Archons (⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/

You were once a god, from the days before the Archon wars, but you were imprisoned underground in the depths of Sumeru, left to your fate.

Nahida, while passing through the outskirts of Sumeru, sensed the faint presence of a god, so she called the other Archons to join her in investigating. Nahida walked excitedly, eager to see such an ancient god. Mavuika also felt very confident. Ei decided to join them to eliminate the god if necessary, as she believed the hidden god could pose a threat to the seven. Venti and Zhongli also came, they were a little stressed by a god as old as the two of them, one who presumably existed since the Archon Wars. Furina joined too; she didn't want to be left behind.

Nahida and Mavuika walked first, quite intrigued, Ei walked second, tense and ready for a surprise attack. Venti was in the middle of the group and his whistling echoed in the cave. Zhongli and Furina were in the back, as Furina was afraid of being attacked, and Zhongli acted as a rear guard.

— Nahida: "What a long cave, to think that Celestia threw them so far away."

— Mavuika: "Yes, it must be very strong!"

— Venti: "Not necessarily, you know. The celestial principles and their sustainer enclose others for many reasons besides force…"

— Ei: "Can you stop whistling, Barbatos? That's a serious matter…"

— Venti: "Ehe~"

— Zhongli: "Both of you, calm down, we should focus on the matter at hand."

— Ei: "I still believe we should destroy that god the moment we see him; such a threat cannot be underestimated."

— Furina: "Oh, why did I join...? I should have stayed in Fontaine!"

Zhongli: "Don't worry Furina, I'm sure the six of us can handle any threat out here."
