Narrator POV:

Monstadt otherwise known as the city of freedom and adventure it was home to many young knights dream and ambition to succeed in but in the night of 1501 in Feybrizil a suburb in the city of Monstadt got attacked.....

The crimson flames created a luminous aura in the battlefield as knights of the Favounis attacked the intruder one by one but despite all that effort they couldn't even harm the man in question as he slicked and pierced through the knights soliders as he relentlessly went after his target which was the vault at the city of Freedom bank for the maps and documents that contained all information about Monstadt and the Ameno Gnosis which was something that Monstadt kept secret at all cost...

One brave soldier was smart enough to see through the intruder purpose as he quickly snatched the documents and maps and made a run for Monstadt directly to gather more forces and even the attention of the Ameno Archon himself, Barbatos. The intruder seeing this unsealed his sword as he activated his Cryo Vison as he used the snowy terrain for his advantage as he charged at the solider with the intent of kill but wasn't quick enough since several other knights blocked the intruder attack.

Solider POV:

Pant! Pant! Pant!

I looked around to find the area peaceful and silent as there are no sounds of that intruder in sight as I thought to myself in exhaustion and tension:

"I wonder where he went?, I have to reach Monstadt and inform Barbatos that the Fatui attacked us directly!!! But I can already tell that it's not the average Fatui Harbinger? Who in the Fatui Harbingers wears a mask and a winter coat? Wait... Don't tell me it's Him...."

As he finished his internal monologue a vague figure who stood at 6'1 feet tall with a mask that covers his face and a winter coat that people in Shenzahya wear as he spoke in a deep emotionless voice:

"You are right... But it's already too late for you to do anything since you are going to die"

The solider eyes widened in fear and terror as he saw his life flashing throw his eyes as then the intruder sliced his head off as the solider corpse fell on the ground with a solid Thud!. The intruder then picked up the documents and maps as he hummed and thought to himself in indifference:

"Looks like this is what he wanted huh? I can already see it's strategic value for us so I suppose I will return immediately and report my findings"

After that the intruder turned around as he left the burning city of Feybrizil alone for it to be reduced to nothing but ashes as he started walking back to the organisation he works for and this was only the beginning for the journey of a legend in Teyvat who is known as:

Capitano....

The Strongest Mortal Alive....

Scene Change: 30 km east of Monstadt

Capitano POV:

As I walked through the snowstorm my footsteps were the silent company as my thoughts ran rampant as I began to saw the imposing building of the Fatui Organisation as the guards who are guarding the gate bowed their head in respect as they made way for me to enter.

Sebastian who was my assistant bowed his head as he spoke in a formal and professional voice:

"Welcome back my lord the rest of the Harbingers are waiting for you to join the meeting so you can convey your findings and report on your mission"

Capitano nodded his head as he then thought for a moment and spoke up in the same montone voice that Sebastian was used to:

"I see thank you for informing me Sebastian you may leave and attend to your tasks I have nothing to ask you"

Sebastian nodded his head as he stood up and left Capitano alone as he went to attend his duties at other places in the building.

Capitano then began walking down the Dull and Lifeless hallways of the Fatui Organisation which is a reflection of their notorious reputation in Teyvat and Beyond as Capitano walked down the hallways he couldn't help but see the shadows of his past and the people he had killed come right before his eyes a constant reminder of the sins he has commited across Teyvat by being a Fatui Harbinger.

He sighed as he stopped and leaned on the wall as he thought to himself in nostalgia and melancholy as he gazed at the stars above:

"I wonder where did I go wrong on my life?... Is it because I joined Shenzahya army and became the right hand man of Tsaritsa herself or is it the fact that I joined the Fatui Harbingers? In their path for a twisted version of peace? Everywhere I go I always see memories of my crimes and massacres that I have commited in the past 5 decades... Will I ever be cursed to beat those sins until the day I die or will I atone by becoming a better person... Heh? A good person? Me? No way... I won't be surprised if my name becomes cursed for the rest of eternity but that's the path I took because it's the very salvation I have left in this cursed world"

Capitano then continued walking down the hallway of the Fatui organisation as he then saw two imposing steel doors as he knew that he reached his destination as he raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Silence engulfed the area for a minute as a deep voice cut through the air as it spoke with a emotionless tone:

"Come in..."

Capitano then pushed open the two doors as he saw 11 people waiting for him eagerly to hear what he has to report as he took in a deep breath and spoke....
