❝ 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐘 ends, your fate has been prolonged for all these years. everytime your plea for more time had always been heeded, now we can no longer accept it. ❞ the sustained of heavenly principles spoke with all her glory as she floated in front you.

you both were in a place that seemed more lost in space, a domain far from teyvat, the planet you always knew as your home. a plethora of stars with thrown everywhere, nothing beneath your feet, yet you felt a surface beneath them.

you knew what this was, you knew exactly what was happening. " the only reason i prolonged my untimely death was to protect fontaine and its archon. "

" to protect the sin that plagued fontaine's citizens with a prophecy ? how determined can you be, you knew exactly what was going to happen either way and we are well as sure that you need not be invovled with it all, so please, save your useless pleas. " she refuted, closing her eyes, dissapointment hanging over her like a dark cloud.

" you were created to over see fontaine, not to interfere with matters nor the people. "

" i'm aware. that is why now, that all has been forgiven but i. i have chosen to finally accept my fate, it was my fault for taking away more power from celestia to keep on living. " you spoke softly, knowing that once you are gone from this world, no one will be there to protect the archon.

" ... "

" let the ritual begin. "

you looked back behind you to see the only two beings that never left your side during most of your life as the immortal you were.

furina, the previous hydro archon, held her hand close to her heart, fighting back the feeling to cry, she never wanted it to end like this, if only she knew sooner.

" is this really the end... ? " the words left her lips in a saddened and cold whisper.

" i too wish it wasn't. " neuvilette, the hydro dragon, spoke with authority, he put a hand on furina's shoulder. he had known for long this day was bound to come, his tears had already been wasted away long ago for the immortal.

in his heart he knew, that you were important to him and fontaine. and he would keep the memory for as long as he lived.

the sustainer of heavenly principles brought herself up higher before she brought her hand up in front of her. her hand glowed a bright orange for a short while before the same glow erupted around you. it seemed simple, within a few seconds the glow had turned to form a small red cube. it floated towards her other hand and she held it.

you felt as if something had been taken away from you, but you don't know what amd you doubted you ever will.

your [c] eyes glanced over to your shoes to see that your body had begun to disintegrate into small red particles. you took this chance to walk over to furina and neuvilette.

you held both their hands in yours and looked back up at them both.

" thank you both, continue to keep fontaine in order and stay safe, never lose your way throughout, promise me that, please. " you felt like crying too.

" i promise. " they both uttered at the same time, by the time the finished saying that, you had already been gone.

left only to be a memory they will forever cherish.
