Verisimilitude (GI Various x Reader)

Chapter Twenty

        Lumine, Fischl and myself spent the rest of the day yesterday destroying meteorites. That weird vagrant from Inazuma hasn't shown up again just yet. However, something tells me that we'll probably see him again sometime soon. Today we're heading back to the location Mona took us to yesterday. Mona should already be there.

"Hi Mona! Thanks to you, we've managed to get rid of loads and loads of meteorites!" Mona turns around to greet us.

"Ah, good timing! There's something I need you to do. Remember how I was saying that the meteorites belonged to someone's constellation?" She asks and we all nod.

"Theoretically, it's not possible for stars that are goodness knows how many light-years away to suddenly turn into meteors and fall out of the sky. But, however paradoxical it may be, this is the reality. If we want to get to the bottom of this, the best way is to find out whose constellation it was." She turns in Fischl's direction.

"Based on what you've told me, it seems that all victims of the meteorites fell into a deep sleep, and all of them dreamed of a snowy mountain. Now, we may not know which mountain this was- but we can safely assume that it's not Dragonspine. Otherwise, someone would have recognized it, right?" Mona crosses her arms, staring down at the ground in thought.

"Did everyone definitely have the same dream? And where exactly were they in the dream? These are the questions we need answers to. I need you to find out more detailed about the sleepers' dreams. The more information we have, the closer we can get to the truth." Seems reasonable enough.

"Seems we should head somewhere with lots of people around. That way, we should be able to find more victims to question." Paimon states.

"I need to stay in an undisturbed environment. So, I will leave the investigating to you." Something about these meteorites is familiar. Perhaps it's the way they send their victims into a deep slumber, forced to dream of another's past. Much like how I was forced to dream Durin's death from the corrupted teardrop crystal. Are there perhaps any similarities between that crystal and these meteorites? Hm. I don't think so. The teardrops were created from Dvalin's pain, whereas Mona claims the meteorites came from someone's constellation. What's more, is, that the teardrop absorbed itself into me. These meteorites seem to stay in their location, only causing those who touch them to fall into a coma.

"Is there anywhere we haven't been to yet?" Paimon asks.

"There is Qingce Village, in Liyue... Although, it does not usually match your suggestion of somewhere with lots of people around. That said, I suspect that the Millelith will have turned that area into a site where victims can receive medical attention, much as they did at Wangshu Inn." Qingce Village, huh? It's been a long time since I'd last been there. Qingce Village was where my mother grew up, despite being a Mondstadter. She met my father on an adventuring expedition and they fell in love.

Eventually... they had me and ended up settling down in Mondstadt. They claimed that they stopped going on commissions for my safety. That all changed when I turned fifteen and received my Vision. They believed that I'd be safe with a Vision, to be able to protect myself, and started going on adventuring expeditions once more. It always made me happy, seeing my parents doing what they loved. It's what drove me to wanting to become an adventurer in the first place. But yet...

Only a year later, they'd go missing. Without a trace.

I spent the first few months searching all around Mondstadt, looking for any sign of them. I would have left Mondstadt completely to search for my parents, if Jean hadn't spoken to me that day...
