The ghost of Irminsull
Scaramouche/Wanderer x reader
Warning: spoilers 3.3, angst, mistakes
(I'm sorry it's too chaotic... sorry)
You were just a ghost of the irminsul. You don't remember your past, the times before you became a spirit. Your family, friends, the things you loved - all thouse things are long forgotten.
Now you don't now clearly remember the face of your savior Rukhadevata. You don't remember the words she said to you, but somehow you remember that because if them you started your wonderings.
You hardly remember the tragedy...
Hardly remember the birth of Kusanali.
You only remember that due to Irminsull's illness. I has it's toll on you - you completely lost your physical shell.
You almost forgot how you tried to save Kusanali from sages, but it was no use
Humans can't see you, and Arcons can't help.
You hardly remember how Kusanali told you to go and see the world, to become her eyes.
You hardly remember your wonders among all of Teyvat.
But you remember pain, that you felt then you was away from irminsul. Pain from being alone.
What is the point of your existence?
Why are you even here?
Why didn't you simply disappear?
No one sees you. No one care
- Hey, what's wrong? - you were sitting on nazuchi beach. The pain you felt today was unbarebel.
- Is something wrong?
It took you some time to hear the voice. You turned your head to where the voice came from. Your eyes found the boy, who was standing right in front of you. He was the most beautiful sight you have ever seen. Dark hair framed his white face, his indigo-blue eyes were mesmerizing. His beauty was beyond human reach... His aura was .... Devine?
He shilded you from rain with his umbrella from pouring rain. He was so surprised to find someone out here in such weather.
-Are you okay?- he spoke again.
- you... can you see me? - your voice was quiet and shaky.
- huh? - his brows furrowed in confusion - yes, I can ! Why are you asking me? - he was as surprised as you - anyway, it's not safe to be here, it's raining hard. Do you have somewhereto go? - you were staring at him in shock. How could he see you? - Anyway, i can't leave you here, come with me, I'll take you to a place where you will be safe, warm and ... uh,- he stuttered, looking like he was deep in thought, - How Niwa and Katsuragi said?- he asked himself - and you can eat something where.
You were stunned. He could see you... how could ti be possible? And why is he so kind to you ?
- Kabukimono? Kabukimono? Where are you? - In the distance you could see a man wearing a green bandana with white squares on his brown hair strand of which was as red as mapele leaves in autumn- Kabukimono? What are you doing?
- Niwa ! Look, I found them here sitting in rain all alone! - the man looked at the place, which Kabukimono tried to protect with his umbrella and saw nothing.
- Uh.. Are you alright, Kabukimono?- he asked a puppet. His confusion was visible.
- Yes I am! - Kabukimono protested - But they don't seem to be okay !
- I'm sorry, Kabukimono- Niwa interrupted. - But I don't see anyone.
To say the least, It was shocking for Kabukimono. Soon enough, he learned that he was the only one who could see you. But you wasn't his hallucinations. You were real. Only one who knew about you was Niwa. He believed Kabukimono, and he didn't tell anyone about you to save Kabukimono from strange looks.
You became Kabukimono's friend, it wasn't easy for him, and it wasn't easy for you too. But you tried your best. You didn't know how to communicate properly, but this made a bouth of you.... he was a puppet after all... he was learning how to communicate as well... but you always were by his side. You saw how he experienced a lot of things for the first time. You shared his happiness and his sadness.
He made you feel wgave you a warm feeling in the chest. His smile was so dear to you. He was your starlight. He became a reason of your existence. You were happy with him, and you wished him happiness
One night, you learned about his origins. It's was a stormy night. He was crying in his sleep. You couldn't really shake him awake, your touch was really light, barely noticeable. It feels like a breeze. And you couldn't really move other objects. You guessed only Kabukimono could really make physical touch with you. You tried to wipe away his tears, but it didn't do much. You tried to call his name, and after a while, it worked. He was crying, and you tried to comfort him. And it was the time when he told you everything. How he was abandoned, how he laied in Shakai pavilion alone, how Katsuragi found him, how Niwa and others became his family, how he wished he had a human heart.
- You are a spirit, right... do you wish to be a human?- he asked you
- Yes, I do wish for it.
His story answered on all of your questions. He was related to archon, and that's why he sees you. But he is different from archons, he tries to help you
Then tatarasuna accident happened
His second betrayal
You couldn't help
Only thing you could do, is stay by his side.
- So, you will stay with me? Then together we will crash Raiden goukaden.
He became Kunikuzushi. And you stayed by his side.... you didn't agree with his plan. But there was nothing you could do
He was the only one who could see you
He was your only friend
He was your starlight, your reson to exist.
And you were his only friend. Only one who was with him. He was really thankful for you. And you were really dear to him. You were his only comfort, his only happiness.
When he met a little boy, he found his family. Kunikuzushi was sad that boy couldn't see you, but he felt peace...
But the boy wasn't strong enough. His sickness was stronger than him
Third betrayal hit him hard... all that left was ashes.
He lost everything. But you were by his side.
You were by his side when he joined fatui. To tell the truth, you never left his side, you never wanted to. You loved him. You were his only comfort through the pain of experiments and torture.
In everyone's eyes, he was cruel, fearful, merciless Scaramouche. But once doors were closed, he became soft, only for you
You never betray him.
But, now you never smiled.
- Once I became an archon, I'll give you a physical form- he said this after he stole the electro gnosis. Your spirit from was getting weaker and weaker. - I'll make you happy, and never leave you. And you will never leave me, right?
- I want to be by your side- you answer. "But I don't agree with you", you though. You didn't want him to become like this, cruel, merciless, lost.
You knew that you couldn't save him. And it was really painful for you.
But you're just a ghost, what you can do.
He was different from archons before, but now he was drowning in his desires and believes just like them.
Even though you always was by his side he started to ignore you.
Haypastia became his most concern. You are just a spirit, and she is his devoted follower.
He almost became an archon.
All that's left, to eliminate traveler
But you appeared during the fight. He stopped instantly.
- That are you doing here ? Can't you wait a little longer? I almost....
You came closer
- That do you want? Why are you doing this? Why don't you say anything?
Travel and Kusanali could see you... it was your plan. You knew you couldn't stop Scaramouche, but you knew that traveler is strong enough.
- Please stop... you already hurt enough
And he fell.
Then he awoken, you were by his side. But he was too mad... too stuck in his feelings.
Once he was in Irminsull he was on one step closer to the truth. You were by his side. And traveler was right here too but it wasn't enough to stop him.
He want to change his past. To save Niwa, to save a boy. To see you happy one more time.
But he erased himself from Teyvat..
And now Wanderer will open one bitter truth...
Then he erased himself from irminsul, he erased you as well.
Now the only one he loved. The ghost of irminsul never existed in Teyvat
