"Here is your tea, My Lord"

"Thank you Hubert. You may continue on with your day" Danafor answered as he watched his assistant walked away after he bowed.

As per usual, Danafor had planned out to reveal his return tonight. Thus, he was lucky to have Hubert with him who possessed a Light Vision like him. More like he gifted it to the boy but that will be a story for another time.

He brought the cup of hot tea to his lips, taking a small sip before placing it back down on the coffee table of his living area.

His clothes that once consisted of a black longsleeved dress shirt and a pair of white trousers were replaced with something he was much more comfortable in wearing.

He almost forgot about one thing..And that was to see how Barbatos was doing.

But Danafor had planned out to visit him once everything in Ataraxia is settled before showing up to his beloved.

"Ah..Ataraxia..Oh how I long to rule this land again." Danafor spoke as he took another sip of his tea as he gazes at the nearby window.

There he saw his people, greeting each other in such forms of kindness as the children played and enjoyed themselves.

Ahh youth..

He was beyond surprised that Ataraxia remained a peaceful nation over the centuries. He's heard of the bad connections of Mondstadt and Snezhnaya, so he doesnt want the same thing happening to Ataraxia if Danafor didnt wake up.

"My Lord, the ceremony will commence in 2 hours..Shall I help you prepare?" Danafor snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his assistant's voice speaking.

Danafor nods his head with a small smile."That would be lovely Hubert. Thank you"

Hubert couldnt help but smile brightly. It wasnt new to the two that Hubert absolutely loved getting praises, especially from the Archon of Light.

"Well then, I've prepared multiple outfits for you to choose from My Lord. Pick what seems to peek your interest and I will be waiting outside your door if you needed any assistance" spoke Hubert, whining happily when he recieved a headpat from Danafor.

Without any furthur answer, Danafor entered the dressing room and closed the door as Hubert stood there patiently.

As for Danafor. As he stood there changing his clothing, his golden orbs couldnt help but gaze into the tapestry hanging on the wall of the dressing room.

It was a tapestry that resembled him and his brother, Rhysand

(Flashback)

Many many years ago, there were 2 sons who were born with powers like no other. One who sustains the balance of daylight and luminescence and one who sustains the night and darkness.

As the older brother named Fido recieved all the praises and love from its people for bringing the warm light to them, the other was neglected for all he's done was raise the moon as the night came forth. The younger brother's name was Rhysand

Rhysand was never given any praise unlike his older brother. The sole reason because his duty was to raise the moon and night and people are already asleep at that state. And his beloved younger brother only drifted into darkness even furthur from the insecurities he felt towards his older brother.

"Fido, why must you be so..like this!?" Screamed Rhysand as tears fell from his silver eyes that bore hatred into them. He stared at his older brother in complete hatred.

"Enough Rhysand! Your duty to to remain the sustainability of night and darkness! It was never my fault that I was given the praise beloved brother..If only we were to swap places then I will gladly hand over my position to you!" Fido shouted back, there were tears streaming down his cheeks but they were from the anguish and guilt he felt.

But Rhysand wasnt having any of that. He was tired. Tired of being in the shadows of his older brother.

"Leave!" The younger brother demanded as he pointed his honey-toned finger to the door.

"Rhysand please just liste-"

"I said LEAVE!" Rhysand shouted in hatred as Fido looked at him with his golden orbs that widened.

Before Fido can even utter one more word, he was forced out of his younger brother's room as the oakwood doors snapped shut with a loud bang echoing throughout the hallways. The door was coated in dark yet beautiful aura. But whats controlling them were far from becoming pure.

Rhysand only drifted into darkness as he swore to bring eternal night all over Teyvat. So that everyone call feel the anguish and insecurities he felt under the shadows of his Older brother.

(End of Flashback)

Danafor sighed sadly as he gently caressed the soft texture of the tapestry, feeling the water works drip down his golden orbs.

"Im sorry beloved brother..Once I get you back from the hands of Evil, we shall rule Ataraxia together day and night.." he spoke brokenly.

Wiping away the tears, he finally composed himself before leaving the dressing room. He was ready to serve the people of Ataraxia once more.

"Let the ceremony begin, Hubert."
