Chapter Text
Cyno sat in the library with Tighnari, his partner and a Sustainable Agriculture and Environment major. He stared at the book in front of him, rereading the page for the 5th time. Something was bugging him. The homework was easy- stuff he knew, the paper was even easier- but something felt so off. There had been word from the Fontaine dorms that their temporary resident, Sangonomiya Kokomi had been seen outside during the hurricane type weather- and now she sported a blue gem. There had also been sightings of more of these gems on other students - mainly from the Mondstadt dorms and independent housing. He closed his book and sighed, the weird dreams, the gems and now the weird weather - something was happening. Cyno shook his head and grabbed Tighnari's arm, pulling him out of the library "Lets go." Tighnari looked confused but picked up his things and allowed Cyno to drag him out
As Cyno and Tighnari walked back to the Sumeru dorms he stared at Kokomi, who was talking to Nilou - both sporting a blue gem on their hip. He looked away and tried to focus on the present, walking back to his shared room. Tighnari pulled a book out from under their bed that referenced some history - he took a glance at it and saw a staff, it brought up a memory he hardly recognized. Shaking it off he laid down behind Tighnari "What wrong Cy?" "Stupid memories..." Tighnari put down his book and leaned over Cyno, worry covering his face. Cyno reached up and pat Tighnari's head before he passed out.
"General Mahamatra! We have need of your presence!" Cyno rolled out of bed and realized that Tighnari was nowhere to be seen - the room was pretty empty aside from a few items of clothes and that staff. He picked it up and placed it on his back, he opened his door and stepped out to see who was knocking on his door "What." "We apologize for waking you General- but the Forest Rangers told us to come get you!" He stepped out of his house and stared at the guards. "Where?" The Guards pointed at the forest, he begun running in the direction of the forest, The guards followed him but soon their footsteps grew faint as he sprinted ahead, jumping from tree to tree, rock to rock, all the way to the Forest Rangers.
The Rangers upon seeing Cyno saluted him and then spoke "Master Tighnari woke up asking for you- he looked lost General." Cyno, now realizing that they saw him as authority he looked in the general direction they pointed. He nodded and walked quickly towards a leaf hut, he heard Tighnari's sobs and mutters of confusion. "Nari?" The sobs stopped and the sound of footsteps was heard, then a hand stuck out between two leaves, Cyno grabbed it and was pulled inside. He stared at Tighnari whose face was red from tears "Oh 'Nari." the two hugged tightly, Cyno spotted a green gem on the table and something told him they were called visions. "I think I know what's going on. Get dressed." "Cy, wait. That history book- it had this in it-" Tighnari pulled out a bow- Scion of the Blazing Sun, the same from the history book earlier "This..." "Its mine Cy, You've got one too" Cyno pulled out his weapon- The spear that was in the book " That's The Staff of Scarlet Sands Cyno, looks the exact same as the book" Cyno stared down at the weapon in his hands, then he began looking for what was humming. He felt around and found a purple gem in gold metal. "So this is my vision."
