WARNING • BIG FONTAINE 4.2 ARCHON QUEST SPOILERS.

the knowledge of your divine arrival within teyvat was information that had been circling around fontaine for some time now, and it was stressing furina out beyond belief.

what if you found out? did you already know? was she going to fail her centuries long promise to the true archon of hydro all because of your everlasting wisdom that extended the capabilities of lesser lord kusanali!? what if you exposed her to the heavenly principals?!

and so, furina cried to herself in her bedroom, wishing more then ever that this longing to reach out for somebody’s hand, anybody’s hand.

and yet, no hand awaited her. only a ball and chain dragging her into the depths of the ocean by her ankle.

as she cried to herself, she pondered. would someone ever truly save her? would there be a day that she could confide in somebody and not allow it to have consequences? absolutely not, this burden is hers and hers alone.

furina refuses to allow anyone to be dragged down with her.

travelling around teyvat and witnessing all that your little creations had made was truly eye opening. you loved all of the humans, flora, fauna and entities that you had hand-crafted ever so carefully to your liking.

currently residing in sumeru after your recent travels to inazuma, you were having a rather pleasant conversation with the archon of dendro, as well as the wanderer. nothing much of importance was said, it was mainly just a giddy and lighthearted chat. these two were the more comfortable around you, with most feeling as though they should bow to you when in your presence. nahida and the wanderer were different though, one knew that you were a gentle being who only wanted to positively interact with the people around you. the other, being someone who denounced the gods altogether, however has an exception list with yours and nahida’s name at the top.

“what are your plans for the next nation, your grace? you are yet to travel to snezhnaya, natlan & fontaine. i can tell the people of snezhnaya are getting impatient, you know how devoted the harbingers in particular are to you.” nahida questions. the wanderer only looks over at you with interest, adding a little ‘mhm’ to the part of the harbingers. he knew you knew of his backstory, being an all knowing divine being, and so he was very comfortable discussing topics of his past in your company.

“hmm..” you pondered to yourself. your instincts were telling you to get snezhnaya over and done with, but something was also telling you that you wouldn’t be able to leave the country for longer then you would originally plan for should you go.

“i think.. fontaine would make a good next stop. it’s neighbouring sumeru, yes? plus i quite look forward to observing the machinery and buildings up close”. you respond. nahida offers a warm smile and the wanderer continues to drink his tea.

“WHAT” furina’s screech tore through the walls of the opera epiclese, the colour in her face draining. neuvilette only shuts his eyes and repeats himself.

“we have received a letter, miss furina. the alightly creator wishes to travel to fontaine and would love to meet you in person, this is an honour of the highest order, is it not?” he relays to the hydro archon who is currently on the floor, her arms covering her face as she contemplates everythign she’s ever done up until this point.

“B-BUT” furina stammers out in a hurry, her typical diva persona no longer residing on her person.

“WHAT ANOUT SNEZHNAYA? SHOULD THEY NOT WANT TO GO THERE FIRST? i-i’m sure the harbingers are DYINGGGG to meet them!” her words spitting from her mouth, as if they’re running a marathon of their own.

“…” neuvilette only glares at furina, the girl shrinking into herself. she may be the ‘hydro archon’ , however neuvilette’s displeased expression could have the geo archon trembling in his boots.

“OH FINE. send them a letter saying i accept”. she says in a grumpy tone, hurriedly running to her dormitory.

neuvilette only sighs to himself, ‘why must she be such a difficult godess?’ he eventually walks back to his desk, writing a letter of acceptance and posting it back to sumeru.

“just what are you so worried about, furina?” the dragon can only ponder to himself.

it would only take a prophecy for him to find out.

entering the gates of fontaine, your eyes marvel at the sights around you. ladies in exquisite dresses and fancy headwear. the men dressed to the nines, even the dogs had their own special armour! you wandered around, greeting the children who were naturally attracted to your aura.

people smiled and bowed/curtsied wherever you went, and you only smiled and waved back.

you had a mission in mind.

operation: meet furina.

you knew of her current predicament, and could only assume that the knowledge of your presence in fontaine would stress her beyond belief. you subconsciously knew that she thought you would expose her for all to see, deeming her a fake upon the gods and the heavenly principles and would have her exiled. you had to make sure she knew that you’d never even consider making her pay for a sin she has not committed.

and so, your quest to find the so-called hydro archon continued.

“neuvilette PLEASE tell me you’ve found her.” you beg dramatically, the dragon before you only chuckles to himself at your struggle. while you may be an omnipotent and all knowing deity in your natural state, you had to suppress your powers in order to descend as to not cause imbalance in the world. therefore, you couldn’t quite locate her. :(

i’m sure she’s going to turn up eventually, your excellency. she knows that she can not hide from you forever”. he responds.

and just as he says those words, the figure of a young woman runs past you so quickly that you only manage to make out her obnoxiously fancy hat falling off the top of her head, making her stop abruptly.

smiling to yourself, you realise that teyvat heeded your wish to meet with her and had lead her into your presence. being a god beloved by the citizens AND elements comes in handy!

“i think you dropped this, miss furina”. you pick up her hat, her face put the snow on dragonspine to shame. you can feel her shaking, fear pooling into her body.

“how about we have a conversation? let’s meet up at the opera epiclese and have some cake”. you do your best to give her a warm and welcoming smile, however furina only nods her head, no sign of her flamboyant character. only a scared little girl in fear of her century long promise to foçalors benign broken and her faith to you being mistaken as unloyal. furina had nothing but admiration for you, feeling as though your guidance had lead her this far. it was only her overwhelmed human mind that was telling her:

“this will shake the divine one’s faith in your loyalty.” “this must look as though you’re mocking foçalors to the all mighty god” “you’re pathetic if you think that they can’t see through you”.

these irrational thoughts filled her head as you are your cake in an awkward and tension filled silence.

you wanted desperately to comfort her, but before you could get in a word, tear drops managed to slip from furina’s eyes.

and before you knew it, she was a sobbing mess on the floor, with apologies flying through the air on repeat, as if her voice was a broken record.

your heart broke at the sight of one of your most beloved creations breaking down before you. and so, like any good god would, you gently brought her into your arms.

“it’s okay furina, i know of your situation. you don’t need to fear, the heavenly principals will never know of this encounter for as long as i’m around. let down your guard, there is no need to pretend to be foçalors when you’re alone with me, my dear.”

your words had her sobbing harder and harder into your embrace.

“i-it’s so lonely your grace!” sue cries out, and you only hold her head closer to your shoulder, her grip tightening on your clothes. “for so long, i felt as though i had nobody to confide in. i was so scared! i couldn’t tell anybody no no no! i couldn’t let the heavenly principals find out about my deal with her”. furina’s voice cracks in between sentences.

rubbing circles into her shoulder, you rock her back and fourth on the ground of the tearoom. feeling the sun finally set, you pick her up and carry her back to her dormitory. her face hidden completely within your shoulder.

taking her to the bedroom, you put her down as she lets you go. sitting next to her, she lays her head on your shoulder and you sit there for what feels like years.

she tells you of her fears, her troubles and you listen. you acknowledge everything she’s done for fontaine and you remind her the entire night that she is beyond worthy of being a real god. no normal person could keep up the act of a good especially for 500 years, however furina has done it without detection and you made sure she knows just how proud of her. you tell her that no matter what, you’ll be there for her whenever she needed you.

that night, furina unleased centuries worth of trauma and fears. that night, furina felt just as though her ball and chain had loosened ever so slightly. that night, furina made a true connection.

that night, furina made a true friend.
