The Sovereign

The Mission

Third POV
it wasn't often the Tsaritsa sent more than one of the harbinger after something. But on this day she sent not only Childe, Tartaglia, out but also The captain Fatui harbinger number one, Capitano as well. The idea they were receiving was especially important to the Tsaritsa. Neither had any idea as to what the idea they were securing could be. They knew nothing but how valuable they were told it was.

"What could the Tsaritsa want in liyue?" Childe always did try to make conversation with the other's. He knew it would be a one side conversation the second he started talking. "Must be pretty important if she sends two of us."

"Agreed," the captain replied. "Must be something specificity delicate." Childe was used to getting passed by as he was the weakest of the harbingers.

They arrived at a secret house to the south east of Quinxu Pool. The house was seemingly vacant except for a casket sized stone box. There were details on the box that seemed archaic. They both recalled the description of the said item they were there for and confirmed this was it.

Everyone pushed the very heavy stone casket out and then they attached a few large anemo slimes to it.

The trek back to Snezhnaya would take a week as did the venture to the location. Caputano was the first of the eleven harbingers and spoke when needed. He had met Childe first at La Signora's funeral. The kid was full of joy for a harbinger.

Halfway through the way back something was calling out to Capitano about this stone casket. Begging for him to open it. He hadn't been given specific orders not to open it but he knew it was wrong. He still could stop himself. His body had a mind of its own and pushed the stone slate on the top of the casket and in lay a woman with bright white hair and she seemed to be sleeping. Eyes closed, arms folded on her stomach, but there was seemingly no breathing.

"What would the Tsaritsa want a body for?" His train of thought found itself derailed as the woman opened her eyes and a random dragon stood on front of him. It was blue with silver eyes. Thirty seconds later, the dragon disappeared and the woman from the casket fell into the captain's arms. He made quick work to put her back in the casket exactly as she was before closing it again.

He realized the value that the Tsaritsa saw in the thing, or person, they were transporting. She had to have a lot of power for one being kept in a box, and two, for the Tsaritsa to have them travel all this way. He retreated back into the house and to his bedroom and tried to sleep to no avail. Childe had been sleeping since they arrived at the house.

The luck of innocence. He was the youngest, newest, most happy with his life. He had a family and people to love as everyone else had nothing to lose. The captain was the strongest in all of teyvat but still he was often alone. The night came and gone and the captain had not gotten sleep. Chile raised and made breakfast before Capitano had left his room.

The two still had to go through part of Dragonspine and through Mondstadt.

"See I know we haven't known each other long but will I ever see your face?" Child asked.

"Privileged information." The captain said.

"I have never seen you eat thought. We have been on the road for a week and a half." Childe joked. The captain didn't reply and let the eleventh harbinger talk his head off only half paying attention.

The only person Capitano really talked to, was Columbia. As some of the first harbingers they had no one else to talk to as Dottore seemed and acted weird all of the time. They often let Dottore talk himself out and laugh about it later.

They set out once again and stoped in Mondstadt for the next night. Pantalone had a residence in all seven nations due to being the richest man in teyvat. They arrived back in Snezhnaya within a week and went there separate ways.

Child went to visit his family and the captain went home. Columbia stoped by humming a song that she often did. He let her in and had taken both his coat and mask off.
