Furina POV

I add the Gnosis as a charm in between the bow I have on my waist. Neuvillette smiles and Wriothesley chuckles, "Alright now go to sleep, and don't let anyone take the Gnosis from you okay right?" I nod. They walk out and I fall asleep.

——

Once I wake up I feel different. I don't know if it's because I just got the gnosis or something happened while I was sleeping?..
I get up and start to get ready for the day, once I finish changing I hear knocks on the door followed by somebody speaking. "Lady Furina, are you up yet?"
I recognize the voice as Wriothesley, "I am, what brings you here Wriothesley?" I open the door. He looks out of breath, I invite him inside and give him a cup of tea, I take out some maroons and offer him some, he gladly takes a few. "Now.. why did you wanna speak with me?" I ask. "Well, the Knave wanted to have a 'chat' with you. Regarding Fontaine.." He responded.
"I see.."
"And she wanted to invite you over to her estate, or she could simply come here."
"I..uhm.. is there any way Neuvillette can attend this meeting with me?.."
"That's why I personally came to tell you this information, she requested a 1v1 conversation.."
I gulp. She wants to speak with me?.. alone?.. what's she planning? How am I not sure she wants to take the Gnosis?!

"I'll attend. But she must come here." I say, Wriothesley looks at me and nods. "Very well then. I'll go inform her." He walks out and takes a maroon with him. I stand up and I take off my pajamas and put on my work clothes. My regular shorts and shirt with my jacket. I walk out but then realize I left my hat, who cares? I'll just not wear it for today.

——

Arlecchino arrives and she makes herself welcome. "Greeting Knave!" I smile at her, just keep calm..just keep calm.. I take a seat and the Knave sits across from me. "I couldn't help but notice. Where is your party hat?" The Knave stares at me and then looks away. She covers her face.
Is she plotting against me?!
"You should wear your hair out like that more often.." She looks back at me. Her face is a bit pink.
Is she angry?!

"Let's begin shall we? What matters did you wish to discuss..?" I smile warmly. I have to make sure she doesn't kill me. "I wanted to discuss Fontaine. Regarding the prophecy. I wanted to partner with Fontaine's god, I can help you all. After all, Fontaine is the land of my birth." She grins and takes a sip of tea. She observes me intently. I nod "In what ways would you like to support Fontaine?" I smile. "I wanted to deploy a group of Fatui guards to help escort anybody in harm of the primordial water. And I wanted to offer funds for any projects that will help prevent the prophecy."
She says as she stares at me intensely, is she gonna kill me?! I clear my throat. "of course, we would love to accept your help. But, oh we're are my manners? You would like something in return yes..?" I ask with a nervous chuckle. Please don't kill me please don't kill me please don't kill me-

"I would want just a regular chat with you, at a restaurant perhaps?" Alrecchino says.
A date?!..
"I hope that's alright with you," She adds. I am speechless, I mutter some words before smiling.
If I refuse she might kill me.
"Yes I don't mind, speak to Neuvillette regarding my schedule and also the support you're offering us." I smile softly, "Farewell Alrecchino, this was a rather pleasant chat." We shake hands and I run to Neuvillettes office.

Neuvillette POV

Lady Furina barges into my office, "Lady Furina?-" She interrupts me. "I'm going on a date with Alrecchino." I stand up. I remain silent for a minuet or two before speaking. "No offense Lady Furina. What the fuck?" I grab my forehead and groan. I grab my phone and call Wriothesley. "Baby, can you come over right now? Yes everything's fine. No it's not me, yes.. yes it's her... Just come over babe! ...can you hang up first?" I sigh and hang up.

I put the phone down and turn to Lady Furina. "Furina. How? What- when?! And most of all. Why?" I watch her nervous expression and she burst out crying. And Wriothesley happens to arrive at the same time. He calmly walks over to her and calms her down, "Shh..shh.. why are you crying? It's alright.." He gently rubs her back as she finishes crying. He wipes her last tears away and smiles softly. "She's going on a date with Arlecchino." Wriothesley is quiet for a while, "Ermm.. Lady Furina? How did this occur?.." Wriothesley says calmly. "I- she offered Fontaine help and!" She says between sobs, "And she s-said that I could..repay her with a date!" She continues crying while Wriothesley pats her back.

——

Lady Furina leaves to her room and Alrecchino walks inside off my office regarding her help, we sort things out and she mentions the date, I stare at her and nod. I plan out a schedule to make it as soon as possible to get it out of the way. Alrecchino leaves and I go to Furina's room.
"Lady Furina-"
I ask as I walk in, she is sitting infront of a mirror and she turns to look at me, I was scared at first. I thought she was seeing something other than her reflection but she was just doing her mascara. I sigh and sit next to her. "Have you managed to control your new powers yet?" I ask her. She nods excitedly, "look I can make my 3 little guys bigger and stronger now!" She claps her hands together and they all surround us while floating around. They are a tad bit bigger but way more stronger. I chuckle, "That's very nice. I scheduled your date with Alrecchino for next week Thursday, is that alright?" She nods and smiles,

"Dad look I can also do this!" My eyes widen when she calls me 'dad' but she doesn't seem to have noticed or cared, I sigh and smile. "What is it?" She stands up and move her hands in a receiving manner. As if she were getting handed a gift. Tears stream down her face and into her hands. She murmurs something and the tears start to float up and become some sort of water currents out of the water.

"Look, I can create water currents with my tears!" She smiles and puts a pen through the current. It gets dragged along the current and it falls right infront of me. I smile and pick it up. "That's impressive Furina." Later on she ends up falling asleep and I call Wriothesley so he can pick her up and put her in her bed. We leave and I kiss Wriothesley on the cheek.

Furina POV

I had yet another strange dream.

"Ughh.. where- ew! Where am I?" I say as I toss a piece of paper off me. I look around and see the former Archon Eugiria bowing down and pleading with someone, there all people behind her begging as well. I walk up to them and pat Eugiria's shoulder, but my hand goes right through her. She starts speaking. "Heavenly principles please! I beg of you! I just couldn't stand their sorrow and felt pity! I beg of you! Please don't give them any sin! I beg you. Please!" Then they all fade away.

I fall backwards into nothingness and keep falling deeper and deeper. I eventually stop and another vision appears. It's Eugiria again. She pats an Oceanid on the head as they slowly form into a human. "Thank you so much great Archon!" She turns Oceanid after Oceanid into a human. "Remember it's only an illusion. I can't make you fully human, avoid contact with water unless you wanna become this again. I'm so happy to see you all joyful." She smiles and leads them out the water.

I follow behind then, I watch as they start to blend in with society. And how they reproduce. I slowly start to understand everything, I panick with a sudden realization and run towards Eugiria. But this time, I bump right into her, she turns and looks at me shocked. "Focalors-? No Furina it is right? What are you doing here?- what!?" She turns to cover me. "Look, please save them. Save them all. I don't wish to see them sad or pitiful. Please.." and she fades away again. I spring up from my sleep.

It gets hard to breath as I stand up and run towards my notebook. I open a new page.
If she was begging the heavenly principles to not curse them with sin.. and she was telling me to save 'them' . And she turned oceonids into humans, she told them to avoid 'water' or else they turn back.. and if I'm correct. I saw them reproducing into humanity. Then that means. No one in Fontaine is human, they are all half oceonids with the illusion that Eugiria made. And the heavenly principles got mad and cursed them all with sin, and that's why everyone's always guilty. And she told me to save them, I have to erase their sin. And make them purely human.
That explains the memory's Focalors gave me.. but- how am I going to save them? Save all of Fontaine so I don't end up alone..again.
