Fenghuang's Legacy || Genshin Impact Fanfic

Something Special (27)

Everyone always have something to share.

Something special, their experiences, love, happiness, and gift.

It's anything you can imagine, positively.

But, not all gifts are gifts.

Some may leave you with a huge scar on your back that won't heal.

It's something that's terrifying yet, it leaves a mark where you've changed as a person.

It is painful to bear, but everyone leaves a mark on you, and that's what it means to be remembered.

If it's physically or mentally, if it's for the bad or for the good, either way it will stay forever with you.

The only thing you can do is to accept it, ignore it and you'll stuck, fight it and you'll regret it.

We would always be surrounded by the things that always fight back against ourselves.

And it's something that have been normal for us, but it's still alien and strange for us to handle.

Not everyone is ready to move on, they're not always ready to go on the next big step to life.

It's something that's hard to comprehend but, as someone who experienced it, it's something that makes me who I am now.

Ahem...

If it's either the people that is told in this story or not.

At least they need to experience what life is and what it means, even though it ended up meaningless.

But, Atlas is starting to understand what it means to be alive.

What it means to be treasured by someone else.

A feeling that's too alien yet, too familiar.

It's weird.

It really is weird..

Atlas leaned forward to the railings of the bamboo bridge.

He looks over to the night sky of Liyue, it sure is pretty.

The beaming yellow ligbts of the citizens whom awake in the dark night.

Those who stay awake at late hours to earn something in return.

Either it's social needs or financial needs, it's important to them.

Even though, Atlas's job is very simple, it's not an easy task.

Saying the words that meant something is easier than doing it the task yourself.

Said some walking old encyclopedia.

Oh well, as long as he lives on, it'll be fine.

For sure..

"Oi, what are you doing here this late?"

Atlas turned his head to look his father in the eyes.

"I'm not a kid anymore, seriously" He responded,

Noch scratched his head and approached him, "Give this old-geezer a break.."

"But, don't you're still recovering?"

"I'm fine, really"

"You sure?"

"I'm sure" Atlas said, as he looks back at the night sky.

It's a strange relationship between them.

They know they're a family, but it's still strange.

As if talking to a dry brick wall, in isolation.
