    Summary

    “What the fuck, Aether? What is this?”

    When Lumine awakes, it is the year 500 AE, or Aetherean Era. The world of Teyvat has changed beyond all recognition; the entire realm is under the direct sovereignty of Chāoyuè Xīngchén, or Transcending Star. In passing, the common folk refer to him as His Transcendence, speaking in hushed tones that almost pass for reverence.

    But Lumine knows better. It’s fear.

    Aether narrowed his eyes, the lovely honey in them hardening to freezing gold. “This? This is my destiny, Lumine.”

    When she finds out who the Chāoyuè Xīngchén truly is, her world is thrown into turmoil and confusion. Aether. Her beloved brother. Aether, who held her hand as they escaped the burning hellfire of their homeworld. Aether, who took care of things. Aether.

    “I can’t allow this to continue, Your Transcendence,” Lumine spat out, wiping sweat from her forehead and raising her blade, the blade sparkling in the stark light, blood falling from the tip like tears.

    “So be it, sister,” Aether said grimly, summoning his blade in a flash of smattering light.

    Descensus averno- the descent to hell is easy. The crawl out, needless to say, is not.
