4 archons in TPN

Fun sized

(Layout of the orphanage is slightly diffrent to the anime)

"Cmon. Dont worry your little head. We are nearly there now."

Why cant I control my movements?

"Dont give me that face. I'm sure you will love your new family."

Why cant I say anything?

"Its all your fault you know.. Due to that, your the sacrifice. Such a disgrace.. You let them all down."

I let someone down....?

"Ah, we are here now. Dont worry. The pain is only temporary."

Huh-?

---------------

"Alright listen up everyone! We have another new member! Please be kind. Introduce yourself honey."

Where am I?

"Venti."

"Dont worry. Everyone here is kind. And your not the only new one. Three other new ones came earlier today so your not alone. Run along now dear. Dinner will be ready shortly." A tall lady with lilac eyes stated. She was tall and a pain to look up at. She made her way to some double green doors and a few children followed her.

Who is she?

Wait. Why am I so close to the floor!?

The majority of people seemed to have left the floor. Those people mainly only consisting of children.

Was she the only adult here?

"Venti." Somebody stated.

"Morax!? I mean- Zhongli!?"

"Yes it's me. You seem to have also ended up in this unforseen predicament." He responded calmly.

Venti burst into fits of laughter, "Your voice! Pfft-" Zhonglis voice was indeed higher than usual. "Wait! Were all fun sized!? We are all Kusunalis now!" He couldnt stop laughing. Kusunali ,who was standing behind Zhongli, gave him a death glare.

"We seem to have lost our powers, yet not our memories. Well, besides our memory's of arriving here. They all seem to have been erased." Kusunali said coldly. Ever since she remember who she previously was, she has been acting alot more scary. Venti tested his powers for conformation. When he realised he couldnt even summon a small gust of wind, he immediately regretted trying. There was a sudden pain in his chest. His chest felt like is was burning. It was same sunsation you get when your eat the snow from Dragonspine. Well now he knew they were completely defenceless.

"Follow us upstairs-" Ei started.

"Hey! Wait up!" A girl with orange hair came bounding up to them closely followed by a white haired boy. He sorta looked like a lost puppy trailing after its master. No mind of it's own.

"Hey! Sorry about that." She says scratching her neck. Ei casts her a cold glare but the girl doesnt seem to notice, "I'm Emma and this is my friend Norman! Who are you?" The girl seemed as childish as they get. Going up to people, not caring if she appears to be a total idiot. Or maybe shes just blind to that fact.

"Hi! I'm Venti!" He said, trying to match her energy. Ever since the last teleportation stunt he accidentally pulled, hes been super tired and hasn't had as much energy as usual. Or maybe it has something to do with er-.

"Nice to meet you! Now cmon! Dinners almost ready. You dont wanna miss it. Mom makes us the best food!" She then bounded of to the double green doors, the same ones that other lady had gone through.

"How old do we look exactly?" Venti asked neverously.

"About ten I would say." Kusunali stated, "Upon arrival, the others seemed to look at us strange. I dont think they get many new comers often. Or maybe our age group. Ah, and if you are confused on our whereabouts, I cant give any proximitys relating to Teyvat all I know is that we are in a orphanage of sorts and theres not much outside of the walls surrounding this place."

Ei looked at her confused but decided not to say anything. This seemed to be the first time she was hearing this. She felt a bit hurt that Kusunali didnt bother telling them sooner but oh well. They wernt as close to Kusunali since their long separation after what happened to her.

"We should get going. I dont think they would be grateful of us making them wait so long." Zhongli stated, and led them all through the double doors to what seemed to be the food hall.

There were 3 very long table with food displayed across them, almost like a banquet style. They each took a seat next to eachother, not yet trusting those surrounding them, and began eating. The food was mediocre. Not the kind of delicacys you would find at Wanmin Resturant or Good Hunter for example. However, to the others surrounding them, their reactions showed it was possibly the best food they had ever eaten. Whilst they were walking in beforehand, they were all sitting peacefully thanking someone for the food. Yet they didnt look at anyone. And the four definitely hadnt seen anyone come and deliver the food. Oh well, that was a question for later.

Looking around, everyone seemed to have a string of numbers on their necks.

"Zhongli, there is a string of numbers on your neck." Ei pointed out. Zhongli put a hand to his neck.

"You do aswell." He turned towards Kusunali and Venti, "You both do aswell." He said whilst nodding at them.

"Hm... The others also seem to have them. They are obviously not blind but they dont seem to show any signs of concern... We can corner one of them later and question them. No point calling it out in such a crowded area. It may cause needless ruckus. We surely dont want to attract attention when we dont even know our purpose here." Kusunali stated.

Then someone started crying.
