Don’t be a spoilsport! One more round? Then we’ll leave.”

Or he’ll tell you that you’re already home. There’s always a big smile on his face when he says stuff like that. He’s happy that he gets to spend so much time with you and no one can interfere. But it does get annoying when you start to beg for the old world. Your pleas to leave will fall upon his deaf ears. Venti does feel a little bad when you start to sulk, but his sympathy is short-lived. Let’s not forget that you were the one who wanted this. You wanted to live in your ‘ideal world.’ And isn’t this ideal?

As an adeptus, Xiao is aware of Sub-Space Creation and the effort it takes to construct a presentable teapot. He’s been working hard on his ever since you came into his life. Before he knew you he didn’t have a reason to put effort into it because he stays at Wangshu Inn, but after he met you he started working a lot harder. He tries to make the teapot as comfortable as possible. You mentioned you like dogs or cats in passing? You can find a few in the teapot. You said you like berry bushes and flower fields? There’s a bunch in his teapot. He probably has a nearly perfect model of your room in there as well. Before he brings you into the teapot, he’ll often sit in that room and make sure everything replicates the original, down to the bed frame and the fabric used for the pillow case.

He’ll put some of your things in it just so it feels more personal. Xiao knows he’s stealing from you whenever he does this, but it’s not like you ever noticed anything was missing. Besides, it’s all going in the teapot anyways. You won’t even need your real room or mortal possessions anymore. Xiao is actually quite proud of the teapot and manages to fool himself into thinking you’ll like it, too. And you do (for the first few days, that is). He’s very forward with his question of whether or not you’d like to see his teapot. And you eagerly nod because the two of you are friends and Xiao wants to show you something he made and he looks a little…excited? There’s definitely light in his eyes when he gets your agreement to view the inside of his teapot.

Once you’re inside, you’re genuinely surprised. It’s far more beautiful than you could have ever imagined. The Floating Abode is a really gorgeous landscape. You’re so caught up in looking at the sunset and the flowers and the animals that roam the teapot that you aren’t aware of the horrors that lie just beyond. You’ll find the room that resembles yours in no time and it’s really creepy. As much as you try to tell yourself that Xiao means well and wouldn’t actually do something like this on purpose, it’s hard to ignore the fact that everything is practically identical to your room. It’s so, so strange. You want to ignore it, but you just can’t. It’s so obvious.

It’s definitely creepy, but you don’t have the heart to tell him.

You hold your tongue because you don’t want to hurt his feelings. You’re really the only close friend he has, so you’d feel bad if you insulted his interior decorating skills. Xiao’s pleased to hear that you like it so much. Praise falls from your lips like a waterfall and it gives him a sense of relief. He’s so happy that you like it and since you’re okay with it it’ll be fine if you live here. When he tells you that, your brain freezes and you’re not sure how to respond.

“Live here? Like…permanently?”

And to your shock he nods.

Xiao is far less lenient than Venti. With Venti everything feels like eternal, childish fun with the idea of freedom sprinkled in. But with Xiao it’s definitely a harsher form of captivity. You aren’t allowed outside because he’s worried you might fall off of the bridges that connect the floating islands or you might try to find your way out of the teapot. So you’re confined to the mansion. It’s got everything you could ever need and the interior design matches that of your home perfectly. Just treat it like it’s your own home and it won’t be so bad. You definitely try to see the good in this situation because you care about Xiao, but it’s so hard when he’s keeping you here like you’re just another addition to his teapot.

It’s miserable, but at least you can count on him to visit you every single day.

Childe is very receptive to the idea of owning his own little world in a small teapot. Maybe he was holding you captive before he came upon the teapot and while you’re sleeping he relocates you. You don’t expect to wake up in a new location, but you assume you’re still somewhere in Liyue. Childe finds it cute that you’re so startled, clearly confused with the change in scenery. And when you glance at the surroundings on the Cool Isle, it feels like you might have a chance. Childe seems to think so because he waves you off, telling you with the sincerest voice that you’re ‘free to go.’

You don’t need to be told twice and so you run because you’re invigorated. You can leave and he’s not coming after you. Childe doesn’t even raise his bow in warning. You’re actually leaving him and he’s letting you! But it feels too good to be true. A day passes and you learn that there’s no one else to help you. So you find an empty shack on the shoreline and you hide in it because survival is the only thing you know right now. And the day goes by, the night comes, and morning makes its arrival. You’re still safe. He hasn’t found you.

And it really feels like you can make it out of this. Even if there’s no one around, you can still find something to help you. You’d take anything at this point. By the end of the week, you’re losing sight of your goal and you really just want to head back to the mansion and nap on a comfortable bed. You’ve been catching the crabs and the fish and doing what you can to start a long-lasting fire. When Childe finds you, you’re so exhausted from running and hiding that you collapse into his arms. And he smiles so sweetly while he tells you something that shatters your entire world.

“You did well, comrade, but this isn’t Liyue. You have no need to run.”

It’s not even Teyvat. It’s another world entirely—one existing solely within a teapot. And everything comes crashing down when you realize just how impossible that makes any escape attempts. No human contact. No energy or life that comes from meeting with friends and seeing family. It truly does feel like you and he are the only people in this world.

Childe knows that you’ll adjust to this new world whether you like it or not. It was fun to toy with you in the beginning (and it still is) when you didn’t realize this was the world inside the teapot. But now he just wants to settle into a comfortable life. He takes every chance he has to visit you and eventually you’ll find yourself succumbing to the relaxing pleasures of domestic life. You learn how to cook delicious meals with Childe’s help, you collect seashells on the shore to cure your boredom, and you’ll take care of any chores or housework. It warms Childe’s heart to see you accepting this life.

Maybe the two of you can start a family. Maybe he should get a few pets to liven up the house. It’s not like you can get away from him while inside the teapot, so it’s a recipe for anything to happen. And you’ve come to learn that what happens in the teapot stays in the teapot.

Delve In The Depths. Chapter II.

Word Count. 1.5k

a/n. Just a quick btw, Meno gave Xiao the nickname "Emerald duck" because emerald ducks have greenish teal stripes on their heads and Xiao has teal undertones in his hair.

Trigger Warnings. Mentions of death and violence

Series Masterlist

Chapter II.

Again and again these waves crash over Xiao's subconscious. Riptides of lost human dreams, the tsunamis of guilt, and the eons of pain build each other up, growing larger as they drown him in endless suffering. Waves of black vapor cloud his person. He clutches his mask

He can hear their screams now as he writhes on the top floor of Wangshu Inn in agony, barely supporting the weight of his body with his arms leaning on the balcony rails.

"Xiao, Xiao!" he turns his head to see Verr Goldet franticly searching for him.

"There's someone downstairs, the-they, Verr Goldet stutters on her words, waving her arms around unlike her usual composed self.

Xiao doesn't wait for to finish, he grabs his pole arm by reflex prepared to strike the threat down.

Instead he's met with a person grappling with pain on the floor.

"Why slime condensate exactly?"

"Hm?" Xiangling gives you a genuinely confused look despite it not exactly being the social norm to add slime liquids to a meal. She was climbing up a sandbearer tree. The striped squirrels on the ground scatter upon her arrival.

"What gave you the idea to add slime into your dishes?" you clarify, trying not to come off as rude. Tossing the wicker basket between your hands as a form of entertainment while your culinary friend ducked her head underneath a branch.

The trees ruffle and flocks of crimson flinches and golden flinches fly off to the sky as Xiangling forages around in the tree branches for bird eggs.

"What gave you the idea that not everything is edible?" she playfully teases, now placing bird eggs by sets of two in the basket she previously gave you in Wanmin Restaurant.

You giggle, covering your hands with your mouth. She motions for you to put the basket down and come over while she grabs you by the shoulders ("Don't you dare-") and hops down. Unfortunately, you aren't heavy enough to support her body weight when she jumps down with her full force.

"Ugh!" you groan as you both tumble down to the floor. You raise a hand to your head and cover your forehead. "Was that really necessary?" you sigh, already far too used to her antics. She snickers.

As you regain your footing, you ask, "How far along are we exactly? My mother will have an aneurysm if we step foot in Moon City.*" Xiangling had already run off, and with the basket no doubt.

You look to your right and find her by the lake counting hydro slimes behind a crack between a few slabs of stone. You crouch down besides her. Her charcoal hair brushes against your mulberry silk skirt.

"1,2,3,4." Yes! this is definitely enough for my new dish!" she pumps her fist in the air.

You don't remember there being a lake to the far right in the places your mother told you to stick to.

"Let me guess," you strike a thinking pose, you want me to set up a new shop here for your new culinary competition?" you sarcastically muse.

She rolls her eyes. "No, silly I-," she stops at your amused expression. "Ah- well go on than."

You reach your arm to summon your now unsheathed dagger attached to the leather belt on your waist, ignoring the long bow and arrows attached on your back and rather choosing a melee weapon,

Standing up from your hiding spot, the group hydro slime flock, well bounce towards you.

The air turns frosty and Xiangling's teeth chatter while she rubs her arms in hopes of warming up. "Don't turn me into a chef popsicle before I get the slime condensate [Name]!"

As you kneel down to slam the stiletto dagger into sand, sharp edged flower patterns appear on the ground. The slimes teeter back at the sound chill between their mass before large icicles spring up, piercing their bodies and turning them into goo.

"Woo!" Xiangling jumps above the rock pile and excitedly cheers. Pumping her arms up. "That's my girl!"

"It was nothing really. What was it you needed next again? Of course after you've collected the slime condensate of course." you stop talking as Xiangling sweeps the slightly frozen slime fluids off the crystals you've created into a glass bottle.

"Well talking about other ingredients, I actually wanted to try something." she mentions with a certain twinkle in her eyes.

"You have my attention." You wave your hand at her to go on.

"You know that cooking competition? The one I had in the Mondstadt with the chef named Brooke?"

"I don't recall you telling me that, can you specify?" racking your brain for memories of Xiangling's rantings about food. You suddenly feel drops of sweat on your back despite not being lukewarm at the very best. It must just be from the excitement from fighting the slimes, you think pushing away your other thoughts on the matter.

"Well anyways, we found this extinct species of boar with the help of the traveler, I believe they're called the honorary knight now?" she taps her chin. "That's besides the point but, anyways, it made me think of the different varieties of possible meat options I could use with different monsters. Can you go with me north of Jueyun Karst with me to find a Stonehide Lawachurl?" She claps her hands together into a begging motion. "Please, Please?"

"Mhm, I'm not sure how fast we can make it there? You didn't hear my question before when I was asking where we were before. I'm planning on packing my bags early when I go home overmorrow." you say counting the possible time it would take you to pack all your belongings. Black spots appear in your vision. You open your mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.

"Hmm, I'd say if we're lucky, a few hours? It's lucky that it's still the early morning huh?" Xiangling turned her attention to you from the mushrooms she was picking underneath the trees.

"[Name]?"

She looks over to see you on your knees, black substance withering out of your body. Sweat drips down your forehead.

She frantically shakes you, but your vision has gone black.

"[Name]!"

The blood on Bosacius' arm dripped to the ground creating a thin string trailing only to be diluted by the pouring rain water behind Bosacius and a certain teal haired adeptus. Bosacius gripped his injured arm with his other.

"You need to treat that wound," Xiao said, glaring at his fellow adeptus' wound. He could see the majority of Bosacius bone creeping out of his flesh. A familiar sight.

"Rest assured, I've been in worse state. I just never expect it to hurt as much as it always does," grimaced Bosacius through his smiling expression. The water soaked through his garments and drenched his hair.

"You sound like one of those mortals, trying to fight through their deathly injuries only not to see the next day," replied Xiao looking forward to their destination of Jueyun Karst. He could see the towering peaks getting larger and larger as they move on despite the misty atmosphere.

"We're all too mortal for our liking these days." said Bosacius, his expression unreadable.

The sound of steps softly crushing the blades of grass underneath them and thunder rumbling filled the air while their owners remained silent.

"Have you told Rex Lapis about the constant pain you've been experiencing?" said Xiao, breaking the silence.

Bosacius bit his bottom lip while his working hands, well, what was left of them tensed up. "No, I didn't see the need to bother him. I'm sure he has other pressing matters to attend to now, especially with the incline in aggression from monsters around Liyue Harbor recently. It's strange," The older man looked up to the sky, while Xiao had a distracted look on his face from thinking about the increased monster attacks. "I have yet to figure out the cause behind it."

"I believe Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper are free this evening, I'll ask them for their input on the situation later."

They had arrived at Jueyun Karst, the floating island in the middle of the adepti abode was lit up, symbolizing the availability of Cloud Retainer.

"I'd imagine we don't have the need to place an offering in the middle of the lake huh?" Bosacius winks at Xiao. Xiao looks down at the lake, full of ripple currently from the cloudburst. The empty bowl in the middle overflowed with liquid.

Bosacius gave a forced smile at his correct prediction of their fellow adepti's availability. "Well, I suppose it's best for me to head off and find Indarias to heal my wounds."

"That would be for the best." confirmed Xiao

"Thank you for accompanying me for this trip."

Xiao turned his back and Bosacius was gone

"Hey! Emerald duck!"

Xiao swore he heard the inter layers of hell again as he pinched the bridge of his nose

"Oh archons," he cursed under his breath. Menogias tumbled towards him, no grace or posture in her current childlike state.

*Moon City refers to Mondstadt as Mondstadt translates to Moon City in German.

a/n. Incase anyone was wondering the reader's constellation is "The Maiden" or "Virgo". I'm planning on making a character sheet for the reader soon, so watch out for that!

Them adding a new domain and housing in the same patch was a terrible move because most of my genshin time is now about hunting good wood hacking spots or other housing things and not fighting stuff.

I picked Emerald Peak which is nice but i kind of regret cause I want Floating Abode now but I can't switch till trust rank 8 and i am 4. In the meantime - to accrue adepti energy - i have stacked rocks randomly and placed random buildings and it's kinda crowded and i would like exterior area 2 now so i can spread out.

Also the serentea pot log says i need to visit someone and buy from their traveling merchant which I don't wanna do cause i play single player; i have one mmo co-op sucks. "Pokes discord friends*

Also, Dain needs to put his prickles away and Zhongli remains my favorite Archon. Venti, i like but no one takes him seriously and he deserves better but he's exhausting to like. Zhongli outlines his expectations and never wavers from that and it's nice to know where you stand instead of trying to translate evasiness or vagries. Zhongli never moves the goalposts or hides them and my brain is just on empty always so I appreciate his bluntness

saw you scrolling through the genshin impact tag!! distraction: what do you think of yanfei's va's? which house scenery ar you picking? what do you think about the tree chopping system (it's really weird imo?? idk)

Ahh, thank you very much! :D Your message is really appreciated.

I honestly don't have a strong opinion about Yanfei's VAs, especially since I've only heard her English VA so far. But I like Yanfei in general, she seems to be a great character and if I get her I'll definitely put her in my team. :)

As for the housing scenery, I chose Emerald Peak because I just love how majestic the mountains in Liyue look. I was considering going for Floating Abode at first but yeah, obviously that didn't happen.

Oh my, the tree chopping... I'm not sure what to think about it tbh. It was fun at first but I feel like it's going to annoy me at some point. However, I don't think it was a bad idea to implement something like this because it would also be weird if the materials just appeared out of nowhere. :)

Following the collapse of the Inquisition, she took to the place she knew best. Not home--though the Lavellan clan had never felt like home--but to the thick forests of the Emerald Graves. It was here that she built upon the legacy of the Inquisition; to fix the impossible. Her objective was clear, far more clear than the unfortunate series of events that had befallen her with the destruction of the Temple of Sacred Ashes and the loss of so many innocent, devoted lives. But nothing was impossible, and being put through trial after trial like a puppet manipulated by the hands of someone she trusted had taught her that.

For years she searched, and everytime she returned to care for her sister empty-handed, the surmounting, ever-building anger was evident within her. First in the way that she grit her teeth and tensed her jaw, then the tightness in her muscles visible through that of her flesh, and finally in the fire that burned within her eyes. It had first been mentioned by the doting spirit that gravitated to Cenah’s side as her condition worsened, a strange understanding and foreshadowing that he warned her of in the only way he knew how. It would leave the warrior vulnerable to hungry spirits pressing against the thin layers of the Veil that she traversed through, dipping through the Beyond via the ancient Elvhen passages that had been so carefully locked away by the very soul she had been hunting. But he had underestimated her, for she knew far more than he may have realized, or perhaps this too, was all part of his plan.

She spent years searching, climbing the highest peaks, searching every cavern, trekking through rain and sleet and snow, yet her spirit did not dwindle. Her search did not slow. The fate of a cruel world meant little, but the burning desire for revenge and the well-being of her suffering sibling was enough to force her onward; to encourage her tenacity and diligence across all of Thedas. A daunting task for a single soul, but she was never truly alone. Despite the turmoil, there were many who were still devoted to the Inquisition’s cause, and despite Ellana’s origin and reluctance, the connections she had were available for her use. Whispers of his trail reached her ears very rarely, often leading to dead ends and further frustration. Such ploys were perhaps necessary, however, for it gave her hints of his existence and a pattern of his whereabouts. Even if it meant her falling into whatever red herring he had planned, it gave her something to work off of--piecemeal, if you would, before the inevitable concluding reunion.

She had remembered the first time she’d caught a glance at him--one that he had not expected. Sore and calloused feet tread over the face of weathered rock, and it was beneath the canopies of the grave trees that her pace slowed. At her hip, her wolfish companion dipped its head towards the earth, wet nose sniffing the soil of the unseen trail before them. Ellana had watched with curiosity and without too much hope, but with enough trust in her animal guide. The din of night was upon them, and through the falling darkness, they had caught trace of something. With a lifted head and bristling hackles, her animistic guardian locked its attention unto something upon the horizon. Ellana followed its gaze, and at its end had been a dark wolf with unblinking, glowing eyes. Upon recognition, she took but a step forward which had ushered her protectorate into a frenzy. They took off instantly as if the animal in question had been the sought after prize of a hungry pack, and in its footsteps followed the former-Inquisitor.

There had been snarling and a snap, and as she pushed through the leafy foliage and thorny bushes stone-faced despite the sudden rupture within her chest and the beating of her heart in her throat. Rough bark scraped her forearm as she held her functioning hand ready on the lighter of two swords upon her hip, brambles biting deep into her calves as she skirted through the thick forestry only to catch her companion biting down unto the black tail of its prey. Its jaw released in order to snap down again, the intent to corner and subdue the fleeing wolf, but it had only given the other’s assumed form room to escape. Guided only by the blood the wounded creature left behind, Ellana tracked it deeper into the Emerald Graves, finding the track of four paws shift into a set of footprints, and through a hidden, now locked and inoperable Eluvian. Since, she had been wise to heed the attention her wolven guide gave, though even they had been more cautious from that point onward. That would not be the first, nor the last sighting Ellana witnessed, for the peering, glowing eyes became a familiar one through the darkness. But to give chase meant to play too easily into his hand, and she would not fall victim to his ploys again.

Despite Cenah’s waning health, she did as much as she physically could. she knew much; the Well of Sorrow gave her insight--knowledge to history she knew not before. As Ellana pursued every lead that she could, Cenah focused on what she learned about rifts and the Fade. Progress was slow, but they both knew very well that their success would not come overnight.

It had been years, but in time Ellana had returned to Skyhold; an indomitable fortress now left vacant after the Inquisition’s disbandment. Bundled with pelts around her shoulders and the white fur of her companion brushing up against the exposed parts of her legs, they moved through the familiar threshold of the stony walls. The biting wind gave way, though the warmth the halls once had illuminated with lit torches and the occupation of civilization had now been replaced with the chill of emptiness. Despite desertion, history sustained over the decades, and would continue to do so as long as the walls of Skyhold stood.

Banners emblazoned with an all-seeing eye and sword hung high upon stoney surfaces, a throne of not rulership, but judgement standing like a beacon of faith in order. Streams of sunlight permeated through the panels of stained glass, reflecting particles of dust that had once settled in the absence of humanity, for between unlit braziers, Ellana moved. Bare feet pressed into the cold stone before finally coming to ascend before the would-be throne she and Cenah had both come to occupy. First, she examined it--familiar with its edges and its faded fabric. Her functional hand had settled, fingers pressing into the wooden arm as her canine guide sat dutifully to its left. With a swift movement, Ellana too, had come to seat herself familiarly within its confines. The twitching, wooden fingers of her recreated arm had settled naturally upon her thigh with the seat’s barricade preventing its lack of use from sliding out of place. But it was here, calmly that she sat. Here that she waited, as if expecting an unannounced arrival.

A whisper upon the wind hummed within her ears, tousled locks, once angular and short, now framing her face in cascading tendrils of spun sunlight. Wisps of golden threads billowed across her sharp features and into her vision as the cool gust settled, drawing her attention down the foyer she had entered only recently. Her heart leapt, but her sombre expression remained. She did not expect his appearance, but she felt it. Within the walls where it began, he was bound to linger.

Her back arched and her posture straightened. With a confident lift of her head, the former-Inquisitor gazed down the length of her nose as a wisp of light floated into view at the end of the hall. It dissipated, and from around the corner he appeared, the glow of his staff dwindling as he entered. There was a hitch in his step, a pause as if to offer some sort of respect within the walls that he built with his own hands--as if the abode had been hers. In a way, it had been. Perhaps just as much as his, but that was precisely where they remained in every aspect of their existence. Where he, in his twisted attempts to free an enslaved people, was very much their exterminator, but Ellana would be his undoing.

His steps continued; a comfortable saunter within a fortress of his own, alongside a fond but painful stare. The eye contact was made and held, her focus unbreaking.

“Vhenan,” came a sorrowful sigh as he proceeded forth, a fond term of endearment Ellana had once believed, but now regarded with disgust and bitterness, but none of which was betrayed in her face save for the tightening of her jaw--a tell tale sign of her waning patience in the games he had pulled her through. “You deserve answers. More than I’ve offered you,” he began again without so much as reaching for his staff--unnecessary, it was. A simple prop, if anything.

“No,” she breathed, features twisting in the slightest ways. Slender brows arched, her nose wrinkling, but she had not turned her eyes away. If she had, he would have disappeared as quickly as he had arrived--never to be seen again until he deemed it feasible. So instead she resisted, and fought every step he took whether it was his physical encroachment, or emotionally charged.

Ellana leaned forward, the immobile, wooden digits sliding forward over the curvature of her knee, her free hand planted and curling around the other, like the strong root of a tree grounding her and urging her growth as she came to stand. As she had, the wolf at her side had done so in tandem with her actions, watching only after her slow descent from the raised dias. Without further desire for conversation, she reached for her weapon, resulting in a displeased response from the mage before her. In physical strength, she was far superior, but vulnerable to the magic he was capable of casting. This much was obvious in the clash of their specific assets, let alone the raw, unbridled power he was capable of summoning.

“You’ve done enough.” So much was perhaps a cue, for beyond the once-occupied walls of the Inquisitor’s chambers wandered the weakened Cenah. A shadow of the once bubbly counterpart that centered and stabilized her militant sister. Supporting her physically had been Nadas’ara, with whom Ellana’s relationship had been forever turbulent, but within such times of desperation, and clarification of an uncomfortable and foggy past, their unity was, perhaps, what was needed.

“And you will do no more,” Cenah finished weakly, and a flash of blinding emerald light obscured the warmth of the sun’s rays. Cenah lifted her hand into the air, a shaky albeit grand gesture as a seam of light surged through the room to tear a rippling hole in the veil large enough to engulf the room’s inhabitants and usher them into the fade. The process itself was simple enough, and that alone in theory would do little in the ways of ensuring the means to an end, however it was not the Fade’s reflection of Skyhold that they arrived within, but instead a dark void. Cold, twisted spires coiled upward, charred stone suppressed any and all light from beyond. A thick blackness choked out everything but a sheer trickle of light manifested by the veil; a single, dim beacon created by the veil itself, yet manifested into a single torch. Within the darkness, several sets of eyes gleamed, though their figures became instantly illuminated once the veilfire had been taken into the grasp of Nadas’ara, followed by the chamber’s sickly surroundings, and the copious glyphs now illuminated across every surface of the room.

Exhausted, Cenah shuddered within the grasp the hedge mage’s supportive arm, yet determination shone in her eyes. Far before them stood Ellana, a stalwart and defensive wall whose positioning suggested that, despite any effort Solas might have taken, he would not get so far as beyond her line of vision. She did not need to see who or what resided within the blackened city, nor would she allow any sort of curiosity to draw her eye. Instead she stood with her weapon before her, a light and maneuverable blade crafted by none other than Cenah herself, and prepared to do whatever she had to in order to end the game he crafted.

Behind her, the floor beneath Nadas’ara began to glow--a circle, a spell being cast as Cenah found her footing, and Ellana barricaded them. A gentle sheen reflected over them, a protective guard quickly cast before the lengthy summon Nadas’ara began. “No more,” she repeated as he proceeded forth, eyes of caged gods upon her, their whispers, anger, and eons of memories heavy within the air. Ellana swung her arm out, allowing her brisk momentum to assist in the movement of her blade. Pommel first, she thrust it towards Solas as she neared, despite the end of her weapon colliding with a protective barricade. He did not falter, but neither did she. Harder.

His limb extended, magic manifesting. She cut through the air and drew her blade over her shoulder before turning in place and using her body as a battering ram to disrupt his summoning. A crack formed, spiderwebbing out from the point of impact. Again. She pressed onward.

Sliding a foot forward, she engaged her core and pulled the blade up from behind her hip into a horizontal line, cutting through the defensive wall he’d cast. Hit after hit, she tore it down, opening up a window of opportunity. Solas had, in response, defended his body with the sturdy grip of his manifested staff. “Ellana,” he breathed, buckling under the strength and weight of her aggression, “listen to me--”

A cry in Elvhen came from the arcane warrior’s lungs echoed through the dark and suppressing confinement of the would-be prison, and beneath Solas sprouted another glyph. Emerald chains manifested and clamped around his ankles before spiraling up his legs much like snakes and anchoring him to the ground.

“Ma vhenan--”

Her strength overtook him, and in a heap they crashed into the ground. With her knees pressed against either side of his ribcage and her sword to his throat, Ellana loomed over him heaving; her chest expanding and depressing rapidly in a series of painful breaths. Her grip shook, but her body remained strong. Despite the encircling chains beneath her, his stolen mark blossomed with light to react in response to her fortitude, but all Ellana had been met with was a earth-shattering cry of agony bursting from Solas’ throat.

Cenah, who despite her state, who had suffered so greatly, drove a dagger through the mage god’s bicep, severing the major tendons instantly. She carved through muscle and sinew, and forced the blade’s edge through his arm entirely in order to sever the crackling anchor he had both bestowed and forcefully ripped from Ellana. Despite the years of emotional turmoil she had compacted into anger, the warrior’s shoulders shook, and it was the weakened rogue who found the strength that her sister did not have.

“I told you,” Cenah rasped through painful breaths, “I told you I’d come for your life. And for this.” But such an existence was a fate worse than death--to live for an eternity within the prison one created. No hope for escape or redemption, but instead the constant reminder of the atrocities committed and embodied within the existing members of the pantheon he’d imprisoned.

Blood pooled beneath her knees, just as it coated Cenah’s hands. She sheathed the dagger and stumbled to her feet, Nadas’ara sweeping forward to support her in time, offering both his body and staff for her to weigh her exhausted body upon. They stood as Ellana kneeled and cast her judgment for a final time not for the Inquisition or the security of Thedas, but for herself and for Cenah.

“Fen’Harel ma halam.” She uttered venomously as she leaned back, toes curling beneath the weight of her knees so that she could easily rise when she chose to. Instead, she leaned forward, weapon set aside in favour of reaching towards that of his face. Rather, her grasp fell short, and had instead curled around the wolfish jawbone that lay askew upon his chest. With an adamant pull, Ellana tore it from around his neck, then at last, rolled back and moved to stand.

“Mar solas ena mar din.” She warned as she stepped over him, reaching out to pluck the sword off the ground where she had disposed of it moments prior. She shook her head, sorrow now replacing the fiery determination within her eyes as the binding magic he had enacted upon the Elvhenan had now locked him within the inky walls of the Black City.

“Ar lathem, ma vhenan. Y mala suledin nadas.”

I’ve technically filled out every area and realm of my teapot... but now there are some updates I’d like to make, heheh. It never ends.

As a whole, there are three projects I still want to work on:

Liyue mansion in Floating Abode. I originally intended to furnish it as a museum displaying the Traveler’s collection of special items, but it was just too empty and didn’t feel right. Instead, I’m doing a little build I call “how dare you come to visit” ie pine screen hell. Of course, getting enough pine screens is slow going... I also added the Liyue gift sets in, since that seems to be how I like to roll.

Conch Court in Cool Isle. I do have a nice little boardwalk build that I can use (saved to replica), and it’s actually currently empty except for Faruzan’s outdoor set, since I don’t have anywhere else to put it. But I’d also like to build something based on the Silver Millennium from Sailor Moon. The Sumeru buildings are probably the closest we’ll get, but it’ll be challenging since I don’t have someone else’s base to start from lol.

Madoromi in Silken Courtyard. At minimum, I want to redo the sealed shrine using dynamic linking (embeded sets? whatever it’s called) since the current sinking is just too bulky. But I’m also considering changing up what is above it. The current small shrine between sakura is a little too plain. I compensated by putting in way too many foxes, but it’s just not cool enough. I’m going to look at some replicas and think about the options for now.

Once we’re past the new year, I’m also going to update the vista town in Emerald Peak, but that’s mostly for accessorizing, not any big structural changes. (Though eventually I also want to update the vineyard maze as well, but that will require more skill to get something I’m actually satisfied with. Also, a whole lot of load minmaxing.)
