| Y/n’s Point of View |

–
I open my eyes finding myself in an unfathomable atmosphere, i glance up finding the skies splattered crimson red then to the ground which is pierced with countless torii that is scattered almost everywhere. To my realization I’ve been transported somewhere strange out of blue, after an unknown void that ate me whole.
. . .
Where else could i have been… Hm?
I shift to my sides noticing a familiar figure sitting afloat by the centre of the circled ground, my eyes scanned the person and its surroundings yet it was too unclear for me to grasp its complete detail from this distance, since curiosity beat the best out of my instincts to leave i instead choose the latter of doing so. I began taking steps forward coming closer into the individual itself.
The closer i got, the more i realized who is who…Â Ei?
For a moment i felt the urge to march my way towards her in order to scream all my suppressed rage and hatred straight to her forsaken face, i badly wanted to ask why. Why for all these years, what have i done to have been wronged by you, at the same time i… I wanted to…— Yet for the sake of my own pride it never took place except for in my own mind.
“State your identity to my query.”
She questions me as she flutters her eyes open by time it landed on me, i could feel a tinge of unspeakable emotion in her eyes. And for once her voice sounded rather.. gentle?.. it is almost as if… You are close to her— Tsk what am i thinking. I shake my head.
“By far i know, I’ve only been dragged uninvited by an unknown void that sent me down to this unfamiliar ground, and i am certain it is something of your knowledge?”
“The cause you imply to have sent you here, is out of my very own intention.” She shakes her head slightly now getting up. “It seems the puppet isn’t in its proper function today as well.”
She adds, analyzing me with her other hand held in her chin. I couldn’t help but to mesmerize the portrait of her, so close to a certain point where you almost looked alike. My heart is in a mixed beat, both pain is gnawing me from the inside. What else could i have done. If only i were allow myself to weep before you—
“How unfit, it doesn’t look like this is something that belongs to you.” She interrupts me from my thoughts, her voice still maintained its gentle tone and everything that is taking place is reminding me of a painful bitter memory, enough that i couldn’t even speak nor react.
. . .
“For a trespasser to stand by idly simply to stare blankly sure is a result foolishness if not after the recent event that took after the Traveler you wouldn’t be this fortunate enough that i haven’t taken the matter of eliminating you within one breath.”
She again breaks the silence. Sure, i gathered all my attention to the present punching myself mentally to the core. As i speak.
“That saves explanation of otherwise, i might have taken in an attempt to sugar coat my words. Very well if i am to face any verdict i am well prepared for what is to come.”
I exclaim, and I know damn well my eyes are dead beneath this forsaken mask. I don’t even have the energy to muster anything, caught between the tangled push and pull of both hatred and love. What am I to choose as the pain sinks me down? I can feel my heart beating beautifully, and the wound she inflicted upon me throbs painfully in my chest, as if the sensation is something I created from my own imagination.
“You speak.. as if you are dead..” Her eyes began to glow amethyst. My eyes widening at her in attempts pull a sword out from between her…. Uh whatever it is—
“You gave me enough words to hear. Only you can stand and face the verdict of Eternity .”
. . .
Now looking at all of this certainly.. does remaind me from our very last encounter..

The thunder that roars, almost deafening to my ears, as if it is prepared to strike down a certain target that could kill instantly. The amethyst eyes I once admired are now filled with grief, their spiteful stares matching the thunder ready to wipe my very existence from this world.
Oh, how beautiful, you have sent my heart in a twisted knot. Unbelievable it can Truly be. If i am to choose of loathing you, then so be it.

For now, all I have is utter bitter madness for the sake of the loathsome decision I made. I take out my polearm, aided by my Electro vision, using its power at last after centuries of absence. Ah, how nostalgic—this reminds me of our old ways of parrying, except for today is a different story. Aside from all these petty feelings, what I have now is nothing more than vengeance. I couldn’t bring myself to forgive you. Truly, how far you have disappointed me.
*Clang*
Our weapons clashed in a blink of an eye, and i could tell how surprised her expression is. Can you see now i have changed. I am no longer the weakest mortal you can just simply dispose of. Shadow.
Both of our weapons grinded to each side, swiftly moving back in an instant that created a gap between us.
“You are no mere mortal it seems, do you really not care of revealing yourself for atleast may you utter your name?” She questions curiously, and i couldn’t careless. Sooner or later she will realize slowly for our battle that will give you the memory itself.
. . .
‘You ought to feel every ounce of each clash we make‘
I possed myself, readying for another hit, she instantly appeared in front of me exactly where i expected her to be. After all the battles i had besides her. I’ve come to read her too well to this extent, even i know every each of the tactics she choose, the stances she redies, and exactly where she choose to hit a mark. Even to this very day you haven’t changed your ways.
–Clash–
A thunderbolt was sent shooting to my sides aimed to hit exactly where my shoulder is, the same target as usual. I dodge in an instant taking further step to hit towards her unguarded mark. Yet immediately she dodged where i was supposed to hit, instantly switchimg position again. Behind. I thought with a turn to block her surprise attack.

The battle went on for nearly hours, none of us dared to stop, not even a single rest took place, and i could the both us are panting out our each breath. It seems i am still a mortal held with limits so does a god needs their rest, yet i see not even a sweat has appeared before her face, with or without does not matter i could tell that she is rather having quite a trouble of dealing with me.
“It seems the Almighty Shogun, not so mighty after all?” I scoff swirling my polearm in the air trying to be aloof.
“Did isolating yourself into this bewitching domain have dulled you. Oh it must be rather depressing.”
I add trying to provoke her. Surely that could have hit a mark or two..
“The audacity of a mere mortal like you have is impressive. I’ll give you that. However do not mistake my words as an act of mercy, sooner or later i shall put this into an end..”
She slashes her swords to her side, the tip of its point glowing until it reaches its handle. I could tell from here what move she is about to take and it should be something i may fear…
I couldn’t make a move, for i highly believed that the past wouldn’t faze me anymore but i suppose it cannot be helped that trauma has a way of resurfacing when one least expects it.
I could only stay rigid for a moment as I recalled a memory from the last time I watched her perform an elaborate dance, sharp in its beauty. Makot—
My mind went blank for a moment, and without my realization, my hands were held by the bareness of her palm. The sharpness of her sword came close, threatening to cut my neck, and her eyes, so close to mine, left me unable to look away from her glowing gaze. I glanced towards her left and found a clip that once belonged to Makoto.
I am starting to wonder when will this exhaustible battle just come to an end for the sake of this fragility having the lack of tolerance.
“Where have your boldness went, or was all of it just a mere performance.”
She speaks catching my attention.
“Ha ha… You wish i can possibly match a god. I am a dead that seeks no end nor neither do i have an end, only i can chase is an unreachable dream, for my mortal heart is too weak to handle, i ought to have done it to this very day.” I answer her doubting sentence giving me a look of an at utter confusion yet i could tell one familiarity in her part.
“You love to speak in crypted word it seems.”
. . .
Enough is enough.
I am Y/n of the Fatui Harbinger to simply stay here and reminisce of the past is a an obstacle from my duty. I am a Harbinger, no longer part of the Kujou clan. Loyalty is long gone… I ought to finish this…
I growl, my Pyro Delusion glowing blindly that even Ei herself had to back down. My whole attire slowly took changes into its Delusion Unleashed Phase II.
“Yes, it seems i do have a habit of nitpicking a god as for yourself.”
I exclaim, fully shifting to use the full potent of delusion itself. Dangerously i am risking my life here but i couldn’t careless. As fortunate i am to have a curse that could be useful for once.
However, i wont simply turn a blind eye to the consequences it will give me afterwards. Teyvat knows i might die, trying.
“I have misjudged you it seems. Are you perhaps one whom they call, Fatui?”
She inquires as she gather all the electrifying electro surrounding her. All of it is focusing itself towards the whole of her sword readied to unleash at me. Mosuo no Hitotachi.
She pointed its electrifying tip towards me as i gather my elemental prowess focused solely on my polearm burning in result my mask began melting off my face. She took no time and took the first slash to me. Immediately that i had to rush all the power i could muster. Burning aggressively as if i had come to burn away the world before me.
Bewildered her eyes had became by time my mask had disappeared. Everything seemed to appear in a slow motion, her eyes looked so doubtful, at lose and both at grief as mad and dying i am.
“You—”
Crack
. .
. .
After her slash had come to land towards the scorching polearm of mine the result of our attack produced a blinding light (overload)
Even it caused the both of us to fall in the ground. And by time i tried to open my eyes, everything around me were filled in burned marks, some are left still burning it seems. My vision were too blurry. I couldn’t find her..
I glance from each of my side, back and forth, searching for wherever she is.. Why bother worrying.. this is what you wanted.
Before i could even attempt to stand a slight pink furried fox appeared before me. And i couldn’t take a clear grasp of just who.. my body began to fall against the cold ground too weak to even escape nor stand. It seems i drained whatever i could use just to unleash myself in that phase. If only i knew the effect after hand i wouldn’t risk this much.
. . .
“You poor thing, just what quite an elaborate trouble you are causing for me.”
A certain sly voice muttered before i fell unconscious.
