Hu Tao x Reader - An Archons History

Murata: The God of War

The person asking for help got rejected and left the building. We walked inside. She was faced away from the door so she couldn't see us.

???:"What do you want? If it's about war or asking for aid, then leave."

Y/N:"Uh- Hi.."

???:"What do you want?"

Y/N:"Nothing. I just came to meet you."

???:"Not interested. Leave."

Y/N:"I-"

???:"Leave."

Hu Tao:"Ma'am, its your daughter."

???:"I SAID LEAVE."

She shot her head around to look at us.

???:"My daughter died three years ag-"

She looked at me. I saw confusion in her eyes. She got off the sofa and started walking around it, keeping her left hand on the top of the sofa.

???:"Who are you?"

I looked at Hu Tao, Paimon and the Traveller to make sure she was talking to me. I looked back at her, put my hands behind my back and started getting nervous.

Y/N:"I-Uh..."

I don't wanna introduce myself as her daughter incase I'm not actually related to this woman.

Y/N:"I'm Y/N. I'm from Natlan.. apparently... I don't know much about myself."

I gave an awkward smile.

She walked up to me and grabbed my chin. She moved my head around and looked at me.

She grabbed my hand and rolled up my sleeve. There was a small mark of the Pyro symbol. Where did that come from? It must have appeared once I entered Natlan. She looked back up to me, slightly confused.

???:"Follow me."

We all left the house and started walking out of the town. Everyone was looking at us. Is it because Murata is here or because we're with her? We almost left the slums when Kassim decided to jump out of nowhere.

Kassim:"Ma'am, may I ask you what you're doing with these outcast adventurers?"

Murata:"Out of my way Kassim. I've got business to do."

Kassim:"But Ma'am, these adventurers aren't trustworthy. May I accompany you to make sure you don't get hurt?"

Kassim may be a pain but at least he's loyal. I guess?

Murata:"Don't you hate Gods?"

Kassim:"I do ma'am, but you've protected us countless times, so of course I should be loyal to you."

Murata grunted.

Murata:"If it makes you shut up then sure. Stay behind us."

I don't know whether to believe that this is the actual Murata. I feel like she would be more battle ready considering she's all about war. We headed to the river from before.

And didn't Kassim just call her a sloth?!

Murata:"This is the border between Natlan and Sumeru. That mark, on your wrist. Once you cross this river, it should fade. If it doesn't fade, then you're a hoax. Kassim, go grab him."

Kassim:"Yes ma'am."

Kassim ran of to grab whoever 'him' was. Murata looked at me.

Murata:"Tell me then. What do you know?"

Y/N:"My father died because of some Spear Curse, I might be related to you, and I don't really know much more. I woke up in Liyue about a month or two ago and lost all memories once I woke up."
