Ceres P.O.V

For a long time now, I only see darkness. How long has it been since I've been asleep? When will it be time for me to wake up? I need to wake up... I need to help the people... I tried to open my eyes, hoping that I'll be able to wake up. Then I felt my eyes finally opening

Once I finally opened up, I noticed that I was laying on what looked like coffin and I also noticed that flowers haven't withered either. Then I was greeted with what was left of the temple that I grew up, broken pillars and ceiling, the walls looked like its ready to collapse at any minute

'Just what happened here?' I thought and I saw my spell book and sword in the coffin with me. Once I picked up my spell book, sword and my satchel, I left the temple. When I got outside, I turned to look at the temple and I was shocked, the temple was in ruins

'What happened to the other monks, nuns, or the priestesses in training? They would never leave the temple in such a state' I thought and I started leaving what was left of my former home

I knew where I was since I can recognize the landscape here, looks like I'm close to Mondstadt, the Land of Freedom founded by the Anemo God Barbatos and my Vision reveals that I'm using Anemo power. When I visit different lands that the Archons rule over, my vision changes

As I walked through the field, I can see the city that I used to visit, but the city looked bigger from the last time.

'Seriously, just how long was I sleeping for?' I asked myself, then I saw a blonde boy with long braided hair and a floating child, and I felt the Anemo power within the boy, the Archon must've blessed him with the power. Then a huge shadow flew over and I was surprised to see Dvalin, and he landed in the heart of the woods, so I immediately ran towards the forest. When I got deep enough in the forest, I saw Dvalin on top of a small hill and the Anemo God, Barbatos 'Barbatos?'

"...Don't be afraid ...It's alright now, I'm back" Barbatos said to Dvalin, and in the corner of my eye, I saw the blond boy and the floating child from earlier. The boy's Anemo power reacted a bit and it looked like it startled Dvalin. He swung his claw hand at Barbatos, luckily he managed to move out of the way in time. He looked around to see who startled Dvalin, but found no one, and Barbatos teleported away. Not soon after Dvalin flew away into the skies, and I saw one of Dvalin's tears floating on the hill that he was on earlier. I walked towards the hill and grabbed it

'It's tainted... Dvalin... What happened to you?' I thought as I looked at the tainted tear with a sad look

"Um... Excuse me?" I turned around and saw the boy and the floating child, I immediately put Dvalin's tear away in my satchel before they approached me "Who are you?"

"Me?" I asked as I pointed at myself

"Yes you! There's no else here!" The floating child said

"Can you introduce yourselves first?" I asked

"We asked you first!" The floating child said

"Be nice, Paimon" The boy said to the floating child who puffed her cheeks "Anyway, I'm Aether. And this is Paimon"

"A pleasure to meet you both. My name is Ceres and I'm a Priestess of the Seven Archons" I introduced myself

"Priestess of the Seven Archons? But Paimon thought they all died from a long time ago" Paimon said and I was shocked

"Died? What do you mean all died?" I asked with a shocked expression

"Well, Paimon heard they all died from the Archon War 2,000 years ago. Paimon was really surprised to hear that you're a Priestess of the Seven Archons, so that means... you're the only one left in the whole world!" Paimon said, and I fell onto my knees
