Chapter 1 - An Interesting Discovery
And before anyone asks. I'm still not sure about the genderbends but most likely no. Also forgot to say, the characters that are related to the story quests will act like NPCs.
--------------------------------------------------------------
-3D POV-
Our scene opens to a nice day. It was early afternoon and many people were working hard. Our attention though, shift to the so called traveler, Lumine and her companion Paimon.
Paimon: Why do you think Sucrose called us traveler?
Lumine:...
Paimon: Oh come on traveler. It's not big deal that you didn't get Master Jean. You'll get lucky next time.
Lumine: Paimon please shut up. I spent all of my primogems for her and still didn't get her. Right now let's focus on the matter at hand.
Soon enough they were now going up Dragonspine to the top where Sucrose was waiting for them. And with a little bit of trouble because of the wind they finally reached the top where they saw Sucrose already waiting for them. They approached her and Sucrose spoke.
Sucrose: It's good to see you again traveler.
Lumine: Hello again Sucrose. Catherine told me that you needed my help.
Sucrose: Yes. Please follow me.
She started lead them a bit down the dragonspine and into one of its smaller caves. Meanwhile while walking she told the two about the discovery.
Sucrose: At first when I found it I thought that it was some kind ancient runes or something similar but after a bit of cleaning I found something.
Paimon: Wait why did you have to clean them?
Sucrose: To read them better of course. Anyway, when I cleaned them I realized that in reality there was a big stone doors with strange symbols on the center. The same symbols that you have, traveler. We're here.
She then led them to a wall that if you looked close enough would in reality be a door. And it surprised Lumine that Sucrose was right. In the middle of the door were 2 symbols that she has on her dress and they were surrounded by flowers that she has on her head. (These 2)
Paimon: Whoa they do look the same!
Lumine: 'But how. I clearly remember that I haven't visited this world yet'
Lumine walked closer to the doors and when she touched it something happened that they weren't expecting. The doors opened. When they looked inside they saw that it was a small cave with a lot of holes in the walls. The cave itself was being dimly lit by a small fire from a small, old and broken chandelier. Lumine took out her sword and Sucrose prepared to help her as they walked in. Upon walking in and looking around they saw that the cave had nothing special except 4 stone tablets with an unknown writing on them. They approached those to take a look when suddenly from one of the holes a small ball of light flew out and spoke with a male voice.
BoL: Who are you?
Paimon: Eeeep! It talks!
Sucrose: How interesting.
Lumine: Who are you?
BoL: I- I don't remember, it has been so long since I've been outside. I stayed here, hoping that someone will come after us, but no one did.
Lumine: Then do you know about these tablets?
BoL: I do. If I remember they lead to something. But I don't remember what, it's been too long. Me and the others were tasked in guarding them but in time we lost our strength. Previously we were like you, humans, but purely made out of light. But as our power faded, so did our bodies. All that is left is a little fragment.
Sucrose: I'm sorry to hear that.
BoL: It's okay. Please take the tablets. Maybe you'll find someone who can understand them. I would love to help but sadly, my time is up.
With that the ball of light became smaller and smaller till it just wanished.
Lumine: I wonder how long they have been in here.
Sucrose: I don't know but his story sounded sad. Just looking at all of these holes I can tell there were a lot of them.
-Lumine POV-
I walked over to the tablets and when I put them in the inventory and tried to see their description it said the same thing.
[An ancient tablet. The writing on it seems to be of unknown origin]
Sucrose: 56.
I was broken out of my thoughts when she said that and I looked at her.
Lumine: Huh?
Sucrose: I counted 56 holes. It means there were 56 of them trapped in here.
Paimon: That's so sad. Traveler can you read them?
Lumine: No. I'll go and ask Lisa. Maybe she knows or has something related to these things.
Sucrose: I'll come with you. It may be a huge discovery.
I nodded and we headed out of the cave. As soon as we did though the cave fully collapsed. Guess we got lucky. I added Sucrose to the party and we teleported to Mondstadt and went straight to Lisa. Upon arriving to the library we saw her sitting at her desk reading a book.
Paimon: Hey miss Lisa.
Lisa: Oh hello cutie, hello Sucrose.
Sucrose: Hello.
Lumine: Lisa I have a question. *takes out one of the tablets and puts it on the table* Have you seen anything like this writing?
Lisa: Hmmm, let's see.
She looked at the tablet for a few minutes and then looked back at me.
Lisa: I think I have something about it. Wait here.
She left and then came back a few moments later with a book that was wrapped in something. She then closed the curtains and started to open it.
Paimon: Umm, why did you close the curtains?
Lisa: So the book wouldn't get burned because tes very easy to destroy it. This is one of the oldest books that I have and it's still surprising that it haven't turned to ash. This book has some information about the times even before the Archon war. And while reading through it I found some similar symbols that are on the tablet.
She finished unwrapping it and then carefully opened the oldest book I've ever seen. She then slowly and carefully went a few pages and stopped on one.
Lisa: Here it is. Look.
We looked at it and saw that it was a dictionary? It had the symbols and next to them were different letters.
Sucrose: Wow, with this we can read the tablets! Traveler put them on the floor.
I did as she said and she along with Lisa started to write something on the separate pieces of paper. After a while they were done.
Lisa: And that's the last one. Here look what we got. I have the first and second while Sucrose got third and fourth.
They gave the papers to me and I read them out loud.
1st tablet: The first fragment took shelter at the top of the stairway to the stars.
2nd tablet: The second fragment was brought and put into the coldest of ice.
3rd tablet: The third fragment has found shelter inside the elder tree surrounded by winds of peace.
4th tablet: The fourth fragment resides in a person's soul. Once the choice is made, it shall reveal itself.
Lisa: Interesting. They sound like locations for the said fragments. Yet I can't think of any of them.
Sucrose: Same with me.
Lumine: Ugh, I need a break. I'll go eat something and think about it later.
Sucrose: Okay, I'll stay here. I want to take a look at this book a bit more if I can.
Lisa: Of course. But please be extra careful.
Paimon: Paimon will go fly around.
I nodded and left to Good Hunter. While walking I couldn't get the writings out of my head. Fragments. Stairway to stars. Coldest of ice. The elder tree. Persons soul. The second maybe has something to do with Snezhnaya. It's the coldest there. The third is probably talking about the tree at Windrise but it said that the fragment is inside, how can I get it out then. Ugh! It's too much. I then saw a new quest so I opened it and saw the name.
[The mysterious tablets]
[The tablets spoke about the fragments and told about their location. Unfortunately they didn't say where exactly]
[Task: Find all the fragments and see what happens]
[Progress:
1st fragment: 0/1
2nd fragment: 0/1
3rd fragment: 0/1
4th fragment: 0/1
Hint: The tablets explained the places where the fragments are]
Well of course they did! But I need to figure it out! Damn it!
