#Verse 01 - Guardian of Freedom - Genshin Impact (Main Verse)

@frozcnlight - {x} ((Since Tumblr decided to fking explode >:O))
The silence was a little heavy, but conserving his energy had to come first and though he was just resting there in the side of her neck, his mind was racing, taking in everything around them, thinking on ways in which he could delay things without causing Miran to get into too much trouble - though that seemed next to impossible given what was about to happen.
With a small squeak, he’d hide when the servant had walked into the room, glancing towards the open window as she spoke. So the situation here was getting worse? Maybe Morax was right then, when he said his ‘death’ would only speed up Baal’s activities. But he couldn’t quite grasp what it was that she was looking to achieve. Was the idea of eternity worth all this fighting? All this pain? Well, he wasn’t here to start a war, just get back that which he’d placed under his protection.
Remaining silent, Venti shifted slightly as the servant left. Judging by what she’d said, Miran’s parents were quite aware of the strain being placed on their daughter's mind - and yet were simply choosing to ignore such consequences. It made him wonder about Strelitzia. It had been the desire to help her siblings that had awoken her own vision, so how must she be now? Did she still care for those that she once spoke the world of?
As the servant left, he dug his way out from his hiding spot, flying up to land on the top of Miran’s hair, at the carefully placed pins and clips keeping the blonde strands carefully in place, showing off her beauty to the world - and well he was here to ruin all that hard work that the servants had put into making her even prettier than normal. With a small chirp as an apology, tiny little hands clasped hold of one of the pins, the wisp wriggling as he struggled to pull it free, using the breeze in the room to mess up her hair just that little more, tossing the clips and pins he managed to removed to the floor. He’d need to make this up to Miran once all this was over with - for now all he could do was hope she wouldn’t face too much wrath for his actions ~

@frozcnhearts​ asked:
please talk to me. { Aether to Abyss-Lumine }
miscellaneous angst starters.
How could he have known that she’d have this amount of power? Even without his Gnosis, he’d been sure that he would manage to fight her off enough to at least have enough time to break whatever type of ritual it was that was being performed on the statue behind her. He’d simply wished to deal with this issue on his own, to not drag others into a fight that wasn’t theirs - to avoid Aether from having to witness a side to his sister that he wouldn’t like.
But she was much stronger than expected, darkness wrapping around him despite the wind that he used as a barrier, slowly being pushed back towards the half destroyed statue, it’s dark energy already making him feel rather ill even though he wasn’t even touching it yet. Had he really just fallen into a trap? Maybe he was a dumb as he acted at times. “Lumine! Just listen...you...you don’t have the full story...”, not like he could tell it even if he wanted to, the dark wind pushing against his own, the girl obviously rather set on shoving him back into the dark energy that now licked at his back. He didn’t want to hurt her. She was Aether’s sister, she was someone dear to one of his dearest friends...but if he didn’t act soon then -
“I’m sorry...”, eyes closed as he concentrated on the slight winds that resided this deep within the domain, ends of his hair glowing as he channelled the surrounding energy, the gust of wind blocked by the girl’s sword, but the following arrows hit into their target - both Lumine and Venti falling to the ground, the bard freezing as he heard the nearby voice of Aether, unable to move as Lumine took one of the arrows and stabbed the end rather close to her heart. He’d aimed for non-lethal areas on purpose! Why was she...
Tumblr media
“A...aether”, she weakly called out his name, crawling towards her twin, blood soaking the front of her dress as she fell into his arms, Venti unable to do anything but to watch the show with wide eyes. What could he say? He knew what this looked like...he knew what she was spinning this entire story to be. In attempting to protect a friend he may have just gained a new enemy.
“...I’m glad...you came...I wasn’t sure...”, Lumine closed her eyes, weakly coughing, “i’ve missed you brother...”

@wolfkcst​ asked:
"Care to play a few songs, bard?" The warrior asks, offering some mora out with their calloused hand. -Venti 
Random Asks - Always Welcomed!
Tumblr media
“Well, how can I refuse such a generous offering?”, he hummed softly as he made his wooden lyre appear in his gasp, nimble fingers lightly dancing across the strings, eyes slowly closing as he tried to think of a song in which to sing.
Let me sing of a tale That stretches through the ages, A story of a warrior that fights in the night Against the sins of the demons blight
Softly, he hummed a tune as he sang a tale about one of the many battles that Xiao had shared with him over the years, a few small animals and birds starting to group around him as his tale was woven.

" i'm sorry. ", the young woman muttered, after her sword appeared in her hand. The blade glistening dangerously in the sun’s light, “ but i have to do this. “ { Taru to Venti c:< }
emotional prompts.
“W-what!?”
Tumblr media
Lucky enough he’d stopped soon enough for there to still be some space between them, his mind quickly thinking over the events of the night before, trying to remember if he’d done something that could have made anyone, other than Diluc, mad enough to threaten his life like this in the middle of the day. This might be one of the quieter parts of the city but didn’t this woman worry about being caught off the patrolling Knights? “I don’t know what I have done to upset you Miss - but it’s dangerous to be throwing such a weapon around like that!”, a few steps were taken back, the apple he’d been eating now tucked away inside his tunic as he held up his hands with a weak laugh, “Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong? I’m sure we can come to a better agreement than this”. 
Not once did it cross his mind that he may have been under attach because of who he was, because of the Archon that he’d once been. People weren’t supposed to know who he was, after all, who would think that someone like him was actually a God?

❛  17 .   a  kiss  last  thing  at  night . (aaaaaaaaaand XIAOVEN!!!!)

Tumblr media
Let me tell a story About one who fights but not for glory, He who fights with the demons of this land And makes but one demand, Never forget those to have fallen, The memories shall never be forgotten. Sing with me the times of old, When Gods and Men stood toe to toe, Contracts forged with blood and gold, Will forever his to uphold. So let us praise this warrior of the night, Though he asks for nothing from his fights But one treasure that will belong to them and only them, Is a love that can never be condemned,
For if they lose their way in the dark, A love most treasured would embark Pull them from the darkness of their mind Remind them once more that they are mine
They’d been laying on the roof of the inn for a short while now, Xiao’s head resting on the Archon’s lap as Venti happily sang his song. Xiao had a few new injuries but nothing too serious - and at least he’d allowed for Venti to help with dressing them, before giving into this request. With a soft hum, his lyre vanished from his hands and formed back into the fake vision on his hip, one hand moving to gently run through dark messy hair. “Let me sing for you whenever your plagued by the filth of this world”, he spoke in a soft whisper, leaning down in order to place a gentle kiss to his lips, a soft musical giggle heard as he broke free from the serious tone, “I love you, Xiao”

🥂 – a drunk kiss (Phantasos and Venti)
Kiss Symbols
“See! I told you Angels Share has the best wine and cider!”, Venti laughed happily as he finished off another mug. It wasn’t as though he could go to the Cat’s Tail even if he wished to - Diona was enough to set off his allergies, and who could enjoy a good drink and company when they spent the majority of the time trying not to sneeze into their drink! And he could just add the expense to his tab!
Tumblr media
“Time for a small performance then”, summoning his lyre, he leaned back in the chair, a small intake of breath taken before he began to sing. Even if his drunken state, he seemed to capture the attention of everyone in the tavern as a song was song about an old friend, Venti’s eyes closed over, a smile tugging on the corner of his lips as he allowed the fond memories to play before him.
“And that - is how you get a few free drinks!”, he grinned at Phantasos, a small voice reminding him that she was from a different world, that he barely knew anything about her. He shouldn’t be getting this careless around her, and yet there he was pouring out more wine for them both, childishly giggling as he leaned up and gave a quick peck to her lips.
Tumblr media
“E-he! Oh! Let’s see who finishes first! Ready? Go!”

@starlightofdream asked for a starter!
He could often be found here on days were memories would play on his mind. Sitting on one of the lower branches of the giant tree of Windrise, the rustling of the wind helping to clear away some of the thoughts as he played a soft tune that he’d once played for Vennessa all those years ago. It wasn’t as though he was sad - just perhaps a little lonely. Everyone could get days like that and when you’ve lived for as long as he has, perhaps it made sense for these type of days to occur from time to time
If he’d just let go and forget about his friends then maybe this pain would ease - but he couldn’t. He wasn’t allowing the world to forget about them, never mind his own mind.
Tumblr media
Movement close to the statue of the Ameno God caught his attention, Venti sitting up ever so slightly as he watched the stranger below. Was this another adventurer? He hadn’t seen them around before now. With a small hop, he summoned some wind around his form as he leapt down from where he had been hidden, a warm smile being shown as he approached the other figure - a woman? “Ah. My Lady, I’m sorry I did not greet you before now. Are you by chance lost? Or perhaps weary from a long night?”

“Yoho!”
A happy greeting is called as the Anemo Archon lowers himself to the floor of the balcony of the Wangshu Inn, the only warning truly given before his skipping over to the taller male, wrapping his arms around the arm of the other, a bright smile ever present as his mind attempts to think on how to word his request for the company of the other.
Tumblr media
“Miss me?”, letting go of his arm, he clasps his hands behind his back, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet, “Can I take you some place?”, usually he wouldn’t mind going for a walk nearby or just staying in the Inn. As long as Xiao was getting some rest of seeming to be enjoying himself, then Venti was pretty content. He may not be able to do much else than to offer comfort, songs and love, but he’d do what he can, “That some place being Mondstadt”. He had no doubts that Xiao would know that the festival was around this time of year - maybe some guests of the Inn had even mentioned travelling to Mondstadt for the event.
“I promise to keep you away from any type of riot - the winds can hold us in our sanctuary of quiet”

@songzhong​ continued from [X]
Tumblr media
“For an old friend, exceptions can be made”. He’d let his lyre fade away, the fake vision taking it’s normal shape as he watched the taller male join him on the branch that he could often be found sitting on. There were three places that he was likely to be found - windrise was no doubt the easiest for the other Archon to visit like this. “Silence can be heavy - but even the strongest of rock or winds can’t escape that weight all the time”, he’d shifted slightly, reaching under his cloak in order to pull out an apple, more to fiddle with than to actually eat, he just needed to keep his hands busy or he’d be tempted to actually play his lyre again.

It was a surprise to have seen Xiao so close to the city, though not too surprising that he seemed to still be keeping his distance. The events of the festival though took place throughout Mondstadt, so maybe there was a way for Xiao to still enjoy the atmosphere, without having to deal with too many people. Maybe during the night? Either way, he was curious enough to glide down from the plaza, skipping through the streets, pausing only to carefully avoid any feline that happened to stand in his way. Those things seemed to enjoy trying to catch him off guard, his nose ticklish as he finally made it safely outside the city gates and once he was alone, he vanished into the winds, appearing just behind Xiao, sitting on a low branch of an apple tree - the fruit now happily being ate as he gave the Yaksha.
Tumblr media
“Hehe! Care for an apple?”
