    Summary

    “Well yeah,” Venti said as he walked into the office. “There’s demonic magic and its counterpart, celestial. Magic can be drawn from the earth itself— and spirits, but that usually delves into stuff like necromancy, which is a big no-no in every single faction out there. And then of course there’s witches and magical creatures like… A DRAGON?!”

     

    The blood drained from Venti’s face as it struck him that those feelings from earlier had not simply been, “just nerves.” His whole body shook as he stared at the creature on the office floor, barely managing to pull himself together to put the coffee tray down on his desk before rushing forward and kneeling. He froze, unsure of what to do. Ganyu and Yanfei were yelling something but it was all fuzz in Venti’s ears. The only sense in his body still working, it seemed, were his olfactory organs.

     

    It smelled like a witch.
