Chapter 10: The Message

"Are you serious, Sirius?!" Pris exclaimed. "I want them to see the performance of Twilight." She had become popular as an idol quickly, and soon Aether and Lumine were intrigued. "I agree. After all, it couldn't hurt to visit them." Lumine said, as Aether nodded. Pris sighed, knowing he wouldn't be able to convince them to say no. "I suppose...." 

"Yay! This performance is gonna be awesome! But, how to invite them...?" "We'll just send a letter, where we need to meet them, and boom, concert hall~!" 

"More like concert hell..."

***************

"Miss Jean, I got a message!" Klee waddled into Jean's room happily, her eyes sparkling. Jean was confused; Klee was never this happy since...that. "Klee? What is it?" "So, I got a letter from a certain someone!" Klee gave the letter to Jean, who opened it and was greeted with a yellow hologram. "Dear Jean and all others, you have been invited to see the special performance of Twilight. Do not ask who sent you this, or why you got this letter, or why the letter is a hologram." *There's a photo of the Windrise tree where they should meet.* "From A, L, and E"

"...A, L, and E??" Jean was confused, but she accepted anyway and didn't ask any questions. "Klee, if it is okay with you being away from Flower Eden for a while, can you inform the others?"

"Can do!" Klee saluted and hopped out of the room. Now the last thing she had to figure out was why Klee wore a ring...

************

Once eventually everyone got the message, they met up at the Windrise tree. "Hey again." They heard a certain stoic voice. They looked up...is that Bronya...? (THE STARFISH NOT THE CHARACTER FROM HSR)

"BRONYA?!" They exclaimed, a look of surprise spread across the Mondstadt people's faces. "What is this specimen...?" Tighnari asked, clueless and pondering. "Ah, this is...Uh...how do I explain...? I forgot again...." Qiqi replied, before taking out a dark blue notebook with the words scribbled on "Qiqi's Memories." She flipped through some pages, before landing on the 5th one. "This is....Bronya...Guardian Unit...of Estelle..." "But- Estelle's not here..." Jean replied. 'How could she be alive...?'

"Because she's not dead y'know." "REALLY?!" They all exclaimed in shock and excitement, except Diluc who remained stoic. "Yep. That letter you got- Which you should not ask me about- was sent by Aether, Lumine, and Estelle." "So, all of them are alive?!" Klee exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight as Qiqi held onto her arm, trying to control her platonic friend. 

"Technically, yes." Bronya said. "You seem to all have changed." "We always had hope they were alive!" Diona said as her eyes beamed as well. "As in the letter, which you have gotten, it is about the Performance of Twilight." "What's that?" Klee asked. Bronya's gem-like eye glowed, as a yellow hologram appeared once more. There was a picture of a black girl silhouette that seemed to represent Barbara, along with the girl standing on a large stage in a concert hall, and around her was a large crowd. "'The Performance Of Twilight' is a special concert to celebrate the gods, and a certain God shall sing. If you are curious, Twilight was a melody presumed to be made by the God of Harmony, but it was actually made by the god of Stars."

"There are 3 gods...?"

"Concordia, Neriah, and Sirius. Now let's not ponder on such things..." Bronya said, as a small yellow portal, but enough to fit them all, opened in the sky, and a white staircase led up to it. "Shall we go?"

************

Estelle has never been so happy. Once she saw the others enter Homeworld, she practically beamed with excitement. Her eyes were sparkling, she was kicking her feet, but she knew she had to wait. She instead sent a hologram of Aether to talk to them. 

"Hey there!" "Who are you?!" Zhongli said. "I'm the God of Harmony, but in hologram form! My name's Concordia, but soon you'll meet the real one!" The small hologram wore a sweet smile, gold bracelets around his arms and, the tips of his fingers gold, a white backless and sleeveless crop top with a diamond-shaped chest window, a pair of white silk ribbons (or the stuff around Barbatos's hips) around his hips, his hair was adorned with white ribbons with yellow flowers, and the tips of his hair were replaced with flames. "Now, the place you are in is Homeworld, home to all, or the main winged species, Pristinas! The Pristinas here are pretty nice, but you're in luck, today is the Performance of Twilight!" The hologram disappeared, and the group was left to explore. Meanwhile, the real Concordia sat on a cliff, and next to him was Neriah. "She'll do good, and I won't regret my decision, Neriah." Concordia said, as he wore a sweet smile on his face. "Fine Concordia."

Estelle wore a backless white dress with a yellow and black scarf like Lumine's with star symbols on the front, gold bride garters on her right leg, white heels with a Amber orange bow on the back of each, one banana-yellow glove on her right hand, and a hair accessory that looked like Lumine's earring but colored dark brown and canary yellow. "I'm ready, Pris." She said, as she attached a pair of earrings Fischl had gave her on her ears. They were just Oz's feathers...

"Very well then, miss Sirius."

**********

The group was still exploring, but the Hologram Concordia said that they were "special guests" for being the 3 god's acquaintances. "I still don't get it...That hologram was clearly Aether, but the hologram said that he was the God of Harmony and his name is Concordia?"

"Are you assuming that Aether is Concordia and that's his real identity...?" "I guess so. That was clearly Aether..." Klee's eyes sparkled with delight as a large yellow hologram appeared out of nowhere for all of Homeworld to see. It read "Star-Shooter Concert: Starting in 10 minutes!" "Star-Shooter...Oh look, there's a path! This must be a benefit of being acquaintances with Gods!" Klee said, before following the path, and surprisingly, it led them right to "Starlight Concert Hall." They found where the performance was, and saw a bunch of people, about 100,000, but specific seats with their name on it were written. Once they sat down, the lights dimmed, but just enough for them to see. A boy walked on stage, he looked to be 15, but he looked just like the hologram from before. Wait, he looks...familiar... "Welcome, welcome all, to the Performance of Starlight! Ever since the disappearance of our gods, we have been damaged, but now that I and the 2 have returned-" Mika drowned the man's words out. 'Wasn't this the man that appeared during the fight with that strange god...? And apparently, he's Concordia...' 

"-Finally, the performance of Twilight can begin~!" They heard a girl's voice say, as a wooden swinging chair like Furina's came down, and on it was a girl, she looked 15, and had blonde hair with bangs and very short hair on the back, her eyes sparkled as her eyes landed on Amber, she wore a black one shoulder dress with only a right sleeve and white gloves with amber-colored gems shaped like tears, and brown heels, and a flower crown of red flowers with a black veil on the back. "Hei hai, I'm Neriah, God of Light, and today, the most magnificent thing shall happen in this very concert hall!" Amber noticed all the winged beings, presumed Pristinas, were excited. As the two gods took eachother's hands, a pair of white seraphim wings adorned with gold details bloomed from eachother's back, as they levitated up and twirled around, before landing back down on the ground, as fireworks shot up in the air. "Enjoy the show~!" The two said before bowing and disappearing, the stage was raised up as it was shaped like a 'O' shape so its singer could go over to the crowd. 

The singer came on stage and- "Hey, isn't that..."
