A few days had passed since Ajax was taken in by Divan and already the Adeptus boy had grown to a teenager. His clothes stayed the same, just in a bigger size. Ajax wore a black sleeve like the one he has on his kimono type coat, but it was just the sleeve. His green eye glanced towards a bush behind him. "I know you've been following Papa and I. You can't hide you're presence from me, Fatui Harbinger."

A chuckle erupted from the Bush as a ginger haired male showed himself. "Figured out I was following the two of you, huh?" Ajax stood from his sitting position and faced the male, hand on the hilt of his sword. "What's you're busi-" A ferocious gust of wind cut Ajax off as he stuck his sword into the ground to keep from blowing away.

"Stormterror.."

-----------------------------

Divan was in Mondstadt when the sky grew dark and tornados appeared in the city. "I hope Ajax will be alright." The former Archon then saw Dvalin and used the tornado in front of him to his advantage. Using a windglider of his own design, white with light blue snowflakes, Divan landed onto the dragon's back, noticing the corrupt blood clots on the beasts back.

"You've been through so much pain.." The Archon mutters, placing a hand on the first blood clot. "Let me heal your sorrows.." A soft, misty glow emitted from the males hand as the corrupt blood clot began to vanish. Feeling the soft healing glow, Dvalin stopped the tornados.

"This feeling of coolness. Cryostasia, is it you?"

Divan smiled softly, now going to second corrupt blood clot and doing the same he did with the first.

"Yes, but alas, I no longer go by that name, Dvalin. No one has abandoned you, my friend. We all have gone to live new lives. But, I shall visit you soon."

"I thank you, my friend. As you are done with healing, I shall go back home and deal with some intruders."

Jumping from Dvalins back and hovering using his windglider, Divan bid the dragon farewell as the beast flew back to his lair while the former Archon gently glided back down into the city, only to see once he's landed a whole group of people. "Uh....You all...saw that?"

The sound of clapping broke the silence as Kaeya entered Divans vision. "You actually calmed down Stormterror. Seems we no longer have to worry." The former Archon folded his arms. "I have a way with beasts." Kaeya smirked. "You don't say. Why not join the Knights?" Divan frowned. "No thanks. Kind offer, but I'm a scientist and a Healer."

"Hey! Coat Guy!"

A squeaky voice called out, making Divan turn to the source. A fairy like creature was right in his face, startling the man. "Paimon wants to know just how you calmed Stormterror!" Uncomfortable, Divan slightly pushes Paimon away from his face. "I would tell you but I'm not going to." Paimon stomped her feet in the air and folded her arms, pouting. "AETHER! EYEPATCH WONT TELL PAIMON HOW HE CALMED THAT DRAGON!!"

A tick mark appeared on Divans head as he poured a Vial of Silence on Paimon. "What did- Why can't Paimon hear Paimon?!" Paimon would mouth but no one could hear her. "To keep you quiet, I poured one of my many vials of silencing on you." Divan folds his arms. "Oh, are you that scientist people have been talking about?" A new voice entered the fray. It belonged to the Traveller. "Yes. I am."

"Uhm...How long does your vial of Silence last?" Aether asked, staring at Paimon, who would mouth things but no sound was made. "Oh. About a couple more minutes. No need to worry too much." Divan tells Aether, walking past them to head back home. "Feel free to come by my place at Windrise, Traveller."

----------------------------

Standing tall, sword in hand, unharmed, Ajax stared at a beaten up Childe. "Give up yet?" Childe glared at Ajax, aiming his bow at the male, string pulled back. "Never." Just as Childe fired the arrow, a surge of ice froze his feet to his spot. The sudden feeling of the ice made Childe shiver. "My son put you in place, I see?" Divan says, sheathing his sword away, before frowning after taking a closer look at the Harbingers injuries.

Unfreezing Childe's feet, Divan told Ajax to take the male inside. "It seems you may have given this Fatui some fatal injuries." Ajax lowered his head as the male took Childe inside Divans house. Inside, Ajax sat Childe down on a bed while Divan hung his coat on the coat wrack and began to make medicine that instantly heals injuries once drunken.

"Why help a Fatui?" Divan sighs at that question Childe gave him. "Not all Fatui are bad." The male then laughed, causing Childe to look at the males back. "Well, if served under the right Archon, they're not all bad." Divan faced the ginger haired male, walked to him and gave him the medicine. "Drink it. It'll heal those injuries." He says, walking back to his work bench to tidy up.

Childe takes a sip of the medicine. It tasted.....very sweet? "What do you mean by, 'the right Archon'?" Childe asks, drinking the rest of the sweet tasting medicine. "That's for me to know and for you to find out." Divan says, sitting down in a chair at a table covered with books. "It's also getting late. You won't make it to Liyue Harbor in time."

"Papa! I know where you're going with this! I won't let him stay! He's Fatui." Ajax shouts, exiting his own room. Divan sighs. "Ajax. I know how you feel about this, but I've got no choice. Stop holding onto the past, okay?" Ajax sighs sadly. "Okay, Papa." Childe watches the teen go back into his room and shut the door, then turned his glance back at Divan.

Divan, knowing the look Childe was giving him, sighed and lent back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. "That boy," he started as Childe sat at the table across from the Archon. "He was experimented on by some Fatui Agents. He managed to escape with two Visions. Anemo and Cryo. That's when I saved him. Took him in, taught him to fight and control his Visions. Since then, he's hated the Fatui except for Zara and Moro."

A yawn escaped Divans lips. "He's.....*yawn* He's a good kid...." Eye closed, soft breaths escape the Archons lips as he falls asleep, head rested on his arms that lay on the table. Childe got up from the chair he sat in, found a spare blanket and put it over the sleeping form of Divan. "Forget the Tsaritsa. My loyalty is now with, Lord Divan. Aka, Cryostasia."
