Chapter 1: Sleep, repair and awakening

Chapter Text

They stared at the sky, finally free of Celestia's watchful eye, it did not come without many sacrifices though, the world was dying, that the Traveler knew, they tried to find a way to fix it themselves, not wanting to cause any more harm to Teyvat, but alas, they could not, Nahida knew that there was only one way, that they needed to sleep, to let their divinity flow through the butchered Leylines, Zhongli knew that it would be a long sleep, he could not… He could not let the world remain broken, even if it meant not being able to see his… Daughter live a long and fulfilling life, at least, he will be at peace knowing that she is not in danger from the Abyss nor Celestia anymore, now though, as he sat on his throne, molded from the very mountain. He let sleep take over him, not before giving the setting sun one last glance.

. . .

Nahida's plan worked, while they were sleeping, providing the world itself with what little divinity they had left, it started to bloom once again, but the repairs didn't come without any changes, Dragonspine became taller and taller, until it pierced through the clouds, Inazuma collapsed in multitude of isles, Mondstadt, Liyue, Sumeru and Fontaine separated even more, becoming individual continents, land surged from the sea, and humanity, under the guide of the Travelers advanced once again, when they decided that humanity didn't need them, they left, but not without leaving one last gift behind, even if this world didn't need them anymore, they wanted to leave something behind to guide their dear friends once they awaken, as such, both brother and sister married with natives of this world, and when their partners died, they left this world behind, in the hands of their descendants they left the task to guide their friends, after all, they are Travelers, and they cannot stay on forever in a place

“Oi, idiot wake up” a harsh voice said and Izuku felt a slap on his nape, when he came back to his senses he was face to face with one Bakugou Katsuki, his best friend.

“S-sorry, just got caught in my thoughts, i had a really weird dream last night” Izuku answered bashfully, rubbing the hit spot.

“Like hell i care for your dreams, what were you saying of me using my explosions to fly” Izuku sighed at Kacchan’s response, while he is grateful that he didn't turn his back to him when he was diagnosed quirkless he really needed to take a chill pill every now and then, not that he blames him, all that nitroglycerin on his blood makes his temper uncontrollable at best and raging at worse.

The following school day in Kaiya Junior High was quiet and leisurely spent, after he started being bullied for his lack of Quirk and Bakugou punched some teeth out of another kid, both their mothers decided to get them out of Aldera, into an actually respectable school, Bakugou was going to hit the Arcade before going home, so Izuku decided to take a stop at the convenience store to restock on notebooks, he could feel it, today was going to be a great day for him

**At the same time, France**

The cool air of spring came and went through the parisian streets, civilians walking around, one or two muggers waiting for anyone stupid enough to get close to an alley, heroes keeping a watchful eye on the city. Too bad they weren't prepared for what was going to happen that night.

First came the bubbling sound reaching their ears, then, the entire sewer system in four miles around exploded, manhole lids exploding, water bursting out of the ground like geysers. And then, then came the laughing.

“Fret not, noble people of Fontaine. Your goddess is back” Furina said, finally emerging from her thousands of years of sleep, she was sure her people would be rejoiced for her return.

“You're under arrest for illegal Quirk usage and destruction of public property” What Furina didn't expect though, was getting caught by the police in less than five minutes from waking up.

Notes:

Yes, i made Bakugou a mildly decent guy, yes, i fused the lore and threw Cannon out of the window, no, USA isn't going to be where Venti wakes up
