Standing beside the public, you and Paimon stood there. Aether is not here with you. The murmurs of the crowd could be heard.

And there you saw Ayumi, sitting on her knees on the ground. Her hands were tied behind her back with two of Shogan's men standing beside her with their polearms.

And in front of the omnipresent statue where the visions were put, you saw the god that you were hoping to see. The Raiden Shogan, stood in front of the statue with dull eyes, gazing up at it.

"Paimon, what are we going to do?!??!" You whispered in confusion and anger, Paimon didn't have an answer either, she was just as angry and confused as you are.

The god dressed in purple turned her gaze to Ayumi, her hand reaching out in her distance. You confusingly gazed as her Electro vision starts twitching.

"Wait!" She shouted, the god of eternity paused and gazed down at Ayumi with her dull eyes. "What would you have to say?" The voice of the god was strict and dull, just like her eyes.

"I....uh..Challenge you!!" Ayumi shouted, causing the people to gossip and gasp in shock. "What?!" You gasped, no way!

Ayumi stared up at the Raiden Shogan, she just wanted to stall for some time because her lady would protect her, she was sure of it!

"A challenge?" Ayumi nodded furiously, her eyes showed nervousness and confusion. "Are you sure?!" Paimon accidentally shouted, causing the others to stare at her including Raiden and her men.

"Yes Paimon, I will not let someone walk all over me, the vision is a reward that I will not give back to the gods themselves!" Oh, how motivational was that?

"That shall be it then." Almighty Shogan closed her eyes, pulling out her polearms from her chest, her weapon glowed beautifully yet it showed the bloodshed of the nation.

"Let me go." Ayumi ordered, and they all turned to Shogan for approval, She nodded.

Ayumi now, her hands are now free yet her muscles are quite sore. She took a deep breath in, summoning her weapon
she stood straight.

"I, Ayumi challenge the god of eternity for a duel." Her legs were trembling, she will be the first one to die because of this decree if her lady didn't come fast enough.

Her face showed a confident expression, yet she was like a trembling kitten waiting for her mother. She gulped, taking a stance.

"The battle begins now!" Ayumi thought she had a small chance, a chance as slim as hair.

Ayumi's objective was to protect herself until her lady came, her only objective is to not die. Ayumi blinked, taking a step back. The god of eternity closed her eyes, and suddenly she appeared over her, then her sides, and the last blow hit her internal organs, turning them into dust.

"Ah...My lady..." She whispered, her knees falling to the ground as the only thing you could see on the ground was dust. Ei doesn't know how to cook but she can surely roast someone.

Your eyes widened as a lone tear strays down your cheek, leaving you shook. Paimon cries out, "Buffoon!" She screamed, flying to the fighting range that was as dangerous as putting your face in a gun.

"P-Paimon!" You screeched, running up to her. Paimon stared at the vision on the ground that was in scattered dust, or her body...

"Why did you do that?!?!!" Paimon fell to the ground, her tears wetting the vision, She didn't dare to touch anything she could only stare like the useless child she was.

Enraged eyes turned to her killer, "Do you wish to continue her duel?" With the same fucking dull expression she asked, you were beginning to suspect that she was a robot and didn't have a speck of sympathy.

"N-NO! nononono" She mumbled relentlessly, "N-No.." You mumbled beside her, both of you were a crying mess. The public also mourned, Ayumi was a famous person in Inazuma for her friendliness and now she is gone.

"I se-" "Actually I would like to continue the duel." A familiar voice could be heard, dressed in her old clothing you saw her. Ezra, she was wearing her cloak. Her features were hidden well.

A familiar yet unfamiliar female walked down to the floor, Her dashing gloomy eyes stared at the Raiden shogan. "You see, that women used to work under me. She trusted me....she always did." Ezra mumbled, her eyes fixated on the god.

"I see." Her deathly eyes stared up at her, and she nodded.

"then shall we begin?"

--------------------------------------------

I wrote a one-shot on Ao3 so decided to post it here as well.

It's like Ayaka x Reader and Ayato x Reader. [+ Yandere]

[Cruel destiny]

Only a servant, that's what you were and you forever will be. You worked in the Kamisato estate as the home caretaker alongside Thoma. He was a dear friend of yours and you two got along pretty nicely.

But something very wrong was going on in this estate and you were the mistake. You accidentally got caught in this mistake or, Your thoughts came to a halt as you noticed your lady just finishing her food. "My lady, would you like something?" You asked, keeping a polite attitude. You have worked here after Thoma joined but you were able to witness the tragedy, the death of your lord's father and mother.

But you believed in them, Of course, you would! Why won't you? They are genuinely great people who only want the better for Inazuma and her grace. And in the end, you were also able to observe their fortune, observe their only heaven reach greater heights and you were happier than ever!

Kamisato Ayaka just completed her dinner, "Would you like Thoma to escort you to your room?" You asked, a smile gracing your face, you didn't wish to let your anxiety and fear out.

"No, that won't be necessary." You nodded, finally feeling relieved but the hairs on your neck stand up, "I need your assistance, would you mind accompanying me?" Her face looked innocent and you loathed it, why does it always feel like this even though this isn't even the first time but fear and excitementness is always present.

"My lady, I was not able to get enough sleep last time. Would you mind if I helped you tomorrow, Please?" It was a quiet plea and you were hoping she would not be cruel but unfortunately she was cruel and as cruel as her brother but still innocent in many ways.

"It can't wait." She said coldly, already walking ahead. Once we were far from other servants yet still didn't reach her room she said, "I have observed you thoroughly and you indeed were able to sleep for eight hours. If you don't mind, mind explaining your lies?" Your body freezes up, How will you respond to that?

The "mistake" that you mentioned earlier was the fact that you are getting molested, you sometimes wonder what you actually did to seduce them?

Was it your innocent smile? That they found it too innocent and wanted to ruin it?

Or was it those small glances that you give them to make sure they are alright?

Or maybe they are just twisted.

"Actually I do mind." You mumbled, not wanting to reply. It's not like the outcome will be different anyways. "I see." she mumbled as we reached her chamber.

I opened the gate for her, she walked past you as the scent of her hair lingered in your nose. Your eyes were fixed on the floor as you felt her fingers tugging you and you can't do anything except obey because you are significantly weaker than her, in every way and ultra-weak if you were to be compared to her brother.

You jerked out of your thoughts as you felt a hand on your waist, your waist was soft. "Your body is indeed sculpted by the hand of god." she mumbled, her hand hovering over your body. You felt disgusted, utterly sick to your core.

"M-my lady..." you mumbled, not having the courage to deny her advances. She hummed back, clearly enjoying your body. "If you don't mind.." Her lips brushed your ears as her hand reaches your collar, she fumbled with your buttons making them undone. You gulped, readying yourself for this tortuous night. "I don't like to be used." you wish you could speak that out loud.

Her chest was slammed into yours, she tried to make eye contact but you were averting your gaze, "I desire to gaze into your eyes."

You hesitated for a second before turning your fearful eyes to her, Her gaze was filled with lust and desire, it makes you want to puke. She stared into your eyes before leaning close, closing the gap between you.

"Miss, Please can I go?" You can feel her lifeless gaze burning into you, You felt her breath hit your face. "No."

She leaned close, pressing her lips into yours. Tears welled up in your eyes as you pray to your god. Your breath hitched as she licked your lips, taking the taste and savoring it for eternity.

It was hell, it was repulsive, you felt useless. Did you actually do anything or were they just sick?

"N-no.."

You were relieved when everything ended, finally, you could breathe, and finally, you bathed away her scent off of you. Finally that repulsive feeling is finally off of you. You went to the forests to find peace, closing your eyes to feel pure and calm again but like always, an itch inside you is still itching.

You went back to take a bath again, rubbing the places she touched thousands of times until you finally felt clean and pure.

After the bath, you went to the forest again, you decided to climb on the tree. You looked at the beautiful view, you wanted to be beautiful as the view, pure as the view. These lands nor are the people tainted but why are you?

You leaned into the tree, pressing your head against it. Closing your eyes to dose off. "Heyy!!" You heard the familiar sweet yet annoying voice calling out for you.

You looked down to find the traveler and Paimon staring up at you. You carefully jumped down the tree, dusting your clothes you asked, "It's a pleasure to meet you Paimon and traveler, How have you been?" You politely asked, trying to flash a smile. You still don't feel completely clean, not clean enough to meet the traveler.

"We have been very good! We met many people from other nations! Like Kaveh, Keqing, Lynne, and Klee! It's very nice! And the traveler wanted to visit Inazuma." She explained, clearly excited to see you.

"That's wonderful. If you wish to meet my Lord or lady, I could arrange a meeting for you." You informed them, staring into Paimon's eyes who were smiling with innocence...why? Why is everything so clean, except you?

"Ohhh we don't want to meet Ayato or Ayaka, the traveler actually wanted to meet you!" She explained, you confusingly turned your head to the blond traveler. "Oh is there anything you need from me? Well I don't really have much except a few connections in Fontaine."

Finally, the traveler said, "No, I just wanted to talk to you." You nodded confusingly. "Sure, I am free at the moment."

"Perfect! Then Paimon will leave you two! Hehe." Paimon giggled as she left both of you alone in the forest. "So what do you wish?" Asking the traveler, You noticed the embarrassed expression on the traveler.

"Well...what do you want to talk about." The traveler said, you nodded and decided to start the conversation. "Well.. I am planning to leave my job at Kamisato state, Anyways traveler I know that you are an outlander, which nation are you exactly from?" You were curious about the traveler's life and why they wanted to meet the seven.

"W-well, I am from Mondstadt." They replied, the traveler didn't want to reveal this, at least not now. "Traveler, do you think that I am fit to become a traveler like you?" Out of the blue, you asked, a surprised expression present on their face.

"I mean..you are slightly weak but that can be changed. Hey...would you like to accompany me on my journey?" Your eyes brightened, "Really?!" You brightly smiled for the first time, the traveler always thought that you were always grumpy yet polite but it seems like it is not the case.

Traveler stared at you as you tried to think of many outcomes of this situation. You will finally be free! Your eyes filled with tears as you leaned quickly and hugged the traveler. "Th-thank you.."

The traveler was quite shocked and confused, well the traveler was expecting a rejection even though it was not a true confession but you did trust them meant something to the traveler.

"I-i need some time and I will definitely join you!" You were excited but suddenly noticed your surroundings changing.

You tried to rub your eyes but suddenly noticed the chains on your hands. Your eyes blurred in confusion, "Wh-what?! Who is there? Come out, right this instant!" You tried to sound confident but you still slurred a bit.

"Don't worry, it's me." A masculine voice said, you were hoping to hear any voice except his. "W-why am I here?" You suddenly noticed that you were in the cellar. You have been to this place many times but never expected yourself to be chained here.

"You know, dear." The "dear" was filled with anger but the smirk was still present on your lord's face, Kamisato Ayato.

"I don't!" Gritting your teeth, you said. An amused chuckle could be heard, the voice was feminine, you knew that voice as well. "Try jogging your memory a little, dear."

"You tried to leave us, did you forget that as well? Or maybe the entire conversation with the traveler?" Bitterness could be heard in her voice.

Suddenly you remembered how you said the traveler to wait while you packed your bags and inform your lord and lady.

You gulped nervously, "Wh-Why?" You asked them, tearing up. You felt two fingers brushing your tears away.

"The true question should be why not?"
