tell me child, do you remember the days of the vibrant sakura flame that would dance amidst the the great tree of the hallowed araumi cliffside ?
descended of the great white fox maya of the six kitsune of eld, vitakka was the oldest of twelve born to a mortal father and a kitsune mother, and his is a tale that starts seeped in misfortune . when hakushin sent away her eldest apprentice, itaru the black fox, that left the five remaining kitsune to safeguard the five five sacred sites and perform the rites of purification, and as each line of kitsune continued, their descendants were tasked with the caretaking of the filth that would accumulate .
the maya shrine, nowadays simply referred to as the tendō shrine due to the longevity of the clan line that attended it, was nestled away beneath the winding branches of the sacred sakura bloom that rose above the ground, and their home was carved out in the stone halls beneath araumi . yet one day, after many many years of build up, the filth was ever so clever, and when vitakka’s mother performed the cleansing ritual, before her children’s very eyes, the filth coalesced into a mockery of the great white fox . when she summoned her own spirit of maya to combat it, the resulting collision of flame was so powerful that it flared out over the entirety of the barrow the tendōs called their home . many of the line were killed, and the gout of flame that traveled up the great spire, destroying most of what lay above the ground and searing the sacred sakura that had blossomed around it . it was in the aftermath of the calamity that, as the tendōs were still gathering their lost and grieving that the shogun’s soldiers arrived .
seeing such a heavenly symbol as the sacred sakura being devoured by the sakura pink flames only those descended of the white fox could manage had outraged the narukami ogosho . believing this to be a symbol of traitorous intent against not only their ages old duty, but also to her eternity, the soldiers too descended upon the family . weakened from the grueling duty of the sakura cleansing, the tendō matriarch could not last long in defense of her home, and in the ensuing battle even more of vitakka’s family had been slain . in her final moments, the matriarch had called for her children to flee, to remember their duty and her lessons before casting away the clan’s pyro vision and rushing to the oncoming vanguard of soldiers .
vitakka had never run faster, run further without resting that he had in that day, until his feet ached and the blood in his veins rushed and howled in his ears, and his chest burned with each breath . and when he could no longer even drag himself any further, he wept, for when the sun fell for that night, eight brothers and sisters had died alongside his mother with only the clan’s pyro vision that had awakened in his anguish, and he had not seen the other two siblings . nor would he see them in the following days, weeks as he sequestered himself far, far away upon tatarasuma where he could scavenge amongst the wreckages and hide away in the cliffs until his grief left him .
❝ i can think of nothing less appealing than an evening of watching other people dance.❞ – diana @ lisa !! )
ballroom prompts // @astrakyn
❝ Don’t be like that, ❞ Lisa chides, voice honey sweet. Such formal occasions were far more common before Grand Master Varka’s absence, but alas, relations between the knights and the nobility are important. Usually Lisa manages to wiggle her way out of such events, using the excuse of being someone who is in charge of mere clerical work, but certain captains? No, no, unfortunately for them, they aren’t quite so lucky.
❝ Surely you’d have a better time if you braved a dance? What’s so scary about it? You must be good on your feet, I have snuck a peek or two at the training grounds before. Do you truly think it’s so different? The dance with a blade and the dance with another? Hm?❞
“ i have no quarrel with dance . “ it is a curt and brusque response out from darkly painted, thinly pursed lips . “ i could maneuver my way around a dance if i had to . “ a necessity as with many other such frivolous acts for events but her actions reflect on the knights ( and the family, she muses discontentedly ) . she knows she is a warrior and she knows they know she is warrior, and yet here she is, pretending as though she is something else for the better half .
“ the prospect of cozying up with a stranger amidst a crowd of the gifted elite doesn’t quite catch my fancy, i’m sure you can understand . “ pale grey gaze casts out over the swaying crowd and her lips tug to a frown . diana shifts, turning to look upon her companion with a lofted brow . “ i was given to think you’d be right at home here-- is that not the case ? “
“I BELIEVE there’s no limitations when it comes to enjoying a good blend of wine. Which is why I raise no objections to the one you have offered. Guess your tastes haven’t differed much from back then, old man.~” A jest is offered to lighten up the mood between two archons, old companions would be a somewhat proper term he could describe them. If the bard had an option there’d be a different mood between them where change is evident. The concerns have brought VENTI into contemplation…something no intended for the representation of freedom. Though winds and gusts may chime their liberties forevermore, a disturbance won’t ever be brushed away for eyes to slip into another deep slumber. Surely the GOD OF CONTRACTS sensed something vile in his airs of LIYUE. Taking a soft sip from the osmanthus glass, eyes darted to the side just to focus on his dear companion. “I would say the thought of performing in this bar would be a pleasant experience but should I sing you a ballad…or do you understand THE CHANGE IN TIDES THAT’S TAKING OVER TEYVAT?” It won’t be long until they both needed to make a move.
“ mm . “ lightened words offered do little to err the firm set of lips to a line, parting only briefly to empty his glass little by little . silence goes on for some time, glove dampening with its hold on on his drink as zhongli considers his words . he’s not so blind now as to think that things could remain as they once were . he does not hold his vigil from heaven on high any longer, and can see every minute detail as the goings - on beyond the sea of clouds as it changes . and my, how they are changing now ( or, his storied mind supplies-- things have not changed a bit . there is no rest to be had for the wearied and worn ) . “ perhaps ... “ he begins at once, setting his drink half - drained down upon the table and fixing posture, leaning forward in his seat . amber - gold fixes upon the bard again, and the impassive line of his lips dip to a frown between words . “ there will be time for songs and stories when teyvat has a moments respite from the quakes and tremors of its history . “ yes, though he may have yet offered away his means of divinity, his liyue will ever be at the forefront of his thoughts . “ what do think then ? you know the winds well, and the frigid ones across the sea aren’t like to remain still long . “

it was, in fact, several hundred years following guizhong’s passing that morax established the order of the lorewalkers based on her love of knowledge . at first, it was meant to be devoted solely to the recounting of history, precisely as it was ( in fact, in those early days morax itself struck down one who dared to embellish some stories ) . it was only as time passed, that he began to attempt unravelling the mystery that was the memory of dust, that his outlook changed . the order, as it is now, still very much maintains the precision of liyuen history as it occurred, yet now focuses much more on the telling of stories . something with a foot in reality and a foot in the fictitious, they are meant more to convey a central theme or lesson . though the lorewalkers are fewer today than they were before, they are nonetheless respected in liyuen society as orators and tale - tellers, and it is not unusual to find one wearing the lorewalker attire at tea houses or in public places .
ava’s mask is personally forged . before she settled down in mondstadt ( while she was still fleeing from fontaine ) she did not wear one, and it was only after she was granted her vision in mondstadt that she began crafting it . the way that her vision manifests its powers during her elemental skill and particularly in her burst bears resemblance to a fox, thus why she chose to forge it . it is blessed with a moderate power of her anemo, and so whenever she uses foxtrot ( her elemental burst ) the violet inlayed decorations will turn the vibrant green remniscient of anemo energy .
“ i’m in no mood for your banter . “ he has but just exited from the restaurant, a hole - in - the - wall take - away joint and settled upon a bench overlooking the sea when he is approached . a mouthful of noodles, shifting to glance up at the man warily from beneath his mask . “ ... so what is it ?

given that she trains not far from her home overlooking the falcon coast of mondstadt, it’s no surprise that she often has previous and current students visiting her, sometimes with future students brought along for the trip . she’s said many times that her home is always open if they should like to drop by, and so she’s made a habit of always having something around the house to treat them to . more often than note, it’s loaves of bread or cookies, something that she bakes, leaving them in an oven for an hour while she trains or deals with maintenance around the house .
