The Once Beautiful Sky. [GENSHIN IMPACT AU]

The Blaze Of Mondstadt

"I'll repeat, making non-alcoholic drinks is a waste of my time" A young girl spat, "It has-"

The girl was cut off. Screams of agony echoed around the area. Diona walked out of the Cat's Tail. Her eyes widened in shocked as she saw flames. Flames all around the place. The smell of smoke filled her nose, making her wheeze a cough. There was so much smoke. People were running away from Mondstadt. The once beautiful sky, now covered by a blanket of smoke. She felt something grab her hand. She was getting dragged out of Mondstadt. The people in the Cat's Tail also followed them. Diona didn't know what happened. She didn't even know who was dragging her. She took a look at the Cat's tail. It was on fire. 

Diona felt anger fill her mind. It didn't last long as fire spread around the area, and soon infront of them. Diona was pulled closer to the person, a geo shield forming around them. The person ran through the fire. Diona closed her eyes. She expected to be burned, but she opened her eyes. She was fine. She was outside of Mondstadt. She was safe. She looked up. A girl in a maid outfit saved her. She had short light purple. 

"Thank godness your safe.." The girl sighed.
"What happened?" Diona mummered.
"Someone set Mondstatd on fire" The maid said. 
"Who was it? Was it that jerk Diluc? Was it that child with bombs? Was it that weird boy that Barbara kept on healing?"
"It was..."

"Thank you Albedo!" Klee smiled with glee.

Klee was visiting Albedo. Albedo decided to send her back to Mondstadt since Kaeya was busy with something. You can't really trust Klee on her own as well. Klee was running ahead of him. Suddenly, Albedo saw smoke in the distance. Albedo grabbed Klee's hand. He ran as fast as he could. 

"Woah!" Klee screamed, "why are we going so fast?"
"Mondstadt, Sucrose, the knights. they're in trouble." Albedo muttered.
"So that's where Sucrose was" Klee added.

They finally were out of Dragonspire. They stopped for a bit so that they could catch their breath. Then they ran again. They followed the path. Of course, they did run into some slimes and hillicurls, but both of them had weapons, and killed them quickly. It felt like they were running for days, but they finally made it. Both of them shocked when they the blaze. Jean ran to the two of them. 

"We need your help!" Jean said, "some people are still stuck in there"
"What happened?" Klee asked.
"I'll tell you later, let's go!"

Albedo dove into mondstadt. It was so much different then he last remember. He ran around, trying to save someone. He saw some of the knights helping people. Kaeya, Lisa surprisingly, Eula...

He heard a scream.

It sounded like someone he cared for.

"SUCROSE!"

Barbara and Amber ran through Mondstadt. Calling out for people who were trapped, or too injured get out. Barbara was trying her best to extinguish the fire, but she couldn't do much but clear a path. They heard a small cry. 

"I'll check that out!" Amber called as she ran towards the direction.

Barbara continued trying to extinguish the fire. She noticed somone injured who was laying on the ground, burns covering their body. She took a deep breath for singing, while healing the poor person. She summonded her elemental skill, and it surrounded the person. She gave him a smile before they ran for the exits. She heard someone calling someone. 

"You don't have to do this" The man had a deep voice. He sounded serious. He sounded like Diluc.
"I'm tired of everything!" A young boy screamed. Barbara could tell that he was crying. 
"You didn't have to use your vision like this."
"Yes I could, everyone hates me, everyone thinks I'm weird!" 
"Timmie. You could of talked to Grace about it" 
"She was busy with Nora and Glory! I didn't want her to be disturbed!" 
"Your disturbing her right now."
"I can do whatever I want, she's dead."

Barbara ran to them. Timmie's smile was filled with glee. He had a vision in hand. Barbara was shocked. She would always see him sobbing to himself on the bridge. She never thought someone like him would turn to arson, but he looked like he was burning himself in the process. He had burns all over his hands and arms. She knew she had to help him. Timmies notices the nun. He sent some fire towards the two. Barbara rolled to the side while Diluc stepped to the side. His smile grew angry.

"Just leave me alone!" He cried while he made a wall of fire. 

Barbara had trouble getting rid of the fire. They could hear Timmie's chocked laughter, then sobs, then a thud. Barbara extinguished the wall. Diluc ran to Timmie, quickly picking him up. Barbara heard Albedo and Amber running to them. They quickly exited mondstadt. 

"Are we just gonna let it burn?" Rosaria sighed.
"Nope, Lumine said that they know  a certain archer that could stop the fire" Kaeya said.
"Thank goodness we made it alive" Fischl vocalized.
"Yeah, that was a close one" Bennett said while Barbara was healing him.

Childe and Lumine finally came. They quicly got rid of the fire. The sky was still a charcoal grey.
Everyone was outside. Some covered in burns, others had none. Amber and Albedo was taking care of Sucrose. She had burns and scars all over her. Lumine dragged childe back to Liyue. What a funny sight. Diluc placed Timmie on the ground, feeling a bit of pity for the boy. 

"Yahoo! How was every-" Venti said as he glided to everyone. He didn't noticed that Mondstadt was on fire.
