[Genshin Impact] Wandering the Mortal World with Zhongli

[Protagonist's point of view; lovers who grow together; building up Liyue; lighthearted; strong partners; love that develops over time; both main characters are aimless wanderers] [Cheerful and lively fairy as the protagonist * composed and refined god as the love interest] Wuyou is the most experienced fairy on Teyvat, yet his true form is nothing more than the tiniest speck of dust in the mortal world. A being who took human form from a fairy, Wuyou had no origin to return to and nowhere to go. Then one day, he picked up a similarly inhuman young Geo Archon and began raising him. The little Geo Archon had short limbs and dragon horns. He would always offer his opinions to Wuyou with solemn seriousness, like a tiny grown-up. He was so adorable that Wuyou's fatherly instincts kicked in. He wished he could place every rare treasure in the mortal world before the little Geo Archon and spoil him to bits! So, in order to gather rare treasures for the little Geo Archon, Wuyou took the little one to nearly every corner of Teyvat. “Little Geo Archon, I hear the dandelion fluff in the Dandelion Sea is especially plump and perfect for collecting. How about we set off for the Dandelion Sea right away and pick some?” Wuyou said with a beaming smile, knocking a fist into his palm. Before the little Geo Archon could answer, he immediately grabbed him and set off. The little Geo Archon tilted his head and obediently followed. But when they reached the Dandelion Sea, they discovered that they were both aligned with Geo. They could only stare helplessly at the dandelions, unable to pick a single one. Wuyou: “Little Geo Archon, there are some particularly dazzling Stones of Stillness at the Silent Sea. How about we take a trip there?” The little Geo Archon hesitated slightly, but still went with Wuyou. He never expected that the Stones of Stillness were courtship stones used by a certain tribe... Wuyou: “Little Geo Archon, I want to take a look at the boundary between life and death. It's nothing, I'm just curious. Come on, let's go~” “Little Geo Archon...” The little Geo Archon pressed his lips together. “...If you insist.” The two of them spent more than three thousand years wandering around, but the Archon War proposed by Celestia threw their leisurely travels into disarray. Teyvat suddenly descended into chaos. Wuyou and Morax's carefree travels through the mortal world were forced to end. Having experienced the suffering of the people, they decided to join the nearby adepti in building Liyue. They hadn't wanted to get involved, but before they knew it, they had already become entangled in the absurd game Celestia had set up. The remains of defeated gods polluted the ley lines, and Wuyou, whose existence was closely tied to their power, was deeply affected. His own strength gradually weakened. “Though I have no desire to vie for power, I know the suffering of the people.” As Wuyou grew weaker by the day, Morax could only rely on his own strength to wipe out every potential threat surrounding Liyue. Looking at Liyue after the war, where not a blade of grass grew, Wuyou decided to expend all his power to restore its former splendor. He himself became an adeptus without a shred of power. “Morax, congratulations on becoming one of the Seven. This is a gift for you. No returns, okay?” From then on, the story of Adeptus Wuyou spread through every street and alley of Liyue, but the people of Liyue never saw his cheerful figure again. Many years later, Zhongli held a birdcage containing a Chinese thrush, his expression troubled. He looked toward the Traveler and noticed they were lost in thought. Following their gaze, he caught sight of an old friend he had not seen in a long time. “I'd buy osmanthus wine and share it with you. Old friend, when will we meet again?” “Wuyou, it's been a long time.” Zhongli's face brightened. Wuyou greeted him with a beaming smile. “Zhongli, do you have any money on you? I'd like to travel all over Teyvat with you again. What do you say?” “I'm afraid my pockets are a little light. Perhaps we could put the travel expenses on the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's tab,” Zhongli mused. Theme: Even in the depths of darkness, one must yearn for the light.
