Shiro's POV. Inazuma City.
As soon as Ei and I arrived at the city, the streets became busier and livelier.
Ei decided to cover her identity, that's why she covered her face with the hood of my cloak.
Ei: To think that the people already moved on from what happened...........
Shiro: Well, it is because the people of Inazuma are already tired from all the war that was going on.
Ei: And to think that the people suffered because of my selfish ideals.........
Ei: To think I really forgot my duty as an Archon.
Shiro: Well, the people of Inazuma are still recovering and they need the guiding hand of their deity.
Ei: Makoto was more good in ruling........
Ei: Well, probably because she also seeked cooperation with your ancestors back in the day.
Shiro: That's right.
Shiro: But then, after the Cataclysm that happened 500 years ago........
Shiro: That event lead you to pursue eternity.
Ei: Yes, and I was scared that what if, Inazuma also progressed like that nation, Inazuma will also suffered the same fate.
Shiro: The Heavenly Principles, huh?
Shiro: I remember the Traveler said that they encountered the said god when they tried to leave this world.
Ei: I guess one of them, discovered the truth of this world.
Shiro: Huh.........
Ei: Trust me, Shiro. You wouldn't want to know the truth. It is an ugly truth.
Shiro: Is it about what lies in the abode of the gods? Celestia, right?
Ei: Yes.
Shiro: So you decided to sever your ties with Celestia as well.
Ei: Yes.
Ei: I really didn't like Celestia, I share the same sentiment with the Anemo Archon about Celestia.
Shiro: It's just like what my father told me years ago.
Ei: What was it?
Shiro: My father said, "Why would Celestia start a world conflict for just seven divine thrones?"
Shiro: He added, "The Archon War is probably the biggest crime of Celestia. Creating discord among the gods, humanity getting caught in the crossfire of that senseless war, the world burning up in flames."
Shiro: That's what my father said.
Ei: To think that your father thought that.
Shiro: He knows what war could bring. If a war between humans is already horrible, what more if its a war, between gods and their people?
