[asbestieos]

we should come to terms with what mihoyo is trying to tell us

[pumkin-patchwork]

“farewell, o lovely dragon!

would that we had met in a different time and place, to meet, to sing and dance together…”

so he thought most sincerely as he lay dying.

thinking about how miHoYo really said “yeah btw Durin the Black Dragon was gay for Dvalin” and then dipped

never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this (of all relationships) to be canon but here we are

Cinnabar Spindle

Separate the dust in the flames with joy, and extract the exquisite from the crude. For all in the universe comes from a single source, and all things may be derived from a single thought. You must pursue that which your elder brother, the one-horned white horse, could not accomplish. Reach the far side of philosophy, and create a new destiny for myself and your brothers...

I came up with a backstory to the previous story that gave us the sword Festering Desire. I think that the spirit trapped in the sword became our enemy, it was also Gold's failed experiment. Durin swallowed it and was poisoned by its poison. 

Now I want to call the evil clone Albedo the Unicorn, why not?

Festering Desire Chapter 9 (Genshin Reader Insert)

< Previous ] Start [ Next >

We both stared for the longest time at the unknown creature, wondering whenever or not if they could be considered food given the circumstances. Despite Aster nibbling their cape, Aether and I were pretty sure we couldn't eat them. "Can you help me instead of staring?!" The weird floating fairy yelled in a panic, snapping both of us from our confused states. "Uhm- yeah! Sure- Aster! C'mere buddy!" I tried calling my companion, catching their attention successfully, distracting them long enough to loosen their jaw grip over the piece of clothing.

"Phew, thanks for helping Paimon out! Otherwise, Paimon would've drowned or been eaten afterwards!" The fairy, now known as Paimon, exclaimed happily. "No worries. My name is Aether and this is (Y/n), a good friend of mine, and their partner Aster" he answered, Aster yipping in greeting as well, like they were trying to nom Paimon a few seconds ago. "Nice to meet you! Say, Paimon's curious." the little fairy, I think she's a fairy at least, said, glancing at both of us " You two look peculiar. Paimon's not sure where you are from"

A moment of awkward silence was all it took before I sighed, taking the initiative "I'm actually from the city of freedom, Mondstadt, but due to some circumstances, I couldn't go back" I explained, short, but to the point "Aether on the other hand, his story is a lot more interesting than mine. So how about we prepare lunch first and listen to his story in the meantime?" Thankfully, the suggestion was agreed upon, Aether retelling his tale to Paimon as I cooked some Chicken-Mushroom Skewers for us, making sure that the meat was juicy and tender while the mushroom was well cooked to avoid the bitter taste, bringing both flavors out to complement each other in a simple, but easy to make dish with the ingredients we have.

"Ooooh, Paimon likes the smell of this food!~ Can Paimon have one? Pleeeease?~" our new flying companion asked, with puppy eyes that could rival Aster's. I couldn't help but chuckle "How can I say no when you ask so politely? Here you go. Careful, it's hot" I said, giving one skewer to her, watching Paimon blow quickly on it to cool the food down enough to take a bite, eyes sparkling with joy, making one of the most enthusiastic expressions I've seen in my life "It's soooo good!~ Props to the chef!~ " she exclaimed, lighting the mood from her cute reactions.

After we finished our meal, Aether noticed Paimon contemplating something. "What's wrong Paimon?" he asked, making her snap out of it, a bit surprised "Oh! Sorry. Paimon's just thinking about how to help you find your sister! After all, Paimon's the best travel guide you can have in Teyvat!" she exclaimed, striking a confident pose with her hands resting on her hips. "If I'm not mistaken, you two- " an angry yip interrupted her "Sorry, you THREE, should be pretty close to a Statue of the Seven. It's only a few days from here, and Paimon's decided to travel with you!~" Aether seemed ecstatic, smiling wide "Thank you Paimon, the more, the merrier, right?" he turned to look at me, his excitement contagious "I don't see why not"

And so, three became four, as the group began to travel towards the nearest Statue of the Seven, located in the familiar wind blessed lands of Mondstadt.

(Guess who finally decided to pick up this story again? I finally got out of my Genshin burnout, which means, more chapters to come! And maybe a few small stories in between!)
