The ways we've gone

The atmosphere in the city of a inazuma was tense. Even the smallest of birds could feel it, as they uneasily rested on branches swaying lazily in the breeze.

Miko looked up from her book as she spotted the crowd of people gathered at the statue, and the animals dozing beside her could also feel it as their ears perked up.
Lightning crackled as dark storm clouds blotted out the grey sky.

It was time.

———————

Over at the tenshukaku, a crowd was gathering as the young, orange-haired male kneeled in front of the statue surrounded by guards...

"Thoma!" Lumine squeaked quietly next to y/n, who already had a hand resting on her catalyst. She had combed her hair carefully so she could better conceal her long and recognisable ear. Good thing there were some other citizens of inazuma bearing h/c hair or she would have been found out ages ago...

Just then, y/n's eyes looked up as she saw the raiden shogun, calmly stepping on the wooden platform and towards thoma. She elegantly held up a hand, its grasp ready to receive another vision. The shogun looked at Thoma, her condescending stare focused as his vision began to shake violently at his side threatening to desert him any second.

Whoosh!

And with a struggle, it was free. Time slowed as the glowing vision flew through the air like an ember in the winter, glowing with a brilliant warm light contrasting the dull and grey city as it was pulled towards the clutches of the electro archon...

Y/n's eyes widened when lumine dashed into the air, electro particles left behind her as she grabbed the vision and landed smoothly on the ground, the glowing orb clutched to her chest.

...is she stupid brave, or just stupid?
Y/n seriously thought about throwing lumine off the top of dragonspine...

"You are an exception, it seems."y/n looked back towards the shogun, who was descending towards lumine rapidly.

"Exceptions...the enemy of eternity." Hearing those words, y/n's ears couldn't help but perk up a bit in anger. She turned back in time just to witness the shogun pulling a sword out of her chest.

Ah yes, the...moso...Musou something. Y/n never bothered learning the ridiculous, unnecessarily long titles that ei or her random things had. Who the hell names their sword "Miso no hat touchy"??

Y/n had a feeling she got the name wrong but screw it, name was probably close enough. She never had a gift with pronouncing long words properly. There were more important things to worry about at that moment than pronouncing the name of a stupid sword anyways...

Y/n's eyes widened as the shogun lunged at Lumine with her sword. No worries, though...

the electro archon was fast, but y/n was too.

Lumine let out a gasp of relief as the ruler of inazuma was blown back by a blast of cryo. The wind stilled, as the crowd fell into silence.

Lumine was on the ground nearby, y/n standing over her with the catalyst drawn. Her cryo vision gave off a turquoise hue, glowing and pulsing with energy as electro crackled around her.(yes if you forgot she still got those kitsune powers)

The shogun narrowed her eyes, obviously debating what to do next before a large portal opened behind her. Everything was a blur, as lumine and y/n were sucked into the dimension.

———

Y/n's vision grew clearer as she was now standing in the very place she'd long dreaded.

The plane of Euthymia.

A large tori gate loomed overhead, casting an imposing shadow upon the stone. The sky was a tapestry of vermillion fading into dark red, everything screamed "danger" to y/n.

And of course, sitting in the middle was her.

Dark violet hair swishing in the nonexistent winds, the traditional kimono of inazuma and that solemn expression which hadn't seen a smile since the archon war.
The real electro archon herself...

Ei.
