" 倒れた子供たちへのオマージュ "
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

As Noir finally stepped foot in Liyue, he took one glance at the ring of clouds obscuring his view of Dragonspine peak. It had been something to calm him down most of the time, although it was a double edged sword. The calming effect of the pleasent memories he had at the peak, and the horror filled glimpse of the past. "Oh dear Celestia... Please don't let me meet Morax. Please don't let me meet Morax." He murmured repetitively.

It had been several days since the assassination of Rex Lapis and he dared not to enter Liyue in a time of peril. "Nyx.. you feel it to, right?" He whispered to the snake that slithered invisible by his feet. He have a pseudo smile to the guards, once out of the guards sight, his expression turned blank. The faint aura of a god swirled around Liyue, indicating that the geo archon was still alive.

"I never wanted to use this skill..." He grumbled, displeased of himself. His silver eyes turned gold, his slightly slitted pupils forming into diamond like pupils.

Auge des Betrachters, an ability that he burdened. The ability see from the heavens, and observe the mortals below. It also allowed him to see where are those immortals walking among the common folk....

He disliked it....

"Really? Pretending to be a funeral consultant? Really now Morax..." Noir sighed, blinking to deactivated his divine sight, as he quietly crept into Liyue.

"Mein Shattenmeister... I shall make sure that the lord of Contracts shall not come near you." Nyx hissed, still remaining unnoticeable by his side. Noir smiled, looking down at where she slithered.

"Much appreciated... Morax can sense divine aura better then Barbatos, so he's a problem." He sweatdropped, taking a sharp turn to avoid a ginger-haired man. Something about him made alarms flare in his mind.

"And if I can get a safe place to stay... Heed that... Harbinger, was it? Yes, the harbinger. He has the faint stench of the damn abyss." Noir scoffed, shoving his hands into his coat pockets.

The abyss... A place where time didn't matter, in which he had isolated himself after the death of Durin. Once, he revered the domain as his home... But over time, he had realized that the abyss turned others insane. Although he could not detest the realm, as it was a place he found solitude in.

"Argh... I thought Mond was difficult, Liyue seems to be worse." He groaned, striding down a dark alley and sinking himself into the darkness.

"Corvus." He murmured, and a shadowy crow erupted from the darkness. It's white eyes shined in gleam, excited to serve it's master once again.

"Should I send Corvus to Fischl?" He asked his familiar, fondly brushing his finger over the crowd head. "Amelia's familiar, Corvus... She know represents Ms. Fischls constellation." He smirked, but his familiar seems to protest.

"Corvus will not go to Das Fräulein Amelia's Descendant. He will be the one to spy on that abyss smelling man." Nyx corrected her master, acting like the mother she was. She snapped her head to the crow that revelled in their master's praise, glaring at it.

"You mangy crow, get to work!" She hissed, making the crow caw in defiance. Noir chuckled, "Corvus... Go follow the Fatui Harbinger. Don't get caught." He murmured, and the crow flew to the sky, turning invisible in the process.

"It really is odd that the familiars you've gifted to your Schattenkinder, return to you once they've passed." Nyx noted, only receiving a small hum from the Shattenmeister.
