Divine Universes | !Sandrone!

Part 10

Y/n pov

What do I want to do? What should I do? I mean, there's nothing much. 

When I passed out in the Fortress of Meropide - when the agent was helping me escape - I had a memory from my life on the other universe.

I kept getting bits and parts back slowly at a time, but I remember 1 crucial thing. I had pulled my 'friend' Veronica with me into that portal. That means that she should be somewhere in Teyvat! 

I ponder around the subject, and yet, it seems unlikely that she remembers her memories. Wouldn't she be looking for me by now, since in the memory, we seemed pretty close? Unless Veronica was injured or hurt, maybe even dead!...

I actually didn't care much since... The thing was that I didn't know her that much right now, and even if I was friends with her in the past, it would be weird thinking of caring for her right now. You know? I just couldn't explain. 

Being some-what 'part' of the Fatui has changed me. I had cared less about anyone I used to care about, I would slash at an enemy without mercy, in a blink of an eye and me... I have changed. The things above were just some, and being part of the Fatui scared me.

It wasn't scaring me because of the cold-hearted harbingers, but what was happening to me. It felt like I was rottening from the inside, slowly destroying me. Who knows what would happen to me if I still stayed here?

I know I was just a mere experiment of the mighty 7th harbinger, but I now was changed. Both Sandrone's and Dottore's experiments changed me. I felt weird, not like me, and I didn't like that feeling. It felt wrong...

Staging an escape was worthy of a try but was really dangerous. The Fatui agents positioned for patrol would be hard to pass, and lying to them wouldn't help either.

It was either escape or stay in the Fatui to rot.

Which one would I choose?

Of course the escape one. But, if I did get caught, I would probably get sentenced to death. This made me shiver... But.. I still had the adventures I had planned out to do!

This gave me a rush of hope, and I took a deep breath, ready to plan my escape!

I would first have to make an excuse to Sandrone, to get away from her. Then, I would have to find my way out. I've explored the corridors quite a few times before. I would have to find which paths I would go...

Time skip

I got my plan ready to go and I said to Sandrone, "Heyoo, so I'm going to go out for some training in the arena, k?"

She replies, not looking up from her work, "Fine, but don't get yourself any injuries and don't cause any trouble"

"Of course I won't" I say, with a hint of sarcasm.

I walk outside, heading in the direction I would usually head for the arena, but I turned when I was supposed to go straight.

I had my bag, weapons and food/supplies. Map? Check. Notebook to contain all my notes? Check. A bag of clothes? Check.

All the things I needed were there, except I felt really odd leaving the place I've ever only stayed/been to for some time of my life. Mostly like 5-6 years.

I slowly crept out the door to get to the other side, and everything was going well until...

"You there! Halt!" a guard says, pointing at me with their weapon.

I put my hands up, I had a plan in case this happened, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm just wandering around and uh.. I'm sure wandering around doesn't need to be paid attention to, does it?"
