of sunstone (1/4)

summary: as the sun god, your duties are lonely; days spent driving the sun chariot for countless years rob you of companions. except one, morax. befriending him before the cataclysm, your time is cut short and you are cursed to become a ghost of who you once were. brief friendships means nothing in the piercing sunlight.

basically me tying greek myths to genshin

pairing: zhongli x gn!god!reader (reader’s title is ‘helios’ - it’s not your actual name, like the title ‘morax’)

warnings: major lore of teyvat spoilers, they/them pronouns used for reader, mentions of loss and death, graphic violence (chapter 2/4), angst to fluff

enjoy :]

next part

masterlist

The libraries of Celestia boast of worn tomes of sacred wisdom, penned by many mortal and immortal scribes. All who hold the privilege of entering this temple of knowledge remark on the myriad of scrolls, tablets and many other methods of recording information available to them. Hungry smiles almost devour on their faces as they recall tasting new-found education as if it were ambrosia.

Humans were ever so curious about the workings of the world; their contributions had made way to countless pockets of their thoughts appearing in the libraries. You slide out a scroll from your pile of books, sitting down in an empty alcove. The characters simply read ‘Sun-children, rulers of Byakuyakoku,’ and with a frown on your face you ease it open. You don’t have any children, therefore you wonder who came up with a title so inaccurate. Whilst you had been worshipped by a small sect of people in Byakuyakoku, they had never before referred to their mortal rulers as your children.

A puff of breath releases in frustration. Your eyes skim the pages quickly as the words floated around your head.

“The Divine Bridle? A symbol of office for the Sun Child?” your eyes widen as you continue reading. Not hearing the steps of your friend behind you. Steady, confident steps.

“Greetings, Helios,” a deep voice greets you with your given title; handpicked for you by the Primordial One themselves. It has never really fit you; you stick with it as it is the official title most know you as. When you are not in Celestia, you prefer to go by a different name when you interact with humans - yet you’re stuck with your title when talking with gods. You roll the scroll back up in exasperation, before turning to face Morax, who watches you with a small flicker of amusement in his stony gaze. “You have completed your duties, I presume?”

“Yes,” you tell him. shoulders slumping forward as you flex your fingers to get rid of the stiffness that comes with steering the Sun Chariot. “Otherwise the sun would not have gone to sleep.”

“Of course,” Morax replies, gracefully sitting next to you. His eyes are scrutinizing, as sharp as a blade. “What exactly are you reading today?”

You shrug, taking up the scroll you had discarded. The text is yellowed and delicate, and you carefully place it in his outstretched hand. As he goes though the scroll, your eyes take in his rigid posture, the way his eyes almost absorb what he is reading. The soft golden lamplight brushes over his features like a delicate painter creating a masterpiece, and he glows in the illumination.

“What do you make of it?” you raise a brow, gesturing to the scroll. “Any ideas why they chose that specific title to give to their rulers?”

Morax ponders your question. Golden eyes lift in thought. “I assume because if the mortal child sovereigns were labelled as your children, it would quell some rebellions, as they wouldn’t get on your bad side. The divine bridle as a symbol of office would be taken as proof of your favor, and so it would seem to the citizens that you are in control. Byakuyakoku has sunk beneath Teyvat, however, so I doubt this will be relevant to the present day.”

You slowly blink - acknowledging his wisdom. Giving a brief nod, you roll the text back up before rising from the chair. “That does make sense, yet the sun that presides over them is an invention, mortal-made.”

Morax stands up as well, moving to carry the rest of the scrolls on the table. “Yet it is still a symbol of you. It still represents your power.”

His face darkens slightly. His eyes narrowing as he carefully places the scrolls in their respective areas in the alcove. “I must leave you. The harbor needs my guidance, and there is news of a disturbance in Lisha.”

Shimmering air ripples around him, before he disappears. It’s quiet once more. A sigh is let out from you as you continue watching the air where he stood once.

“The duties of the Geo Archon are many,” you tell yourself in resignation, before you decide on your destination for the night. Visiting old friends is long due, therefore your journey tonight will take you to the Lunar Palace. The crumbling halls were once glorious and sheltered the three moon sisters, Aria, Sonnet and Canon, before their Chariot was overturned and bloodshed arose. They fought between themselves in a brutal war. To this day, you still don’t know which of their corpses floats in the sky as the moon. Only one remains, after all.

The library side doors creak open softly as you exit the building. The main doors have been locked since you finished your daily journey. Not a problem; you like the library better at night. The daylight brings with it too many people to a place you consider a safe haven from your toiling work. Cold wind lingers on your body. Its frigid fingers bring you to a slight shiver. You draw your robes around your body tighter.

The walk to the Lunar Palace is long and chilly. Miniature clouds are expelled from you as you breath out - they dispel just as quickly in the harsh weather. Winter creeps towards the edges of Celesta especially fast.

Paying respects is something you’ve established for yourself at the times when the sisters would change places at the Chariot three times a month. The memories are numbed by time, yet they still pain you as someone who witnessed the tragedy when you were young. They were like your family after you had been brought into existence as the Sun God by the Primordial One, and they taught you how to drive the sun.

Bittersweet. You view these moments as such, when you look back upon the past. Yet you must continue moving forward. Bringing light daily to Teyvat is your sole duty. Shaking your head as if to clear it, your journey brings you to a stop at the dilapidated Lunar Palace.

Thorny vines cover most of the once-glorious stone. Their leaves tangle and drown the palace in a dull green flood. Even centuries after their deaths, the scent of evening primrose still lingers. It’s a delicate scent, one that lulls you to a quiet, grim relaxation as you kneel at the memorial you carved out of moonstone. Grey stone welcomes your body as you sink down, bowing your head. Small crystals and flowers are placed by your careful hands, and you exchange the old food on the memorial for fresh fruit grown by the most talented gardeners in Teyvat.

You don’t need to speak. Words aren’t necessary with the ghosts of the sisters that you visit. Your presence is enough, as it has been since they met their fate. You don’t know how long it’s been since their deaths, yet you still keep track of when they would’ve changed reins. You never know if they see you during your visits. Perhaps they’ve moved on from this plane of existence. Hopefully. Closing your eyes, you wish them well and utter a silent prayer to the stars that they’ve found peace.

Standing up, you brush the leaves from your robes, deciding to sweep up a bit in the ruins. Surveying the area, no brooms are spotted, and so you make do with burning the leaves you gather with some of the heat you summon from the sun. The ash is then scattered amongst the soil, in hopes that the flower seeds you planted on your last visit will one day bloom. It’s the least you can do to repay the kindness of the sisters. To make the dilapidated ruins more bearable would bring you only joy.

You leave the grounds with one final bow to the ruins. The journey to the Solar Palace would take up the rest of the night, and so you make haste in getting there. Teleporting would cost too much energy, as someone who isn’t one of the Seven; they have access to a part of Celestia itself with their Gnoses. You pass through the realm with relative ease as most are elsewhere during the chill of the night.

The desolate Solar Palace is your abode that you barely spend time in - preferring to frequent the city itself, or visit the mortal realm below. On days when you find yourself too weary to drive the chariot, you simply allow part of your consciousness to duplicate and steer the sun; you favor spending time in the palace on those days. Your chambers are filled with warmth when the sun shines. The dust motes lazily float in the glow of the light. Exhausted, you spend those breaks reading and enjoying the respite.

As the moon slowly approaches the horizon, you grab the four bridles from the hall and stride to the stable. The horses never tire, and on days when you send in your consciousness to drive them, they still know it’s you who holds the reins. The stables are constructed out of honey-gold wood. Age-old doors are smoothly oiled as you open them - heralds to your arrival.

Pyrois, Aeos, Aethon and Phlegon are geared up; it’s been countless years of work each day, and so they all know exactly what to expect when you harness them to the Sun Chariot. Yet today seems to be an unexpected day as you spot Morax at the gate of the stables.

“Morax?” you call out to him, eyebrows raising in surprise as you approach, after giving the steeds the command to stay. His eyes glint a brighter gold as you move towards him, a habit of his that you notice he does when thinking deeply.

“I have come to ask of you a favor,” he states. His impassive stare pierces through you. You cannot tell what he wants, but judging by his posture relaxing slightly, you know it won’t be anything too arduous.

“Depends on what it is,” you reply, gesturing simply to the Sun Chariot. “My duties need to be fulfilled soon. It is almost time to steer the dawn forward.”

“Of course,” Morax inclines his head in consideration. “My request is to be a passenger on your chariot.”

Shock. It paints your face with even wider eyes and parted lips. Never before have you taken someone with you as the dawn opens; your job is a solitary one. Yet you can’t think of a reason to not allow him to join you; the request itself isn’t outrageous.

“Be my guest,” you tell him, but lift up a hand to pause his step. He tilts his head in response, and you slowly gesture at the layers of clothing he’s wearing, before pointing at your simple robes. “Rid yourself of those layers, before you cook in the sun.”

Shrugging off his overcoat, he is left with robes similar to yours - simple trousers with a sleeveless top, which show the golden tattoos running down his arms. You pause to admire them, tracing your eyes along the patterns, before you hang up his coat in the stables, the fabric landing on the peg with a satisfying thump.

“I must bless you with a ward before you join me,” you warn him. Glowing hands hover before him. As soon as he nods, your eyes close as you materialize a barrier between him and the unforgiving sun rays. A faint seal of deep red appears over his heart, before it sinks into his body.

“I believe it is time to depart,” Morax notes, before walking forward to greet the horses with some sugar cubes.

“Watch out,” you call out, hurrying after him urgently. “Phlegon doesn’t like strangers.”

“Phlegon?” Morax inquires. Confident steps pause momentarily as he gestures to the fiery steeds. They stare at him, unnervingly quiet. They aren’t the average mortal horse; instead their manes and tails flicker as a flame. They were created as a gift for you to drive the Sun Chariot by the Primordial One.

“A mane of carnelian-red,” you point out Phlegon amongst the horses, patting their nose. You turn to the steed, and point at Morax. “No biting.”

Morax gives Phlegon a considerable berth as he steps into the Sun Chariot, handing over the sugar to you to give to the horses.

“Discouraged?” you inquire, visibly amused. You offer the horses the sugar cubes, before easing into the chariot, which creaks under you, as if to greet you as it has every day. The reins are familiar as you hold them. “Hold tight.”

Morax’s grip tightens on the rail of the chariot and he simply just looks at you. You take that as acknowledgement and the chariot begins to roll smoothly forward, picking up speed as the edge of the Palace comes to be seen. Wind rushes in your ears and you let out a laugh; the feeling of the drop off the edge never gets old to you. The chariot picks up speed and soon it is soaring in the sky, bathed in the light of the sun.

Once the chariot has steadied in the air, you turn to gaze questioningly at Morax as he looks down upon Teyvat. In the forefront of your mind, only one word waltzes around.

“Why?” your voice is barely audible over the roar of the wind. Morax only points to the land south-west, a land you recognise as Liyue. “Why did you ask to come with me?”

“Isn’t it beautiful?” his low voice is almost drowned out in the wind as he avoids your question. With a sigh, you cast a warding around the chariot so you can properly hear each other.

“Yes,” you muse, looking down at the sprawled-out land. Crooked mountains are cast down like jagged spears - which, gazing at Morax, you suppose is his doing. The Archon War was brutal, and you had not desired for yourself a seat among the Seven. You were content in a position that didn’t draw unwanted attention to yourself, one that allowed you to move more freely under the watchful eyes of Celestia.

“Why have you asked to come with me?” you repeat the question, side-eyeing him. He’s quiet for several breaths, as if he’s wondering what to say.

“There is going to be grave danger soon,” Morax begins, voice quiet. He moves closer to you, your faces almost touching. His lips are right next to your ear. Softly warning you.

“Something is churning out monsters into the mortal realm, and the gods must be prepared to fight in this war. I fear many of us will perish.”

Lips parted, you turn to face him. Hands subconsciously guide the reins through muscle memory. Death is not a stranger to you, yet the thought of bloodshed makes you queasy. “Do you have any suspicions on the perpetrator?”

Morax’s stony gaze flickers down past Liyue into the Chasm. His amber eyes narrow. “I will soon be under a contract not to speak of what will occur. To avoid eyes, I have asked you to allow me to come with you. The conflict will be bloody, and so I bade you to be careful. I have my suspicions, however, I can only do my duty as an Archon. Tread very carefully.”

“That’s cryptic,” you attempt to lighten the dark atmosphere, which ironically is on the Sun Chariot. “I shall complete my duties too in driving the sun, though I doubt I’ll be allowed to miss the conflict.”

Morax’s hand lightly skims your arm. His serious gaze lessens he looks at you with a flicker of concern. “I know you can take care of yourself, but take this as seriously as possible. Many lives will be lost before this ends, after which I am not allowed to say anything about it.”

It’s silent. Quiet in the little refuge you created. You look away from his face, eyes tracing the path your chariot has always taken through the sky. It’s cloudless on this day, and the blue of the sky is peaceful. A contrast to the bloodshed that will occur soon.

“You be careful too,” you respond. “Remember to be patient in your battles.”

“Try to stay alive,” Morax asks of you, voice steady as stone. “A promise to do so is foolish, but try to, at least.”

You simply nod, unable to escape the sinking feeling settling in the pit of your stomach. Your eyes pick up the bustle of civilisation as you pass over Liyue over Sumeru. Watching. Wondering if they too are unaware of the dangers seeping into their lives, poised to attack.
