Genshin: The Archon War

Hero of Water!

Before they entered the next area, Barbara stopped them, getting confusion from the others. She took a second before turning to the General.

"Could you carry my weapon in here?" She blinked before nodding, taking the sword from the Sister.

"Why?"

"The Court is a lot stricter with the rules of this Kingdom. I'm not going to get us in trouble because I have a sword. Members of the Church don't carry weapons, so the Court carved that into the stone rules practically." The others nodded, almost in agreement.

"Alright. Let's go."

Once inside, the General stood at Barbara's right side, keeping her sword as close to her as they could. They went to the Church before meeting with one of the members of the Order, a Brother Freminet. He looked tired as he welcomed the heroes and led Barbara to a bench near the front. He then slipped over to the door and seemed to scan the outside as Barbara reached out to the heavens. A voice responded.

"No need for that, Sister Barbara." Freminet gave a noise as Barbara stood up, shooting a look towards the ginger haired male that had arrived.

"Lord Tartaglia. Lovely to see you if your reputation didn't have a say." He hummed as he held out the paper.

"I needed to get away from the others before they got right back to the teasing."

"You thought you were safe out here?" Venti let a chuckle slip at the Water God's face. She ignored it as she looked at the note.

"By Law of Light
Thee Shadow shall Fight
The Waves of the Court
Shall Dance in the Finale's Might"

Talk about vague. But when she showed it to Venti, they solved it right there and then.

"Someone in the High Court with a mindset for performance shall give the light a large-scale victory over the Darkness."

"How-" Barbara glanced at the Water God as he frowned. "I couldn't figure that out no matter how many times I looked at it."

"Maybe you shouldn't bless the whole order and you wouldn't have this problem." A chuckle slipped from the Brother as Tartaglia scowled. However, he chose against arguing as Venti smiled.

"Lady Gospel clearly made it to throw people off. But no matter." Barbara hummed as she took it back.

"To the High Court then."

"I'm truly sorry."

The High Court was unable to see them. The secretary apologized before Barbara showed her the prophecy, seeing if she at least knew who it meant. Venti also explained it, but nothing. But she did give a name for someone who can help.

"You probably met Brother Freminet, right?" Barbara nodded. "Well, he has two older siblings, Lyney and Lynette, who are in the performing field. They know all performers all over the Kingdom. They'll know who it's talking about."

"Thanks."

They saw the two perform before going to talk to them. Lyney looked out of it as Lynette spoke to them.

"Water Blessed Performer... in High Court?" Venti nodded. "You're looking at Furina. She had a talent, not just on the stage. She could find a cast, lead it and be it all at once without a sweat. She's also a really powerful Water Blessed User. Not as powerful as the other two Water Blessed Users in the High Court, but pretty close." She then hummed. "Excuse me. I have to get him home before he drops again." They thanked her before the two left. Zhongli hummed.
