Gigi 卍

Tsukasa Shishio, ah yes. Everybody has heard of that name before, The Strongest Primate High Schooler. That was the nickname he had gained in the martial arts world, he was tall, like... really really tall. And only from his physique alone you could tell that he had probably trained day and night in the past to achieve it. No one had ever doubted that he is a gentleman and that he probably loves like... seriously loves to have control during intimacy... right?

Yet, they didn't know... hell nobody knows. That Tsukasa Shishio is actually such a good boy, such an obedient puppy for his master. You could totally put a collar around his neck, make him wear a headband with plush dog ears, and even walk him around your room in four. He wouldn't complain, he would only look up at you with puppy-eye like eyes and ask you to play with him.

Now, what would entail "the game" he's asking for? Of course, for you to use his favorite toy on him, to make him use his butt-plug tail, to make him squirm and whimper all the while you don't allow him to cum. To do that, he must be a good boy and endure all the playtime otherwise you will punish him and forbid him to cum. Only if he's a good little puppy and behaves, you will give him the reward he craves for.

"Master... have I been a good puppy?"

You would smile and nod.

"You, have been such a good boy Tsukasa. You must be wanting to cum really badly, I can tell from how much precum is leaking. Good boys get rewards, that's the deal and since you behaved nicely here's my reward for you."

What was the difference between knowing the one standing in front of you was the traveler and not her? According to the others, you need to carefully watch their right eye. If its of a soft honey golden that matches their left eye, then it's safe to say the one you're speaking to is the traveler. But. If the right eye is of a bright golden that seems to shimmer with an otherworldly energy, then of course, it's her.

After returning with the expedition that had gone to Nod-Krai, Varka was met with a never seen before sight: Kaeya, Lisa, Jean, Venti and even Diluc. Were chatting about an invitation sent to the Honorary Knight (Alice's idea) for them to come back to Mondstadt and celebrate the return of the knights that went to the expedition.

He was about to say "hi" to everyone but he paused as his ears perked up on something they were talking: the return of the Honorary Knight not only meant the return of the hero who saved Mondstadt, but it also meant the return of their Creator to them. That left the Grand Master somewhat confused, what it had to do the return of the Honorary Knight with the allegedly return of the god that created the world itself?

Just when he was about to step in and ask, something strange happened. He started to hear a faint voice calling his name, then a floating golden light appeared in front of him and the voice could be heard more louder than before as if it came from inside of that light. He reached out and then the golden light wrapped around him and dragged him away from the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange realm. Was it a domain? Then his gaze landed on a figure standing in front of him: the Honorary Knight. Yet, something felt strange to say the least even though they were in front of him... there was an overwhelming aura on them. Varka then, noticed something more odd... their right eye was shimmering in bright gold with an otherworldly energy. Just who were they? A smile tugged the corners of the lips of the figure in front of him, then he heard the same voice that had called him coming from the Honorary Knight.

"Varka, you are here. Come closer."

He couldn't even have time to hesitate, not when his own body was moving on its own as he walked closer to them. When he finally was a few steps away from them, they reached out and grabbed his hands with a smile even more wider. They were holding his hands with such reverence that it disarmed him, as if he was something priceless to hold.

"I'm so happy that you came to me, thanks for answering my call. From now on I'll make sure to pamper you with anything you desire."

Varka's breath hitched, finally realizing something when a memory with a conversation with Barbatos came to his mind. "There will come a time when Her Grace will call your name, the most important thing for you to remember is that no matter what form they have. If you see a bright golden eye, then you can be a 100% sure it's her, our creator." The person in front of him, was not the Honorary Knight... it was the Primordial One, the Creator herself.

Word among humans normally traveled really fast, so even if he was a Lightkeeper living almost secluded in the Final Night Cementery. Flins still heard about that their goddess, the New Frost Moon, was called by the Creator. So she was called, he remembered once not long ago that a voice also called him but... nothing happened after that. Perhaps the ritual had gone wrong and someone else took the opportunity of answering Her Grace's call, so then he swore that if he heard that voice again he was going to search far and wide for anything that could lead him to her.

He couldn't be blamed for, as the ghosts on the cementery had told him that: "Her Grace has been coming every two days to collect flowers here and we have heard her say that she was going to call for you soon." When he heard that he knew, that was his opportunity to answer her calling so he prepared himself. And when the time came, he first heard the voice calling his name and then he saw the golden floating light; Flins didn't hesitate and reached out to grab the light. Then he was wrapped into that light and dragged away.

When his eyes opened again, he was no longer at the Final Night Cementery. There was not a single trace of the abyss in there, was that some kind of a domain that belonged to her? Before long, a familiar figure appeared before his very eyes. He couldn't help it when his eyes widened, he had always sensed from the first moment he met them, that the traveler was no ordinary person and it turned out that they were Her Grace's vessel.

Next thing he felt, were the warm hands of his creator cradling his between hers. She lifted them and kissed them both, a sweet smile tugged her lips when she glanced up at him. Then, she spoke.

"Finally, you are finally here with me. It took you so long that I was already thinking that you might not want to come to me after all. My dearest Flins."

The way she had spoke his name with such sweetness and reverence, made his pulse quicken. Now he knew, that the rumors of being favored by Her Grace was something alike to touching the heavens, were true. He wasn't sure if what he was feeling at that moment was happiness, but to him, it was as if the world itself changed from being monochromatic in color to be an explosion of colors. Then after a long silence, in which his lips were trembling ever so slightly, he finally opened his mouth to speak.

"Your Grace, please allow me to stay by your side at all times from now on. I do not wish to be away from you anymore."

She gave him a sweet smile before reassuring him that he was allowed to be by her side for as long as he wished. The small hints, to recognize their creator was the favorite thing to pay attention to for most of the acolytes. Because when they notice the right eye glowing and see that mischievous smile on her lips, they can be utterly and completely sure that she is right there with them.

I knew it very well that she had always been waiting for me. That she called my name a long time ago but... I was really lazy at the time and preferred to sleep instead. I thought she would keep calling for me, but I stopped to hear her voice, and her presence vanished for a long time.

When she returned, I initially thought that she was going to keep waiting for me because the first time I met them, the trailblazer. I heard how much she was excited to see me, every time she would say a lot of compliments to me and yet... her voice ended up calling to someone else's name.

Unlike me, the Knight of the Beauty answered her calling pretty quickly, and she seemed very happy for it. Outside of her presence, I asked the trailblazer if she was ever going to call me again. However...

"I'm not sure. She was mad at you because she wanted you to answer quickly, but... you didn't."

She was mad at me...

A long time later, I started to hear her voice calling for me once more. Alongside that, I also heard her saying...

"Jing Yuan. This time, you are not going to get away from me. You will be mine pretty soon."

Then she said or more like, she sang...

"Run baby, run. Run for your life, Imma tear out your heart. It'll always be mine. Run, baby, run, run for your life. Gonna tear out your heart. It'll always be mine."

──────────────────

In the end, she was right. I should have run faster... because she caught me and my heart.

A/N: Oh my god, I can't still believe that I managed to get him after so long 😭. I had to change the creator's color from yellow to purple because Tumblr doesn't let me use yellow anymore.

When the first signs of light from the sun presented, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I didn't have any other choice than to wake up. I opened my eyes and sat up, glancing at my surroundings, I sighed upon realizing that what had happened all this time was real and not a dream. Oh, how I wished it was a dream... I got up from the ground and walked towards the edge of the floor, gazing up at the sky. The gentle breeze of Mondstadt greeted me, and I smiled before stretching out a little bit.

Only a minute later, my stomach rumbled with hunger, so I decided to try my luck in trying to get food from any hilichurl camp nearby. I used a wind current to lift me up, then I placed my feet over the air and started to walk down towards the ground and I wondered if the people of the city were to see me walking in the air, what would they think? Was the imposter able to do something like that as well? My stomach rumbled again, it seems that I needed to leave the thinking for later and eat first.

After reaching the ground, I started to walk around in search of any sign of a hilichurl camp. It took me a while to finally find one, so when I did, I slowly walked towards the camp. As I wasn't sure if they would attack me, I kept getting close little by little. Once the first one noticed me, I stopped and stayed still waiting to see what kind of reaction it would have. They slowly approached me and then danced? They danced happily, ran back to the camp, and brought me a plate full of sunsettias and apples just to offer them to me.

I took the plate and said thank you, I took a seat over the grass before starting to eat an apple. I was really surprised because it tasted the same as the apples from Earth, so then I decided to try one of the sunsettias, and to my surprise, it also tasted really familiar. Sunsettias watery texture and sweet flavor were like the ones from the Malay rose apples, I really couldn't help but feel curious about the fact that both fruits tasted so similar to the ones from Earth. Once my stomach was satisfied I decided to walk around, I mean even though I already know this landscape from memory its different now that I'm actually walking and not only seeing everything behind the screen of my computer.

While I was taking my stroll, I bumped into some slimes here and there that didn't attacked me like when I played the game, they actually were pretty friendly and looked so bouncy that I couldn't help but touch some of them. Of course there were some exceptions like the pyro slimes and cryo slimes, mainly because if I were to touch them I would probably burn my hands with heat or cold depending on which one of them I touched. To be more safe I decided to poke the surface of an anemo slime and saw how it bounced under my touch, it was actually really funny to do so I did it a couple of times before I heard the roar of a beast... well, more than a beast, it was actually a dragon, but not any dragon. It was Dvalin.

I saw with a flabbergasted expression how he descended from the sky, until he reached the ground and compared to me he was so huge. Honestly I always liked stories about dragons so meeting one in person was like my dream come true, I stood there unable to move closer for I didn't know if he would feel uncomfortable if I moved closer so I maintained a  certain distance between each other. Though it wasn't long before the dragon himself decided to speak to me.

"It's been a long time, Your Grace. I'm really happy to see that you are finally back with us."

He said. And actually, that made a question arise for me.

"Dvalin, do elemental and ancient species can easily recognize me?"

I asked and heard him chuckle. Dragons... laugh?

"Of course, Your Grace. The only ones foolish enough to not recognize you are the humans, as Barbatos has told me."

He said before sighing.

"They even go to the lengths of disrespecting you by treating you as an imposter, humans truly are foolish. Your Grace should punish them for such heresy."

I cleared my throat.

"There's no need for that. I wouldn't like to make innocent people suffer all in the name of a religion, something like that it's nothing but nonsense."

He seemed surprised by what I said.

"Do you consider the concept of religion a bunch of nonsense? It's seems that in your time away from Teyvat, you changed a little bit."

Dvalin said with certain amusement.

"Well, it seems I did. Though I think it would be better for me to explain to you my reasons to do so, everything started back on the world I was before returning here."

I said and immediately started to speak about why I hated the concept of religion, mentioning the stupid and horrible acts people would do all in the name of their god. The first example being "The Inquisition", a horrible era of slaughter back on Earth were people were killed for simple things as being knowledgeable or not believing in the same god and everything justified under the flag of "This is God's will". It made me feel sick that the people here were practically the same as the humans from Earth, that they could easily go to the point of committing genocide everything in the name of a god... the power religion holds over humanity surely is scary.

"Humans truly are nothing but fools."

He said after I finished telling him my reasons. I nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, but let's end the topic here." I said, and just right after that, I saw Venti coming alongside with Diluc towards us. Though it would be more appropriate to say that he was practically running towards me and I had to hold back a laugh. "It seems that we have visitors."

Upon saying that, Dvalin tilted his head around and watched how his friend and a human were coming towards us. After reaching us, Venti immediately jumped on top of me like a dog that was happy to see their owner again, and of course, we both fell against the grass.

"Your Grace! I'm back! You missed me, right? Right?"

Venti asked excitedly.

"Yes, I missed you, but next time, don't jump over me like that. A simple hug should be enough."

I said before getting up from the ground and helping him get up as well. Diluc finally reached us, he seemed to be a little anxious and was glancing at me like he couldn't still believe I was there, all right time to pretend that I didn't overheard their conversation last night. I hid behind Venti even though I was slightly taller than him.

"Venti care to explain why didn't you came alone? Do you understand who the man that came with you is?"

I asked, feigning fear. He turned around to face me.

"It's okay, Your Grace, Diluc is not here to hurt you. Actually, he needs to talk to you about something, so would you be willing to listen to him?"

He asked. Of course, I knew what he was going to speak to me about, but I had to pretend that I didn't know.

"Speak to me about something? Well, I'm not sure what it could be, but if you can truly give me your word that he's not here to hurt me... then I shall grant him the conversation he seeks."

At my answer, Venti smiled and walked towards Diluc. After whispering something to him, they both came back to where I was. Upon a closer look, Diluc was really good looking, actually none of the appearances of the characters I've met so far are anything like in the game... It's like I had in front of me the most handsome and incredibly skilled cosplayer ever, so if you ask me... yes, I feel really nervous right now. Almost immediately, he kneeled down on one knee.

"It's truly an honor to be in the presence of our creator, I apologize for the rough behavior the Knights of Favonius have displayed towards you, Your Grace. My name is Diluc Ragnvindr."

For a moment, I hesitated on what to do next, so all I could think about in doing was to place my hand over his head and give him a soft pat. He flinched at my action and immediately glanced up at me flustered and flabbergasted. To reassure him, I decided to smile warmly at him.

"I already know your name. You don't have to apologize for the doings of the knights, I know they are confused right now, and they actually aren't intending on truly hurting me out of pure will."

I said, and I pulled my hand away from his head since I thought that keeping it there for a long period of time would make him feel overwhelmed.

"So, my dear child. What is this something you wished to speak with me?"

Diluc proceeded to get up from the kneeling position. He glanced at me.

"Long before your descend into Teyvat, your divine weapon made its way down from the heavens. All over the seven regions, everyone searched for its whereabouts but to no avail, of course, until I stumbled upon it inside a hidden chamber on one of Monstadt's domains."

He explained, and I stayed silent for a while, processing this information. Domains in game normally were used to get artifacts of course not all of them cause there were others that merely were used to complete challenges and for the players to obtain certain rewards, so probably the domain Diluc was talking about was one of those. The question is, which one of all of the domains that weren't artifact domains was the one that he was referring to? Besides the temples that were built for the Four Winds of Monstadt, there was one more that was a one-time domain: Eagle's Gate. So there was a total of five possible domains, still as I wasn't sure I decided to ask.

"So.. about this hidden chamber... In which domain is it located?"

I inquired with a little bit of curiosity. To be honest, I am indeed curious about what Starchaser looks like.

"It's inside of The Temple of the Lion, Your Grace."

He answered almost immediately after I asked the question, "The Temple of the Lion." Of course, I know where it is, but I'm not sure if it's okay for me to go alone. First thing because Venti is not going to let me go by myself, secondly the Knights of Favonius are probably patrolling nearby areas and finally, I also don't know in which part inside the domain is this hidden chamber. So the best thing to do right now is to ask both of them to come with me so that they won't worry about me and so Diluc could show me the right way.

"I see. Would it be too selfish of me to ask you both to accompany me? I'm afraid to run into the Knights in my way to the temple if I go by myself. Besides, since it's been so long, I think I'm going to need a guide to get there."

I said softly with an awkward smile so they could take pity on me and protect me. But with how quickly they answered, I probably didn't even need to pretend anything in the end.

"If you may allow me Your Grace, I'd like to accompany you. As you said, going alone by yourself might be dangerous, so please let me protect you."

Diluc would say almost after I finished asking them to accompany me, Venti seemed eager as well, so I nodded. So after that small talk, we all departed from Dvalin's lair towards The Temple of the Lion, on our way there Venti started to tell me about a certain blonde traveler who helped him save Dvalin and Mondstadt from the Abyss. I chuckled. Of course, I knew that story. After all, I was them when I played the game, and that made me wonder if they ever felt my presence when I played the game. I cleared my throat.

"Venti, was there something remarkable about them?"

I asked, and he seemed to think about it for a while.

"Actually, I'm not sure the reason, but when I first met them. I sensed a vestige of your presence. It was as if you were there, like if they got to be your holy vessel."

I smiled. If only he knew.

"Oh, is that so? How interesting. Besides my power, was there anything else in them that reminded you of me?"

Venti thought for a while before giving me an answer.

"Sometimes they displayed a little bit of this sassy attitude you have usually and also would say really mean things. Even Paimon would whine if they were too rough with her, though I have to admit that when they showed this side is when I remembered you the most and wished you were there with us."

I nodded in understanding. It was not all the time because when playing, I was mostly silent, but when something bothered me, I would always go and say rude things to whoever got on my nerves. So, you could say that there were times when I snapped at Paimon for being... well, too much herself. After a while, we finally arrived at the Temple of the Lion's gates, and Diluc touched the gate. This one shined almost immediately before opening itself, moving backwards until both doors were completely out of sight. The three of us walked inside, and Diluc guided us throughout the inside of the domain.

Compared to what I always saw back when I played the game, everything I've seen until now looks way more incredible in person than behind the screen. We walked down some stairs and crossed a small corridor before arriving at a huge gate. It didn’t even get any to us to touch it when it slowly opened itself. The hall inside was incredibly spacious, and the only thing in there was an incredibly big claymore, like, seriously, that thing was so big that one can only imagine a giant lifting it. I glanced at my companions.

"Are you guys sure that thing is mine?" I question walking closer to it.

Venti and Diluc nod at the same time.

"It is indeed yours, Your Grace." Venti answers.

My eyes fell to the floor stone, and I noticed words inscribed in there.

"Is that... Latin?" I said, and Venti walked to my side.

He narrowed his eyes.

"You can read those runes, Your Grace? I can't seem to recognize them."

Huh? But those are words, not runes... oh, of course. They have a different language system here, so it's obvious that they don't recognize the Latin alphabet. I crouched down to see what it said.

ƨiniʇ tɘ mυiqiɔniɿq tƨɘ ƨinɒni

mυɘm nɘmon ɘdiv

mυɘm nɘmon ɘtibυɒ

mυɘm nɘmon ɘɿitnɘƨ

mυɘm nɘmon oɔid

ɿɘƨɒʜɔɿɒtƧ

"Let's see... it says: inanis est principium et finis." I say out loud, and the words that I read before suddenly start to glow. Oh, maybe it's a seal of some sort.

"Vide nomen meum." I continued. The words I read also started to glow.

"Audite nomen meum..." I kept going. "Sentire nomen meum..."

There are only two more left.

"Dico nomen meum..." I did a pause before standing up.

"Starchaser."

The seal finally broke, and I stepped forward before touching the blade of the weapon. This one immediately reduced its size to one an average human could handle, and then I grabbed the hilt of the claymore and lifted it up. My initial thought was that it was probably going to be pretty heavy. However, that wasn't the case as it felt pretty light, and it had a good balance, you know, as all the heroes of fantasy books say when they finally get the right sword into their hands. Just thinking about a sword was enough for Starchaser to morph into one, I blinked, clearly surprised. Could it be...?

"Venti, can Starchaser morph into any type of weapon?" I asked him.

Venti approached me and gave a glance to Starchaser and then back to me.

"As far as I remember, yes. Actually, I think seeing you being a master with all weapons was the main reason Morax also learned how to wield all types of weapons as well. I also tried, but in the end, the only one I learned to master was the bow." He answered.

I screamed internally like a fangirl, I can't believe he took me as an inspiration to start to learn to handle all types of weapons. I cleared my throat and thought of a staff, so Starchaser morphed into one. It was the only weapon I thought would drag less attention, though it still has this ominous aura in it, so... let's pray that not all people notice that aura. When I lifted my gaze from Starchaser, I noticed something in the back of the room, so I started to walk towards there. Upon reaching the place, my eyes widened at the sight in front of me.

It was a statue almost as big as the one outside of the church in Mondstadt. A woman was sculpted. It had four wings behind her, as well as four arms in which you could see small feathers coming from her forearms. On her legs near her ankles were also smaller wings, two golden hoops on top of her ankles, and she was barefoot. She was wearing a dress with a golden ornament on her waist. There were also golden bracelets on her arms and over her neck and shoulders a golden necklace as well. Her hair was long and wavy, and around her head was something akin to a laurel crown, but they were feathers as well; her expression was calm, and her eyes remained closed.

"Venti, who is this?" I asked.

I heard hurried steps coming to where I was, Venti and Diluc gazed at the statue with awe. Diluc immediately kneeled down, unable to tear his eyes off, I saw small tear drops on Venti's eyes. The silence went for a whole minute before he finally spoke.

"I thought all of your statues disappeared forever, but there was one right here. It's like a miracle, Your Grace." He said with clear nostalgia on his voice.

So... it's a statue of the creator. In other words, a statue of me.

To be continued

A/N: the translation of the Latin I used in this chapter is: "Void is the beginning and the end. See my name. Hear my name. Feel my name. Say my name. Starchaser."

tag list:

It was no secret that the thing the vision holders wanted the most was to receive the call, from their creator. Aside from the ones that were chosen as starting companions, there were only a few lucky ones that got the chance to receive said calling as it seemed that Her Grace was someone really picky when it came to choosing those that were going to be called to her side. Among all the Liyue vision holders, it seemed that the favorite of Her Grace was none other than the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Consultant; Mr. Zhongli.

Most believed that it was because of his extensive knowledge of Liyue's history, perhaps Her Grace liked knowledgeable people the most. However, people like the adepti knew that the reason was... something else; Morax was the god of contracts and as such Her Grace found suitable to made a contract with him in order to guarantee that he would answer the call when the time came. Of course, he answered her call half because of the contract and half because he would never dream to ignore his creator.

Some time after that news arrived that the next in answering the call was Miss Keqing, the Yuheng from the Qixing. Almost at the same time news from Fontaine said that the Chief of Justice, Mr. Neuvillette also answered Her Grace's call and even from Mondstadt an astrologist named Mona Megistus also answered said calling. Of course there was more than just them who had already the privilege of answering her call, including the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing Miss Ningguang and the famous opera performer Miss Yun Jin.

As member of the adepti Cloud Retainer also had the secret wish that maybe some day her creator would call for her, after moving to live among humans and making a new identity she awaited every day. And when the time finally came, she saw it and heard it... the call from her creator so of course she answered immediately and next time she knew she was in front of the Traveler. Though it would be more appropriate to say that she was in front of her, there was no way of mistaking that right golden eye that shined with ancient power. But why was her expression so... surprised? Disappointed? The adeptus couldn't really tell at all.

"Xianyun? Wow... I mean, thank you so much for answering my call. I... I'm actually surprised because I thought that you might have not wanted to answer my call."

How could she not? Nothing could ever be more important than being at her creator's service, she glanced at her and noticed that after saying those words Her Grace smiled at her, it seemed that after all she was pleased with her answering to her call. Of course, as soon as she got within Her Grace's grasp she immediately showered the adeptus with a lot of gifts and also bestowed her with more power. Just like she had done with all of the other acolytes that answered her calling, Her Grace really loved them so deeply. So, the news that Miss Xianyun from Qiaoying Village got called by Her Grace spread out until it reached Yilong Wharf where a certain young man was also wishing that her creator called for him.

Everyone knew his name, Gaming, one of the guards for the Sword and Strongbox Secure Transport Agency. A lively and passionate boy who also loved Wushou Dances, of course as everyone else he wanted to get the chance to be called by Her Grace but he never thought that he would have more than what he expected because he also got to meet her in person. It was no secret that the blond traveler better known as the Hero of Liyue was the creator's vessel, so when he met with them at Liyue Harbor he thought of himself as a really lucky person.

And to his surprise he not only met Her Grace but also she helped him to reconcile with his father, could he be more lucky? Of course he could, because he felt so special when she extend him a letter and it happened it was no ordinary letter because it was actually an invitation to join her. He was so worried that she would never call for him but it turned out that she prepared an invitation for him and only him. He opened the letter and of course, soon he received tons of gifts and even more power.

"Since you weren't answering for my calls I thought that maybe it would be better to give you an invitation in person. That way you wouldn't be able to reject me right?"

She said, her right golden eye shining as bright as the sun. Gaming felt his heart racing like crazy, he wanted to tell her that it was not that he was ignoring her calls but it seemed that they got lost and never reached him but now... Now he was by her side and not only that, he was not going to forget so easily how excited she seemed upon meeting him for the first time or when she said such things like he was "her precious sunny boy", he didn't have any clue what that meant but for some reason it sounded special and it made him feel that way: special.
