Welcome, welcome - GH0ST2023 here, back with a rewrite of Devils Never Cry. I promise that I'll try to improve the story from the original one and pay more attention to this.

Without further ado, let's begin!

"All right - guess Mondstadt is where we start. What do you say, kid?"Kiran asked, his arms crossed as he sat on a small boulder. Aether sighs and got on his feet and wiped off any traces of sand on his pants.

"Guess it's better than nothing."He said with a small shrug as Paimon flew beside him.

"Oh finally - Paimon thought that we were gonna be here all day. Now, come on! Let's go!"Paimon shouted in excitement, ready to begin their adventure.

Yūrei sighs in annoyance as the puppet got on his feet," Of course the little shit would be excited..."

However, before they could move forward, a bright light suddenly blinded their vision as the party all of a sudden collapsed on the ground, losing consciousness.

-- Kiran Harumi --
A swordsman who is not from this world. While not wielding a Vision, his skill and ability makes him a fearsome opponent.

Aether's ears rang against his skull. His eyes fluttered open, regaining consciousness as the blonde traveler sat up and placed a hand on his forehead.

"Kid... Kid, there you are...!"

Aether looks up and sees Kiran kneeling before him with Yūrei and Paimon standing beside him. Kiran let out a small sigh of relief," Thought we lost you there, kid... Are you injured?"

"What's the difference...?"Aether asked as he held his hand out, which Kiran took and helped him up on his feet.

"Life or death. Keep your blood in, kid - you'll need every drop of it if you're gonna want to survive Teyvat."Kiran said with a nod. Aether nodded back in return.

"Thanks for the tip..."

Aether then looked around and realized that they were no longer in Falcon Coast, but now they find themselves in a theater. He looked around in confusion," Where are we...?"

"No clue - Yūrei was the first one to wake up."Kiran said, gesturing Yūrei as the puppet nodded to confirm Kiran's words. However, a new series of voices joined the fray, Kiran added," It seems we're not alone here."

Panicked voices were then heard throughout the theater as they all began to awaken from their sleep.

"What the...?"

"Where are we?"

"Where am I?"

Aether, Kiran, Yūrei and Paimon's heads popped out from behind the seats in a cartoonish way as they observed the other people that were also in the theater. Yūrei's tongue clicked as he eyed all of the people in the room," Looks like we have people from Mondstadt, Liyue... Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan and the bastards of Snezhnaya."

However, when he said Inazuma, his eyes landed on a particular person which made his eyes flare up with rage and hate that he broke the seat that his hand was holding onto.

"And it seems like we are in the presence of important figures as well here too."Kiran nodded, his eyes wandering towards people in the room - especially to the Iudex of Fontaine.

Before the situation could escalate, another bright light engulfed the room as everyone covered their eyes - except for Kiran who stared into the bright light, completely unbothered. Someone in the crowd, however, screamed," MY EYES!!!"
