Fenghuang's Legacy || Genshin Impact Fanfic

Innocence (37)

It was supposed to be a normal visit at least.

But, the tables have turned too many times now.

At that time the young boy couldn't understand the concept of goodbyes.

Yet, it impacted on him in some sort of way.

He couldn't recall how it feels, and he couldn't understand it either.

Those memories he spent with his mother was precious in the end.

However, seeing her own death and grave was too much for the young boy to understood death itself.

His father and sister, and many others of the people who her doesn't know was crying.

Whispering her name, apologizing, and it was certainly suffocating.

The young boy only stood there, looking at the grave that has been engraved by her name.

It was a sudden one, too sudden.

He looks at his father, his face was sorrowful.

Then, he looked at everyone, it was the same.

'Why? What's going on? Why's everyone's crying?'

He thought to himself.

The mere innocence of a child could understand the concept of death.

However, the young boy was never introduced to it.

So, to be met with a sudden one.

The world he used to know is a very cruel one.

Not made with the simple innocence of happy things.

But, dreams..

Broken dreams.

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

Many of old memories of Atlas came flooded through his mind completely.

The mind space that he was in that was normally a usual traditional room with a dreamy aura with it, where Yan Hao usually is in his mind.

Turned into a many abstract and strange items that represents the memories.

Many things that he sees, feels, hears and remembers over the years.

Yet, those objects loses it's value because of the vagueness of those memories.

Which in the end, caused it to meld with other vague objects or became something even stranger.

Atlas sat on a chair that was the remaining object that has it's value, he is left alone in this abstract space.

He looks at the scale which is the original object in mind space that couldn't be destroyed.

The left side of the scale is heavier than the right.

That scale that represents control, right now Atlas isn't in control of his body.

Yan Hao had left the mind space before all this happened, and became the one in control.

Though, he lets him to control his body because he trusts him.

. . .

"Eh? You sure?"

"Yeah, I've been thinking about it"

"Might as well give it a try"

"Wait, really?"

"Haven't I said 'yeah' already? I thought you wanted this"

"I mean.. The worst thing could happen.."

"Like what, exactly?"

"Like.. I can do fucked up stuff with this and never let you control it back again"

"Giving me a privilege of full control means you'll never be in control again unless I want you to"

"I could do something bad with everyone, Atlas"

"Are you really sure?"

"..."

"I'm sure with this, you're not gonna do that in the end"

"Even if you do, you'll regret it anyway"

"Really? You trust me to do this?"

"What's with your unsureness? Of course I do, you know that the both of us are one in the same"

"Ah..."

"Fine, I'll do it"

"Don't you ever regret it"

"I won't"

Bonus

Mind Space

"It's been a while since I entered this min space" Atlas took a deep breath

Yan Hao nodded, "Yup"

"And, why is it so messy?"

"Because you've been thinking a lot, and you haven't arranged things in stuff, Atlas"

"Also, you forgot about it"

"Actually, you have a point"

Atlas had just remembered that he could enter a mind space.

Whenever Yan Hao is not around or not existing, he is usually in his mind space to recover energy.

After all, Yan Hao and Atlas is the same person.

Though, when Atlas entered the mind space after  which seemingly for years.

He was greeted with a very messy and dirty traditional Liyue-style room with hints of Monstadt.

The outside world of this room is a bright blue sky with scrolls covering up some of it, and attached to the mountains.

It's always day time in mind space.

Except some occasions where Atlas had a mid life crisis or something.

Yan Hao noticed something at the corner o the room.

It's a box, and he took a look inside of the contents.

Then, Atlas realized something, that box is..

"Oooh, what's this? A diary?"

"Yan Hao wait-"

"Let's take look~"

"YAN HAO!"
