Foiled Plots... Childe x Male Reader

PROLOUGE. DUEL BEFORE THE THRONE.

The Raiden Shogun stood before me at the throne, her piercing regal gaze falling past me as the doors opened. Footsteps rushed in, stopping just short of the steps leading to where I stood.

"The way people charge in here as they please... so uncivilized." I said, turning to face the traveler. A snotty looking girl in a little white dress. She looked like she could be squashed in an instant like a bug.
"If I didn't know this was Tenshukaku, I might have mistaken it for some street market."
I said, looking at the barren room, only decorated with the plainest throne in Teyvat.
"Have you learned your lesson now?" I smirked at the traveler. The little flying thing muttered something to the Traveler, looking worried.

"The right to punish Inazumans for their crimes is mine alone, not yours, Columbina." Raiden directed her gaze to me, looking down on me as if she were superior. Superior to the Fatui.

"Fine then." I said, brushing away her tone and facing the traveler.

"You were distributing fake visions!" The traveler yelled, gaining a look from the Raiden Shogun aswell as mine.

"You came here to accuse me for even caring about such trivial people?" I scoffed, resting my arms across my chest.

"I challenge you- to a duel before the throne!" The traveler said, drawing her blade. Her gaze was so full of hatred and anger, she almost frightened me. Almost.

"Proceed." I heard from Raiden Ei.

I laughed, bringing my hand up to my face.
"Pity." I said, placing my other hand on my hip.

The Raiden Ei watched as the battle took place, gazing down upon the mess being left in the Tenshukaku. Columbina's ice shell burst into thousands of glittering pieces, disappearing in seconds as they formed water droplets, glistening red in reflection of the fiery heat being emitted from her body.

"All- must- burn!" She shouted, twirling her body into a fiery wind spiral attacking the traveler. The traveler evaded narrowly, her companion healing her in an instant. (referring to switching characters in a party) The Raiden Shogun watched in amusement as Columbina fell, clutching her fingers into a fist. She puffed out harsh breaths in agony, looking back at the traveler.

"So- so strong-" She breathed heavily, "but how?"
The Raiden Shogun started to move from her place on the throne, walking slowly to cross the distance. The traveler looked back, readying hee sword but sighing in relief as the Archon passed her.

"I am a Snezhnayan diplomat... you know what happens when you lay a finger on me-!" Columbina said, trying to stand and act big but failing and seeming more like a child throwing a tantrum.

"I swear if you strike me I will make sure-" she staggered slightly, trying to gather her breaths back as she stood. She threw her hand out, nothing for the Shogun to stay back.
"The Fatui will make sure your precious Inazuma-" She yelled, staggering backwards.
"Stop! I order you!" She screamed, no longer sounding tough, just scared. Like a desperate last minute act of self preservation.
"And you! Filthy rats! All of you-!" She yelled, lunging forward to attack the Archon, who never flinched. In a swift movement, a purple flash of lighting cut through Columbina, her body falling to the ground. The archon held her sword close to her, seeming to have teleported through the purple light. She turned back, her eyes falling on the lifeless body. She pointed her sword outwards, and a giant beam of hot white lightning obliterated what was left of Columbina. Reduced to ashes.

The 3rd Harbinger of the Fatui, Columbina was dead.
The Maiden has fallen.
