3rd POV:

For a while the Geo Archon and the Pyro Archon have been seeing each other. The people around the streets would see the couple eating at a restaurant or just simply walking and having a nice chat. The two nations enjoyed seeing their archons enjoying each other and actually having a life outside of leading the nation and their duties. Some were disgusted and disappointed that the they would even dare to see each other. But the archons didn't really care for their peoples input on their relationship.

But that was before things changed, before the Pryo Archon's nation turned against her. The people in her nation that didn't like how she was dating the Geo Archon, their "enemy" as they called him. Lied and betrayed their very own archon. They told the nation folks that their archon committed treason, that she agreed to join the Geo Archon in ruling his nation and give away their own nation to him.

Of course the people weren't happy, they wanted to be their own nation instead of joining the Geo one. The Pryo Archon was out on a week long trip alongside the Geo Archon so she wasn't aware of what was happening in her nation. Unfortunately that night she returned, the people came after her. They set fire to multiple buildings, they chased her, screaming at her, and calling her a traitor. The people with visions, the very same ones who she had granted them their visions, threw their own fire at her. They chanted, "Burn the traitor! Burn the archon that committed treason! The one we trusted but betrayed us!"

She had burn marks all on her back, arms, legs, and anywhere else they had aimed and managed to hit. She couldn't call from help, the archon was on her own. She stumbled on many things as she ran from the mob, her heart beating fast and loud, and her breathing was fast and rushed, she, herself, was getting dehydrated. She had attempted to stop them with her flames as well but they kept pushing and fighting to get her.

Finally, she saw the border between the Pryo and Anemo nations. The archon crossed the border and her body quickly crumbled to the ground. The Pyro people stopped at the border, not daring to cross it. they threw more fire, arrows, and anything they could at the weak archon. One of the soldiers that was she once called her friend appeared in front of the large crowd. She thought the her friend would stick out her hand and help her, defended her, but she was disastrously wrong. The Pyro Archon's friend spat on her and turned to the crowd only to shout, "The traitor has crossed the Anemo border! This Archon before you is no more, we shall found a different one, a better one! One that doesn't betray their own people!"

They crowd cheered at the speech but once more her "friend" spoke, "Kill this fucking pathetic woman of an archon that we once called if you want. She is no more to us!" And the crowded roared with excitement at the final speech. The people were about to finish the archon off, but stopped almost immediately when their ex-archon started speaking,

"I've done nothing wrong! I've committed no treason to my nation nor have I betrayed my people! I am your archon, the creator of the visions you wield. I've protected my people for millennia's, I've protected your kins, your sons and daughters. I've protected you! I created this nation from the bare ground you stand on, the one you live on. Yet, you repay with me this proclamation of committing treason and this punishment of death. You use the fire I've given you to kill me, the arrows I gave you materials to make! I am your archon!" 

A woman whose vision, strapped on to her skirt, and a sword in hand stepped out of the crowd only to look at the archon and laugh, "You're not our archon anymore, you've committed the highest treason and WE'VE come to deliver you your punishment. And you dare say against us, for that I think you shall perish!" 

The woman lifted her sword in the air about to strike the archon but before she could, a bright white light blinded the crowd, stopping the woman from hitting the archon. A scream, a cry, a yell was the only thing heard from inside the light. Then the light died down, the archon of which the woman was a trying to kill was gone, disappeared. The crowd cheered and celebrated their achievement of killing the Pyro Archon or they thought they killed her. After that night word got around about the Pyro Archon's assassination and treasonous act, the Pryo nation thought they were hero's.
