Skye, a girl born in an isolated village in Nod Krai and raised in Snezhnaya from a young age, never needed much to be happy. Even though her family was poor, she had everything that mattered.
But everything changed one day, and she was left with nothing but a letter and the thoughts of what could have been, before fleeing across the border into Mondstadt. There, she finds refuge, before continuing her journey to start a new life for herself in Liyue.
As the years passed and she grew into a capable young woman, she decided she wanted to explore the Teyvat that she'd only seen on the postcards her parents used to send her while they were away. She became a skilled and sought-after adventurer, returning to Nod Krai, where she found peace in a small village not far from where she was born.
During her travels, she meets the Traveller himself, as well as a familiar face from her childhood. The same face that had betrayed her that fateful day.
(Also, the image I used for my cover doesn't belong to me, I just found it on Pinterest and there was no artist listed, sorry. I started writing my fanfic in 2025, and in terms of age suitability, I suggest 16 plus, as there are some mature/ triggering scenes.)
Dérive (n.) // [dɪ·raɪv]
|| To drift unplanned, led only by the landscape ||
A young woman found herself waking up in a familiar yet supposedly fictional world, not knowing what brought her there or why she was there. With the winds guiding her on her journey, new companions will be met, identities will be found, and souls will be reunited.
And, perhaps, meaningful relationships will be forged along the way. Who is to know?
"Oh, hey. I recognize that cloud."
