Karmic Debt
“Adeptus Xiao!”
A voice called to him and he lifted his head, he tried to place the voice, which of the people who knew to call him was it? His name was called again and he stood up on the rooftop of the Wangshu Inn, his polearm appearing in his hand as he disappeared with the breeze to the location of the voice calling him.
Whatever he was expecting, it wasn’t this. Perhaps someone fighting a monster or Rex Lapis and an update. But no it was the doctor in training from Mondstadt, crumpled in a dead field. Xiao could sense it before he even approached the man, the karmic sins surrounding the area scratched at him, at his own debt. What had happened? The field was covered in a thin layer of snow and frost, blood here and there.
Snow crunched under foot as he approached the young man, he could sense the karma radiating off of him. “Ohm?” Xiao tested hesitantly, how many times had he seen this? It’d been so long but.. His grip tightened on his polearm. Despite the karma, he couldn’t sense any nearby threats, there didn’t seem to be any danger. He stepped closer still, every movement cautious, amber eyes watching intently.
The visible marks that lined the young man’s body glowed a faint hue, the usual heavy cloak of karma he wore radiated further off of him in small wisps. Finally Xiao knelt down in the snow in front of Ohm, the latter not even looking at him. Xiao could sense him attempting to contain himself. “What happened?” The yaksha questioned as he placed his polearm down in the snow beside him.
He was visibly afraid, hands planted firmly in the snow, hunched over, his bangs hid most of his face. Xiao watched the darkness wash over him in waves, such a physical manifestation not lost on the yaksha. “I just wanted to get around the treasure hoarder blockade. So I tried to teleport around but..” Ohm pushed himself up onto his knees, dull eyes wide and panicked as he looked around at the snow covered area.
As the realisation of his actions further dawned on him, Xiao was able to see the karmic debt eat at the man, threatening to take him like it threatened the yaksha all those years ago. “You suffered an uncontrollable surge of adeptal energy.” The yaksha didn’t really know, how could he? Ohm was a mortal wielding energy beyond what should ever be possible, even for a vision-bearer. “I do not possess all of the answers, but I need you to calm down.”
“I killed those people.. They didn’t.. They didn’t deserve it, by all accounts they were innocent cowards.” Ohm stammered on his words, looking down at his ice covered hands. Xiao watched the marks on his face flicker, glowing a lighter blue than before. “Does this make me a monster..?” He mumbled to himself, closing his hands and opening them again before turning his gaze to Xiao.
Xiao could have remarked snidely, his debt much greater than the mortal’s, if he thought himself a monster, what did that make Xiao? He had many debts to pay due to the life he was enslaved to so long ago and the life he chose. But of what he knew of the young man, he rarely viewed others in the same lense he viewed himself. Morax had once made that clear.
Ohm fell forward again, breathing hard, undoubtedly the pain of his karmic debt was beginning to get to him. Should anyone enter this field, Xiao figured they’d suffer the same fate as the others already had. “I realise that this is a difficult request given your influx of human emotion, but you do really need to calm down.” Xiao tried to speak calmly, but the yaksha could easily admit he was out of his league here.
The yaksha hesitantly reached out, following an action he frequently saw while residing at the inn. He took Ohm’s hands within his own gloved ones, he’d witnessed the mortals do this to calm one another.. But he was quickly put off by how cold Ohm’s hands were. Was he always this cold? Xiao had only ever touched him once, when he blessed him. The ice on his gloves bit through Xiao’s, chilling his hands immensely.
Rather awkwardly, as if he stumbled over the action, he intertwined their fingers. “Focus on the warmth of my hands..?” Xiao tried, earning a look from the man that he didn’t quite understand. But Ohm seemingly obliged, closing his eyes and trying to focus on Xiao’s hands. Xiao watched with a careful gaze, watched the wisps dissipate, the cloak of darkness settled, and slowly the markings on his face began to fade to their usual navy blue.
The snow around them began to melt as the vision-bearer’s abilities no longer affected the surrounding temperature. And yet, his hands never grew warmer, the ice retreated to just his fingertips, but he didn’t grow any warmer. Xiao wondered, momentarily, if he should be concerned. But mortal physiology was beyond his comprehension. He didn’t have time to focus on it, his attention on the young man.
“Unfortunately I have learned the hard way, that the only way to properly deal with this, is to accept the debt.” Xiao did his best not to sound like he usually did, but his voice still betrayed him. Why did he have to sound so annoyed? Ohm’s eyes opened, duller now that he didn’t look as panicked. He looked so tired, and yet, he was so young. Xiao couldn’t help but feel sympathetic.
“I don’t understand what that means.” Ohm admitted in a quiet tone, he looked down at their intertwined hands once more. His mouth was set in a line, bangs obscuring parts of his lilac gaze. Xiao had seen this look before, the one in Ohm’s eyes. When his fellow yakshas were driven mad by their debt. Would the same fate befall Morax’s mortal friend? And if it did? What would it look like? Would he have to..
Xiao squeezed his hands and drew Ohm’s attention once more. “You need to stop fighting how you feel. That anger you feel, Ohm, it will only grow. The more you stifle it, the harder it will be to ignore.” The yaksha’s advice seemed hopeless, but he quickly continued. “You need to use it, let it lead you, but do not let it consume you. In time, you will pay your debts back.”
Ohm almost laughed, a breathless exhale escaping him as he shook his head gently. “I don’t live as long as you, will I ever really pay it back? Because it feels like this anger is limitless, and I’m not sure what will happen if I can’t stop it.” Xiao frowned, sure of what he had to do, but much like back then, he didn’t like it. Even worse still was Ohm’s age, his mortality. Mortals were not meant to carry sins like this.
“If your hatred consumes you, I will put you down. For that is my duty.” In some ways, Xiao understood better than anybody Ohm’s reservations and his anger, the plaguing itch that never truly went away. “I cannot promise it will get better nor can I promise an easy future. I have seen what this hatred can do to one’s mind. Be steadfast.”
The young man looked down, his fingers closing around Xiao’s hands after all this time. “Perhaps you should kill me now? Save us both the trouble, Adeptus Xiao.” His request put the yaksha off, amber hued eyes narrowing. He hung his head and Xiao could sense it again, it was suffocating. How much debt could one mortal foster in so little time? Still, Xiao squeezed his hands, attempting to calm him again.
“You are not so far gone as to deserve death, Ohm.” He insisted. Xiao wasn’t entirely sure why he was so protective of somebody he barely knew, was it that he understood how hopeless Ohm felt? Was it because he could sense the young man’s fear? Or was it his selfish desire to make up for the mistakes he had made in the past with his fellow yaksha? “I’ll do my best to ensure you do not succumb to the darkness.” He promised nonetheless.
Ohm looked at him, lilac eyes reflected his amber ones, and he could see himself in them. Xiao released one of his hands in order to grab his polearm, but his other kept firm. He then slowly stood, pulling Ohm to his feet in the now peaceful field. “If there is ever another need. Just call my name. I will come.” Xiao hesitantly released Ohm’s hand, taking a step away from him. The young man crossed his arms over his chest, the wind blowing his cloak in its warm air. “Goodbye, adeptus Ohm.”
“Goodbye, Xiao.”
