Save Him - A Genshin Impact Story

"Aether."

"Dain..."

He gripped onto Dain as tightly as possible, hiding his face in his chest. They both didn't care whether or not the tears falling down his cheeks were soaking Dain's clothes. All they could do now was embrace each other, one claiming back what was once his, and the other, trying to forget everything. The only thing that could be heard was the sobbing from the golden haired boy.

Dain rubbed circles on his back, "Shh... none of this was your fault... it wasn't your choice."

When Aether was separated from his sister, Lumine, he was left alone to fend for himself in a world unknown to him. Still suffering from the loss of his old home, Khaenri'ah- in order to seek revenge, Aether created the abyss order. He is forced to become the cold and merciless prince of the Abyss, eliminating all in his way. Five-hundred years later, Aether reunites with his sister- but she has sided with the enemy. Even though Aether could never forgive himself for the monstrosity he has created, many notice his suffering and are more than willing to forgive him.

(Non-Cannon Story! But still follows most of the lore, I just add my AU into this.)
