"granny, granny! can you tell us about the sonus nympha?" A kid asked as she was tucked in by her grandma "dear, you already heard the story so many times"
"Just one last time! i promiseeee!" it whined, tthe old lady smiled softly
(in this story, Traveler is the fifth descendant)
the sonus nympha, one of the most mysterious constellations on teyvat's night sky, if not the most mysterious one, This constellation had mysteriously just appeared in the night sky.
when?
about 800 years ago when the 3rd descender had fallen from teyvat, in which not only did the land had been shaken by just how powerful the entity had fallen to the strange and mythical world, The seas creating such violent waves that not even the Hydro archon could control, it was simply a terror
the gods of teyvat had feared that this was the sign of Celestia becoming even more displeased, they had expected they'd turn to dust yet none of the gods that lived on Celestia showed up, not even reacting to the commotion down below
but that night wasnt just about that traumatizing event, it was also where a golden star had fallen, such vibrancy was even seen from all nations due to how radiating it was, when it had landed in the ocean in mondstat.
there arose another god, a descender, and an observer who was as powerful as celestia. If not more.
she thought to herself, why is she here? on such low tech and old world? she could feel the energy waves of what humans called magic in her world
she could see the brightly lit up stars on the skies, the birds chirping louder than what shes used to, it was defeaning yet so nostalgic, she looked up to the sky as she remembers her last memory
"the remaining gods have abandoned me, heh impressive on how they can get rid of someone so powerful down by pushing them out of their world'
she grinned, not hiding her expression of being impressed due to not only her getting defeated but also because of how they failed to realize.
A god like her exactly wanted this, she knew they were planning this the moment she had turned her back on that door,
-------
for the goddess, it was time to set a new path, no worshippers, no stories, no information and simply no rules for her new life.
she, who has descended, shall be free to choose her fate and destination, wherever it may be.
-------
the old lady finished her story and slightly smiled when she saw her grand daughter sleeping ever so peacefully, silence was all she could hear as she quietly got out of her grand child's room
going to the balcony, she sat on her rocking chair, she remembered all her doings as she stares off the distant city of mondstat, she remembers being a curious girl from a wealthy family but she didnt want fortune, only freedom so she ran away.
"ah, those youthful days of mine."
the old lady reminisced of herself being young, adventurous and careless
a soft jingling noises from the wind had stopped her from thinking, there stood a figure of a cloaked person from the field, the maroon fabric with the hair strands that was visible swaying with the wind.
she could see the woman grinning before bowing, going back deeper to the forest.
ah, the relief she felt the moment she saw her savior and her first friend
----------
"(Name)! where have you been?" a red haired female said "i was worried you were captured" Vanessa said "ill be fine even if i was, it wont even leave a scratch on me" you said as your hood fell, revealing your whole face to its glory.
"what were you even doing out there this late?" Vanessa asked, putting her hands on her waist, waiting for your answer
"i got to visit one of the few people i wanted to see for a while" you admitted, grinning widely ear to ear.
in fact that old lady was once the woman you saved in your first tine exploring teyvat, time is such a fast yet slow agonizing process, isnt it?
To the people of teyvat who heard that glorious and scary moment, it was something out of this world and a mere fairytale but to people who got to experienced, it was life changing, some seen this as a sign of hope and freedom, some see it as a tragedy, some stood tall to fight and took it as a sign of a new beginning.
The sonus nympha, Sign of the mew god, new beginning where the ocean quarreled, the wind singing with pride, the earth shakening and the sky lighting up.
This sign may have been a mystery even till today to why it appeared suddenly
it was a sign that even how much tine passes, youll still be there alone and unchanging and time would pass you by too quickly
and that you couldn't change tou were the god of music and Affirmations
