Stellar reunion

By Udit Aggarwal

The world of Teyvat is home to seven distinct nations, each of which is tied to a different element and ruled by a different God.

The story begins with twin siblings, Lumine and Aether, going on a journey of exploring other worlds. They explored many worlds before reaching Tevyat, a world of undreamed wonders. But when it is time to leave this world and travel to another, their path is blocked by an unknown Goddess, the sustainer of heavenly principles. A great battle is fought amongst them. In the end, the Goddess ends up separating the twins by defeating and trapping them in Tevyat.

Both of them ended up in different places seeking each other. The Goddess sealed their powers and both of them were not able to use them. Aether woke up and found himself lying next to an ocean. He soon learned about daily necessities and started living as a normal human. One day, he was fishing and accidentally pulled out a different child-looking creature from the ocean. When he woke up, his panic was seen all around. Aether tried to calm him down and asked his name. The boy introduced himself as Paimon. He turned out to be a great companion and a wonderful guide. He guided him to the city of freedom, Monstadt. There they met many people and made a lot of friends. They met the God of Wind (Anemo) Venti and befriend him. Venti asked him about his sister but he didn’t know anything about her. He advised him to move to Liyue, the city of contracts as he could find something there. Aether made some more friends and they guided him to Zhongli, the God of land (Geo).

Geo told him that he would tell them where she is, but for that he will have to bring all the gnosis (power source from Celestia) of the Gods, even Venti. They headed off for his gnosis. When they reached Monstadt, they confronted Venti. The battle started and Venti gave a critical strike. Aether realised that his powers were gone before the battle and when he was about to die. He suddenly remembered old times with his sister and regained his powers. When Venti was about to die, he gave them the gnosis and they headed off for the gnosis. They confronted all of the Gods in thirst for power and to get his sister back. After getting all the gnosis, he gave them to Zhongli. He consumed the gnosis and became more powerful than ever.

Later, Zhongli said that he knew that only Aether could do it because Paimon told him about the power Aether had. He felt the same betrayal as when he betrayed Venti. His guilt took over him, and he couldn’t move his arms and also use his powers. He looked behind and saw Venti, who said, “You mere mortal, we Gods are immortal. How dare you look down on us?” All the other Gods suddenly appeared in a flash. The God Paimon snapped her fingers and Lumine suddenly appeared in a cage and saw Aether trembling in fear. Lumine was crying, she wanted to save her brother but she couldn’t. The Gods casted the most dangerous spell trapping Aether and Lumine both in an endless Abyss with soul-eating creatures trapped inside for eternity. In the end, the siblings said, “Was this our destiny?”
