the appearance of being true or real.
Not all dreams are strong enough to create ambitions. Yet, Teyvat's skies will always have a place for those who dream beyond the veil. So dream on, dear one and...
Golden eyes watched from afar. The blonde, long-braided twin stares down at the tree in Windrise. His cold gaze, once holding such warmth and endearment for the world around him, glared out at the tree of Mondstadt's hopes and dreams. An Abyss Mage appeared behind him, bowing in respect to the blonde male.
"My Prince, we've received news pertaining to the Oracle Knight. There's reason to believe that the Oracle came into contact with the poisoned blood of Durin through an impure teardrop crystal left behind by the dragon. The Oracle now has similar eyes to the one who separated you and your sibling. Should we do anything about this, your highness?" The Abyss Mage asked the young man before it. He turned slowly, facing the Abyss Mage.
"If she has indeed come into contact with Durin's blood, then the Oracle Knight may just as well be controlled like the dragon. When the time is right, put her through the test. We may yet see if the Oracle can be tamed and work for us instead of the Divine."

I shivered. Gooseflesh formed on my arms and my hairs were standing up. My entire being felt on alert for some reason. I frowned at my body's weird display of fight or flight.
"Why am I feeling like something bad is going to happen soon?" I thought to myself. Lumine and Paimon didn't seem to notice anything weird, so maybe it's just me feeling off still. I shook my head in an attempt to clear it. We were just about before the Shrine of the Seven for the Anemo Archon in Windrise. Which also meant we were almost to the grand oak of Windrise itself.
"(Y/N)?" Lumine called out my name. I looked over at her, her golden eyes resting on my figure.
"Yes, Lumine?" I responded. She glanced back over in the direction of the shrine. From where we're standing, I can tell that Venti is definitely here. However, he isn't what Lumine is seemingly looking at.
"What do you know about the Anemo Archon?" She asks me. I fight the urge to smirk.
"The Anemo Archon? Well, he's an odd fellow that's for sure." Paimon floats in front of my face.
"Wait, have you met the Anemo Archon?!" She asks in shock. I nod as my answer to her question.
"Wait, seriously? What was the Anemo Archon like?!" Paimon practically shouted. I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Well, I'd tell you. But then I'd probably get picked off while you're not looking for saying anything~." I teased her. Paimon pouted, before her eyes widened at what I meant.
"Wait... That's not funny at all!" I laughed at her reaction.
"Because it's not true. Barbatos is actually a good friend of mine. He can be a bit annoying at times, however. But I know he means well. You'll meet him soon enough. In fact, I would perhaps say you've probably already met him.~" I smirked. Lumine's eyes widened upon realizing that she has, in fact, met the Anemo Archon already.
