End of the Beginning~Ateez

Eons ago

Aftermath of the battle

"I refuse to side with Celestia or Abyss! I will side with the humans and the vision wielders." I yelled.

"We are sorry." Tsaritsa apologizes.

"The abyss never was meant to rule." Aether realized.

"Indeed, the gods also shall not have authority over Teyvat." Replied Pierro.

"We no longer wish for dominion, from now on our only shared goal is to protect our people." Admits Zhongli.

"I want to go home, for real this time." I whispered.

This is it, the end of my journey across Teyvat.

Dainsleif and Aether waited patiently for me in front of the portal among the sea of cecilias.

"I really have to go." I sniffed.

"We understand." Replied the 7 archons.

Zhongli and Venti had tears cornering their eyes.

Ei was crying too. Tsaritsa looked away and cried only a little.

The people and archons from the 7 nations wanted to give us their gifts before we left.

Xiao suddenly walked up to me, "I'm leaving with you." He declares.

"Me too!" Replied Itto determinedly.

"Me three." Replied Childe.

"Me four." Replied Baizhu, walking forward.

Shocked gasps and murmurs among the 7 nations' people and even the two archons.

"You're leaving Teyvat too, Xiao?" Asked Venti, sad.

"Yeah, where she goes, I follow." Replied the Adeptus.

"Zhe yang ye hao 这样也好。 ("That would be great too" in Mandarin)," replied Zhongli, "it's best you take one of us with you across your future travels." Nodded Zhongli.

"Thank you, my lord, may we meet again." Replied Xiao as he bowed to Zhongli and took my hand.

Venti was sobbing uncontrollably and Zhongli had to hold him for a bit.

Childe was sobbing too.

Amber, Jean, and Diluc were sniffing a little too.

Scaramouche and Kazuha had tears cornering their eyes as they placed their gifts.

"We're coming with you guys too." Scara and Kazuha say.

Beidou placed a small jar of wine in front of us.

"Hope we meet you in your future travels." She laughed before sniffing a little.

Razor, Bennett, and Fischl placed their gifts as well.

"For you to keep warm." Replied Razor as he dropped a scarf made out of shedded wolf fur.

Bennett and Fischl gave us a small crystal.

Baizhu and Qiqi gave us some traveling herbs.

Zhongli gave us an ancient Liyue treasure.

Venti gifted us a figure of Dvalin.

Keqing gifted us 2 figures of Rex Lapis.

Tsaritsa gifted an ice-themed tiara, "Dottore helped pick the color." She whispered with a small smile.
