Chapitre 21: The Fatui Are WHAT!?
"Holy shit..." Aether cursed hearing what happened in the Abyss, "Are you sure that was my sister?" He asked, refusing to believe that was correct.
Sibley nodded in response, "Her name is Lumine, and looked exactly like you." She recalled, certain it was her.
This information made Aether put his hand on his face, "Paimon thinks that Celestia just absolutely sucks." She commented, hearing how it was basically Celestia's fault that this is happening.
At that comment, Sibley could only nod, "It does, I can understand why the Fatui have the main objective of destroying it..." She said, remembering what Scaramouche and Arlecchino told her, but then she also realized that they said a Dawn Breaker has the power to destroy Celestia.
Looking down at her staff, Sibley pointed it up to the flying island, thinking she could just finish it right there and then, but she stopped the moment she heard the familiar voice of Shiva Samba in her head, "Not yet Sibley, soon, but not now." She said in the Dawn Breaker's head, before going away.
"-ley? Sibley?" Aether was saying, checking his friend's lucidity, "Are you okay?" He asked, "You just froze looking up." He explained, not knowing what Sibley was just told.
Giving her head a shake, Sibley gave Aether a thumbs up, "Just realized that I... Don't worry." She reassured the traveler, "Just... Something cam up to mind" She explained with a slight smile.
Right when she said that, someone approached, Sibley noticed and recognized that it's Scaramouche, "So you were heading here." She commented, remembering how much in a hurry he was to get a boat.
"Yeah, my mission was to distribute Delusions to the resistance against the rule of the Shogun." Scaramouche explained before narrowing his eyes, "You know what the objective was." He said, remembering how Sibley was aware of it.
That made the Dawn Breaker recall what she was told, "Either take all the Gnosis to have enough power to destroy Celestia, or attract a Dawn breaker to destroy it." She stated to confirm she did remember.
At that Scara nodded, his eyes still narrowed, "And just as the Tsaritsa said, you became one." He pointed out, "That means that you can destroy Celestia." He informed, surprising everyone else there.
"W-wait, but even me and my sister at our full power couldn't defeat ONE of what I assume to be a soldier from Celestia!" Aether pointed out, "But here you are telling me that one Dawn Breaker can destroy Celestia without any problems?" He questioned, his expression a mix of shock and fear.
The Harbringed gave him a look, "You do feel like you're way more powerful than you were when we first met, but I can assure you a Dawn Breaker is infinitely more powerful." He confirmed before turning back to Sibley, "But since a Dawn Breaker has appeared here in Teyvat... The job of the Fatui is finished." He stated.
That sentence confused Sibley a bit, "Finished?" She repeated questioningly, "What do you mean finished?" She asked, not understanding what he meant.
Scaramouche sighed at question, "The Fatui were founded because of Celestia." He started, "You know about Khaenri'ah, but you ONLY know about Khaenri'ah, Celestia did many more things, the cataclysm caused the death of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, the previous Dendro Archon, and the death of the previous Hydro Archon, Egeria." He explained.
"You know? The more I learn about Celestia, the more I just think of how fun it'll be to drown it." Sibley commented, "And specifically drown it!" She emphasized.
With how drowning was emphasized, Aether coughed in his hand, "Yeah, Celestia is atrocious, but that can't just be it right?" He asked, "From what I'm seeing, Celestia has been quiet for a long time." He pointed out.
In response, Scaramouche only shook his head, "That's the upfront part." He stated, "As her Majesty explained, before the cataclysm Egeria transformed Oceanids into humans to grant their wish to live as ones, these are the current inhabitants of Fontaine." He explained, "As you might have guessed, Celestia wasn't happy about that and proceeded to curse the throne of the Hydro Archon so that Fontaine and it's inhabitants would be destroyed." He revealed.
"The Hydro Archon granted the wishes of her people and got punished because of it!?" Paimon exclaimed in shock, "That is so unfair!!" She added with an angered tone.
Sibley put her hand on her face, "Has the Cataclysm happened yet?" She asked, feeling her temperature rise due to the anger.
"Luckily, it won't ever happen." Scaramouche reassure, "And that's thanks to one of your colleagues removing the curse, the Tsaritsa said she never felt so afraid in her whole life..." He recalled, feeling a little afraid himself.
Aether raised a finger at that part, "Wouldn't that mean that she made this plan because she saw that?" he pointed out.
Scaramouche let out a chuckle at that, "Figured it out pretty quickly haven't you?" He asked sarcastically, "But that also means that the Fatui don't have any reason to remain active." He informed.
That last bit of information made the three freeze in place, "Paimon thinks she heard wrong..." She said, "Did you just say that the Fatui... Are disbanding?" She asked, surprise evident on her face.
"That remains to be seen, after all the Fatui are still Snezhnaya's strongest political and military force." The Harbringer pointed out, "So at the very least, they will be turned into a more... Peaceful organization.'" He explained.
"So we won't have to fight any more Fatui members?" Aether asked, thinking it would make traveling much easier for them.
"That's right, but I have my own plans, so you'll probably not be seeing me as a Harbringer anymore." Scaramouche informed, "But there is something I should warn you about, there is one Harbringer that doesn't care for peace, and the Tsaritsa already had him sentenced for execution, but he escaped, so remember, watch out for Dottore." He warned before turning to leave.
As they watched Scara leave, they noticed that Akemi approached followed by a woman dressed in pink, "I was so caught in Scaramouche's explanation I didn't even notice you left..." Sibley commented.
Akemi waved that off, "Don't worry, I went to get someone that can help with the now." She explained, pointing to the pink woman, "After all, I'm sure you also noticed how weird the Shogun felt right?" She asked, but really already knew the answer.
