idk bro gimme a break

Across the bridge lies another you - Random

tbh - L I don't feel this could be better, so im remaking

.

It's been quiet around Teyvat lately, well in Liyue, at least.

After being captured inside that damn prison back in Fontaine, then escaping with the help of the traveler. Childe is back to the land of the geo archon.

He feels tired after all that drama. That hydro archon is a pain in the ass.

Truth be told, he just came there to let loose a little but what does he get? A prison sentence for a crime he didn't even commit.

How the hell did that damn archon wannabe become the ruler of that thriving land? Who says archons can be amazing leaders?

Not Childe. Just hearing all the news from his informat is enough evidence to prove his claim.

To think Barbatos didn't even bother ruling his land. That electro archon sealed all the possible routes to her country. The geo archon faked his death inorder to retire. The only archon who stood in their feet was the lesser lord kusanali because even that batshit crazy hydro archon who blessed him isn't right on the head. Above all, no archon is really good at leading their people. Power doesn't equate to good leadership skills.

The point is, Childe is fucking tired. He needs some sleep, he needs some rest-

"The Tsaritsa asked me to tell you, investigate the Chasm immediately. There's been an abnormal activity going on down there, inspect the area near the withered tree"

Childe nearly pulled his hair out.

But Celestia, who the hell is he to go against his archon's order? Exactly. The one sitting in the lowest rank of this official hierarchy she made. In other words, he can't complain about it.

Down to the musty area of the Chasm.

He hates this place so much.

It's so dark, annoying and dangerous. One wrong step and he could die, Amazing! At least he could get some peace.

It's too late to regret but he should have let himself get sweeped by the primordial waves.

Kicking a stone, he lets out an irritated huff "Let's make Childe do the work no one wants!" He says comically to himself "Everyone probably rejected this shitty side job" he murmured

Sometimes, Childe feels like an errand boy instead of a vanguard.

When he reached the tree, he walked around the area and checked most of his surroundings. In which, he sees nothing out of the ordinary.

Suspicious activity, huh.

Upon taking a closer look, if Childe could point out something, the purple goo that surrounded the area became more dimmer. It's definitely noteworthy, but what harm does it really do? Sure, it gives him and the abyss some sort of buff. Apart from that, it doesn't do much.

So, Childe didn't think much when he initiated contact with it.

But holy shit, this is bad.

The supposed liquid substance turned hard, it looks more like a crystal now. Quickly, it broke itself into pieces, making the surface Childe was standing on, rumble.

Seeing how the crystal fragments turn itself into a diamond shaped thing, Childe took out his kamera.

When he was about to take a picture, a whirling hole was summoned inbetween the fragments. The immense pressure shocked Childe, making him lose his grip and let the kamera get sucked inside.
