The Archon war was far from finished; the clashing of metal, bloodlust, and elements could be heard from miles away. There Morax walked, holding Guizhong tight in his arms. He would not let her go, for knowing she was close to her final breath. Frowning, he lay her down upon a field of glaze lilies.
Her favorite flower.
Morax's expression softens, holding Guizhong's hand as tight as he could. Tears filled his eyes, unable to speak. Only observe the wounded goddess underneath him.
"Morax.." Guizhong utters, her breathing weak, and somewhat fragile.
His head perks up at the words.
"You know, this is the very first time.. I've witnessed any kind of emotion from you."
She pauses a moment, her kind smile never waning.
"Only.. I wish it wasn't such a sad expression.."
As tears stream down his cheeks, he held her impossibly close. Humming a melody, Guizhong attempted to calm the other. Though, unable to control it.. her eyes narrowed to a shut, she's fading, with all her grace, as she lays on a field of Glazed lilies which she loved so dearly.
"Guizhong?" Morax called, his brows thoroughly knit together. As her hand slowly faded from his own, he was well aware she was gone. Gone for good. "I cannot.. do this without you.." Cursing, Morax grips onto the lilies below him, his head lowering as choked sobs escape his lips.
Enraged, Morax grips tightly onto the metallic polearm in his fists, starting off to finish the war that was started. Almost as if that sadness.. that loneliness, had fueled such anger.

"Zhongli?" The traveler calls, wandering around a few before stumbling into the other. Zhongli sat, staring down to the warm cup of tea in his hands. "Ah, there you are." They smile, heading over to the other male.
"I have the glaze lilies you asked for, will these do?" They gesture to Zhongli, gradually handing them over to him.
"They are perfect. Thank you, traveler."
