#hnngnggg genshin lore is so INTERESTING

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

Foul Legacy, from the depths of the Abyss, and you, descended from Khaenri'ah's Crimson Moon dynasty. there's fire in your veins, hands burned agonizing charcoal black- you refuse to touch anything but your own skin, out of fear that you'll end up surrounded by destruction and carnage. if you breathe carefully, you can keep the raging flames to a mere flicker, but any stress or worry makes them flare and spark, your hands searing with pain and footsteps leaving charred marks in the grass. you don't want to destroy- you don't want to hurt anyone- so you keep silent, withdrawing from people and walking alone. your only respite is pure water, where the fire cools and you're left in relative, fleeting peace.

it's not surprising when the Abyss finds you. it seems to find all remnants of Khaenri'ah, creeping up and consuming them whole... but the Abyss finds you not in the form of an endless void, but as a monster- a friendly, curious monster with crimson horns and twilight armor. he tilts his head when he meets you, walking a few circles around you and delicately poking at your features, taking a few steps back when you flinch. his crystalline gaze trails down to your hands, tiny flickers of fire running over your fingertips, and without hesitation the beast waves his claws, a tiny narwhal made of water floating over and landing on your skin with a soft blooping sound. it soothes the flames, the pain slowly fading into a dull pulse, and the creature lets out a happy trill at the sight of your wide eyes.

you, the Heir to the Throne of the Crimson Moon, and Foul Legacy, your loyal Abyssal monster.
