Blossom of Help (Gorou x Reader Genshin Impact)

Part 14

Musoujin Gorge, Yashiori Island

General Gorou, flanked by five esteemed officials of the Sangonomiya Army, rode a treacherous sea-ride, and once moored, led a march towards Musoujin Gorge. The hollow creek nestled within these treacherous terrains was renowned for its waters capable of electric shocks, a peculiar yet advantageous natural phenomenon. Rumors had surfaced of a hostage situation involving important trade goods and sustenance, alongside the sinister intent of notorious samurai seeking to abscond with invaluable treasures.

"We are not far from the marked location on the map. Let us begin!" Gorou tried to motivate the other soldiers.

With determination etched in their eyes and resolve echoing in their steps, the team traversed the rugged paths, their armor gleaming under the faint sunlight that pierced through the dense foliage. Each official bore the emblem of their dedication to protect the realm, their allegiance unyielding to any adversary.

Upon reaching the hollow creek, the sound of rushing water filled the air. The water, a blend of mystique and danger, crackled with latent electricity, a testament to the unique properties of the gorge. General Gorou, with a stoic demeanor masking an unwavering determination, surveyed the scene. His strategic mind immediately formulated a plan to navigate this perilous setting. After all, their ship had an iron base, and that was not good at all.

Nazuchi Beach, between Kannazuka and Yashiori Island

"Halt! Resistance soldiers, we have orders from General Gorou! A team of people must bring a wooden ship or wooden raft from the nearest docks as fast as possible!"

"Wait...but that's in Tatarasuna. At this rate it will take a long time."

"Hold on! I still have the raft from the resistance battle, ages ago. It is quite battered down, but with a few minutes of fixing up, it should be ready to go!"

Musoujin Gorge, fifteen minutes later

This plan was already delayed by fourty-five minutes. How long could they possibly take?

"General Gorou, the raft has arrived."

"Finally. We have no time to waste, officers."

"The raft is not in as good condition as new, so be careful." The soldiers stationed at the beach took their leave.

The electrically charged water crackled ominously as General Gorou led the advance. The officials, trained and resolute, followed suit, their synchronized movements a testament to their unwavering unity. The turbulent currents surged, a natural defense against intruders, yet the Sangonomiya Army pressed forward undeterred.

With calculated precision, they navigated the hazardous creek, leveraging their insulated gear to withstand the shocks that surged beneath their feet. Each step was measured, every action deliberate as they approached the precious treasures, guarded fiercely by the malevolent samurai at Fort Fujitou.

The Sangonomiya Army had weathered the turbulent currents of the hollow creek in Musoujin Gorge, their wooden raft strained by the electric shocks coursing through the waters. 

General Gorou's strategic mind swiftly sprang into action as he assessed the imminent peril. With an unwavering determination to ensure the survival of his comrades, he rallied the team with a plan to avert disaster.

As the wooden raft groaned under the relentless assault of the electric currents, it splintered in protest. Panic threatened to unravel the team's resolve. 

Yet, Gorou's voice cut through the chaos like a beacon of hope. "Steady your positions! We'll use the remnants of the raft to create individual floats. We'll tie ourselves together and maintain proximity to distribute the shock!"

With urgency and precision, they salvaged what remained of the raft, fashioning makeshift floats while securing themselves together with the sturdy ropes. The remnants of the wooden raft were distributed among them, serving as shields against the electric shocks.

"Stay close and steady," Gorou commanded, his voice a steadfast reassurance amid the crackling currents. They clung to the precarious floats, the hum of electricity pulsating ominously beneath them. Gorou, positioned strategically at the forefront, guided the team with unwavering resolve, utilizing the remnants of the raft as a buffer against the shocks.

"Hold steady, soldiers! The sock...is coming."

The electrified water surged and spat, lashing at their makeshift shields, threatening to breach their defenses. Each member of the Sangonomiya Army braced themselves, their solidarity the only barrier between survival and peril.

With unified movements, they navigated the perilous currents. The electric shocks, though menacing and hurtful, were met with resilience and innovation. Gorou's plan held firm, the distribution of shock among them mitigating its impact as they neared the opposing bank.

As they approached the other side, fatigue weighed heavily upon them, their bodies strained from the intense ordeal. Yet, determination fueled their final push. With Gorou's guidance, they steered their makeshift floats toward the safety of solid ground.
