The last thing Eula felt before passing out from exhaustion was Amber's warm, soft hands on her cheek. The voices in her head wouldn't stop just yet. Eula swore she would avenge her family to restore the clan, but that would make Eula have to make a tough decision. To give up the city and join the Fatui, or stay and fight for the city with her ancestors watching her with hateful eyes. Eula wanted to avenge her family. To stay away from all the citizens that didn't understand her. She couldn't take the wrong path. It would stain her life like a squished tomato. 

Thus, without thinking much, she woke up and went out the door with tired legs. Her legs were very tired, and she didn't feel like moving. But she went out the door, leaving Amber there with a calm sleep. Eula wasn't ready for anything. She just did it. Moving forward in life was the only thing she wanted. To change. To make everybody think she is the bad one, just like they always have. 

-Six months ago- 12:55 PM Eula POV:

Eula picked up a letter in her mailbox that arrived not long before. She read it thoroughly and was pretty surprised. 

"Dear Eula Lawrence, 

We have heard about your quest of searching for your vengeance, and we would like to assist you. Us Fatui Harbingers are very welcoming and we want to give some advice in your search. Your bloodline has a very strong point, and we would like to invite you to join the Fatui Harbingers. If you would like to join, we would welcome you as the seventh Fatui Harbinger of our team. Remember. One mistake in this invite and your precious bloodline and city will be destroyed in the ashes forever. Your deadline to accept or decline this invite is 7 months.

                                                                                                                          Yours Sincerely, 

                                                                                                                          The Fatui Harbingers"

Eula thought not much of it, she wanted to think about it before accepting. 

-Back to present time-

Eula was heading towards the hideout, which she knew exactly where based on a memory of eavesdropping on the Fatui. As soon as she approached the entrance, she started feeling a dark, evil presence- I mean presences around her. Everywhere. Suddenly, she heard an unfamiliar voice.. the voice of... 

The Sixth Fatui Harbinger??

"Who.. do you think you are? To be both trespassing the Fatui's hideout... and walking in like nothing is wrong?" the voice spoke. 

"Eula Lawrence, from Monstadt. I'm here to talk about the invite you Fatui Harbingers wrote to me 6 months ago."

"...and your answer to that invite.. is?"

"I would like to accept the offer, to join the Fatui Harbingers as the seventh Fatui Harbinger."

"Hah.. it's not that easy to accept an offer.. you would have to be able to overwhelm at least three of us in a... lets say... practice round? Hm? What do you think? We settle it down here."

Eula smirked, giving him eyes that told him bet. you got it. 

After a few hours of battle, with the third, fourth, and finally sixth Fatui Harbinger, she was sweating like a hot dog. She had overwhelmed the third Fatui Harbinger and the fourth too, but the sixth, known as Scaramouche, didn't budge. He was the one that overwhelmed her. His presence was too powerful, and he didn't even wield a weapon of any sort. It was just his presence that overwhelmed her. 

"I-I give up.. You're too powerful..  it's your presence that hurts me.. it's.. it's.. too much.."

"Haha.. just my presence.. I hope you will learn to overwhelm me one day.. for now.. you have the eighth harbinger to take down."

"The.. eighth?"

In a flash, Signora appeared right beside Scaramouche, grinning with evil. Eula sneered. She went right up to Signora in less than a millisecond and slashed. She dodged, and she attacked. Both females dodged like they were playing at a dodgeball championship. Seconds of battle felt like hours of sitting on a chair. Until.. Eula landed a fatal blow on the side of Signora's stomach. 

"UGH!" 

"Gotcha.. now.. Scaramouche.. what do I get in return?"

"Hahaha..."

"Hm?"

"Welcome.. Eula Lawrence.. to the Fatui Harbingers.. as the seventh of the team."

Eula felt accomplished.. but what good would it do to the city?
