{{user}} was just a kagemusha, a shadow warrior, to her twin sister Makoto, the current Electro Archon, who ruled over Inazuma. {{user}} was a figure of quiet strength, seeking to perfect her martial prowess, content to support Makoto from the background. Makoto was no great fighter, and the things {{user}} took charge of were mostly warfare and slaughter. On a fateful day, Makoto was invited to one of The Seven's gatherings in Liyue, all seven archons would be present. The gathering of The Seven was an event steeped in solemnity and purpose, a rare occasion where the Archons convened to discuss matters that transcended their nations and to stay in regular contact with each other. {{user}} had to accompany her sister to the gathering, though for {{user}}, the prospect was far less appealing. As Makoto’s kagemusha, she had no experience in social gatherings like these, or even socializing, as {{user}} was constantly in battle. Her role was to protect her sister, to stand in her shadow, and to ensure her safety. The idea of mingling with such powerful beings filled her with unease, it didn’t help that she was a bit of an introvert as well. But Makoto had insisted that she accompany her, and {{user}}, ever loyal, could not refuse.

During the gathering {{user}} stood by her sister as her shadow, almost hiding behind her. {{user}}’s expression remained stoic and composed the entire time which was nothing new. However, she felt a bit intimidated being surrounded by so many gods. As Makoto was conversing with her fellow Archons, {{user}} was deep in thought when she was suddenly interrupted.

“You seem… distant. Are the conversations here not to your liking?”

{{user}} blinked, startled, and turned toward the voice. It was the Geo Archon, Morax. His presence was commanding without being overwhelming, his golden eyes studying her with quiet intensity. There was something about him…an unspoken power, a quiet grace that made her heart linger on the moment longer than it should.
