"Ah hello Miss Y/N, can I help you with something?" Lily said as you smiled at her.
"Hello to you too Lily, I would like 15 dandelion seeds please." you told her and she smiled.
"There you go Miss! I hope you will have a great day." Lily said and you nodded.
"Thank you, have a nice day too, bye byee!" you said as you continued your way to the Church of Favonius. You weren't a nun or a priestess but you helped the elders who couldn't take care of themselves anymore. You graduated from Sumeru Akademiya and you just wanted to help these poor elders to have a nice life.
Of course with this death came as well, there were times when you had to watch those nice elders die and it broke your heart. You wanted to do more for them, but you knew that life means death as well.
Since you graduated from the Spantamad, one of the darshans that occupy with the story of ley lines, elemental reactions and of course alchemy.
You found useful all those reactions that helped you to create medicine for the elders.
You could have went to the Amurta and study biology, but you never liked biology that much.
As you passed the center of Mondstadt, right when you were next to the fountain you heard someone call you.
"Y/N!" you heard as you turned around to see Sucrose approach you.
"Oh hello Sucrose! How are you?" you asked and she smiled.
"Oh I'm fine, I just wanted to ask if you could help Mr. Albedo with a research, you know, he's been studying a peculiar flower, but he just can't make it bloom, and I thought that if you went to the Akademiya maybe you know more about dendro reactions." she said and you looked surprised.
"Oh? Well I do have time right now but are you sure? I never actually got to talk to albedo and if I'm being honest, I don't even think my knowledge can match to his." you said and she just nodded.
"I'm sure your the best choice. Mr. Albedo is currently in dragonspine, you know the way to his lab right?" she asked and you shook your head.
"I'm afraid I don't really go to dragonspine, I fear that I may get lost-"
"Do you need to get to Albedo?" Eula Lawrence said as she approached you.
"Oh Eula, yes I should go to see him right now." you said and she nodded.
"Well I can take you there, I have a commission that needs my assistance in dragonspine and I can lead the way for you." she said and you smiled.
"Thank you so much Eula! I don't know how I can repay you" you said and she left a small smile.
"It's okay, no need for anything, your already doing a lot for Mondstadt." she said while Sucrose nodded.
"Okay then good luck Y/N! I will go continue my work." she said and you both said goodbye to Sucrose as she left.
"So why do you need to see Albedo? I don't think I ever saw you two together." Eula said and you smiled.
"He's struggling with an experiment so perhaps I can help him, I just hope that everything will go fine." you said and she nodded.
"Ah don't worry Albedo can look pretty cold on the outside but he cares a lot for his friends, I'm sure you both will get along just fine." she said as you finally arrived at his camp.
"Hm... Eula? And you must be y/n right ? What can I help you with?" Albedo said as he greeted you both.
"I'm actually here for a commission , so I'll leave you two, I just helped y/n come here, take care of you and see you later." Eula said as she walked away.
"Uhh yes, so this is our first meeting but you already know who I am so I'll skip the introductions, Sucrose mentioned that your struggling with an experiment, she said I may help you so I came here to see." you said he observed you in silence.
"Ah yes you must mean the flower seed I found right? Well I heard from Sucrose that you graduated from the Spantamad so you must have some knowledge in Alchemy right?" he said and you nodded.
"Yes Mr. Albedo, I know pretty much everything about alchemy, but there's a lot that I still need to study." you said and he nodded.
"Uh please call me Albedo, no need for formality. So as you can see this seed over here is very special, it's not from Teyvat so I can't make it bloom just with my vision. I figured out that it would need alchemy but then again there seems to be something that's missing, as long as I don't know from where this flower is, I can't make it bloom."he said as he showed you the flower.
"Hmmm... Well for now I can't tell from where it is, but I do have some books at home about flowers from other worlds as well, I should look more into it and then maybe we can figure it out together." you said and he nodded.
"Hm okay then that's what we will do, I will also come down to Mondstadt and stay there for a couple of days so it would be easier to meet up, you can find me at my work shop from the headquarters of the knights of Favonius. Then may I accompany you back to Mondstadt? "he said and you looked at him with a small blush.
"A-ah yes of course, then let's go." you said trying to shake away the nervousness you felt around the alchemist.
As you came back to Mondstadt you saw Rosaria come your way.
"Y/n, I've been searching for you." she said and you looked confused at her.
"Sister Rosaria? Something happened?" you said and she nodded.
"Unfortunately yes, it's about Mr. Hans... His condition-" she said and your eyes widened.
"What?? Something happened to him??" you asked in a hurry and she looked straight in your eyes.
"I'll be honest with you y/n... Mr Hans just died." she said and you felt tears start to stream from your eyes.
"What... But he seemed like he was better, I could swore that he would feel better he-" you said look in the ground. Mr. Hans was one of the best elders you ever met, he was lonely, he never had a wife or kids but he considered you his granddaughter/grandson. He's the reason why you helped the elders, you wanted to be there for him and in the past months he seemed to feel better and better. But now... He was gone. He wouldn't tell you stories anymore, you would see him everyday, it was over.
Albedo stood next to you worried looking at you.
"Y/n... What about going home and resting? I think you need some time alone." Albedo said and you nodded weakly.
"Albedo please take care on her, she's not in her best time." Rosaria said and Albedo nodded. He didn't know why but ever since he met you he felt very familiar around you, and he already considered you one of his friends.
As you lead the way to your home he accompanied you making sure that you will get safe home.
As you entered in the house he sat next to you on the couch.
"Now you can let it out Y/N. Apologies, I don't know how emotions work and I may not help right now but, I'm here for you." he said and you looked at him with teary eyes.
"It's just that, he was just like my own grandfather, I loved him so much and now he died... I didn't even get to tell him how much he meant for me, and I will never be able to do it anymore." you said as you started to cry even louder. Albedo suddenly grabbed you in a warm hug and you buried your face in his chest. Being so close to him brought you so much comfort for no reason, and all you wanted to do was stay like this for an eternity.
Some days later you rushed in Albedo's work shop.
"Albedo I think I found something!" you said as he looked at you with a small smile.
"Oh? About the flower?" he asked and you nodded.
"Yes while I cleaned Mr. Hans belongings I came across this book, he always loved gardening so I read the book and I came across this! It's an incantation from khaenri'ah to make flowers bloom, you know since the people of khaenri'ah didn't have any visions, they relied a lot of alchemy and the art of kemia, and that makes me think that maybe we could make the flower bloom with this incantation! "you said and he looked trough the book.
"Hmm yes it may look but do you know how to make an incantation? I'm afraid I'm not know in this domain." he said and you smiled.
"Yes actually at the Akademiya we studied about Khaenri'ah as well so I know how to do incantations. We just need to place the seed at wind rise near the tree of Vanessa and at 10am we can do the incantation." you said and he nodded.
The next day at 10am you both went to wind rise to do the incantation and you started to say the words one by one.
A bright yellow color shined from the seed as you finished and you looked down to see... An inteyvat.
"This... This is the oficial flower of khaenri'ah but how... I thought they all became as hard as stones when the catastrophe happened 500 years ago." you said and Albedo looked at it surprised.
"fascinat-" he was about to say but when you touched the flower a green light embraced you fully. You looked shocked around and Albedo started in awe as the light dispersed.
When you opened your eyes you saw a dendro vision in your hands.
"Y/n, you just received your own vision!" Albedo said and you looked at him.
"You proved your wisdom and love for nature trough this flower, I'm not surprised that the archon of wisdom blessed you with a dendro vision." Albedo said and you smiled.
"Thank you Albedo, without you I wouldn't found this out." you said and he smiled. All of a sudden you hugged him and he looked stunned at you, but after second he embraced you as well.
"Albedo there's something I want to tell you, ever since we met... I started to like you more and more, it's okay if you don't share the same feelings but i-" you said but you were quickly stopped by Albedo's lips on your own. You looked at him shocked but then closed your eyes and let him guide you fully.
When you broke up you looked at each other with smiles on your faces.
"Y/n, maybe our experiment ended but, would you care to join me on my journey to find the meaning to this world? Together I believe we can figure it out." he said and you smiled.
"Of course albedo, I would love to accompany you!" you said as you let your head rest on his shoulder. He leaned his head over yours as you both looked at the pretty flower.
"KLEE! STOP RUNNING AWAYY!" you heard a high pinched voice and you saw a small floating child run after a very happy Klee.
"Ehehe come on Paimon, we gotta blast some fishes!" she said and then you saw the traveler run after them. You looked at Albedo and he just put his palm over his forehead.
"What about we pretend we didn't see that just now?" he said and you left out a happy laughter.
"Okay, that's a good plan." you said as you smiled.
