Somewhere in celestia...

A lone woman floated around as she worked on something. She was only missing one last piece to finally creating her final piece. The thing she has been working on for days end.

The woman looked youthful, but she was far from young. She was tall and slender, her long free-flowing cloud white hair flowing behind her as her fiery red eyes observed the object. She held a small object in her hand, a grim smile plastered on her pink lips. Her peace was soon disturbed as someone came unannounced into her office. That caused an irk mark to appear on her forehead.

"My grace, Lady asmoday." A monotone voice spoke to her. "I have some news that I have to share about the seven."

Letting out a quiet huff off annoyance, she turned around to look at the bowed figure. It was one of the many angels that roamed around celestia, and even her most trusted one. As much as she was annoyed, the mention of the seven peaked her interest.

"Stand and speak, Asteria." Her velvety voice said. She sat with her legs crossed in the air, her gloved hand against her cheek as her fingers tapped against it.

As soon as her lady said that she stood up instantly. Asteria looked at Asmoday with her dull soft pink eyes. Her periwinkle hair was up in a high ponytail with a white bow supporting it. Her clothing consisted off a white bodice with small silver gems, whilst her skirt was longer at the back and shorter at the front- a swirl pattern adoring  the skirt as a pink bow was stuck to the back. On her back, large pure white wings were sprouted out.

"I've heard that some of the seven are planning to start a rebellion against celestia." Asteria confessed, her hand on her chest as her face was stern.

Asmoday listened to Asterias confession. Her lips twitched up in a smirk as soon an obnoxious laugh escaped her mouth.

"HAHAHAHAH! Oh dear Asteria, I already knew." She announced. When her little laughing fit stopped, she finally stopped floating. She walked over to Asteria, her heels making a clacking sound. When she got infront of her, she patted her head and then stroked her face gently. "Though, I'm grateful that you told me.That's why you're one of my favourites." She confessed before pulling away.

Asteria was surprised at her lady's outburst, but her words of praise caused a small rosy colour to appear on her neutral face. "If..you knew..then why aren't you doing anything about it?"

"Silly little Asteria.." Asmoday clicked her tongue, wiggling her finger in disapproval. "Ofcourse I've been working on something. It's a secret but.." she paused for a second, getting a good look at Asteria. "You're worthy of knowing this little..project of mine."

Asterias eyes lit up, a proud smile on her face. "My grace, this is an honour."

"It should be." She said sternly. "If the seven think they can disobey the heavenly principles, then they are far from it." She let out a sound of annoyance.

Asmoday then pulled out a remote and pointed it to a wall before clicking on the button. When she pressed it, the wall started to rumble and slowly started to turn. Right there, it revealed someone locked in a cylinder with lots of cables stuck to them.Their eyes were closed and their hair was elegantly organised. Asteria let out a gasp at the reveal, astonishment in her eyes.

Asmoday tilted her head in a way to tell her to follow her, which Asteria did. When the both of  them stood infront of the unknown person, asmoday opened the cylinder as smoke escaped from it aswell.

"This is one of my finest new creations." Asmoday said, a proud sadistic smile on her face. "She's the perfect being. She's able to feel all types of emotions, just like the people of Teyvat, but she's way more powerful than that. Her job will be to befriend the seven, gain their trust and gather information about them. All that's missing..is the life source."

Asteria broke her gaze of the subject and looked at Asmoday. It was outstanding that it only took her a few days to make something like this. "Where are you going to get the life source, your grace?" Asteria asked.

Asmoday chuckled at her question. She finally opened up the palm of her hand, which showed the small object. It...looked like a chess piece. "Huh..?" Asteria looked at it confused.

"This is a gnosis. Normally, it would hold the elemental power of the different elements. Like for example, morax- the lord of Geo has the geo gnosis which holds the power of geo. Easy enough?" Asmoday explained. She then looked at Asteria who nodded at her question. "Good. However, this gnosis will hold not just a new power, but also the life source of my little creation. It gets taken away from her for too long? She's as good as dead."

Asteria nodded to this,understanding the danger if the creature looses its gnosis. "How about her land?"

"I shall take some of Barbatos land. His land is quiet big."

Asmoday then neared the creation. She stroked its head and then smashed the gnosis into her chest. Asteria stood there nonchalantly as she observed everything that was going on. Asmoday soon pulled away and rubbed her hands to get off any imaginary dust.

"She shall awake soon."

Not long after she said that, the creations eyes opened, exposing soft e/c eyes. It let out a confused sound as it looked around. Both Asmoday and Asteria were talking about the plan until they heard it speak. Asmoday made her way over to her creation with haste to unstrap her.

"Welcome..Y/n"
