In the vibrant City of Sumeru, beneath the watchful eyes of the seven Archons, a hidden force thrived—the Fire MOTH, led by Terminus. Comprising formidable individuals like Adam, Elysia, Mei, Kiana, Kyuusyou, Sirin Theresa, Bronya, Ruby, Ren, Velvet, Rita, and Durandal, they stood as a beacon against the brewing darkness in Khaenri'ah.


Unbeknownst to the Archons, Terminus, and his harem consisting of Rukkhadevata, Elysia, Bianka, Himeko, Kiana, Bronya, and Mei, reveled in the joy of their newlywed life. Terminus, a charismatic leader, took delight in surprising his harem with breakfast in bed, his culinary skills unmatched. His affections extended beyond his harem to Sirin, his younger adopted sister, and the entire Fire MOTH team, including Kyuusyou, Adam, Theresa, Ruby, Ren, Velvet, and Rita.


On one particular morning, Rukkhadevata felt unwell. Concerned, Terminus and the Fire MOTH, along with the Hyperion Crewmembers and the citizens of Sumeru who revered Rukkhadevata as their goddess, discovered the reason—she was pregnant. The news spread rapidly across Teyvat, the six other Archons, reaching even the ears of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles. However, the Sustainer remained indifferent, solely focused on maintaining control and enforcing the Heavenly Principles throughout Teyvat.


As word of Rukkhadevata's pregnancy circulated, joy resonated through the City of Sumeru. The Fire MOTH celebrated the impending arrival of a new life, a symbol of hope in the face of looming darkness. Amidst the revelry, the members of Fire MOTH engaged in conversations that revealed their concerns and aspirations.


"My dear Rukkhadevata, our family is expanding. This child shall know only love and protection," Terminus said with a warm smile.


"A symbol of our union, Terminus. Let the world witness the strength of our bond," Rukkhadevata replied with deep affection.


"Well, it seems our fearless leader is going to be a father. Any parenting tips, Terminus?" Elysia teased.


"Patience and love, Elysia. That's all a child needs," Terminus chuckled, his laughter echoing with genuine joy.


"This child will grow up in a world that demands strength. We must prepare them for the challenges ahead," Mei said, her expression thoughtful, as if contemplating the future.


"I'll teach them how to wield a sword and guns! We'll have our little training sessions," Kiana exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement at the prospect of passing on her skills.


"Da Bronya is analyzing the genetic makeup of the child. It will be fascinating to study. Perhaps they will inherit Subject Captain's and Subject Rukkhadevata's extraordinary abilities," Bronya said with her usual stoic tone, her analytical mind already at work.


"Life is a delicate dance between chaos and order. This child represents the harmony we strive to maintain," Velvet mused, her words carrying a sense of poetic reflection.


"We must ensure the safety of Rukkhadevata and the child. The darkness in abyss may pose a threat," Adam stated, his demeanor coolheaded, showing his concern for the potential dangers that lurked.


"Adam is right. We cannot let our guard down. We have a duty to protect this child and Teyvat," Theresa nodded in agreement, emphasizing the collective responsibility they all shared in safeguarding the future.
