An order for the 900+ Follower event
Coming right up!
You want a chocolate milk (Headcannons) with comfortingly sweet envy flavor (puppet au), added syrup with a flowery aroma (Flower tag). I'll send it to Ei, "How can I grow to love this world?" From Child reader.
*~Synopsis: Child!reader finds a hidden dungeon in Tenshukaku... with a familiar person in there.
*~Notes: Ei supremacy. Also! puppet au + child reader is such an odd combination I hadn't even thought of while making the event, thank you! I hope I did this to your liking!
*~Warnings: Slightly angsty?? Imprisonment, cult behaviors, toxic relationships/mindsets, a child (under 10) is considered god
*~*~*~*
You were too young to understand the concept of your godhood, much less the thought of someone impersonating you.
So the "imposter" was meant to be kept a secret from you, held in Tenshukaku for no one but the archons to see.
Nobody was sure how you did it, one moment they were rushing to get you an adequate snack (Ei pouting because she wanted to help but Yae Miko threatened her when she tried to), the next you were gone.
They searched the entirety of Tenshukaku looking for you, the last place they thought you'd be was underneath the building. In the dungeons, staring face-to-face with the "imposter".
Your wide, child eyes stared at the figure through the bars. Their skin was dirty, eyes hollow, breath shallow, but an invisible string tugged you towards them.
Something, a word you didn't know, was on the tip of your tongue. You reached your hand out to the unresponsive figure, "Hey," Your high-pitched voice caused their ears to prick up and eyes to widen, "Are you okay?"
Your fingers reached within the bars, the invisible string urging you to touch their beaten and battered form.
Two pairs of the same colored eyes met and the figure's breathing stopped as they stared at you.
You paused as well, your undeveloped brain taking a moment to process their appearance.
They looked like you, exactly like you, but older. Not by much though, they looked to be a teenager or young adult.
You opened your mouth to comment on their appearance, to ask them to come closer so you could see them and touch them, to see if they were real, but they beat you to it.
Their eyes lit up with life once more and they whispered in a voice similar to your own, simply more mature, "Your grace."
Your hand stuttered and retracted back towards your body, almost as though you were stung, "Ah, you're just like them then..." You said, mostly to yourself, "Why do you look so similar to me?" You tilted your head, the string still urging - begging - for you to get closer to the figure.
Their eyes, the same color as yours, shattered. They seemed as though they were about to burst into tears at any moment, their hands shaking and bottom lip quivering.
"Y-you... don't remember?" They whimpered, looking away from you.
You tilted your head, "Remember... what?" You furrowed your brows and frowned. Your chest ached at seeing them so distraught.
"You'd..." They sighed, "No, it's far too much to explain now. Not when you're so young."
"You can tell me!" You exclaimed, pushing your face against the bars to get closer to their figure, chained up with metal and dry vines. As though they'd been there for a long time, "I'm very good with adult stuff! I'm Teyvat's creator after all!"
They looked up at your face, smushed against the bars, a determined crease in your brows, and giggled. It was miniscule, but it was genuine and freeing.
It caused you to smile in turn, a happiness bubbling in your chest as they smiled for the first time in who knows how long.
Ei barged into the room, lightning causing your hair to stick up.
You whipped your head around towards her and grinned. Your young and sheltered mind didn't perceive the danger she possessed, after all she was only ever nice to you. She couldn't hurt people in your mind
"Ei!" You grinned and ran over to her, clutching at her clothes with a wide and goofy grin, "Look at them! They look just like me! I think we're family or something, they feel like my... uh..." While still holding onto the electro archon's robes, you turned back to the figure in the cell. They were curled in on themselves, though their eyes were alight with passion as they stared at you. "They feel like my kid." You concluded with a self-assuring nod.
Ei bundled your small form up in her arms and lifted you up, resting you on her hip.
She ruffled the hair on your head affectionately, though a smile did not grace her face, "Your grace, what are you doing down here?" She frowned, and your shoulders slumped at the disappointment (and near fear) in her eyes.
"I felt like it." You stated simply, pointing to the person in the cell, the shriveled vines almost cradling their form, "They're very nice. I can tell."
Ei frowned, "Your grace, they're not that nice... They're down here for a reason." She rubbed some stray grime off of your face, worry creasing her brows.
You tilted your head, “Why’re they down here?”
A whine built up in the back of her throat. She couldn’t just refuse you, you were her god, but you were so young. She didn’t want to tell you too much but she couldn’t just refuse you.
“It’s because we’re exactly the same. The only difference is our apparent age.” The figure croaked out meekly.
Lightning tickled the air and your heart ached, “What’s so wrong with looking like me?” You pouted.
Ei shook her head frantically, “No, no, there’s nothing wrong with it! It’s just that they were...” she sighed, “it’s hard to explain to you because you’re so young.”
You whined, “I can handle it! Let them out! They’re nice! I can tell!”
You tugged at her clothes with a pout, giving the best puppy dog eyes you could.
Eventually, after glancing between you, the imposter, you, the imposter, back and forth, she sighed. (Your incessant whining might've also had something to do with it.)
"Fine. I'll trust you, your grace. But they cannot leave the cell and I will be right beside you, okay?" She said sternly, but her hand softly held your face with worry.
You nodded eagerly, grinning ear-to-ear, your tears drying up immediately.
Ei huffed but a small smile still tugged up at her lips. She held onto you as she opened up the cell with... some type of power. You weren't entirely sure what she did but all she had to do was hold up her hand to the lock and it opened without struggle.
The entire time she glared down at them as though they'd jump at you like a wild animal. Meanwhile, you wiggled out of her arms and ran towards them.
"Your grace!" Ei called out in almost a whine as you went face to face with the "imposter".
Ei held onto the back of your clothes, the multitude of visions on your form jingled as you stared into the identical eyes of the person.
They smiled and their hand began to reach out for you, but paused. You reached your hand out instead, not even sure what you were doing, until you placed your hand gently on their head.
You breathed out a laugh, and something fell into place, "It's been a while."
Flowers bloomed on their head and the vines, stars twinkled in their eyes, "That is has, your grace. Though, last time, I believe you were taller."
You giggled, memories tickled at your brain but you couldn't quite recall anything.
The only thing you did know was that they were family. Like Eula, misunderstood and hated by the world, but you loved them all the same.
"Your grace..?" Ei whispered.
You looked back to her, smiling but your eyes were sad, "There's nothing wrong with looking like me... Ei..." You couldn't pretend to smile anymore as your lips tugged down to a distressed frown, tears flooding your eyes, "Why did you hurt them?"
