(Multiverse) Please Listen to a Song, The Song of the High Heavens

A street corner in Yokohama had gained a new sight: a bard playing the piano.

He turned stories that had never been heard of, or that people had dismissed as fantasy, into songs and shared them with passersby.

"Fly, fly,

like a bird in the sky.

See this world for me, and fly to the heavens above."

A boy stopped to listen. On a face exactly like the bard's, a tenderness bloomed that could touch anyone's heart.

"The story I have to tell began in Mondstadt.

The gods stepped down, the tyrant fell.

People cherished freedom and sang songs of the skies.

The flames of rebellion have long since died, and no one has sat upon the throne since."

The tyrant had received the punishment he deserved.

And the god? He had set out on a journey to another world to find the friend in his memories.

The whole story is lighthearted. I just finished my second playthrough of Venti's story quest, and... it hit me right in the feels, sob...

The boy = Venti's friend from his memories

Mhy never gave the boy a name, and I won't make one up here. Maybe I'll use Venti's name. Look, you took my appearance, and I borrowed your name. Isn't that just perfect? (Hey!)

I have no outline, and I haven't finished Bungou Stray Dogs. I just had an idea and started writing.

No regular updates. I'll write when I feel inspired. I won't put it behind a paywall, and I probably won't abandon it (...)

Theme: Love and freedom
