☞︎An Outlander from the Sea of Flames☜︎

After that festival where you kissed Itto for the first time, you all went to stay in the Yashiro Commission headquarters, but as you were sleeping, you got nudged awake by Ayato.
'Chiyumi, please do come outside. Don't fret, you aren't in any business with us, there is just..someone who would like to see you,' Ayato stated quietly.
You went outside with Ayato and saw the face of someone you haven't seen in years.
'Dad?'
'My daughter! Oh, how wonderful it is to see you! You probably don't know how I've gotten here I-well, the Lady of Fire, the Pyro Archon, confronted the Raiden Shogun and allowed me to come over! As I am one of Lady Murata's soldiers.'
'That's great..! I-I have a significant other, you know?'
'An Inazuman man? Or woman?'
'A guy called Arataki Itto, he's an Oni.'
'Oh, the gang guy? Oh, that's splendid, simply. He could protect you! A-ahem, anyways the real reason I'm here is..is because, your mother passed away,' your father said.
You couldn't believe it. Just why..? When? How?
'I-how?' you asked.
'Well, she was studying a ruin in Liyue, and some treasure hoarders..well..ended her.'
Your mother was a scholar from Sumeru, and she loved looking at old ruins from the Archon War, especially ones in Liyue and Mondstadt. This shocked you, because most ruins in Inazuma were protected, no treasure hoarders at all, but is this how cruel the outside world is?
'So, what'll we do..?' you asked. Your father looked at you brightly: 'You're coming with me to Natlan of course! I'll raise you to be a fine soldier! Oh, and your Oni husband can come as well!'
'Firstly-my boyfriend, secondly-are you sure? There is the Sakoku Decree.'
'Mind that, the Lady of Fire *has* confronted the Shogun!'
'I-I'll ask Itto, hold on.'
So you went back inside and got your belongings and saw Itto sleeping softly.
'Itto?' you called.
'H-huh? Chiyumi..? Yeah?'
'Come here.'
So Itto got up and went to the other room and you confided in him.
'To where? The Pyro Nation? Ooohh yeaahh!! I'd love that! But I don't have the travel-'
'I think we're staying there permanently..'
'Uhm..well, I can't abandon the gang and I also can't leave you..'
'We'll find a way for Shinobu and the others to come once we get there!'
'Alright, then.'
'I'll put a note saying everything on it, I hope they'll understand..' you sighed.
And thus, you, your father and Itto went off to Natlan.
In the morning, you felt like burnt toast. The sun was frying you so hard..it seems like as if you've reached your destination.
'Ugh, Chiyumi finally your awake! The sun is makin me ache like crazy!!' Itto yelled in pain.
'Dad? Is this the usual climate here?' you asked.
'Oh sure it is! Like I said, this area is ruled by the Pyro Archon Murata, the God of War! It's going to be scorching hot, but for us soldiers, it's like a normal day.'
You looked at your father oddly. How is such boiling weather the norm? Well, this place was your home now, so there's no looking back.
'Firstly I'll introduce you to our Archon and the other soldiers. They'd be delighted to meet you both! I know one fellow..he's from Mondstadt..he loves mythology and other stuff so your Oni boyfriend would be very fascinating to him,' your father said, and Itto replied with something along the lines of the Oni people being real and not mythology. You weren't bothered by that..you were bothered by how your already going to be meeting people of such authority. Your father told you not to stress as that isn't a quality of an upcoming soldier, and soon later you were at the Archon's abode.
You proceeded to walk inside, and already you felt the overwhelming presence of the Celestial woman.
'Oh. Are these the Inazuman guests?' asked Murata seriously.
'Why of course m-my lady! My daughter Chiyumi and her significant other, an Oni named..'
'Arataki Itto.'
'Yes, what he said.'
'I must say, the man looks worthy to be a soldier, but perhaps I could have a chat with your daughter who you adore so very much?'
'I'll accept the offer, ma'am.'
'Send the Oni to the troops, and Chiyumi shall come with me.'
Your father nodded his head in approval and he took Itto to the others. You went slowly behind the the Archon.
'Chiyumi, Chiyumi, why do you deem yourself worthy of being one of us?' she asked.
You shuddered and instead of feeling a chill, you felt a flame form in your throat.
'I..my father wants me to be like you.'
'I'm not asking about your father's view, I'm asking about yours.'
'I don't have one.'
You've said it abruptly, and straight. You had no intention. Absolutely none. No views, principles, anything. You didn't want to be a soldier.
The Archon scoffed and sent you back to your boat by the bay.
You didn't know how to get back home, and Itto was nowhere nearby. But you had to get back somehow.
And so you went to the nearest nation, the Hydro Nation Fontaine.
On the way, you met someone who was part of the Fatui, an Inazuman just like you by the name Scaramouche.
'So you're trying to get to Inazuma and your boyfriend is out there fightin his ass off?! Lazy much..anyways in order to get to Inazuma, you're gonna have to go a way where the catgirl won't see you.'
'Catgirl?'
'Yeah, a catgirl magician. She and her not-a-cat-somehow brother have been jump scaring me trying to get me to come with them!! Tch, personal space! Wait, random idiot who's name I dunno, HIDE! NOW!'
You did what Scaramouche commanded you and saw from afar. Was that girl with periwinkle hair the catgirl? I mean, she is a cat.
In order so she won't find you, you ran away as fast as you could.
Eventually, you ended up stranded in Fontaine City. Just how were you supposed to get out? No Itto to help you, nothing! Not even your father to find the way, or Taroumaru to comfort you..
You sat on the corner of the cobbled pavement and began to cry until your eyes went red and your head began to throb intensely.
You found it a bit rude that no one offered you comfort or a place to stay.
As dusk broke out, you got up and began dizzily  walking up the streets. Sometimes you'd bump into lamposts due to tiredness, but it didn't matter. You had to get out of here, fast.
You then blacked out, and you lay lifeless. It was upsetting to look at, very.
Footsteps then approached you.
It was your one true love, he found himself here.
'C-Chiyumi..!!! You're..UWAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! NO CHIYUMI, PLEASE, WAAAHHH!!!!!!!'
Itto cried and cried as he cradled your lifeless soul until the morning.
In the morning, merchants, citizens, jury, police and magicians paraded on the streets, and the ruckus made you wake up.
Itto began to cry again out of happiness, jubilant that you're alive and well. You smiled.
'Yes, Itto. I am here. Now let's find our way home..'

'Sojiro, luckily we've came home. It was a glorious moment, dear.'

Ok here's an A/N: all the settings, personality of the archon mentioned, etc etc are all my interpretation of what it's like. It's not real/official! Thanks!
