“I’ll do anything.” Childe says it in a low voice, so hushed that Lumine almost doesn’t catch it, but she does, and the words ignite a fire in her.
“Whatever you ask of me, I’ll do it,” he adds.
Lumine is faced with a choice between lesser evils: to take a monster's life, or let him go and risk destruction and chaos.
Witnessing the slow, excruciating pain of Childe succumbing to a poison of her own doing fills Lumine with a dread that threatens to consume her whole.
Childe is given a mission by the Tsaritsa to stop the Abyss Order’s leader down in the Far South. There, he meets a familiar face, and his duty as Fatui Harbinger becomes a heavy burden he must carry.
An AU where Princess Lumine of the Abyss Order and master swordswoman Skirk are one and the same.
