CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR HARBINGERS NAMES

TW : Mentions of injections.

You were sweating. How did you end up here? Of course, you managed to escape Fontaine, your identity was sealed. You were wearing a white outfit with a mask to cover your whole face (I added 2 examples of the masks, take whichever you want :D).

Everything was given to you by Her Highness Tsaritsa, she surprisingly seemed quite fond of you. It was very unlikely for an archon to take liking of a mere mortal, but you took everything with a grateful smile. Of course, everything comes with a price. In exchange for helping you escape Fontaine and an arranged marriage, Tsaritsa noticed your healing abilities. To your luck, Harbingers were lacking a capable healer and Il Dottore's injections did more harm than good. You didn't have much of a choice, so you joined The Fatui and became a helper of the Harbingers.

Your train of thought was disturbed by a huge door closing, symbolising the start of the meeting. You, Her Highness and 10 Harbingers were seated in a fancy meeting hall. The table was covered in all kinds of treats and drinks, but the only one enjoying them was a tall orange head at the end of the table. He was stuffing his mouth full, while a certain elegant looking woman was giving him a disgusted look.

"- Do you have no manners, Childe? At least use a napkin,'' - The woman sighed while handing the boy a white napkin.

The orange head laughed and snatched it from her hand.

"- Thank you, Signora. By the way, where is Scaramouche?" - The ginger asked.

"- I believe he is still on a mission in Liyue,"

Suddenly Tsaritsa stood up from the table and clapped her hands twice. Everyone went silent. Most people imagined Tsaritsa as quite cruel and heartless, but right now she seemed quite happy and pleased with everyone. If you looked closely, you would even see a small smile forming on her lips.

"- Thank you for gathering everyone. I'm happy to know that almost everyone was able to make it. Today's meeting won't be long, we all have important matters to attend to, so I'll try to make this as short as possible." - Her Highness spoke.

She looked around the table until her eyes met your own. Even with a mask covering your entire face, you felt like she could see right through it. Her Highness spoke again after a moment of silence :

"- I'd say today is also quite special. We have a new addition to our family. Y/N, please stand up."

You stood up. You felt everyone's eyes on you and that made you quite anxious. What if they don't like you? What if they want to harm you and this is all a trap? Tsaritsa spoke again :

"- This is Y/N. She is going to be our helper from now on. Please, treat them with respect and care. Oh, I forgot to mention that she is also specialised at healing, so all the battle consequences can be more likely healed by her. Now, please, I'd like you all to introduce yourselves."

You stood there in complete silence, but it's not like you had anything to say. You were anxious. Very anxious. This is the start of your very new life after all. Everyone went around the table and introduced themselves.

1st Harbinger - Pulcinella.

2nd Harbinger - Il Capitano.

3rd Harbinger - Il Dottore. (Which kept quite an intense eye contact with you, as if he was trying to break through all of your defensive walls)

4th Harbinger - Colombina.

5th Harbinger stayed silent. They didn't even pay you a look.

7th Harbinger - Pantalone.

8th Harbinger - La Signora.

9th Harbinger - Sandrone.

10th Harbinger just glared at you, stood up and went out of the hall. To that, Tsaritsa just smiled and said "- Don't mind them, they're quite shy."

And lastly the 11th Harbinger - Tartaglia. So far, he seemed the happiest to have you here, which made you feel a little bit more relaxed.

As everyone finished introducing themselves, after a few minutes of thinking Tsaritsa announced :

"- Well then, I think it's time to introduce you all to the schedule of our new little helper. In short, she is going to be helping you all for one month each. Starting tomorrow, she will be staying with one of you for 30 days. After those days have passed, she will be transferred to the other Harbinger."

Everyone nodded in agreement. But now you were even more scared. Who is be the first Harbinger you will be assisting? You silently prayed to all the gods that it would be either La Signora or Tartaglia, since they seemed like the friendliest ones. To your notice, Tsaritsa heard your prayers.

"- I'm thinking about giving her to Tartaglia for her first month. We don't want to scare our little assistant now, do we?" - Tsaritsa spoke as she glared at the 5th Harbinger.

Meanwhile Tartaglia seemed overjoyed. He even gave you a thumbs up! What a sweet guy. He seemed quite a nice person, but after all, Harbingers are far from nice people. They kill people for living without having second thoughts. They can't be trusted... Right? Shortly, everyone was dismissed. The first one to leave was Her Highness Tsaritsa, only then all of the Harbingers started standing up and preparing to leave. Some of them were having a small chat. As soon as you stood up, Tartaglia rushed to your side and flashed you a smile.

"- Hey Girlie! It's a pleasure to meet you! Y/N, was it?" - He extended a hand what it looked like for you to shake. Instead, as you handed him your hand, he kissed it, like a very adequate gentleman. That made you blush a little, but to your luck you were still wearing that mask of yours.

"- Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Tartgalia. I'm happy to be working with you! To be honest, I'm glad you were chosen as my first person to work with!" - you chirped. You need to gain their trust, since you still can't fully trust them, and the best way to do so is to be open with them! At least that's what you thought.

Tartaglia just laughed to your formalities and responded :

"- There is no need to call me Sir. Tartaglia or Childe is just fine! Anyways, back to the business. For the next month I have a handful of missions in Liyue, so I suppose you'll be coming with me! Are you alright with meeting me at the docks at 11 am tomorrow? We would head off to Liyue from there,"

"-Yes, I shall meet you there then." - you nodded.

Liyue, huh... You've never been to the nation that worships Morax, but nonetheless you were quite excited to visit.

You and Tartaglia chatted for a bit and then you headed back to your room to rest and prepare for the upcoming day. You were still in a bit of a shock that you ended up joining the Fatui - something your parents would be greatly disappointed in. But it was your only option if you wanted to escape your old life. Of course, you'll miss the luxuries of the noble life but that was the price to pay for your own freedom. Without any further hesitations you quickly fell asleep. All of the anxiety and stress really tired you out, and you needed all of the energy possible. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day.
