Yet, the strings of fate were inescapable. Many years ago, Zhongli, previously Morax - the Geo Archon Rex Lapis - first encountered Kamisato Ayaka when she was a young butterfly with the weight of a nation upon her shoulders. Touched by her earnesty, he guided her in many things and was one of the few that genuinely tried to understand her. In return, her selfless heart embraced him wholly - whoever he was in the past, everything he is right now, and all that he would become. Their friendship grew slowly into a companionship most can only dream of. However, the love that burns with the brightest flame also leaves the deepest scars. Unforeseen challenges arise that threaten everything they had built together. With the odds stacked against them, can their love withstand the ravages of time? ༻ PART I COMPLETE ༛༛ ༛ ༛༺༻༛ ༛ ༛༛ Background: The story setting is the game Genshin Impact.
