Archon of time

An Ice Cold Gift

As Noct and Furina were packing for the long Journey. There was a knock on the door, he leaves to answer to find Lumine and Paimon. 

Noct: Oh ...it's you two. 

He was about to close the door on them, Lumine jammed her foot between the frame and the door. 

Lumine: W-wait! Ow! Hold on! We heard you and Furina were gonna travel to Inazuma. 

Noct: Yeah, what's it to you? 

She pushed the door open , as she leaned against the door rubbing her foot. 

Paimon: Well , we were wondering if you two are gonna partake in the Lantern Rite in Liyue? 

Noct: Lantern Rite? What's that ? 

Lumine: I-it's a festival held every year, it's to honor those that fought in the Archon War . As well as those who left to defend Liyue's Border. 

Noct: I see... 

Lumine: You don't seem interested? 

Noct: That's cause I'm not, you seem to have forgotten. I'm racing a certain archon to get the Gnoses . 

Paimon: That's true... 

Lumine: I mean.. I can understand the pressure . But maybe you and Furina should go give it a try. 

Noct: .... I'll think about it. Is there anything else? 

Lumine: Hmm... actually theirs one more thing. 

Noct: Yes? 

The traveler then looked at Paimon and nods. 

Paimon: Oh, that's right! Um ..your highness. We were wondering if you remember the name " The Balladeer".

Noct: So you remember that name as well? 

Paimon: Well... Paimon's never heard that name before. But Lumine here, believe their was someone with that name... 

He looked at the traveler. Then looked at Paimon.

Noct: Paimon mind giving me and Lumine a bit of Privacy? 

She nods and floats towards a nearby book store. 

Noct: I take it, you felt something changed with the world? 

She nods.

Noct: Well, I can tell you what happened. That name of the Harbinger, even though WE remember it. No one else on Teyvat does, you can thank Irminsul for that. 

Lumine: Irminsul? 

Noct: Imagine a giant tree that houses all of history for Teyvat. 

She nods. As he explained the events that took place, prior to them returning to Fontaine. He excludes on what happened to Rukkhadevata.

Noct: That's what happened... 

She nods .

Lumine: I might make a return trip to Sumeru to visit Nahida, then. She might be able to help me find anything related to my brother.

Noct: Who knows... is there anything else you wanna ask? 

She shakes her head. As he made his way back inside, he noticed Furina was writing in the journal again. 

Noct: Writing more? 

She looked over at him. 

Furina: I'm all finished packing up.

She points to her bag, which is on her couch. He nods as he made his way to finish. She returned to writing in her journal. She wrote for a while, but she stopped when she remembered that girl Noct was with. She gets up and makes her way to their bedroom .
