Anyways, I hope to gain my creativity now again and keep updating.

——————————

Your head feels so heavy and your body feels completely paralyzed as you slowly open your eyes a little, but then you close them again.
You feel like you got smashed against a wall.

»wha...« you mumble, suddenly feeling thirsty as hell.

»y/n?« a familiar voice says, but you can barely understand it - your head is ringing.

»Tsaritsa!!« the voice shouts, then you feel a person getting up from your bed.

It was Childe, then followed by Tsaritsa entering the room.

»What? Did she-«

»Yes! She opened her eyes but- she hasn't moved yet.« Childe interrupts Tsaritsa without hesitation.

»Good. So everything went well in the end. Tartaglia, leave. You did your duty.« Tsaritsa then says, walking towards your bed and not looking back at Childe.

»Wait, but I-«

»Leave.« she growls, furiously looking at him.
Childe then quickly gets going, but he really does not want to. Something is up with him..

All you heard by now was Tsaritsa talking and saying something to Childe, but it's not clear what they're talking about. You can only slowly understand everything clearer and clearer after some time of coming back to reality.
You feel how someone sits down next to you again, looking at you.

»Wake up, precious~« the sweet voice of Tsaritsa says.
You slowly turn your head to her and slightly open your eyes, adjusting to the situation you're in right now.

»w- wa..ter..« you only mumble with a dry voice, making Tsaritsa quickly get up and taking the glass of water from a table - softly putting it to your mouth and making you drink it. You empty the whole glass, also feeling slightly better now.

»You must be really weak and fragile right now, huh? I'm so sorry.. but you'll feel better soon, trust me.« Tsaritsa says with a smile.

»I.. what.. ?!?« you suddenly gasp with a weak voice.
»i- is the mark- where is Zhong-«

»Huh? Oh, you don't have to worry about anything anymore. The mark is gone and so is Morax. You're free and you can finally fully join our adventure! I'm so glad to have you as our member now~« she replies happily.

»w- what..? Where did he go? Why did he.. leave?« you say, slowly remembering everything that happened - everything he said to you.

— Flashback —

Zhongli finally lets go of you after some time has passed and looks down on your motionless body.

»y/n... I am.. so sorry for this.. I didn't want it to come this way.. please, be strong, and please, wake up again..« He says with a tear rolling down his cheek.
»I promise, I'll make it good again, I will get you out of here and we-«

But before Zhongli can say anything else, he feels two pairs of arms grabbing him from behind and pulling him away from you.

»HEY! LET ME GO!!« He furiously shouts, but then another hand grabs his face.

»Ugh. Don't be so dramatic. She already decided to stay with us here, there's no hope for you left. You can leave now. Scaramouche! Signora! You two get him out of here.« Tsaritsa orders while wearing a bitter cold face.
