The End of the Crimson Witch

3rd POV

'Holy crap... She's beautiful...'

When Akemi heard about the way people talked about this Signora woman, she thought it was safe to say that her wicked attitude would match her appearance. It was now safe for her to say that it was definitely not the case.

Standing before her was the Raiden Shogun, and a beautiful blond haired lady with an elegant and sophisticated nature to her. The two of them looked over to Aether, Paimon and Akemi with a glance of disinterest and displeasure at their sudden intrusion into their small meeting.

Aether stood in front of Akemi, his face full of fury as he stood face to face with the 8th Fatui Harbinger, La Signora. "Signora..."

The Harbinger sighed, finally giving Aether her full attention. "I know, I know, You can't get me out of your mind. But you really don't need to call out my name all the time." She countered, her tone full of disgust and dread. "Don't go thinking I'm surprised to see you three here. I'm well aware that you hate me, with the way that you follow me around like a dark shadow."

'Signora... Doesn't that word mean "married woman"?' Akemi thought to herself as she admired the lady from afar. 'Whoever married her must be a lucky man...' She told herself, forgetful of Signora's evil intentions towards them.

"You're trying to seize control over Inazuma, aren't you?" Announced the traveller. Although, saying this didn't seem to cause a ruckus however, and the Raiden Shogun showed no reaction to his words, only watching the dispute unravel before her.

"Ah, so you came here to expose my crimes in front of the Shogun?" The Harbinger questioned, a small laugh escaping her lips as she rolled her eyes at the bunch. "Hehe, I'm just a Snezhnayan diplomat. I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about." The lady claimed, watching as Aether face contorted with anger.

"Guys,.." Akemi called out, taking notice of Signora's dismissive nature. "I don't think she's taking you seriously..."

"No kidding!" Paimon grumbled, venom seething from her voice.

Despite her dismissive nature towards them, Aether refused to turn back now. There was too much bad blood between them for him to simply retreat and pretend nothing happened. "For all those who have lost their visions..."

An exasperated sigh escaped Signora. "Stop talking about people and things I care nothing about." She demanded, folding her arms. Her lack of remorse for her actions was evident.

'I lost my vision... so does she mean me too?' Akemi questioned. After thinking about it for a while, the girl frowned, upset at the revelation. 'Aww... I don't even know her well...'

"They were nobodies to begin with, their names will be forgotten. But now, they get to be building blocks in the grand evolution to realize eternity." The confidence in Signora's showed no bounds, further inflating Aether and Paimon's frustration. "Is that not the greatest honour they could hope for in their tiny lives? Almighty Shogun, do correct me if I'm wrong."

The Archon in question refused to reply. In this moment, she was merely someone who watched over this dispute, awaiting to hand out her judgment to the culprit. Everyone knew that one wrong move in front of her would result in there demise if not careful.

"For Venti's Gnosis, and the people of Liyue you imperilled..." Aether began, his fists clenching as he sets on a major decision.

"That's ancient history, you certainly love to hold a grudge." Signora scoffed, her gaze turning to the Pyro user who only watched everything go down in silence. At the sight of her naïve and pitiful state, she smirked. "You should follow the example of the stray behind you. For once she's cute and compliant now that she's learnt to be silent. Perhaps losing ambition is a good thing."
