For most, Celestia is a place that they will never touch, to others, it was a place they went to as they died as a reward for their good deeds while in life. And to the Archons, Gods of Teyvat themself it was an Island in the sky, way to far for normal eyes to see, hell even they struggled just to see it, So when the 4 main Archons, Barbatos, Morax, Baal and Buer were teleported to Celestia in a blinding of colours (Golden, Red and White) it's save to say that they were quite... surprised.
Right now, after they all came back to their senses, Buer ever the Goddess of Wisdom that she is looks around for a bit before realization struck her, "We're in Celestia" She told the others, who were looking around some more then others.
"Indeed you are, We apologies for the lack for warning" A new voice says, well it wasn't a new voice to one of them. As the voice spoke, all heads turned to look at them. At it's origin, is a lady dressed in black with wings on her back.
"Ronova" Said Barbatos bowing to show his respect to one of the people he sees as family.
It took a second for them to recognize the name, but when it did " Are you the ruler of Death?" Baal asks, body langage as open as possible
"That I am, now would you all follow me, We have a place to be in" Ronova says, before turning around and leaving, Barbatos is the first to follow just seconds after
As the Archons followed the Ruler of Death, 3 of them took mental notes of the 4th actions, Barbatos, who was the most talkative of them was quiet, not silent but he lacked the annoying energy
When they entered the room of their destination they were met with 2 other ladies, ,first one, had DNA looking symboles all over, while the others with clocks related things. The second they entered, both stood from the stairs they were sitting at to greet them,
"Hello, welcome to Celestia, I'm Rhinedottir half of the Ruler of Life And I am Naberius, the other half pleased to meet you" The lady with DNA things introduced her, themself? "And I'm Istaroth, Ruler of Time pleased to meet you" The Ruler of Time followed
"Apologies if it sounds rude but.. Why are we here?" Morax asks, slightly worried in his 6,000 years of living, never once has he been called
"You were called today because we need to apologies for a few things" Naberius says, looking at All of the Way younger Gods compared to her and her sisters.
"And What could you possibly have to apologies for?" Baal returned
"This is not just for an apology, but also a way for us to show our gratitude to you" Istaroth adds, following this sentence is the 3 Shades, Ronova, Istaroth and Rhinedottir/Naberius bowing, theirs heads in front of the Archons
"Buer, Goddess of Wisdom and Dendro Archon... We would like to apologies for the way you were treated by your people.." The shades talked at the same time
"And Barbatos, God of Freedom, the Wind and Hope, Anemo Archon.... I would like to personnaly thank you for looking after those who were thrown out by the lord above, as well as myself" Rhinedottir said the next part alone, looking at the Anemo Archon who simply gave a nod of acknowledgent (how do you freaking spell that word??)
"There is no need to apologies... I am curious on what Rhinedottir said however" Buer continued
"I would also like to know how you know each other? If it's okay of course" Morax added
The three Shades and Barbatos turned to look at each others before turning back to face the Archons
"I believe I have never once told anybody about my origin, Right?" Barbatos started, he continued after getting a nod of agreement "Well before being a God, and an Archon, I was but a wisp among the thousand winds, I didn't even have a human form."
"Barbatos here is technically a part of myself, I used my powers to create the thousand winds, he can therefore be considered my child" Istaroth added " And since I, Ronova and Naberius are sisters, that makes them Barbatos' aunts" She finished
"Okay... And about what Rhinedottirsaid?" Buer asks
"... I am sure you all remember Khaenri'ah, well Morax and Baal should... I was one of the Five sinners, before I found and merged with Naberius" Rhinedottir started
" The heavenly principles did not bother to consult us for the subject of that nation, you know what happended to it, and we were against that... But Both His 'highness' and Asmoday, the ruler of Space, did not care" Ronova added
" As you are aware, many died in that war.. but not all, after finding out that some survived the cataclism, Barbatos made sure that Mondstadt could be a new home for those who wanted it." Istaroth continued
" Indeed, as of today, my nation is the home of two, possibly three survivors. Kaeya who is a descendant of the Abyss Orders' founder and Albedo, creation of Rhinedottir" Barbatos finished
Baal, Buer and Morax had nothing to say, I mean what could they say. Their friend was the child of the Shade of Time, and has been hosting survivors of the cataclism as well has their descendants. Yeah they will need time to process that, Thankfully, the Shades took pity on them and teleportrf them back
