The Wind Guardians

Chapter 7: The Past Between Earth And Wind

"Master, I have a question" Kuni said as he drank his tea. They were having their afternoon tea together with Xiao. Sadly Morax couldn't join but hey, at least they got the distant Yaksha to join. Barbatos looked at Kuni and gave him a smile before nodding, signaling him to continue.

"How did you and Lord Morax met?" Kuni continues to ask. Xiao looked up from his Almond tofu, seemingly interested in the topic (Gotta need them juicy gossip *slap*). Barbatos put down his teacup and wonders for a bit. "It was about 1300 years ago, it was during the Great Archon War. I was a newly born god. Heh, I didn't even took this form back then. I was just a mere wind spirit with a wild mind." He thinks back to when he first met his beloved.

Kuni and Xiao looked at each other. Somehow they feel like children asking their mother on how she first met their father. Truly a feeling there. "I was exploring Mondstadt until I accidentally entered Liyue without realizing. I felt a strong aura somewhere near, and there he was. Standing there staring at me with curious eyes."

                     •°•°•°•°°•°•°•°•°•

"What..... Are you?" Morax asked. He picked up the small wind spirit, rather harshly. The wind spirit squeaked in surprise and hurt. Morax realizes his mistake and lay it down on his his palms. The wind spirit was trembling and looked at Morax in horror. Never has he met a another god, archon even.

Morax started to pet the little wind spirit's head, trying to warm it up as he figured it was cold, after all he did go through the second coldest place in Teyvat. The wind spirit started realizing that he meant no harm so he just started to roll in his palms, signaling to him that he was fine.

"What is a free wind spirit that belongs in Mondstadt doing here in Liyue? If Decarabian were to see one of his wind spirits in Liyue he would surely increases the power of his wind barrier." Morax asked him. He wanted to tell him that he wasn't created by that tyrant but he couldn't make out actual words, instead he just started squeaking again.

Morax looked confused. "Apologies, little one but I can't seem to understand what you want to tell me." Oh that's right, only his siblings and his mother could understand what he is saying. He started flying a bit far away from Morax. Morax looked at it with watchful eyes, as if scanning it to not destroy Liyue. Believe it or not, a little wind spirit is capable of creating a dangerous typhoon and Morax knows it.

The wind spirit glowed, it seems to be making a human vessel so that it could communicate with him. The glow was too bright if any human was near by they could go permanently blind. Morax covered his eyes. When he opened it again, he saw a beautiful person with pure white wings with his eyes closed. As the newborn god landed with it's feet, his legs started trembling. Morax rushed to him to make sure he doesn't fall.

Morax held one of his hands and the other hands on his waist. The no longer wind spirit was panting really hard. "Thank you, I never thought creating a human body could be so tiring." A honey sweet voice spoke up. Morax blushed. Never has he heard such a melodious voice before. Not even Guizhong. "It is as expected from a wind spirit. They are powerful but they are small. I doubt you have much energy with the small body." They settled down onto the grass as Morax unconsciously pulled him into his lap.

"You are correct. With such a small body, I have very little energy. But I needed to talk to you so I had to do it." The blunette said. He was still panting heavily but not as before. Morax doesn't trust very easily but this wind spirit has him worried for him. He hugged the wind spirit loosely and his tattoos glowed. The newborn god's tattoos was starting to change from a neon blue color to gold. The god closes his eyes and leaned onto him, wanting to feel warmth.

Soon, he was not as tired as before. He lets go of the wind spirit and looked into his crystal clear blue eyes. Oh, how mesmerizing it was. "Are you doing fine now?" He asked. The god in his lap gave a nod. "Again, thank you. You are very kind, dear Lord of Geo." Morax gave him a small smile. "Call me Morax" he said as he plucked a nearby Glaze lily and tuck it onto his hair. The wind spirit face was red. That was so unexpected. He tried keeping calming himself down. "C-call me Barbatos" he said. Morax just chuckled.

He then remembered that he wanted to tell Morax about "So.... I'm here to inform you about the death of the previous Anemo archon Decarabian." It was half true, he was supposed to tell the archons about the death of the previous archon but not until Celestia has confirmed him as the new archon. Morax nodded "I figured so" he said. Barbatos looked confuse "huh?" Morax caresses his hair. "I could feel the Anemo energy around Mondstadt getting weaker whenever I get near. It is certainly taking a long time for it to disappear."

Barbatos looked at him in disbelief. How could a god who has no connections with wind or whatsoever could feel the Anemo energy. Perhaps because he was an archon? Maybe, but still it was weird. "If you already know then, I should be getting ready to depart now." He was about to stand up but then was pulled back onto Morax's lap. He hugged the wind spirit tightly.

Barbatos was shocked but he didn't mind. He returned the hug and buried his face into his neck. He wasn't supposed to get attached to a stranger but this wind spirit was different. He liked him the moment he set eyes on him. He soon let go and the wind spirit turned into it's original form. Before going back to Mondstadt, the wind spirit rubbed his cheeks onto Morax's.

                     •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

"And then? And then?" Xiao and Kuni eagerly asked. Barbatos chuckled "Sorry but that's the furthest I can tell you" he said while grinning. Kuni and Xiao groaned. They wanted to know everything. How the first realized their feelings, the confession, who confessed first, everything.

"Now then Kuni, when you returned back from Lantern Rite 2 days ago, I sensed a happy aura from you. Mind sharing the reason?" Barbatos teased. Kuni was blushing and Xiao was getting ready with more hot tea, literally. "I-I don't think this needed to be discussed." He said while still blushing furiously.

"Oh come one, loosen up a little. You know I could give you love advice~ " Barbatos teasingly said. Kuni looked at him while looking as red as a tomato. "MASTER" Xiao chuckled a little. Thank God he wasn't being questioned by Barbatos. "Don't think you're getting out of this, Xiao. I know damn well you like someone now." Barbatos smirked devilishly. Xiao's eyes twitched. Both Kuni and Xiao screamed "NOOOOOOOO"
