“To Love Is To Heal” A Mystic Messenger Fanfic

🐾 Written for ‘Her Majesty’ @bycmykae!

Saeran had always been fascinated by cats.

Despite the circumstances surrounding his childhood home life, as well as the complex relationship he developed with Rika later down the line, taking care of felines resonated with him as a positive constant, even after sorting through all his trauma over counseling.

So when his therapist recommended he adopt a pet to help aid in his journey to recovery, a cat seemed like the most logical option.

Before he knows it, he's being dragged into a play date with none other than the RFA's personal mascot: Elizabeth the 3rd!

Wriothesley & Andrius 🐺 Domination of Equal Ground

Written for the Genshin Puppy Love zine ran by @bycmykae.

Wriothesley ran his hand along the edges of the Wolf’s Gravestone that stood firmly jammed into the stone floor. It felt bitterly cold and stung his fingers with a chill through his gloves, despite Mondstadt currently in the height of the spring season. From what he had assumed through word of mouth, the Dominator of Wolves was supposed to rest here, in this very perilous, frozen arena.

Perhaps their definition of rest was a bit different than he had initially assumed. The wolves roamed with much ferociousness and liveliness throughout the forest, so Wriothesley had assumed that Andrius was still rather lively, albeit conserving his power. Much to his disappointment, the only traces of the great wolf in question were a chilling breeze lingering in the air and the thin layer of frost that coated the surrounding stone.

He crossed his arms and kicked up some of the frost. It’s not like he was demanding Adrius to accompany him back to Fontaine. Wriothesley simply desired to spar, share guidance, anything to make his trip worthwhile. The only thing he got in return was bitter silence and biting frost. All that he would have to show for his journey would be some scavenged wolfhook berries and perhaps a discarded fang from a common wolf, if he were lucky to find one.

He couldn’t help but be disappointed. Sure, results of this trek were far from guaranteed, but he was rather irked at the rumors for seemingly being nothing more than a sensational falsehood.

In the midst of his silent grumbling, he had failed to notice the gravestone behind him fade into the chilling breeze. But with no clear sign of Andrius being willing to show himself, exiting the arena seemed like the only reasonable course of action for him to take. He could seek further advice from the Mondstadt natives, but what were the odds that they too, were just as in the dark about Andrius as Wriothesley was? And if the Dominator of Wolves truly was nothing more than a fairy tale, then he would risk being laughed out of the region for his sheer naivety.

Sighing out of disappointment, Wriothesley ultimately made the decision to make his way out of the arena, where he was stopped cold in his tracks by the sound of footsteps approaching from behind. Massive footsteps, if that. He turned his head and was greeted by the sight of a massive, fluffy, white and blue wolf staring down upon him.

"You are not from around here, I presume?" the wolf bellowed.

"Ha, what gave you the hint? My clothes? Or perhaps my vision?" Wriothesley said, turning his body around and holding out his arms

"You reek of outsider. Commendable, however, seeing as your journey appears to have been no simple feat.”

"Eh. It was nothing. I came here with one simple goal in mind.”

The giant wolf tilted his head in curiosity.

“I have come in search of Andrius. You seem like the type to know a thing or two.”

"Come to the right place you have, weary traveler," he said, with what could be argued as a smile on his face.

A smile appeared on Wriothesley’s face in return. "Perfection."

"What is it you seek from me?" Andrius said, staring down Wriothesley even fiercer than before. “Speak.”

"A friendly confrontation, between one wolf and another. I came here seeking a challenge, and I don’t plan on returning to Fontaine empty handed.”

Andrius narrowed his eyes. "With the body of a man, you claim to be a wolf. How is this one supposed to take your kind seriously?"

"Do you want me to howl?" Wriothesley taunted. "Show me what you’re made of and I’ll give you a few good reasons to show a little respect."

Andrius braced himself and snarled at Wriothesley. “Do not order me around, human.”

“What? Too afraid to fight me?”

“Fine,” Andrius said, huffing and shaking his head. “If it is a fight that you seek with me, then a fight you shall get. Do not let me down in return, for the repercussions of disappointment will be worse than you can fathom.”

“Hey, you aren’t the one who had to come all the way from Fontaine for a duel,” Wriothesley said, bracing his metal gloves. “I expect to be the one not disappointed here.”

Without wasting further time on pointless talk, Andrius pounced towards Wriothesley. With years of experience as a honed fighter behind him, he deflected the force of his claws effortlessly, sending Andrius flying back. Andrius gracefully landed on all fours, and wasted no time charging forth once more. Though Wriothesley was rather swift on his feet, Andrius was quite the imposing beast, and dodging his attacks regardless proved to be no easy feat.

A quick swipe of his tail was practically nothing to Wriothesley, as he simply deflected it with the force of his metal gauntlets and counterattacked with a few punches of his own. Andrius’s fur was mighty thick, and it was probable that he hardly felt the impact. His punches were shaken off, and Wriothesley concluded his onslaught by smashing the ground with his fist, shattering the stone around him.

For as many blows that were exchanged, neither of them managed to inflict a single scratch.

In the brief moment that Wriothesley spent recovering from the strike, Andrius seized the opportunity to charge forth. Once again, his efforts were in vain as Wriothesley rolled beneath him, flung to his feet, and leaped forward to land a strike on his side. Andrius, his body physically knocked to the side from the impact of the blow, seemed completely unscathed.

Physical confrontation was hardly having an impact on either, they quickly realized. With a mighty howl summoning wolf spirits and the glow of the Cryo Vision, the full force of the elements was at their command. The small wolves that charged up to Wriothesley in an attempt to sink their icy fangs into him were met with the heel of his boots, disintegrating into Cryo dust.

A few punches infused with Cryo energy were nothing to Andrius as his fur once more absorbed the impact. His punches were countered with dropping icicles, but Wriothesley deflected them, shattering them to bits. Not one moment did either hold back, and not a scratch could be dealt to either of them. Talk was pointless, as all that they needed to communicate their undying will was split-second eye contact in between missed strikes and deflected onslaughts.

A swinging paw and dropping icicle was nothing to Wriothesley, though, he had to admit that Andrius was quite the force to be reckoned with. One strike after another, the Dominator of Wolves refused to let him breathe, and Wriothesley could feel the strength slowly draining from his body. He wondered how much longer he could hold his own. With his honor at stake, he wasn’t willing to let his body give out so easily, but one chip off of his metal gauntlets at just the right angle could have him down and out.

Andrius, though a great spirit, was starting to tire himself as well. Wriothesley had proven far more formidable than he initially thought, and as a result of not holding back, his power was draining rather quickly. Even with the full force of immensely concentrated Cryo energy, Wriothesley was not budging an inch. If it weren’t for either of them having yet to be harmed, Andrius’s fading power would have caused the old soul to call the fight right then and there.

Though their strength was deteriorating, both of them felt it to be disrespectful to kneel down in defeat, and continued throwing punches even to the point that their coordination deteriorated. With Wriothesley clearly struggling to throw a punch, and Andrius unable to maintain the bitter freeze, the great wolf spirit commanded him to stop.

“Giving up now, tough guy?” Wriothesley said, panting heavily.

Andris shook his head. “Outsider…you have proven yourself to be a most worthy challenger. For as much as our claws have clashed, neither of us had sustained an injury other than the exhaustion from holding up our own pride.”

“Ha, in that case, I will admit, you threw me for a fast one there. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to keep up.”

“You have managed to stand on grounds equal to me. For that, you have my utmost respect, outsider.”

“You aren’t too bad yourself. And for the record, it’s Wriothesley. Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.”

“A title most deserved,” Andris said, before turning around and walking towards the back of the arena, fading into the icy mist.

By the time the mist had faded, no traces of Andrius remained. It was a relief to Wriothesley, meaning that he could could collapse onto the ground and take a much-needed breath after sustaining such heavy blows from a legendary spirit. Out of the corner of his eye, he had noticed a strange, cone-like crystal laying on the ground similar to those that adorned Andrius’s neck. It didn’t seem plausible that it was something that he had knocked off during the fight. Was this some sort of parting gift? A sign of mutual respect, perhaps?

He picked it up and stashed it safely in his pocket. It was a better souvenir to bring back to Fontaine than any amount of woofhook berries; that much was obvious.
