chptr 2 - Drunk

You woke up, dazzled and confounded. This place wasn't Natlan, nor any other nations you have visited, this place was the homeland of the harbingers, it was none other than Snezhnaya.

Your first thought upon waking up was not whether you were in still in Natlan or not, but it was because you had zero backup, no Paimon, no Mualani, no Kinich, no Chasca, no Kachina, not even the Pyro Archon is with you, I guess you are cooked Y/N.

The minute you opened your eyes, you realized you were laid on a bed, but it was not soft at all, it was made out of a solid-rock material, it certainly hurt your back. You immediately stood up but you weren't able to, you realized that your hands have been tied or chained to the "bed". You checked to see if you were in a bunker or what. There was a small window with golden fences, you looked outside while struggling to move near the window but you succeeded. You looked outside and a gust of snow hit your eyes, but then it also hit you, Natlan doesn't have snow, the only nation with snow amongst all the 7 (excluding Dragonspine) is... "Oh crap.", you murmured to yourself. (It's Snezhnaya)

You were terrified by what you had just discover, being stranded alone is something you are probably familiar with but being kidnapped by a fatui...is something else. You spent around 10 minutes brainstorming and trying to accept what's happening right now when suddenly, the door to your "confinement" were opened, the sound of the door barged open, slammed loudly echoed throughout the room that was hollow before.

As you know it, the Fatui Harbingers walked in, but to your surprise, it wasn't the Captain, it was instead the Damselette and the Rooster. They both walked in so flawlessly, or that's just the Damselette while the Rooster just walked in casually. They both wore their usual winter attire, it was cold in your cell, however their body seems to have adjusted to the everlasting winter. They both stared at you, the Damselette glared at you. It was as if they were examining you, they kept on glancing back and forth on your body. 

Meanwhile as they are both staring, you couldn't move anywhere, only a few steps from your bed, still chained to the bed, you could only stood there and struggle, making yourself look like an idiot so you decided to back down and sat on the rock solid bed.

The Damselette made eye contact with you then proceeded to let out a small giggle while you look at her, confused and baffled, you decided to confront her, "What? What are you laughing about? There's nothing funny here." - but that instead made her giggle harder. I guess it's insane enough to say the most sanest harbinger is probably the Rooster.

"See dear old Pulcinella, I told you she'd be a perfect match for him...sighs if only she wasn't someone who's against the Tsaritsa." - her voice was so smooth and captivating, it was similar to an angel's whisper, the gracefulness and elegantness in her voice can easily make any male or even female fall for her within a few minute, the Damselette talking to the Rooster while looking at you, glancing and smiling at you even though it's visible that it's sarcastic. After her short conversation, by conversation, meaning only her talking, she took off and left in a dash of light.

The Rooster was still looking at you, speechless and just stood still. You decided to break the silence, "Hello??? Are you gonna help me or not?" - in a sarcastic tone since you clearly already know that they are all Fatui Harbingers who will not assist you in any way.

The Rooster just nodded once, "Columbina is right, you would've been a perfect match for him." - while Pulcinella slightly titled his head for a second. You had enough. You stood up and you asked him out loud, "I have been patient here so I swear to Celestia, tell me who is "him"?" - you demanded an answer, "Why of course it's none other than who brought you here, the Captain."

You were left speechless, did your enemy's friends really think you're a perfect match for your enemy? Uh no thanks, pass on that. However, you were stunned by that answer and you stood still, lost in your thoughts. But then when you saw the Rooster leaving, you snapped out of your world and tried to chase him but were stopped with the chains tied on your hands and legs, "Wait! Come back, unchain me atleast, it's really suffocating me!" - you yelled and some part of that were genuine while some were merely for the act.

The Rooster didn't budge to look back around and kept walking towards the door while replying to you, "Your life is now the Captain's. If he wants you unchained then only he can do it, if he wants you chained then you will stay chained forever. You are now in the land of the holy Tsaritsa and the Captain is someone she really trusts, so what the Captain tells you to do, do it...for the sake of your life at the least, understood?"

Upon finishing that speech, the Rooster slammed the door close, closing the only source of light into your confinement cell. It was now night time, it was very dark outside and cold. The fatui hadn't brought you any food nor drink. You were shivering from the cold, it was freezing cold at night especially today, there was a snow blizzard. There was no blanket in the cell, the only thing that existed in the cell were the rock bed and the small window. You lost track of the time, you were hungry and thirsty, tired, freezing cold, in pain, and suffering mentally and physically. You haven't drank in 8 hours and you haven't ate in 10 hours and to top it all off, if the hunger and thirst won't kill you, the cold will, it was so cold, you had no blanket or heat at all. Your hands were also still chained.

30 more minutes have passed, you were thinking about your companions, about Paimon, about Mualani, Kinich, Kachina, Mavuika, and etc. The cold was no longer bearable, you hadn't ate anything nor drink, you could feel your head getting very dizzy and your whole body went numb just like before. You eventually collapsed while cuddling yourself in the rock-hard bed, your vision went blurry and you eventually closed your eyes, as if you were drunk. 

A few minutes after your whole body went numb, couldn't bear the cold, and your eyes closed. A tear shed from your eyes before you lose your consciousness a few seconds later. Not even a minute after you lost conscious, someone barged in the door, this time, the footsteps were familiar, but it was too late, you had already fainted from all the pain. It was the Captain walking in. He pulled out his sword and slashed the chains that were on your hand and leg, it fell to the concrete floor, making a huge thumping noise when metal meets concrete floor. He proceeded to touch your forehead to make sure you were okay, he noticed you had a fever and how cold your whole body was. He immediately took off his coat and gave it to you and carried you with. In his arms, it felt so warm even when he wasn't using his coat, of course every Snezhnayan's body had been trained to adapt to the weather. You weren't conscious at all but your body could still feel the warmth of his body while carrying you.

He took you out of the confinement cell where you could finally see light whether it was manmade or natural light. It turns out, you were in the "Pravo Shizo Inmates Prison" (Shizo was known to be the most severe form of punishment in Russian cells, known as the punishment isolation cell.) 

He eventually left and he used a secret passageway that is only known to the harbingers that connects to the "Divine Palatial Memoria" - the grand and divine palace of the Tsaritsa, where all the harbingers are mostly at. It's size is bigger than the whole Dragonspine itself, it is rumored to be one of Teyvat's most magnificent wonders of the world. With that passageway, it only takes 10 minutes while the normal way takes about 1 hour. You could hear the Captain rushing, walking very fast while carrying you, even though he's hurt, he is still going very fast. He's planning to make you stay in the palace where it eventually became your own personal hell and you Y/N, are a sheep in a wolf's clothing, and you are about to enter the domain of wolves.
