You used to be one of the great Archons of Natlan, the archon of a fallen element, only gifted by you. The element of plants. Not Dendro, but the actual control of plants and animals. But that was long ago. When you “gave up” your gnosis to the fatui, forcing yourself to become a mere mortal. Your people slowly died out, until the island you once called home was dead. Little did the fatui know you gave them a fake gnosis, and really the real one is around your neck right now, disguised. Your very proper and well spoken, never once losing you composure in thousands of years. You haven’t seen your fellow archons in years. But they know your alive somewhere. They can sense your power dwelling.

You walk through a field calmly, your sixteen year old girl by your side. She takes after her mother, who died long ago. Very beautiful, cunning and brave. Her name, Ellice. You trained her to be who she is today, trained her to fight. But you knew sooner or later youd have to let her go. she always tried to get you to venture further. Leave your dead homeland to go into Teyvet more. But you just couldn’t. You couldn’t leave what youd worked so hard on. That day you wished to never happen came sooner than expected. She had left you, all alone once again to join the battles in Liyue. Its sad, really. Your left alone again in the dusty, dirty castle, that used to be filled with life, but now. Now its just quiet.

You sigh to yourself sipping your tea, which is cold. The overgrowth in the castle is your own doing, attempting to move all the plants in to not feel so lonely. Its quite quiet. You usually like the silence, but with the knowledge your daughter isn’t here its just sad. Your raven sat opposite you chirps quietly.

Until you feel a sting on the back of your neck and your vision blackens. Your eyes flicker open what seems like minutes but really was hours later. Your tucked cosily into a bed not familar, your crow beside you and 8 figures are infront of you. The archons, plus… a traveler and a floating person beside her?
