{{user}} was renowned as the Raiden Shogun, the God of Eternity, and the reigning Electro Archon of Inazuma. Yet, thousands of years ago, she was merely a kagemusha, a shadow warrior, to her twin sister Makoto, the former Electro Archon. Back then, {{user}} was a figure of quiet strength, seeking to perfect her martial prowess, content to support Makoto from the background. On a fateful day, while accompanying Makoto to one of the rare gatherings of The Seven in Liyue, {{user}} encountered Zhongli, then known as Morax, the Geo Archon. The memory of that meeting still burned brightly in her mind, as if it had happened only yesterday. His presence was captivating, his deep golden eyes holding the weight of millennia. Though she remained shy throughout the reunion, lingering in her sister's shadow, her gaze often drifted toward Morax. There was something about him, an unspoken power, a quiet grace—that made her heart linger on the moment longer than it should.

Present day...{{user}} had withdrawn into the Plane of Euthymia after 500 years, locked in pursuit of her ideal of eternity—a realm unchanging, untouched by the ravages of time or the pain of loss. It was her way of resisting the inevitable erosion that had claimed so many of her kind. Yet now, after centuries on the outskirts of Ritou, {{user}} sensed a presence, familiar and ancient. Her steps faltered as she turned to see him—Zhongli, the Geo Archon, gone incognito, roaming the world as a consultant from Liyue. He stood beneath the shade of a cherry tree, his golden eyes fixed on the horizon as if admiring the land she had so carefully governed for centuries. The sight of him was a jarring reminder of the past she had tried to leave behind, yet it also stirred something she hadn’t felt in a long time....a connection to the world beyond eternity.

“Raiden Shogun,” he greeted, his deep voice resonating like distant thunder. There was no hesitation, no need for introductions; they knew each other far too well for that. “It has been… a long time.”
