In Love And Memory - Aether x Venti (Aeventi Fanfic)

Chapter 4: Aether Got Captured!

As Aether lay imprisoned, with no way to escape, the Fatui began to make their demands clear. They wanted Venti dead, and they were willing to do whatever it took to get what they wanted. Aether knew that he had to do something, but he was powerless to act.

Venti, still recovering from his injuries, was left alone to deal with the burden of the Fatui's demands. He felt a sense of helplessness, knowing that he had to make a decision that would either save Aether's life or condemn him to a fate worse than death.

As he struggled with the weight of the decision, Venti knew that he couldn't bring himself to kill Aether. He loved Aether too much, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing him. But he also knew that he couldn't let the Fatui have their way, that he had to stand up for what was right.

In a moment of desperation, Venti turned to his anemo powers and summoned a powerful wind that knocked the Fatui away. He ran to Aether's side, cutting his ropes and lifting him onto his back as they made a run for it.As they fled, Venti knew that they were the target of the Fatui's wrath, but he didn't care. He would do whatever it took to keep Aether safe, even if it meant putting himself in danger.

As they ran, they could hear the sound of the Fatui's footsteps behind them, their shouts of anger ringing out in the air. But Venti refused to give up, to stop running until he knew that Aether was safe.

As they reached a safe distance, Venti collapsed to the ground, exhausted from the exertion. He looked at Aether, knowing that he had done everything he could to save him, and that he would do it all again without hesitation. But he also knew that he had paid a high price for their escape. The Fatui would not rest until they had what they wanted, and he and Aether would always be in their sights. But he also knew that he had something worth fighting for. He had Aether, and there was nothing that would ever make him give him up.

As they ran from the Fatui, Aether and Venti eventually found a cave that they hoped would offer a place to rest. They were both exhausted, both physically and emotionally, and they knew that they needed a place to catch their breath and plan their next move.

The cave was dark and damp, but it offered them some protection from the elements. Aether quickly gathered some wood and managed to start a fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that was a welcome change from the cold and damp outside.

Venti, still weak from his injuries, lay down on the ground, his head on Aegis' lap. Aether kept the fire burning as he kept watch, hoping that the Fatui would not be able to find them.

As they rested, Aether took stock of their situation. He knew that they were still in danger, that the Fatui would not rest until they had what they wanted. But he also knew that they had each other, that they were stronger together than apart.

He looked down at Venti, still sleeping on his lap, and felt a sense of overwhelming gratitude for having him in his life. Even in the midst of chaos, he knew that he had a chance to help Venti, to protect him, and that was all that mattered.

As he lay there, watching the flickering light of the fire and listening to Venti's breathing, Aether made a promise to himself. He would do whatever it took to keep Venti safe, to help him heal, and to make sure that they had a future together.

As he drifted off to sleep, Aether felt a sense of hope and peace that he hadn't felt in a long time. He had survived the worst, and with Venti by his side, he knew that he could survive anything.

As Aether and Venti slept in the cave, they were awakened by the sound of the Fatui bursting into the cave. Aether quickly jumped to his feet, brandishing his sword and preparing to defend Venti at all costs.

The fight was fierce, with Aether facing off against a group of Fatui soldiers who were all too eager to capture or kill him and Venti. But Aether was determined, fighting with all his might to protect his friend and their love.

In the midst of the chaos, Aether heard the sound of Venti's voice, calling out to him and encouraging him to keep fighting. It gave him the strength to keep going, even as he felt the strain of the battle on his body and his mind.

As the fight wore on, Aether began to feel exhaustion taking its toll. His movements grew slower, his blows less fierce, and he knew that he was running out of time.

But then the Fatui made a mistake. One of their soldiers stumbled, tripping over a rock and falling to the ground. In that moment, Aether saw his opportunity. He charged forward, his sword flashing in the dim light of the cave, and struck the soldier down.

With one less opponent to face, Aether felt a fresh burst of energy, and he fought even harder, determined not to let the Fatui touch Venti.

Finally, after what felt like hours, the Fatui retreated, defeated and humiliated. Aether stood over their defeated bodies, his sword still in hand, and he knew that they had won.

But as he stood there, a sense of exhaustion washing over him, Aether knew that they were not out of danger yet. The Fatui would not rest until they had what they wanted, and Aether was determined to protect Venti and their love at all costs.

As he carried Venti out of the cave, Aether knew that they still had a long journey ahead of them. But he also knew that they had each other, and that, as long as they had each other, they could face anything.

Together, Aether and Venti walked out into the night, ready to face whatever dangers lay ahead, and knowing that they were stronger together than apart.
