The 4th Descender arrives - Prologue



Orlo POV

I opened my eyes, my vision a blur, trying to recall the events happening. I hadn't slept in a while. Who cares anyways?....sleep is for the weak. I am at the......

"Psst!...Hey, Orlo!" The voice of my coworker, and my closest friend in this abyss damned organization, Scaramouche, woke me from my daydreaming, right.....we were at the harbinger meeting.

"Look at Childe.." Scaramouche pointed at Childe, trying to hold in a snicker.....what was so funny he had to disturb-

"PFFT!" Ah, I've done it. It was hilarious ! I know Pierro...big boss man.. said not to make so much noise during meetings, but it was glorious! I couldn't help but laugh- Childe's hair made him look like he was about to be struck down by lighting! Scaramouche had definetly put some electro slime condensate in his hat again. I'll never get tired of this prank.

"Balladeer, Glitch. Please, quiet down. We are supposed to discuss our plan to overthrow Celestia¹ now." Pierro's voice echoed through the room. It hurt my ears.

"Yes, Jester." Me and Scara said. I would never listen to anyone. He's merely 3 ranks above me. But I didn't want to be scolded again. I don't like his voice.....it's ....too loud. His face ain't helping either.

"Ugh....so boring....I could overtake Celestia in one day, even without a plan" I mumbled to no one in particular. "I'm.....tired...."

"Hey! Dude! Wake up! Orlo?" Scara's voice echoed through my head......waking me up?

"W-what....happened?" I say, still sleepy from my random nap.

"The harbinger meeting ended? Don't tell me you actually fell asleep!...come on, let's go back to our rooms. work awaits us." Scara added with a scoff.

"Tch....Yeah, yeah....Hey, about the meeting, where is everyone headed to?" I click my tongue in annoyance and got up from my chair.

"Well, I've heard Signora is headed to Mondstat. To grab that lazy archon's² gnosis³."

"Ah, so that fancy old hag was sent after the bard's gnosis. Heh........I wish her good luck finding it...." I cackle. Not even after months did anybody notice I have it.

"...Yeah....? Well....goodluck with your tasks. Don't let the boredom make you fall asleep again~" Scaramouche teased with a cocky grin as he playfully nudged me with his elbow.

"Don't make me do it." I warn, growling at him.

"I'm not scared of that stupid song anymore!" Scaramouche said, sticking his tongue out and pulling his eyelid down at me. How did he even do that?!

"SCARAMOUCHE SCARAMOUCHE WILL YOU DO THE FANDANGO?!" And...Whoopsies~ ...reflexes...I 'accidentally' punched him in the face. "That was for touching me. And you totally deserved it." I hissed at him. He was one of my only friends, but that doesn't mean I'll spare him from a punch if he dares touch me.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways take care bud. If you need to leave me some of your work I'll happily oblige to help you. I usually take work from the first four anyways...." Scara patted me on the back and turned to leave.

"Thanks. But I can manage." I mumble with a shrug, the corners of my mouth twitching in a small smile of recognition, for just a moment, as I too leave for my room.

"There it is..."I look proudly at the door on which is inscribed my harbinger code name...'The Glitch'...."My room....now...I should just get to work...."

"W-huh?....A....beach?....Wasn't I just in my office?.....This seems like Mondstadt's coast if I'm not wrong..." I blink tiredly and look at my hands. "This is....not my body!? I-....who am I!?"

"Hey...quiet down please....." A voice rung in my head speaking calmly.

Hello! There were like 3 words that might be new to some of you so here are the meanings:

1.Celestia = kind of like the god that rules over all gods of Teyvat (how their 'earth' is called)

2.Archon = god of a specific element

3.Gnosis = an object of divine posesion, that archons have to enhance their elemental power. each gnosis is different based on the element, and they resemble chess pieces.
Yw to any folk that needs it.
