#rukkhadevata

Nahida!MC au, but Rukkhadevata claws her way out of the void the moment she realizes her next incarnation was literally a child- sorry if this is short!

Like maybe Rukkhadevata, somewhere within the void, notices baby Nahida!MC, and goes- "...That's a child. That. Is. A. Child-"

Mom mode activated.

Woman literally claws herself out and back to the world of the living, maybe during Nahida!MC's first meeting with Apep-

And then when Nahida!MC asks Apep for help, because that lady looks like her, and Apep, along with Aranaras, helps stabilize Rukkhadevata's form.

And with a now sleeping Nahida!MC resting on Rukkhadevata's lap, the three fractions (Rukka, Apep, and the Aranara) than make a truce.

It's all for Nahida!MC's safety, and for that safety, the Grand Sage and his followers needed to go.

And with Nahida!MC safely back in the Aranara's domain, Rukkhadevata, still dressed in torn clothes probably covered in her blood, hair tangled and dirty-

She marches straight into Sumeru city... with Apep appearing not too far from the city as well, cooking up quite the chaos.

With her messy form, Rukkhadevata looked terrifying to all the city dwellers, but the Goddess was way more focus on the task at hand.

Getting her hands on the Sages who dare try to cage her daughter, to wipe away all the hard work Rukkhadevata did in her years as the Dendro Archon-

Ungrateful, arrogant mortals-

Needless to say, the Grand Sage and his cronies nearly passed away on the spot when she stalks in like a wretched beast from the abyss-

Fast forward a few days later, and Sumeru City was in a festive mood!

The Dendro Archon had returned to governing power, and with her came a surprise. A daughter! A Princess of Dendro, Nahida!MC!

All of Sumeru quickly came to adore the girl, as she was their Archon's child. A child that had the blessing of the terrifying Dendro Dragon of the desert, and the love of the Aranaras!

Awesomely delicious lore for the polycule !
