To Melt a Frozen Heart

Chapter 3: Albedo's Frozen Feelings

(Ok first off, I blame the event for making me think of this. Second off, Khoi sang this song. Third off, if we love the Tar-tar galia song, then this song is also canon. At least in my eyes.  Regardless, this is real. Enjoy!)

           "Really?" Beresu asked surprised as she listened to Aether's story.

"Yes. We have visions, or well, everyone in our world has visions" Aether answered warmly, "Though, my little sister and I do not"

"Why is that?" the professor asked curiously as she reflected on her world and the power of crests.

"You just have to awaken to it" Lumine answered, "A person has to do something to awaken to a vision. This can be anything. From doing something you love to an event that is life changing"

Lumine smiled as she reflected at Kaeya's and Klee's personal experiences. Beresu could only nod her head as she wondered how the Twin Travelers could use visions then since neither of them have the item. It also made her wonder why the twins could use multiple elements as well.

"Would you like to hear more of the story?" Aether asked warmly as he sat with his legs crossed before the professor.

Although she would've been fine with leaving, Sothis was more curious to hear this story.

"Another world where the functions are similar and different from our own warrants further explanation if you ask me" Sothis said to Beresu in her mind, "Shall we inform those twins to continue the story?"

"I suppose so" Beresu answered Sothis and then turned her attention to the twins and Paimon, "So, what transpired after that?"

Aether answered warmly to continue the story, "So, as we were heading up the mountain, Albedo was already reaching his lab on Dragonspire"

Albedo hugged himself as he finally reached his lab on the mountain. He stared at the messy condition his lab was in and sighed as he took a step in. He glanced at the scattered papers holding notes and sketches, to then looking at cabinets holding potions and other important instruments, and finally, the empty table and chairs.

"Well, at least everything is in the same place as before" Albedo whispered to himself.

He then gazed out to the snowy weather blocking the view of Mondstadt. He hoped everyone will relax and take comfort knowing that he had ran away with the trouble. He checked the sides of his coat and found his visions still present.

"I may not understand the nature of this, but I will work to understand it" Albedo vowed as he placed a hand to his face and examined both visions, "Why was this given to me? Does that person from Inazuma know anything about this? I should depart to Inazuma as soon as I can to understand the truth behind this"

He went to pick up a document he was reading about a person having two visions, but the moment he picked it up, ice began to cover it! He dropped the document as it crashed on the ground!

"Well, that's unfortunate" Albedo said as he looked at his hands, "Perhaps I need to release the dormmate power with the vision"

He stepped outside of the lab and nodded to himself with this idea. He adjusted his gloves and took a step towards the top of the mountain.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen" Albedo sang softly as he looked back at his tracks to see it already covered by the freshly fallen snow.

"A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the king" he sang as he walked through the snow and noticed the sparkle each one reflected from the light.
