Bringing the guests 2
From the Knights of Favonius to the Fatui Harbingers, all felt the primordial bloodlust that radiated from the figure. The veterans of the Archon War felt the sheer familiar malice that threatened their lives on a daily basis. For the disguised Archons, all of them prepared themselves except for Zhongli who lowered his spear, causing his old friend Barbatos to do the same.
"Pwah!" A head of a child popped out of the form-fitting black coat the figure wore with a mop of silky dark hair and a pair of bright dark eyes. "Cerby, is this war crime heaven?"
Everyone stared at the child in shock. The fact that a young child, a toddler, was capable of shrugging off the primordial malice that emanated from the curtain of darkness was terrifying.
"Kid, I am going to have a talk with your parents," the figure said as he unzipped his coat, allowing the toddler to escape the protective cloth as the curtain of darkness closed. All of them felt another shock when the child stood in the air with a white sleeveless robe with stone-colored arms, divinity radiated off her form, yet for the Adepti, it was only a fraction of the presence of Morax.
"But you promised we'll go to war crime heaven!" The child said, stomping the air with a pout as the figure zipped his cloak up.
"Did you even do your homework?" The figure asked, focusing on the child who nodded. "Good, Anemo." The figure called out to Reena who let out a sigh. "Why is the Archon Hall covered in a seven-element layer barrier? It's not time for Pyro to Duel Khorne or something,"
"Cerberus," Reena greeted kindly. "We have guests,"
"I know, but I don't care," Cerberus said
Thwack!
A replica of Vortex Vanquisher whacked the figure's head and it was done by the toddler.
"Respect mah Authoritah!" The toddler cried out only to cry when Cerberus gently lowered his fist on her head.
"You're five," Cerberus reminded as he picked up the girl by the scruff of her sleeveless robe similar to a cat.
"No! Let me go! Stinky!" the child said, trying her best to be loosened from the man's grip.
"Behave or no interdimensional travel for a week," With those words, the child crossed her arms with a pout and looked away. The audience could only watch in shock as the girl disappeared in an amber flash causing the figure to sigh as he too disappeared in an amber flash.
"Who was that?!" Paimon asked, wondering what just happened.
"That was Cerberus and Reese," Reena said with a smile. "Reese is Cerberus' apprentice of sorts in the mastery of the Adeptus arts, despite being born as a human,"
"Those were Adeptus arts?!" Cloud Retainer asked, "This one has never thought that the Adeptus arts could be used at such a level,"
"Cerberus is a special case," Reena said, remembering the sheer bullshit that the enigmatic figure could do with a single sigil. "His mastery of the Adeptus art was similar to a regular mortal at first but circumstances have allowed him to reach great heights,"
"And how strong can this Cerberus be, lady?" Tartaglia asked with a flirtatious smile, not noticing how Makoto's hand itched towards a sword.
"Cerberus, with the right motivation and preparation can probably take out all of us, if he incapacitated the Dendro archon quickly enough," Reena said, looking at the Dendro Archon, who felt a bit shy at the sudden attention.
"As expected that only Buer would be the only one to stand a chance," Wanderer said, not showing any pride. Not at all.
"What about you?" Tartaglia asked, not noticing how Ei tried to stop her sister. Lumine saw this and thought about the stories about the kind and gentle Makoto were bullshit.
"Well-,"
Reese Crozzo reappeared in an amber flash, accidentally burying the Fatui Harbinger under a stone monument as she balanced herself on it. "Ha! Victory!"
The sight of the stone monument caused some questions in the heads of the people of Liyue.
"Where's Cerberus?" Ningguang asked, remembering the name of the figure that just disappeared.
"I trapped Stinky!" Reese said with a smile as she formed an amber projection. It showed the dark-cloaked figure of Cerberus rubbing his head he stared at a figure that the Adepti and Zhongli knew well. Osial along with his wife and child. Sighing, the hooded figure raised his hand, letting a familiar creation appear in his hand, The memory of dust. The projection ended when Reese stumbled and fell on her butt as the black cloak she wore disappeared, leaving her in a replica of March's clothes. "Ooh, woozy," The child said as her eyes swirled at the amount of power she just used.
"Where is he?" Reena asked as she held a hand out as a projection of a tree appeared and narrowed into a branch, "You trapped him in a Teyvat that is still in the Archon War?!" Reena asked her cousin in shock.
"Whooo! Pretty colors," Reese replied as she fell off the monument and landed on the floor unscathed.
"... I will never know how father managed to live for as long as he did," Reena said, picking the child off the floor while ignoring the buried Tartaglia on the ground.
"Are we just going to ignore how a child trapped someone during a war?!" Paimon shrieked as she wrapped her head around what just happened.
"No need to worry about him," the consultant of the Wangshen Funeral parlor said. "A master of the Adeptus arts, even a human, is capable of matching the gods. There are a lot of manuscripts and texts that detail so and with him managing to arrive in this place, then his skills are up to match,"
"But what about that child?" Madame Ping said as she looked worried for the child. "Her abilities reminded me of lord Morax,"
"Could she be?" Keqing asked, looking at the passed-out form of Reese in Reena's arms.
"Heads up!" Another portal appeared as Seele caught Bronya in her arms as they fell, landing on the ground with Gepard helping Serval while Hook and Clara were helped by Natasha and Svarog respectively.
At the same time, the members of the Loufo appeared with Jing Yuan raising his brow at the theater.
"Wow! A theater!" March said as she looked around.
"Big sis March!" Reese cried out, regaining her energy as she jumped off Reena's arms and ran towards March. The cutest girl on the express smiled as she hugged Reese.
"Hello, Reese! You look cuter in person! You even copied me!" March said with a grin, hugging the niece of her fellow trailblazer with a smile.
"Kuru Kuru," Herta whispered as a stone monument smacked her.
"Hello, Reese," Stelle said, smiling at the niece of her companion.
"Little one," Dan Heng said, looking at his newest and official adoptive niece.
"This place is beautiful," Asta said as she looked around, enjoying each new sight she came across.
"Peppy, slow down!" Arlan cried out.
Fu Xuan, blushed as she scrambled to hide a magazine with a photo of a man that looked like a male, brown-haired version of Reena. Seeing this, the goofy mahjong Gremlin grinned.
"Stelle, March, Dan Heng," Serval said, greeting her friends with a smile.
"March!" The voice of Cerberus echoed in the entire express as a pink-haired girl exited from a teacup with a young man following her.
"A Serenitea pot?" Lumine whispered at the sight of another thing like her home.
"Can't catch me!" March said with a smile as the trailblazers did a series of high-speed maneuvers, trying to catch each other.
"Give me back my Journal!" Cerberus shouted as he jumped in his Serenitea pot after the girl.
"Fighting again?" Himeko asked, smiling at the sight of the Former Archon and the girl of ice chasing each other. "They are starting to act like siblings,"
"That is quite accurate," Welt Yang said with a smile. "Cerberus' family often adopted a lot of people and they get along quite well," Fixing his glasses, the former Herrscher smiled at the sight. "It also helps that Cerberus' older brother and Reese's father married a girl similar to March,"
"Cerberus has an older brother?" Bronya asked as she eyed the younger version of Cerberus on the screen. He looked like a younger version of Zhongli but has dark hair and eyes.
"Cerberus has an older brother?" Asta asked, genuinely curious to know more about Cerberus.
"Yes, Cerberus is the youngest of three brothers. Sword Saint Reve and Knight Captain-General Reinhardt." Reena said with a smile.
A spectral version of Reese suddenly appeared in front of a running Cerberus, causing the young man to trip on his niece and get sent rolling on the ground. Reese, still in shock, but unharmed, started to bawl her eyes out while holding her face while Cerberus held his face in pain as the two rolled in complete synchronization.
"Well, that's your fiancee," Herta said, teasing Asta, causing the poor girl to blush.
finally done with bringing the guests.
