Being the outcast of the Seven was never easy. Neither was being judged for his drinking habits, or thought by others to take everything for granted, not deserving his position between the Seven. 

But what helped was that they never pronounced those thoughts aloud, so Barbatos could act as if he never noticed the cold stares, the judging looks. 

That was until he came in late to one of their most important meeting. 

So what happens when Barbatos goes missing, and the only sign that he is alive is the slow and steady beating of his gnosis, connected to the other archons'? 

~

Or an AU where the Original Seven are still alive and never died, and judge Barbatos too harshly. 

But we still love them.

PS: as of the 2.6 update, which is the time I started writing this fanfic, we know nothing of the former archons, we still didn't meet the new ones, thus why they might be ooc, but for the sake of the story, we're going to ignore it.
I just changed the name of the Dendro Archon to her original one because, for those who will see this in the futur, this fanfic wasn't posted when 3.0 came out, so it was easy for me to just put Rukkhadevata instead of Kusanali :)

As we progressed in game with the Sumeru Archon Quest, I slowly started to accommodate with the names, but I left out a part of the lore, only using an information I need from the last cutscene, but you should still beware of spoilers!!!

Before Kujuo Sara, there was another, another commanding force that raised his sword and valor in the Electro Archon's name. He who was known as the "Serpent Hand." A commanding general above all military ranks in the shogunate and personal guard of the Archon herself after Yae Miko. And at the same time, he was the first to cause an uproar against the Vision Hunt Decree. A soul who felt betrayed by the one divine being who he swore to never leave and always protect. Hadeki was Raiden's most trusted commander. His most remarkable fact to the people was that the Electro Archon would always speak and interact with him on a personal level. The trust she put in a mere mortal was baffling to some, equally to him as well in the beginning. But now, he was on the run. A burning resentment drove him to fight the Shogun herself and flee after a failed attempt. Swearing that if he were to ever return, he'd finish the job. But he wasn't aware of the lingering regret and pain the Archon felt when this parting had taken place. Was she truly hurt by his leave? Did she feels as though she shouldn't have attacked you? A mere ruckus of a human? How will these two meet again? And how will this meet end? !!-- This story may not be very lore accurate and I'm aware of that.

"i am not and will never be raiden makoto, i know that." the vessel slowly blinked her shimmer-lacking eyes as she stared at the electro archon who knelt defeated on the ground. the air felt heavy and the silence would've been deafening if it weren't for the rushed puffs of breath leaving her own mouth. breathing now appeared to have become a habit that she's built. if she weren't a mere vessel, this realm would've definitely caused her to pass out from the nauseating atmosphere and lack of fresh air.

[discontinued] I almost forgot to say this but.. This is NOT a Genshin x F!y/n fic! There are ships is this fic, just not with Y/N. Sorry if that disappointed you. (Maybe some flirting tho but that's not confirmed yet) ______________________________ (Y/N) walks out of the building of their workplace, exhausted from work. While crossing the street, (Y/N) started to get dizzy. Next thing they know (truck-kun comes), they feel intense pain throughout there whole body. .... "What is your wish my child?" "I want to be reincarnated into my favorite game, "Genshin impact." (wow so original 😒) ______________________________ I changed the canon events to how I wanted it to be so uh you'll probably get confused. I used Gacha Club for y/n so I remember her design and so you can see what they look like. Male and Female but I'm probably gonna focus more on the female part.(i should just call it fem!y/n) ______________________________ (COVER ART IS not MINE)
