PS: This one-shot is long. So, good luck and have fun reading!

It's already sunset, and the Tavern was busy today, but Diluc is not tired yet. He's not surprised that he got a lot of customers, and he already knew that his wines are on top of the list of the best wine restaurant in Mondstadt.

"Diluc!"

Diluc sighed because he already knew who it was, and it's that darn bard who kept forgetting to pay for his wine. He didn't turn around to face him, and he focused on drying one of the mugs he washed a few minutes ago.

"I apologize, Venti. We ran out of Dandelion wines." He put the mugs inside the pantry, and he turned to face the tone-deaf bard.

"Oh, no. I'm not here for that! I came here to tell you something important." Venti sat on a chair as he rested and crossed his arms on the table. Diluc raised one of his eyebrows, signaling him to continue what he's going to say.

"There's a lady who came here in Mondstadt a few minutes ago. I don't know why I felt she's a Goddess from somewhere." Venti's face looked like he's curious about this woman. He hasn't seen anyone like her for years. Maybe, she's a Greek Goddess? Or reincarnate?

"How can you tell she's a Goddess?" Diluc asked.

"I just got that feeling, that powerful feeling. I felt that woman is a good Goddess because I felt empowered when I'm near to her." Venti's expression went from joy to sadness. "I think you're not going to believe me if I told you about this."

Diluc was silent for a bit. He thought Venti was going to ask or say something ridiculous, but he was curious.

"Carry on."

Venti cleared his throat and continued. "So, she was heading to the church, and I saw her face after I stopped playing my lyre on top of the statue, but I noticed something weird. I know I wasn't tired or drunk, but she kind of looks like (Y/-" Venti was about to say the name, but Diluc stopped him with his claymore pointing at his face.

"Do not say that name." Diluc frowned at him as he pointed his claymore to Venti's face. His blood started to boil as he thought this might be Kaeya's one of his pranks and asked Venti to join him.

Diluc was in love. Once. He stopped loving someone after she left him, and no, she didn't leave him for someone else. She died in a fight between one of the Fatui members. Diluc was finding the person who killed her, but he gave up after three years of searching. He chooses to be alone and kept serving the winery. There are times that Diluc goes to the place where he and (Y/N) was staying every weekend, but he only went there to celebrate her birthday and bring her (favorite flowers) to her tombstone.

"Hey, put your claymore down and let me finish. If you think this is a prank, it's not, and if you still don't believe me? Then go out and look for yourself, Diluc." Venti said as he slowly put Diluc's claymore.

"And if it's not true, you are not allowed to enter here for a month," Diluc said as his claymore disappeared and headed to the door. He quickly told one of his workers that he's going out, and he will come back before nighttime.

"And if it's true?" Venti asked with sparkles in his eyes because he already knew that he's going to get his favorite wine for free.

"You already know the answer."

Diluc went outside and started to look around for the woman that Venti mentioned. Yes, he knew that it might be a prank, but he can't help it. He needs to find that woman who looked like his first love.

As he kept walking around, people were almost gone, and some of them already left after they closed their shops. He turned left to head to the Mondstadt's gate, and he saw someone unfamiliar standing in the middle of the bridge.

There she was. Her hair was shining from the moonlight, her skin looked so soft and fragile to touch it, and her figure looked like (Y/N). She's wearing this shining gold and aquatic dress that ends on the ground. (Check the photo next to the video.)

Diluc was about to walk towards her, but he stopped in his tracks. There was something familiar in front of her, and it appears to be the Electro Abyss Mage. He quickly hid behind the pilaster, and he quietly peeked out to watch them. He let his claymore appeared in his right hand to get ready when they attack her.

"You were not allowed to enter here. How dare you set your foot in this city?"

Her voice sounded the same when (Y/N) was angry. She wasn't shouting or screaming, but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone, and it sounds like a rumble of thunder before a storm comes.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Goddess who reincarnated as Murata." The Abyss Mage chuckled.

Diluc was surprised and realized Venti was right. She is the reincarnated Goddess of Murata.

The Abyss Mage chuckled as he waved his wand. Five mitachurls appeared around them, and one mitachurl was behind the Goddess, but she didn't dare to flinch.

"I came here to find out how powerful you are, and I guess..."

Mitachurls started to position themselves, getting ready to attack her at any minute while Diluc is getting ready as he held his claymore tightly to attack them.

"You are not strong enough like Murata, and I can tell that I can defeat you right away."

The Goddess chuckled as she looked up to him with a deadly stare while her right eye glowing blue like a burning flame. Diluc felt something powerful, and he also noticed something was glowing blue until it glows brighter.

"We will see about that, and..."

She lifted both of her hands, and blue flames started to appear on the palm of her hands as she starts to fly up. Blue orbs began to appear around her while the ground beneath her starts to form a large glowing blue circle with runes inside it, bursting a lot of blue flames. The enemies jumped back away from her, one of the mitachurl's fur was burning, and the abyss mage's shield cracked a little.

"I will make you regret for coming here." The lady started to attack the enemies with her flaming blue orbs.

The Abyss Mage starts to attack her with electro orbs, but it didn't hit her once or twice, and she didn't move to dodge all of it. One of her flaming blue orbs hit two or three in a single shot, and the abyss mage was already scared of her, but it didn't make him stop attacking her.

Diluc can feel the warmth of her flame, he can tell that her flames are the warmest and can burn enough of someone's skin if they get near to her.

I thought Murata's fire was orange flame, but why is her flame blue? Is there any meaning of it? I think Venti or Lisa may know about this.

The Mitachurls started to dig under to throw pyro slimes at her, but it didn't hit her also. The Mitachurls, as well as the Abyss Mage, didn't notice that she formed a shield. Anything that hits it will bounce back at the enemy. The pyro slime was big enough to give good damage to the mitachurls.

The Abyss Mage's shield was almost broken, in just one shot, and he'll be dead. There are no Mitachurls left, and he's the only one left. (Y/N) flies down on the ground, blue flaming orbs were still floating around her while the blue circle underneath her disappeared.

"Surrender or Death?" She said as her shield disappeared.

"No! I am not going to give up until you are dead, and my master will be proud of me!" The Abyss Mage waved his wand once again, and he completely healed his shield. Six mitachurls appeared holding their shields, and eight hilichurls with electro crossbows in front of her.

(Y/N) realized something. She doesn't have enough energy to let out her shield again, but she has one choice. She had to let out her ultimate skill, but it will also hurt her since she is still learning to control her flames, or else she might go into berserk.

She was about to release her last hurrah, but she stopped until a red-haired person appeared in front of her.

"I will make sure you will never come back to this city, and if you come back... I will make sure you are dead!" Diluc shouted as he held his flaming claymore, ready to release his ultimate power to the enemies.

"Burn!"

He waved his claymore, and a flaming Phoenix appeared flying to attack the enemies. With just one shot, it killed almost all of them, and it broke the Abyss Mage's shield. He fell to the ground, coughing.

Diluc walked towards him as he pointed his claymore at the enemy's face.

"Don't you dare to step your foot here in Mondstadt. Understood?"

The Abyss Mage was about to say something, but a flaming blue sword stabbed him, and he disappeared together with the sword. Diluc turned to face the lady. She went back to her form, but she looked at him with wide eyes.

The lady fainted and was about to fall on the ground, but Diluc was fast enough to catch her in his arms gently. He looked at her angelic face, and he still couldn't believe that he saw (Y/N)'s face again. Diluc couldn't help, and his tears started to stream down on his face. After all these years, he finally cried but it didn't bother him. He was too focused on the lady, he finally met her again.

After a week, the sun was lighting up the room and gave enough light to it. The lady started to wake up as she rubbed her eyes. She sat up and looked around the surroundings until she noticed the person was sleeping beside her bed. It was the guy who saved her the last time. He was sleeping peacefully.

She smiled and thanked him silently. She looked to her right to see some of her (favorite flowers). She was a bit surprised because how come this man know her favorite flowers? She started to think about it until she felt a headache and touched her temples as she fainted.

She started to remember her memories from who she was before. It's about her life before she reincarnated as a Goddess. She watched her memories from when she was younger, teenager until the red-haired man appeared through her memories. She finally knew the reason why she felt urged to visit Mondstadt. The reason why she also had dreams about this place.

The red-haired man was the love of her life.

Diluc woke up from a whimpering noise, he looked up and saw the lady panting and sweating. He stood up quickly to stand beside her as he put his hand on her shoulder to wake her up gently.

"Miss?! Wake up!" Diluc started to panic a little

Diluc called out for help until Barbara with the other nurses burst inside the room to help the lady.

"Master Diluc, stay outside, please. We will call you when she's okay." Barbara said as she pulled out some towels from the drawer and walked towards the lady. Diluc had no choice but to stay outside even though he wanted to stay and help.

After an hour, he's finally sitting beside her bed, and she is sleeping peacefully. Diluc stayed by her side for a week, but he visited the tavern some other time to check, and he let Charles take care of it.

The lady finally woke up and gently sat up as she rubbed her eyes. Diluc didn't know how to react until he chooses to fake sleep beside her.

Such a dumb idea, Diluc.

The lady yawned and felt a weight beside her, and it was the guy. She finally looked at him clearly and chuckled.

"I know you are awake, Diluc."

Diluc's eyes went wide open when he heard his name. He sat up to look at her and was about to ask something.

"I know you were going to ask how did I know your name." She said as she looked at the flowers.

"Yes, but how? May I know why?" Diluc asked. He doesn't know why he's so nervous and scared at the same time. Maybe she knew his name because he saved her? Or she heard his name from Mondstadt people about how good his wine?

The sun from the window shines behind her and it made her look like an angel as she looked at him, smiling. The lady held his left hand while her other hand was on his right cheek, caressing it. Her tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"You didn't save me the last time, but now, you saved me... my love."
