"Where are you going, wanderer?"
|
|
The roving youth was stopped by a child's shout.
|
|
That was a child of a Tatarasuna crafts-person, and while he was ill, his eyes were still clear.
|
|
The youth told the child that he was bound for Inazuma City.
|
|
"But it's raining really hard right now. They say that the people who left haven't returned!"
|
|
The youth opened and closed his mouth a few times... But at last could only give the child a small smile.
|
|
The next time he set foot upon that island, that child was nowhere to be found.
|
|
|
|
"Where are you going, Inazuman? This boat is not for you!"
|
|
The wandering young man was halted at the harbor by a boatman.
|
|
But before the youth could draw his blade, a man in his company stopped him.
|
|
The man told the mariner that the outlander youth was with him.
|
|
"Ah, so he's your guest, sir? My apologies for my presumption."
|
|
The man gave the youth a coat to keep the cold out, but the youth shook his head.
|
|
He had no need of such things — he only wished to know what interesting things he might find on this long journey.
|
|
|
|
"Lord Harbinger. Where are you headed?"
|
|
The youth, hating chatty humans the most, gave his subordinate a backhand slap.
|
|
But he also loved watching expressions of terror and helplessness play across human faces,
|
|
And it was perhaps precisely because of this imbecilic underling's expressiveness that he had kept them around.
|
|
He told the groveling, quailing figure that they were headed east, for Mondstadt.
|
|
"I understand! I'll get your bodyguards ready right now!"
|
|
He had no need of guards, of course, but he was lazier still to barter words with cretins.
|
|
Donning his wanderer's hat, he headed eastward alone.
|
|
|
|
"Child, where are you going?"
|
|
Returning home, the youth was stopped at the roadside by an old woman.
|
|
He told her that he was going west.
|
|
"To Yashiori Island, then? What business are you on?"
|
|
She had said this thoughtlessly, knowing only that things had not been peaceful of late.
|
|
The youth thanked her for her concern with earnest smile and told her that he was bound for an appointed meeting.
|
|
As the boat gradually approached the shore, a lady in foreign garb could be seen standing by the shoreline,
|
|
And she threw a small crystal sphere at the youth from afar.
|
|
Catching it with ease, he lifted it up to the dying, bloodied sun. |
