In the dawn's glow

Dawn is the uncertain light that follows night and is followed by sunrise. It marks the transition from night to day, from darkness to light. Some see it as the end of the beings of darkness. Others see it as the rebirth of the beings of light. Dawn is all these things at once. A beginning and an end. A renewal and a decline.

They were facing each other for the first time in a long time. They had spent their whole life together, travelling between worlds, but had found themselves separated for a long time, only reuniting on rare occasions. They were twins, inseparable from birth. Their shared history had been divided into two fragments, one within the Abyss, the other across the nations of Teyvat, trying to understand why their lives had changed. Like all journeys, theirs came to an end. They met for the last time at dawn, the only witness to the words they exchanged.

« We won't be seeing each other again. I tried to convince you, I gave you a chance. You didn't listen. You've only got yourself to blame. I don't have the patience to wait for you to change your mind. This is where our story ends. Farewell. »

Their slender figure drifted away, their blonde hair fluttering in the gentle breeze at their back. Their eyes filled with distress, the other watched as this person dear to their heart turned away, abandoning them. Their throat tightened with sadness and tears welled up in the corners of their golden eyes. It couldn't be. It couldn't end like this.

« No... Please... Come back, I... Please... »

There was no reply. The golden light of dawn gradually faded, taking away their hopes and dreams.
