“Do not cry, for I shall gift you a friend that will last for all of eternity, my dear child.”
Staring at her newfound companion, Fischl cannot help but smile at the crow currently perched upon the Archon’s arm, it’s raven feathers giving off an almost violet glow, reminding her of the electro Goddess crouched before her. Wiping her teary eyes, the small child gazes up, meeting electrified eyes staring back at her.. an almost gentle look in the Shogun’s usually cold stare. The child can’t quite remember how she had first ran into this women.. she had most likely been on some sort of official business trip, her clothing certainly wasn’t from Mondstadt for sure- the elegant violet kimono fluttering gently in the wind.
“Take him, his name is Oz.. he shall remain by your side so you shall never feel the cold bite of loneliness ever again.. extend your arm.”
She spoke, the cold and blissful voice causing Fischl to swallow nervously before complying, her arm shakily reaching out to which the Archon’s lips cracked into a rare and gentle smile; ushering the crow forward to which the bird happily jumped onto the girl’s arm, Raiden supporting her hand until she got used to the weight of the crow on her own.
Shakily holding her companion, the crow simply tilted it’s head, staring at the young girl as the tears slowly stopped, the only evidence that she had been crying being the tear tracks soaking her delicate skin.
“Take good care of each other..”
The Archon spoke before rising to her full height, a gloved hand moving to ruffle the blonde hair in an affectionate gesture before she nodded to herself, slowly beginning to walk away from the pair as they became aquatinted with each other, the sounds of happy giggles fading into the distance the further she walked.
Perhaps eternity wasn’t quite the distant goal she had thought it to be.
