La Signora despite being startled by this strange man kept her composure, her arrogant demeanor showed.
"You dare trespass on my property!,do you even know who I am?!" said La Signora.
But unfortunately for her, Eldrin did not need her conscious for what he was about to do, and karate-chopped her in the neck making her lose consciousness.
Sigh~
"What to do with you now, I really don't see much of a way out for you, even before your execution you remained arrogant"though Eldrin troubled and couldn't help but mutter.
"How could a love story turn so tragic, making you into what you are now?"
But then Eldrin thought of an idea, it had been 500 years since her lover died, what if his soul is still there?
Eldrin then teleported into the rumored location of Rostam's death and by some holy miracle, his soul was still there, even in death he was unwilling to part ways with his lover,Eldrin then molded the shadows and used them to construct a vessel, and using black magic the vessel was given the capability to hold life.
Eldrin manipulated his soul and put it inside the vessel, and then teleported with the now alive but unconscious Rostam to La Signora's property.
Eldrin raised his hand and spoke, " I will rid you of your curse, rid of your suffering, give you a new life, a better life, La Signora is no more. What will remain is the woman who fell in love, the woman who held hope, and most importantly, the woman with a future, a happy future."
Eldrin took both unconscious figures and teleported through the portal that connected the two worlds.
He then walked out of the underground base unhindered and flew towards the sky with the two unconscious figures in his embrace towards one of his villas gifted by Erskine throughout the years, though he did not use it, he preferred his wooden cabin.
After he got inside, he gently put the two figures in the bed and made a phone call,after a few minutes of getting some necessities for them, he spoke again his words carrying black magic.
"You both fought side by side in the Cataclysm 500 years ago, but instead of dying you were transported into a different world to live a peaceful life"said Eldrin, and with a gentle smile said.
"I wish you both a great life, a wonderful one even,farewell."
After a few hours, Eldrin has already left and gone back to Teyvat, the two previously unconscious figures yawned and woke,they felt as if they had taken the greatest nap in their whole life.
Rosalyne looked around in panic and shouted.
"Rostam!"
But then a sleepy voice answered.
"I'm here ,just five more minutes please."
Rosalyne pouted, but relieved seeing that they had survived,but then she realised something, where were they?
Back into teyvat
Somewhere in Snezhnaya.
There was a man with his hands behind his back, he looked old yet sharp, half his face was covered by a mask, and he was clad in a noble white outfit.
"You remind me of someone I fought in the past,he was a man who just like you failed to prevent tragedy, and took it upon themselves to make sure it never happens again"said Eldrin with his hands behind his back and continued.
"He would go as far as to sacrifice his own daughter to fulfill his destiny or purpose"and turned to look at the unfazed Piero.
"His intentions were noble indeed, but his actions were not, yet he believed himself to be right, and in a twisted way, he was"
Eldrin with a smile said.
"The hardest choices require the strongest wills, that's what he said"
"But the reality is that in the end, you would have caused more chaos than peace,the bodies that will accumulate by the war against the heavenly principles will be enough to make a stair towards calestia itself,and in the end you may even fail"
Peiro looked at Eldrin like he was seeing a highly naive kid and answered.
"Below every kingdom lay's a foundation of bodies and blood, that's the reality of this world, I have seen it with my own eyes,the peace you see now is due to the sacrifices of many millions, in the grand scheme of things, what's a few million more, if that's what it takes to overthrow the heavenly principles then so be it"
Eldrin looked him in the eyes.
"This is not a war between mortals Piero, you're fighting the gods of this world who hold absolute authority, you have a better chance at defeating all Archons than a single heavenly principle."and continued.
''Without the help of a descender, your failure is almost certain,the primordial one could wake up at any moment, although weakened, a god is still a god"Eldrin did not believe that the mere seven Gnosis could defeat even a weakened Heavenly principles,he had sensed their power, and it's no exaggeration to say that they still posses enough power to wipe out the fatui, even with the power of the third descender.
In the game, perhaps there was a possibility, but this is not a game, this is reality, unexpected things could still happen.
But Piero's gaze turned resolute.
"Words will not stop me from achieving my goal."
"No, but actions will"answered Eldrin while grabbing Piero by the shoulder and teleporting him directly to Calestia.
"Observe for yourself, the true might of a god, a weakened one at that."said Eldrin and continued
"This is what you are up against, no mere Archon, nor a mere descender,but one who holds absolute authority over all of teyvat itself; your fate is literally in their hands."
He turned to look at the grim Piero and said.
"What you truly need to defeat them, is a power beyond even them, beyond teyvat, beyond descenders"Eldrin raised his hand, and the whole sky turned dark, from outside the artificial sky; half of all teyvat could be seen being covered by a dark carpet.
