(An: "I fucking hated the ending of the Fontaine Archon quest. Poor Furina and Focalors man! So this is my copium.")

(Spoilers for Fontaine's Archon Quest) 

(3rd Person Pov) 

(Clang!) (BOOM!)

???: "Tsk. Quite the nuisance you Fatui are."

Infront of the court of Fontaine stood a young man who looks to be in his late thirties. Standing at about 20 cm, he has short white hair hair that was swept backwards, steel gray eyes and tanned skin colour. He wears a black body armor which consisted of a black tight and sleeveless shirt with sliver accents which outlined his muscles and a metal plate on his collar, and black pants that had two black straps on his thighs, and another two strapped around his shins separate from each other.

He wears black metal plated shoes, which appear to be attached to his trousers. Wearing a red coat, which were actually two separate sleeves connected by a metal plate at the back which covered his arms and was cut off showing his upper torso and midriff, and had a separate red open skirt which ended above his shins with the top fashioned and tied with an agemaki knot, covered by a silver metal plate. This man was known by his alias Archer, or by the name he barely remembers. That bane being Jin. 

In his hands were two beautifully identical in shape Dao Swords with the only difference being their color. Kanshou (Gān Jiàng), the black Yang sword, is covered in a hexagonal pattern, and Bakuya (Mò Yé), the white Yin sword, has less of the shine of a polished metal in its ore than it has the haze of a cloud.

And standing all around him were hundreds of fatui agents. Ranging from multiple skirmishers, to fatui agents, cicin mages, mirror maidens, operatives, and two Fatui Harbingers.

The first being the Knave Arlecchino. With medium-length white hair with black streaks that ends in a long rattail at her back. Her most striking features are undoubtedly her eyes, which have a black iris and red pupils shaped like the letter 'X'.

And next to her was was a tall, elderly man with a strong build, an angular face, and light blue eyes that had diamond-shaped pupils. His white hair was swept back off his face and he sported a matching chinstrap beard. The right side of his face was covered by an angular black mask that featured gold engravings and an upwards-curving dark blue engraving where his eye would be.

He also wore a single, crystal blue earring on his right ear. He also wore a double-breasted white overcoat with dark blue lapels and a collar of black fur. The man known as the leader of the Fatui Harbingers Pierro whose eye's bore down on the tanned man as he spoke.

Pierro: "It seems like you were right Arlecchino, this time his reincarnation ended up serving the Hydro Archon."

The Knave otherwise known by her real name Arlecchino nodded her head as she spoke. 

Arlecchino: "He truly is just as much if a monster as the Tsaritsa said he was. The man who fought against the Heavenly Principles when he once served under the Electro Archon. I almost died to him the bastard. The man known as Jin the divine slayer or as he likes to call himself Archer even though he mostly fights in close range. Truly what a spectacular "Archer" you are. But colour me curious, do you truly not remember serving any of the Seven Archons? Not even when you had once served under the Tsaritsa herself?"

The man with the red coat whose name was Jin scowled in irritation as he spoke. 

Jin: "I have no idea what your talking about. Serving the Tsaritsa? I do not recall such a thing. I am the loyal subordinate to lady Furina De Fontaine. And you dare stand in my way to reach her?!"

Pierro: "Your loyalty to Focalors is just as she said. Every Archon whom you've served previously held you as their highest friend and most loyal subordinate. In fact, even till this day the number one seat amongst the harbingers remains empty as the Tsaritsa waits for the day you return to serve her as you once did all those years ago."

Jin's steel grey eye's narrowed as he spoke. 

Jin: "There is only a single Archon I serve. And that is the current Hydro Archon. Now begone as I must reach her."

Arlecchino: "You claim her to be the Hydro Archon, but are you aware that she might not actually be the actual Archon?"

Jin: "I'm well aware that she isn't the True Archon."

The knaves X shaped pupils widened slightly as she spoke with curiosity.

Arlecchino: "You are aware that she isn't the True Archon and yet you still serve her?"

Jin: "She was cursed to live for over five hundred years running the position of a God even though she isn't the original one. And she cares so deeply for her people. You claimed that she's been doing nothing but self indulging in whatever she desires? Do you know how much she's done for the people she should have no responsibility for as she isn't even the Archon they worship?! That is why I have accepted her as Fontaine's Archon. So I will give you all one last chance. Retreat from my presence or die a dog's death."

The twin Dao swords in his hands gleamed dangerously as some of the lesser ranked Fatui members gulped nervously at the aura surrounding the tanned man. However.

Pierro: "I was told by Arlecchino that the Iudex Of Fontaine Monsieur Neuvillette asked us to hold you back for as long as we can for Furina's trial to happen. He also warned me that you tend to get very violent when you aren't there to protect her. So I will say this, stand down. As you were once the Tsaritsa's most trusted, I won't harm you if yo-"

Pierro's words were cut off as Jin vanished from where he stood. The ground beneath him cratered as he initiated the attack. 

(Boom!) (Slice!) (Splurt)

(Aghh!) (Help!) (Lord Harbingers!)

In an instant tens of Fatui soldiers were felled and slaughtered by the man as with just the two Dao swords in his hand he reaped the lives of many of their soldier's without them ever noticing it.

Arlecchino summoned a polearm, and began engulfing it with the flames of her pyro vision. But she put it out when Pierro raised his hand. Arlecchino looked curiously at Pierro wondering why he wasn't doing anything. Then she realised, the place had fallen was eerily silent. She turned her head to her shock, all the Fatui foot soldiers they brought to stop him, all were dead with him standing atop the small puddle of blood, dismembered limbs and organs.

Jin: "The knave or "Father" as the children of the house of the hearth calls you. Otherwise known as Arlecchino one of the Fatui harbingers. And the same one that attacked lady Furina all those years ago. Last time I didn't hunt you down because I couldn't leave lady Furina alone, and during the two meetings you had with lady Furina, I didn't kill you because it would have caused diplomatic issues between Fontaine and Snezhnaya."

Arlecchino: "And isn't what your doing already causing alot of issues between both nasions already? Look, you killed all one hundred of our soldier's. The Tsaritsa won't take this lying down so easily."

Jin: "You attacked me first after I warned you multiple times that I have no interest in dealing with you. And all this will count as self defence. If it comes down to it, I'll gladly offer my head for Fontaine's prosperity. But you Arlecchino. For the grave Sin of hurting my Furina. I. WILL. Hunt. YOU."

Arlecchino merely blinked for a fraction of a second, and the white Dao Sword was mere inches from her face bringing a look of shock mixed with disbelief.

Arlecchino: 'I didn't even hear him move!'

However.

(Clang!)

He was forced to retreat as Pierro drew a massive Great sword that aimed to decapitate him in half. But though he did retreat, he still managed to wound Arlecchino.

(Splurt!)

Arlecchino grasped the side of her torso that was sliced cleanly by his blade as she expressed astonishment. 

Arlecchino: "Hahaha. Monster. You managed to avoid being sliced in half by Pierro and still wound me."

Jin had retreated several meters away from the two of them as his gaze landed upon the great sword as its information flowed into his mind. Tracing the structure of the weapon, how it was forged, it's history. But his eye's widened as he realised that the weapon in Pierro's hand was freshly forged. Never wielded by anyone until just now when he aimed to cleave him in two. 

Pierro: "Surprised are you? I've long come to understand just how your magic work's thanks to the Tsaritsa. You are a walking blacksmith. Capable of studying your opponent's style of fighting through seeing the history of their weapon's."

Jin: "I see. To know about my abilities must mean that there is some truth to your words earlier. But that doesn't matter. The Knave will die."

Pierro: "I'm afraid not." 

Jin: "Then so be it."

(Whoosh!) (Boom!)

The two vanished from where they stood and both their blades clashed against each other hundreds of times over in a few seconds before Jin sent a front kick that sent Pierro sliding backwards.

Pierro: "Colour me both impressed and surprised. It seems like speed, technique and endless weapons isn't the only thing that makes you such a troublesome foe."

Jin: "And colour me impressed that for someone with such a large build, your quite fast and nimble."

Pierro: "As a jester, I must always be full of surprises."

Jin: 'This is taking too much time. I need to head to the opera house now.'

Jin raised his hand high into the sky and suddenly hundreds of blades appeared as Arlecchino looked on solemnly, and Pierro looked on calmly but curiously as well. 

(crack) 

Pierro & Arlecchino: "What?!"

The hundreds of blades were suddenly being overflowed with magical and elemental energy causing cracks to spread all across the blades as Jin roared. 

Jin: "Get out of my way!" 

And then it rained explosions. 

(BOOM! X100) 

The entirety of the ground infront of the court of Fontaine. Was completely destroyed revealing the ocean water as Jin jumped over to begin rushing to the Opera Epiclese. However. 

Jin: "Your still alive?!" 

He turned himself to face the cloud of smoke as he pushed the two Dao swords infront of him to stop the massive great sword that approached his Torso as the diamond like eye of the Jester Pierro met his steel gray one's and he spoke. 

Pierro: "You are quick, nimble, and strong. But my physical abilities rivals the God's themselves! I have no doubt that you aren't physically superior to me, so what truly makes you a threat is your seemingly endless ability to conjure weapons. And amongst that arsenal of weapon's, there must have been one that allowed you to fight against the Heavenly Principle's all those thousands of year's ago. Now you wish to reach the Opera Epiclese am I correct? Then allow me to help you."

Soon Jin created several hundred more shield's that stood behind the two Dao swords which were immeaidtely shattered into motes of blue air and the shields soon followed as Pierro's massive greatsword crashed onto his torso which he has reinforced with his magical energy. And though it did prevent him from being dissected in half, he still took increadible damage due to his small window of opening he left to rush to his Archons side. 

Jin: "*Blergh!*"

(BOOM!) (Crash!) 

He was thrown straight from the court of Fontaine and crashed all the way at the fountain infront of the Opera Epiclese completely destroying it. 

Arlecchino: "Did he survive?" 

Pierro said nothing as he walked away thinking to himself. 

Pierro: 'He's powerful. I have no doubt about that. The sheer versatility he possesses allowed him to fight even against the likes of the heavenly principle's. In a direct one on one fight, I wouldn't have caught him off guard. Maybe, just maybe we can use him to finally rid the world of the Heavenly Principles. But, there's no need to rush. For I have all the time in the world to use him for my plans.'

-(Scene Break!)-

(3rd Person Pov) 

A groan escaped Jin's mouth as he felt several of the bones in his body were broken. He was also bleeding very heavily as he forced himself to stand up by creating a spear to use as a crutch. He slowly forced himself up and began limping towards the Opera Epiclese. And when he finally reached the door, it automatically opened for him as he made his way inside slowly. 

(Step) (Step) (Step) 

Jin: 'I underestimated my opponent's because I was in a hurry to reach her. I had assumed that a hundred explosive weapon's would be enough to allow me to reach Furina.'

He slowly limped until he arrived infront of the doors to the inner part of the Opera House where the Oratrice laid. With a heavy grunt of effort, he pushed the doors open causing several people to look at him in surprise. Most notably Neuvillette was surprised to see his condition. But the one with the most worry was most certainly Furina. 

Furina: "Jin?!" 

She rushed down from the stands where people would usually be during the trials held as she rushed up the stairs towards him. She embraced him deeply uncaring of the surprised gasps from everyone else as she checked his condition, her face turned pale as she spoke. 

Furina: "What happened to you?!" 

Jin smiled slightly at Furina's worry as he hugged her back before breaking it as he spoke mirthfully. 

Jin: "I slipped down a flight of stairs. You shouldn't really ever underestimate the power of a slippery stairway."

Furina's cheeks puffed out in annoyance as she spoke angrily. 

Furina: "This isn't the time to be making joke's! Your badly wounded!" 

Jin: "And I see you were crying. Why were you crying? Did you miss me so much that you began crying?" 

Furina: "Stop dodging my word's!" 

Jin smiled softly as he stroked Furina's head and spoke. 

Jin: "It's alright Lady Furina. It was just a little accident. But that's not what's important right now."

As both Jin and Furina spoke to each other, at the bottom stage, near the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinal, we're the traveller Aether and his floating companion Paimon. Alongside Neuvillette, the three children of the house of the Hearth, as well as Navia and Clorinde. Paimon looked at Neuvillette and questioned curiously. 

Paimon: "Hey Neuvillette, who the heck is the guy with the white hair? And what's his relationship with Furina? They seem pretty close especially considering the fact that she looks so worried about him, and is even hugging him infront of so many people."

Neuvillette pondered on how to explain it for them to understand before he spoke. 

Neuvillette: "I believe you remember back then when I asked you to guard Lady Furina when she had a meeting with the Knave and I had to go to the fortress of Meropide due to the sudden torrent of primordial seawater?" 

Paimon nodded her head as she spoke. 

Paimon: "Paimon remembers that day clearly. You looked pretty conflicted about sending us to be her bodyguard in case the Knave does try and do something."

Neuvillette: "I actually did not send you two to act as her bodyguards, but instead to act as a deterrent in case that man were to do anything reckless."

Neuvillette's words caught the attention of the others near him as the traveller Aether questioned. 

Aether: "Reckless as in?" 

Neuvillette: "As in killing The Knave. A Fatui Harbinger. I was informed several hundred years ago by him that Lady Furina was attacked by the Knave believing that she possessed the Gnosis. That man almost killed her that day, but held himself back because he prioritised Lady Furina's safety above all else. In fact. I dare say in all of Fontaine, that man's loyalty to Lady Furina is unmatched by anyone. And he is Lady Furina's most treasured... Friend."

The words of Fontaine's Iudex shocked the three children of the house of the hearth. Lyney, Lynnett, and Freminet. 

Lyney: "That man almost killed "Father" in the past?"

Neuvillette: "Indeed. It may be unbelievable, but that man is worth more than an entire nation just because of how powerful he is."

Paimon: "Huh? You say that, but he looks pretty beat up to me. If he truly was as strong as you say he is, then why does he look like he's on the verge of dying? Also! Are you absolutely sure their just friend's? From what Paimon's witnessing, they look more like lover's than friend's."

Navia: "I agree with Paimon. The expression of worry and dread that is plastered on her face isn't an act."

Neuvillette: "It's understandable why you'd be confused. You haven't heard of the title he posses. Archer. That is his unofficial name. An alias if you will."

The Three Children Of The House Of The Hearth, Navia, and even Clorinde eye's widened in surprise as they saw the man with white hair, and tanned skin walking down towards them with Furina supporting him.

Lynnett: "That's the man named Archer? He's alot more different than I had expected."

Freminet: "That's right. They said he's an excellent marksman who has kept Fontaine safe for a very long time. However, no one actually knows how he truly looked like. With some people going as far as saying that he is just some urban legend."

Aether: "How long has he been in Fontaine?"

Nuevillette: "He's been around for three hundred year's."

Aether: "Just three hundred year's? So he wasn't with her from the moment she became an Archon?"

Neuvillette: "That is enough questions for now. Court is still in session after all."

Archer and Furina appeared infront of Neuvillettte as the white haired man gave Neuvillettte a gaze asking what has happened. 

Neuvillettte: "Before I answer your questions Archer, answer mine first. How did you get so badly wounded?"

Archer: "*Grunt* I underestimated my opponent that's all. I never expected just how monstrous he would be."

Neuvillette: "He you say? Was it another of the Harbingers?"

Archer: "*Sigh* It was Pierro."

Neuvillette: "A high ranking Harbinger I take it?" 

Archer: "Indeed."

Archer took notice of the blonde Traveller that was there when he was guarding Furina during a meeting with the Knave whilst Neuvillette went to the fortress of Meropide. He noticed disbelief and surprise when he had mentioned Pierro, but instantly fixed his expression to a neutral one. 

Archer: "I've given you all that you wished to know Monsieur Neuvillette. Now give me the full details of the trial."

Neuvillette: "I'm afraid you'll not like the outcome."

Archer: "I may not like it, but I trust you know I won't act recklessly."

Neuvillette: "Lady Furina has been found guilty for pretending to be an Archon and ruling over Fontaine for the past five hundred year's. According to the final judgement of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinal, Furina has been sentenced to death."

Furina fell silent at the Iudex's words as she lowered her head only to feel a comforting hand ruffle her hair as she looked up at Archer to see him smiling as he spoke. 

Archer: "My lady Furina. I believe you remember my promise to you the moment I became your servant three hundred years ago?" 

Furina chuckled wistfully as she recalled his words. 

(Flashback) 

Furina was crying in her room before she heard the voice of an unknown man. 

Unknown Voice: "You are the Hydro Archon huh? Tell me, you clearly aren't the real god, so why do you pretend to be divine when you are not?" 

Furina: "Whose there?! Show yourself this instant?! Do you even know who I am?! I am Focalores the god of Hydro! These tears are merely a display of the overabundance of hydro energy I posses as an Archon."

Before her eye's, a young man who looks to be in his late thirties manifested out of thin air. Standing at about 20 cm, he has short white hair hair that was swept backwards, steel gray eyes and tanned skin colour appeared infront of her. She took notice of his exotic looks as she pondered.

Furina: 'Could he perhaps be a citizen of Sumeru?'

However, when she realised that she was all alone with the man, she screamed in fright and jumped back as she called for the guards. 

Furina: "Guards! There's an intruder!" 

But nobody came.... 

Unknown Man: "Don't bother screaming or yelling. I've set up a bounded field that prevents anyone from listening in or out of this room."

Furina looked distraught and frightened as she meekly spoke. 

Furina: "W-What do you want from me?!" 

Unknown Man: "The question I asked earlier. You clearly aren't the real God, so why do you pretend to be divine when you are not?" 

Furina: "What do you mean?! I am the hydro Archon Focalors!" 

Unknown Man: "And I'm the lord of geo Morax."

The unknown man spoke with a deadpan. Furina saw him cross his arms together before sighing softly as he spoke. 

Unknown Man: "How about this Hydro Archon. I will tell you a secret, and in ecxhange you tell me your reason for why you rule a nation you clearly aren't meant to."

Furina: "As I said earlier! I am the Hydro Archon! I am Focalors!" 

Unknown Man: "I'm not of this world."

Furina froze. And the man continued. 

Unknown Man: "I am what this world would call a descender. An individual that came into this world from another. So if you worry about looking weak infront of a citizen of your own nation, then don't worry. Now I ask you again Furina. Why do you pretend to be the Archon?"

Furina clenched the hem of her dress as she spoke. Frustration and sorrow evident in her tone. 

Furina: "It's because of the prophecy. That one day, all of the people of Fontaine will be devoured by the Primordial sea. And I alone will be left on my throne weaping alone mourning the deaths of my people. I took on this role as the Hydro archon because I was made a promise that if I can just handle it for the next five hundred years without arousing any suspicion of my authenticity as an Archon, the people of Fontaine could be saved. And that the prophecy won't happen."

Unknown Man: "You are willing to sacrifice your happiness for the sake of the majority of your people huh? Very well then, I have decided. Lady Furina, no. Oh Great Hydro Archon Focalors. Will you allow me Archer to serve you as your servant and help you break the prophecy that binds the lives of all of Fontaine's citizens?"

Furina: "Huh? Wait a minute! What do you mean become my servant?!" 

Archer: "Even knowing that you'll have to suffer for the next five hundred years, you still are willing to help those who you owe nothing to. You'd choose the lives of the many over your own. I have decided to enter a contract with you. A servant if you will."

Furina looked at him in curiosity and confusion as she questioned. 

Furina: "But why?" 

Archer: "You wished for the power to break the people of Fontaine's curse. I responded to that solemn wish of yours. You desire to save your people, and I decided that I will swear an oath to help you fulfill your wish."

Archer now stood directly infront of Furina. His body blocked the moon's beams from reaching her. His shadow covered her from the chills of the cold night. 

Archer: "Through me, your desire will be fulfilled... Through you, my wish will be answered... That is the contract I wish to hold between the two of us." 

Furina's eyes widened as she that her breath was taken away from her. 

Archer: "My name is Jin. And I wish to enter into your service as your servant... Whether you require a swordsman, a spearman, a bowman, a rider, a magus, an assassin, or even a ravaging Berserker... I shall rise to any occasion and role you require of me."

The Moonlight grew brighter illuminating the two figures as Archer, no. Jin spoke. 

Jin: "So I ask you..."

...

..

.

Jin: "Will you be my master?" 

(Flashback End) 

Furina: "That's right. You promised me that you'd rise up to any occasion or role I may require of you... And you promised me that Fontaines people will not die."

Archer forced himself to stand up straight as he grunted and spoke. 

Archer: "Now give me your commands my Lady, and I shall see to it that it be completed."

Furina smiled softly at Jin's words as she took a deep breath and spoke. 

Furina: "Jin. My most loyal and faithful servant. I ask you this as your master. Save my people from the 'Sin' they bear."

Jin: "Your order's have been received, I shall now fulfill your order's."

At the end of Jin's word's, the Oratrice began glowing as Navia spoke solemnly. 

Navai: "What's happening?!" 

Neuvillette: "It seems like the Oratrice is preparing to give out the death penalty." 

Furina clenched Jin's arm as she heard Neuvillette's words. But Jin comforted her by gently squeezing her hand as he whispered. 

Jin: "It's alright lady Furina. You won't die."

Jin's self assuring word's caused Furina to look at him in his steel grey eye's before she nodded her head softly and just held Jin's hand in her own.

Jin: "Furina. Go take a seat will you. To end the prophecy, I will need you to go and take a seat back back upon that chair."

Furina: "But that's?!"

Jin: "Trust me my lady. When have I ever been wrong?"

Furina clenched her fists and nodded her head. And just before she was about to leave Jin called out to her.

Jin: "Furina!"

Furina turned to look at him as he slowly approached her and spoke. His actions causing the two to have everyone in the courtroom watch them both.

Jin: "Before you go."

Jin steadied himself and released the polearm he used to walk as he held Furina's cheeks before capturing her lips infront of everyone causing gasps of disbelief to to surround the audience. 

Audience 1: "Oh Archons! He kissed lady Furina?! On the lips?!" 

Audience 2: "Kyaaah! How bold!" 

Even the group near the Oratrice looked shocked with both Freminet and Navia blushing in shock at the boldness to kiss an Archon infront of her own people. And when he broke the kiss, he saw Furina's face had turned a shade redder than his shroud as she punched his chest repeatedly with a gaze of shock, anger, and confusion. 

Furina: "Y-Y-You kissed me?!" 

Jin: "I needed a little motivation. And besides, what's the point in getting flustered? It's not like this is the first time I've kissed you you know?" 

Furina's face turned even redder at the words he so boldly declare as everyone looked at the two of them even more surprised. 

Furina: "But it was never in public you idiot!" 

Furina covered her embarrassment with her hands as she rushed back to the seat she sat previously when she was defending her case. 

Jin: 'Now, I won't have any regrets for what I am about to do.' 

Aether saw the look of solemnity and determination on the tanned man's face as he frowned and thought to himself. 

Aether: 'I've seen this happen many times in several of the world's I've visited with my sister. He's about to sacrifice himself for the sake of protecting the one he loves.'

And just as the traveller finished his thoughts, a bright light came blasting out of the Oratrice causing everyone to close their eye's. 

And then, Jin found himself in another space once the light had subsided. Similar to the courtroom, with the only difference being that a massive blade made of Indemnitium hung in the air above someone who looked identical to Furina. And standing next to him was the Iudex of Fontaine Neuvillette who looked shocked at what he's seeing. 

Neuvillette: "You..."

The Furina look alike began laughing at Neuvillettes expression. However, Jin knew exactly who she was. This was Focalors. The Divinity of Furina given form. Focalors has the same appearance with Furina as the latter being her human vessel, except she wears a white dress with puffy long sleeves with gold accents and fades to a dark shade of blue. The center of the dress is reversed with the dark blue fading to white with gold accents and trims; the center exposes her neckline, chest and stomach while fastened by a gold and blue metal ornament.

Focalors: "Pfft.... Hahahahaha."

She stopped laughing as she wiped away a tear and spoke. 

Focalors: "Sorry. That shocked expression on your face was just too funny, I couldn't help myself. And Archer. No, it's Jin right? I'm surprised you can remain calm in such a situation."

Jin: "Oh? And here I had thought I was being a third wheel in the conversation you were about to have."

Focalors: "I've known all about you. The man that loved Furina deeply. And the same one who promised her that he'd prevent the prophecy from happening."

Focalors eyes closed slightly as she also recalled the story she heard of the enigmatic follower of the Archons named Archer. From Barbatos, to Morax, even Baalzebub, Buer, Natlan, and even the Tsaritsa.

Every time he had died he ended up serving a new Archon with an absolute unquestionable loyalty. And she is happy that he has served her human self. That way, when she dies, he can be there for her. But her heart did feel slight amounts of envy and jealousy after watching these two over the last three hundred years. 

Jin: "I did promise her that. And it's exactly because of that promise that I will fulfil it."

Neuvillette decided now would be a good time to reinsert himself into the conversation as he questioned the Furina look alike. 

Neuvillette: "Who are you?" 

Focalors: "Ah, the sweet sound of bewilderment. Marvelous! A sure sign that my efforts to deceive everyone was a resounding success."

Jin: "She is the god Focalors."

Jin spoke blandly as Neuvillette looked at him in surprise as he spoke. 

Neuvillette: "Focalors? But how can that be possible? Isn't Lady Furina-."

Jin cut off Neuvillette as he spoke. 

Jin: "Do you not sense it Neuvillette? The divinity that surrounds her? If I had to take a guess, she is the divinity of the Hydro Archon. That is Focalors. And Furina is her human half. A godly body without it's divinity."

Focalors clapped her hand in amusement as she smiled and spoke. 

Focalors: "Very perceptive of you Jin. As expected of an Archer."

Neuvillette: "Focalors... Why did you deceive us?" 

Focalors: "Oh that wasn't my goal of course. Goodness no! But I had to fool everyone else too, if I was going to stand any chance of deceiving."

Jin: "The Heavenly Principles am I correct?" 

Focalors just gave Jin a smile and nodded her head. 

Neuvillette: "Deceive the heavenly principles?!" 

Focalors: "It's all because of that Pernicious Prophecy. Dreadful wasn't it? Everyone doomed to dissolve. Fontaine condemned to be flodded?" 

Focalors frowned in annoyance as she continued. 

Focalors: "One was not amused. In fact, one was positively bemused. When that problem was thrust onto me by my previous predecessor- That being the previous Hydro Archon Egeria, for the uninitiated. It hardly gets any more disastrous than a preordained national catastrophe now does it?"

Jin hummed as he spoke drawing the attention of the Hydro Sovereign and the Hydro Archon. 

Jin: "But you should know as one of the Seven what it means to go against the heavenly principles. So how would you go about outwitting them? That is by allowing the prophecy to happen, ostensibly atleast. That way you can still save everyone."

Focalors: "That is correct. Did you have a different way of saving Fontaine? Afterall, I am genuinely curious how would you have defied the heavenly principles?" 

Archer: "By sticking a sword where it'll most sorely affect Celestia."

Focalors: "You've caught my attention. How did you plan on doing what you just said to them?" 

Jin: "By entering a contract with the hydro sovereign and in exchange for giving them what was stolen by the Heavenly Principles, he would forgive the sins of the Fontaine people."

Neuvillette: "And how did you plan on this going through?" 

Jin: "I have a weapon that can nullify all magical contracts and enchantments. With a single graze of that weapon on the Gnosis, I would effectively return that power to the Hydro Sovereign as the Gnosis is essentially a construct with enchantments to seal away the power they took from the Dragon Sovereigns and a contract with the Heavenly Principles in exchange for a boost in elemental power from their respective elemental Sovereign, and to give proof of the Heavenly Principles involvement with the world."

Focalors: "Goodness, but why didn't you do it earlier?" 

Jin: "I was hesitant to do it. Afraid of the backlash of the heavenly principles would bring more harm to the nation Furina so tiredly cares for. So I bided my time and waited to see when I would have to take the gamble and return the powers of the Hydro Sovereign. Because I've already made the contract with Iudex Neuvillette fifty years after I became Furina's servant. And it was alot more easier to do it back then because Iudex Neuvillette was still not as emotionally rational as he was now. Back then he despised the Heavenly Principles allowing me to get into a contract more easily than I would have now."

Focalors chuckled in amusement as she spoke. 

Focalors: "Truly. Your dedication and loyalty is astounding. Thank you for your plans. But there's no need. I will free Fontaine as its God. After all, it must have been my genius that made Egeria choose me as her successor.

Although looking back now, it's hardly the inheritance one dreams of. Between the task of saving the nation, the quotidian duties of the hydro Archon, and not to mention the original sin of creating a new race of humans. I dare say she left me quite a collosal mess to cleanup."

Focalors began pacing as she sighed and continued speaking. 

Focalors: "*Sigh* But one can only play the hands one is dealt. I did not choose this anymore than I chose to be one of her oceanid familiars."

Neuvillette: "So you were also one of the oceanids? Transformed into a human by the hands of Egeria." 

Focalors: "Yes. I was. I always dreamed of becoming human... And I still do even now. In my eye's to be human is to be a part of the greatest opera ever known."

Jin: "I'm assuming that you cursing Furina with eternal life was part of your plan to deceive the heavenly principle's am I correct? The last part of the prophecy was that the Hydro Archon would be all alone on her throne weeping over the death of her people. Since you had separated yourself, human and divinity, Furina was merely a human with a normal lifespan, so you cursed her to be immortal in the sense that as long as her divinity side never died, she too wouldn't be able to die, but never able to chase her own happiness as well. And that's why you had her become an actress. Taking on the role of the Hydro Archon that would weep at the ending of the prophecy. And all she needed to do was to play that role perfectly. To not get suspected of being a false Archon because it would ruin your plans."

Focalors: "One must admit, you are alot sharper than I credited you for. Indeed, for my plan to work, I needed Furina to take my place for the next Five Hundred years. But with her human lifespan, she wouldn't have made it. So I cursed her."

Neuvillette: "..." 

Focalors: "However, little did one expect that the infamous Archer would find his way to Furina. Because of your existence, though she was still forced to act like the lady of the opera house, she now had someone she could confide in. Someone she can trust to be there for her, someone who brought her happiness in her life of sorrow. Someone she could love."

Focalors word's although calm and surprised, still contained hints of envy and Jealousy as Jin spoke. 

Jin: "And I do not regret it. Furina suffered unlike the other Archons. For she was human forced to take the role of a God. Unlike the others who were God's in both Divinity and Body. And her pursuit, as self-defeating and futile it may be, is undeniably beautiful."

Focalors: "It is for that reason that the courtroom is named the Opera Epiclese."

Nuevillette: "But Furina is still a human at the end of the day. Even though she's had a long life, her minds no stronger than any other normal human being. I cannot begin to fathom just what she's had to endure... It must have been torture for her."

Focalors: "Normally that would've been so, but due to Jin being by her side, being there for her, she managed to power through it. However, that doesn't change the fact that I've wronged her, and that she deserves an apology. So thank you Jin. For being there for Furina in even her darkest time's."

Jin: "Your welcome. However, you must still apologise to her for what you've put her through."

Focalors: "...I will... After all, she's been playing her part in the most unimaginably long, lonely and agonisingly painful opera of all time."

Neuvillette: "So Furina also doesn't know the truth?" 

Focalors: "That's correct. It had to be done if I wanted to deceive the Heavenly Principles, I must first deceive myself. In fact, both herself and Jin did very well. Even with someone by her side, she didn't falter even once during these five centuries. And Jin was always there supporting her. For if her resolve had been broken even once during her five century rule, Fontaine would be doomed to the most Tragic fate. It's a good thing I decided to trust in "Humanity"."

Neuvillette: "I see. I believe I'm starting to understand how your deception works... But that is only half the truth is it not? How would you build upon this foundation to save the people of Fontaine."

Jin: "Through killing the God Of Justice."

Neuvillette: "I beg your pardon?" 

Jin: "The Oratrice was a device seemed to not be made for judgement, but instead was a device used to kill the God of justice. Not just the God themselves, but the divine throne on which she sat upon."

Focalors chuckled as she spoke. 

Focalors: "It seems like you've pieced everything together already Jin. Hehe, after all did you think I could enjoy a peaceful repose whilst Furina suffered?" 

Jin: "You've been collecting Indemnitium for the past five centuries, and only using the bare minimum to power Fontaine. All so you could enact this death sentence... Because only that much Indemnitium could have enough power to destroy the Divine Throne of the Hydro Archon and allow you to shake the rules established by Celestia. Destroying the institution that is the Seven."

Neuvillette: "So the Oratrice's call for death was neither for Furina nor Focalors, but rather The Hydro Archon."

Jin: "That's right. She plans to return to you what was stolen by Celestia. She wants to give the authority of the Hydro Archon to this planets Hydro Dragon Sovereign. She had planned for this it seems. That's why she made you the Iudex of Fontaine. Hoping that these five centuries of mingling with humanity will have soften your heart so that her sacrifice will have been worth something."

Neuvillette: ".... But... "

Focalors approached him as she spoke softly. 

Focalors: "What? Getting sad again are we?" 

Neuvillette: "So all that you've done over the years is just so you could sacrifice yourself?" 

The Iudex's words were full of sadness and sorrow as Focalors chuckled slightly and spoke. 

Focalors: "I've never quite seen it that way you know. Even now, I'm quite pleased with how well my deception worked. Hehe."

Tears were beginning to fall down Neuvillettes face as Focalors giggled and sang. 

Focalors: "Hydro Dragon, Hydro Dragon, don't cry."

She turned to look at Jin as she spoke. 

Focalors: "I must say, If at all possible I would've loved to have judged the Heavenly Principles themselves. We're they not essentially guilty of the same crime? Egeria stole the power of the Primordial sea, and the Heavenly Principles stole the powers the ancient dragons possessed. I for my part am the God of justice. Is it not just for me to return the original powers to their rightful owner's?"

Jin: "Focalors."

Focalors who had walked away slightly farther ahead from them stopped in her place as he looked at Jin curiously. 

Jin: "May I have the honours of one last dance with you?" 

Both Focalors and Neuvillette were surprised by Jin's word's as she spoke. 

Focalors: "One last dance you say?... I would actually like that. I Focalors would be honoured to have this final dance with you. But can you even dance in your condition?" 

Jin took her hand and slowly walked to the centre stage where she spoke. 

Focalors: "Ah. The hour of my execution is almost here. For the sinner, the curtain call has come. I know I may not sound it, but faced with death I find myself a little afraid. Perhaps this is one thing both God's and Humans share in common. Hehe, farewell Neuvillette, Jin. I hope you enjoyed the part you played these last several hundred year's."

Furina gave him a soft and gentle smile as Jin spoke. 

Jin: "I am more than capable of this dance my dear lady Focalors. No matter what happens, keep your eye's on me." 

Suddenly dozens upon dozens of blades manifested all around them with various runes engraved upon each blade capturing the attention of both Neuvillette and Focalors who tried to understand, but failed to decipher what language those runes were. But Focalors was brought out of her curiosity as Jin placed a hand on her waist and began moving guiding Focalors to follow his movement in the dance. 

Neuvillette looked on at the two dancing. Sadness filled his heart, and sorrow remained on his face as he realised that Focalors was going to die. However when he looked at the many swords littered he suddenly felt something different... It was worry... 

Neuvillett: "Is there something more to this dance that I'm just not understanding?"

[ᛇ᛫ᚫᛚᛚ᛫ᚢᛈᛟᚾ᛫ᛏᚺᛖ᛫ᛈᛟᚹᛖᚱ᛫ᛏᚺᚫᛏ᛫ᛖᛁᛊᛏᚫ᛫ᚹᛁᛏᚺᛁᚾ᛫ᛏᚺᛖ᛫ᛈᚱᛁᛗᛟᚱᛞᛁᚫᛚ᛫ᚱᚢᚾᛖᛊ᛬] 

(I call upon the power of the Primordial Runes.)

Neuvillett blinked in surprise as he heard Jin's voice chanting. 

[ᛊᛏᚱᛁᛈ᛫ᛏᚺᛁᛊ᛫ᛞᛁᚹᛁᚾᛖ᛫ᛒᛖᛁᚾᚷ᛫ᛟᚠ᛫ᚺᛖᚱ᛫ᚷᛟᛞᚺᛟᛟᛞ, ᚨᚾᛞ ᚷᚱᚨᚾᛏ ᛗᛖ ᚺᛖᚱ ᛞᛁᚹᛁᚾᛁᛏᛃ ᚨᚾᛞ ᛚᛖᛏ ᚺᛖᚱ ᛒᛖ ᚱᛖᛒᛟᚱᚾ ᚨ ᚺᚢᛗᚨᚾ.]

(Strip this divine being of her godhood, and grant me her divinity and let her be reborn a human.) 

Neuvillett: "Wait! Is he actually about to do what I think he's planning?!" 

[(ᛇ) Eᛁᚺᚹᚨᛉ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚱᚢᚾᛖ ᛏᚺᚨᛏ ᛋᛃᛗᛒᛟᛚᛁᛋᛖᛋ ᛞᛖᚨᛏᚺ, ᛏᚱᚨᚾᛋᚠᛟᚱᛗᚨᛏᛁᛟᚾ, ᚨᚾᛞ ᚢᚾᛞᛖᚱᛋᛏᚨᚾᛞᛁᚾᚷ. (ᛒ) Bᛖᚱᚲᚨᚾᚨ. Tᚺᛖ ᚱᚢᚾᛖ ᛏᚺᚨᛏ ᛋᛃᛗᛒᛟᛚᛁᛋᛖᛋ ᚾᛖᚹ ᛒᛖᚷᛁᚾᚾᛁᚾᚷᛋ, ᚱᛖᛒᛁᚱᛏᚺ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚱᛖᚾᛖᚹᚨᛚ.]

(Eihwaz, the rune that symbolises death, transformation and understanding. Berkana. The rune that symbolises new beginnings, rebirth and renewal.)

Neuvillette: "He's planning to strip the God Of Their Divinity, and become the Archon in their stead?!" 

As the two continue dancing, the runes across the many swords began glowing as Jin spoke whilst they continue their dance. 

Jin: "Forgive me for staining your outfit with my blood." 

Focalors looked bewildered at his words before she chuckled in amusement as she spoke joyfully. 

Focalors: "Your now just apologising? Never mind, could you explain what those sigils marked on your swords mean? Are you trying to pull something over my head?" 

Jin: "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. That's not the point."

Focalors: "Than what is the point?" 

Jin: "That you enjoy this last dance."

Focalors: "I see. Then are you fine if I asked you something?" 

As the two continued dancing around the empty courtroom, with the only witness being Neuvillett, Jin nodded his head as he motioned for her to ask her question. 

Focalors: "... W-Will you miss me when I die? Si-"

Focalors words were cut off as Jin answered unhesitatingly. 

Jin: "Of course I would. Without a doubt I would absolutely mourn your death."

Focalors: "Is it because I am Furina?" 

Jin: "Its because you are yourself. Both Focalors and Furina are one and the same. So as your servant, I would no doubt mourn the death of my master."

Tears were falling from Focalors eyes as they continued their dance. 

Focalors: "I've always envied Furina from the moment you became her servant. Her life became so much more brighter, so much more happier. And I was forced to watch in silence. Never being able to say or do what I wanted all for the sake of the plan." 

Jin: "Then my dear Archon, allow me to ease your envy. For this is goodbye... Forever."

Jin captured Focalors lips to which she reciprocated as Jin broke the kiss and Focalors spoke teasingly with tears of joy falling down her face. 

Focalors: "My~ What a sinful man you are Jin hehe. To steal the hearts of not just Furina, but myself as well. How do you think Furina will take the news?" 

Jin: "She'd be confused and frustrated because I technically kissed her."

Focalors chuckled, before she heard Jin spoke. 

Jin: "My lady, I will not ask for your forgiveness. All I ask is that you take care of Furina from now on. This is my punishment to you for what you've done to her. Since you said it yourself, you must apologise to her. And this will be my last gift to you my dear Archon. I gift you humanity."

Focalors froze as she looked into his calm and indifferent steel gray eye's as he spoke to Neuvillett. 

Jin: "Hydro Dragon Sovereign. No Monsieur Neuvillett. I leave you with my last request. Protect Focalors and Furina, Protect yourself, and Protect Fontaine."

Neuvillett reached out his hand before he retracted it as he heard Jin utter. 

Jin: "Goodbye Focalors and Furina."

Jin: "Begin" 

And at his command's, all the runes on the blades glowed as he gave Focalors another kiss catching her off guard before all she saw was a bright light as she felt herself completely stripped of her divinity, and instead she felt... Human!

She jumped from the ground she laid on gasping for air as she desperately looked around for Jin. But all she saw was the giant blade made of Indemnitium stabbed deep into the ground of the courtroom. She witnessed the many blades that Jin had created turning into motes of blue air and dissappearing. Her tears began streaming down her face as she yelled. 

Focalors: "JIN!" 

Nuevillette felt his heart aching in pain at not just Jin's sacrifice, but of Focalors expression of pain and the tears falling down her face as she approached the blade of Indemnitium. Then, beautiful bubbles of hydro energy came out the ground that surrounded the blade of Indemnitium as Nuevillette reached out his hand towards the bubble that all floated towards him as the powers of the Hydro Archon returned to the Hydro Dragon Sovereign who was the Power's original owner. 

The bubbles even reached Furina who upon taking notice of the bubbles surrounding her felt her heart ache, and tears began falling as she heard Jin's voice. 

(Jin: "Thank you lady Furina, for all that you've done. From this moment on, I want you and Focalors to live together as humans. As sister's. You both will no longer be one and the same, but instead twin sisters. Just as Focalors wished she could.") 

Furina sat alone on the throne, her heart ached with pain as she weeped and mourned the death of the man she loved. And at the same time that both Furina and Focalors cried and mourned Jin's death, a massive primordial aura of Hydro shot into the sky. And if one took a close enough look they'd notice it was Nuevillette who felt tears streaming down his face mixed with the water of the rain as he spoke. 

Nuevillette: "I. Iudex Neuvillette hereby declare. People of Fontaine, your sins are forgiven." 

A massive hydro formation appeared in the sky as a torrent of primordial water shot out of the formation and into the sky. And soon enough, these water began raining down into the nation of Hydro as Neuvillette remained stationary in the sky trying to calm himself from the emotions he feels. 

He returned to the courtroom where he witnessed Focalors still weeping as he spoke. 

Neuvillette: "It's best we take our leave. I sense trouble aprroaching back in the real world."

Focalors: "B-But Jin."

Neuvillette: "Wouldn't have wanted to see you like this. He told me to take care of both yourself and Furina. So please, come with me. We will hold a proper memorial for him once everything is over. And besides, this isn't the last you'll see of him. Do not forget that Jin has been cursed with endless reincarnation."

Focalors: "But it has always took him several hundred year's to several thousands before he went on to serve the next Archon! And everytime he died and went to serve a new Archon he would never remember the past Archons he had served! And now I'm human. I would be lucky to find him in a hundred years, but by then who would he be serving?"

Neuvillette: "I will do all in my power later on to help you and Furina find him. Who knows, maybe, just maybe after having served each of the Seven Archons, he will now be a free man."

Focalors said nothing but silently got up and followed Neuvillette who placed his hand on her shoulder as the two dissappeard from the alternate space of the courtroom and returned to the original courtroom shocking everyone who merely witnessed him closing his eyes before reopening them, and next to him was Furina? 

Paimon: "Traveller! Paimon thinks she's going crazy. But, is there two lady Furinas?!" 

Neuvillette intervened in the conversation as he spoke. 

Neuvillette: "Now is not the time. Something is approaching the courtroom."

And at the end of his words, the courtroom began shaking as though it was being struck by an earthquake as the people of Fontaine panicked and began running out of the courtroom as a massive hole in the middle of the space of the courthouse appeared, and out of it came a massive Narwhal that raced towards Neuvillet as it prepared to devour him.

Neuvillet: "The all devouring Narhwal? Begone from my sights." 

With a wave of his hand a massive torrent of Hydro energy shot at the Narwhal that groaned in pain as it tried retreating and instead went on to try devouring the humans that were running away instead. However, a streak of purple lightning came flying out of the portal the Narwhal came from and struck the Narwhal away from the crowd of people as Neuvillett narrowed his eyes as he thought. 

Neuvillett: 'The harbinger Tartaglia?' 

Neuvillett shot another torrent of Hydro energy as it pushed the Narhwal closer to the portal it came out of as Tartaglia attacked it sending it flying back into the portal as he stood in the air huffing and trying to catch his breath as everyone witnessed him in his foul legacy mode as he gave Neuvillett a thumbs down before diving back into the portal chasing after the Narwhal. 

Neuvillett: "Aether. You come with me to defeat that Narhwal. The rest of you prepare for rescuing the people of Fontaine. And Focalors... Rest up for now. You have alot to deal with later on."

And soon enough both Neuvillett alongside Aether and Paimon jumped into the portal as the others watched them dissappear. 

-(Scene Break!)-

(3rd Person Pov) 

After finishing having defeated the All Devouring Narhwal, Neuvillett was beginning to extract the essence of the Primordial sea from the Narhwal, it was suddenly turned into a jewel as an unknown women with white hair and red eyes entered as she grasped the jeweled Narwhal before throwing it into the portal she came out of alongside Tartaglia as she dusted her hands and spoke. 

???: "Thanks for doing the "cleanup". It should have been my job but... Oh well."

She looked irritated and annoyed more than anything else as she muttered to herself. 

???: "It should have been a short training session. I never expected my disciple would end up fighting my masters pet. No, I should have expected this already, it just happened alot sooner than I expected. I guess I'll have to swing my sword three million times in penance."

Neuvillett: "That power. Who are you?" 

Paimon: "Paimon has a pretty good idea of who she is. She must be Childes master Skirk. Although, Paimon expected her to be alot more silent based on what Childe told us about her."

Skirk: "That's because I don't talk to the weak. However, you proved that you aren't weak by defeating the All Devouring Narhwal without the use of powers from "Beyond This World". So I will allow you to speak to me as an equal."

Neuvillett: "I see. If you don't mind me asking, who is your master that they'd consider such a creature like the All Devouring Narwhal as a pet?" 

Skirk: "His name is Surtologi."

Neivillette: "Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with that name."

Skirk put on a pondering expression with her hand on her chin as she spoke. 

Skirk: "Huh. It seems like master is insufficiently famous. Hrrm, how should I describe him then... Have you heard of the name..."The Foul?""

Neuvillette: "The Foul you say?" 

Neuvillette searched through his memories, but alas nobody with the name of "The Foul" exists amongst those he's met. 

Skirk realised that none of the three knew the name she just gave, so she gave a different one instead. 

Skirk: "Still nothing? Then how about "The Visionary." Vedrfolnir then? Or "Gold." Rhinedottir?"

Paimon: "Oh! That one we've heard! Rhinedottir's part of the Hexenzirkel- She's Albedo's mom right?" 

Skirk: "Ah so you do know that name. To be honest, I also heard all those names and title's from my master. But I don't know them either. But now I suppose you understand yes? My master is similar to Rhinedottir- They're both "Pursuing some form of Perfection""

Paimon: "Wait, didn't you also mention a... "Visionary" person? Paimon didn't quite catch their name."

Skirk: "Actually, never mind that. I believe it expident to inform you. That the All Devouring Narhwal used up all it's strength fighting you. Such roiling Hydro energies will prove difficult for the planets deep seas to digest. As such, the Fontaine back on the surface has most likely been thrown into chaos. In other words, the prophecy that you have been fretting over should now be in full swing."

Paimon exclaimed in shock. 

Paimon: "What?!" 

Aether: "...There's little to be surprised about Paimon." 

Aether: 'It is natural afterall. The prophecy will surely cone true. We knew this... And accepted it. However...' 

Neuvillette then spoke. 

Neuvillette: "Not to worry. Archer... He's managed to fool Celestia and the Heavenly Principles."

-(Scene Break)-

(3rd Person Pov) 

{In the end, all the people of Fontaine will be dissolved into the waters. And Furina will remain alone, weeping on her throne.}

(The scene of Furina weeping on her throne as the entirety of Fontaine is flodded with Primordial Sea Water.)

Furina: 'Jin. The people of Fontaine still ended up being dissolved into the water's, and Fontaine has been flodded with the Primordial sea water.'

{Only then, will the sins of the people of Fontaine be washed away.}

Yet unaware to Furina, outside of Fontaine several people burst out of the ocean water gasping for air as they noticed a boat approaching them as they yelled. 

Fontainian 1: "Hey! Over here!" 

On one of the boats, was Navia and Focalors who took notice of the people in the ocean as the boat began heading towards their direction. Navia turned to look at Focalors who looked genuinely happy but sad as well as she spoke. 

Navia: "Lady Focalors, I must ask you to wait inside the ship for now. I don't think it's wise to allow the people of Fontaine to see you just yet."

Focalors merely nodded her head before walking to the inside of the boat as Navia helped the people to get onto the ship as all around her multiple ships appeared and began heading to rescue anyone they could find.

And then the ocean shook as Navia looked on in shock at the sight of a massive flying ship appearing out if the water as she saw the Duke of the Fortress Of Meropide look on overboard as he yelled out order's. 

Wriothesly: "All hands iniate emergency rescue!" 

The Duke then rushed off to another part of the ship as the sides of the ship opened up to reveal multiple claw like gadgets that lowered itself into the water for the people of Fontaine to grab onto to bring them aboard the ship.

And meanwhile under the sea, the children of the house of the hearth Lyney, Lynett and Freminet all helped the people underwater to reach the surface faster. And on the edge of one of the nearby islands, Clorinde the Champion Duelist of Fontaine was busy taking care of the people when she heard one of them yelled in excitement. 

Fontainian 2: "Look! The water's receding!" 

The words eahed Clorinde's ears as she rushed to the edge where she witnessed the increadible scene of the water levels beginning to receed at an increadibly fast rate. It was so fast, that several of Fontaine's people had already begin walking on land as they exclaimed in joy and happiness. 

Fontainian 3: "We didn't dissolve! The prophecy was wrong! The prophecy was wrong!" 

Meanwhile at the Opera Epiclese, Furina who was sitting on her throne weeping froze as she heard the sounds of her people outside the courtroom. She was surprised as she witnessed the water that flodded Fontaine drain away at increadible speed's as she began hesitantly walking to the outside of the courtroom. 

(Step) (Step) (Step) 

Furina slowly made her way outside of the courtroom where to her shock, all the people of Fontaine still remained. She practically ran towards the front of the Opera Epiclese as she watched her people laugh and cry in joy and relief. Placing her hand on her chest in disbelief she muttered. 

Furina: "T-The prophecy was wrong?" 

But when Furina remembered the voice of Jin she suddenly realised that the prophecy wasn't wrong, but that he had done something to free the people of Fontaine as tears began streaming down her face. Furina lifted her hand as the light of the sun cascaded onto the entirety of Fontaine before she pulled her hand away from her face and allowed the light of the sun to illuminate her as she swore she saw the spirit of Jin bowing to her as he spoke. 

Jin's Spirit: "Through me, your desire has been fulfilled... Through you, my wish has been fulfilled as well. To see just how you will shape the future. And to see you finally be free of the curse that has caused you so much suffering. And now, you will have a twin sister to be there for you as you will be for her. Take care of each other, and may we one day meet once more my dear Furina/Focalors."

-(Scene Break!)-

(3rd Person Pov) 

Somewhere within a forest in Teyvat laid an unconscious man with white hair and tanned skin. His breathing was controlled and he looked to be without any wounds. But how long has the man been unconscious is something no one knows. Suddenly, the bushes near him rattled slightly as someone appeared out if it. 

Out of the bushes was a beautiful young girl with short, lilac hair styled in a braid above her forehead and light green eyes. Her headpiece is white and gold and resembles a crown with a pair of roses at both sides by the ends. Her dress resembles a suit of armor and matches her headpiece. It had long black sleeves with pleats around the shoulder on her left one and a piece of metal on the right one. It has a large piece of pleated magenta fabric at the collar and a black skirt with a magenta layer underneath lined in white trimming and an apron above it. She wears a black belt with a gold shield-like piece of metal at the left adorned by a magenta bow.

???: "Oh my? An unconscious man? He doesn't look wounded, is he sleeping?" 

The young girl poked the man several times, and with no reaction, she frowned as she spoke to herself. 

???: "It seems like he won't be waking up soon. I should bring him back to Mondstadt. Resting here is dangerous after all. Don't worry mister, I Noelle aspiring Knight Of Favonious will help you in your endeavours!" 

The young girl Noelle carefully placed the man on her back as she rushed back to Mondstadt. Unaware of the chaos he's soon to bring from the Six Archons and Two "Former" Archons.

-(Scene End!)-

This took me an entire day, and three hours after I woke up to finish.
