Chapter Text
Inside the cold, grey hallways inside the Favonius Cathedral lies a hidden "angel", Said angel was so well hidden that the locals of Mondstadt city didnt even know that she resided here. People say that sometimes when they enter the cathedral, they can spot a voice singing melodies but with no source of the beutiful and mesmerizing seraphic voice that echoed here. It was definitly not Barbaras voice, but this one is diffrent.
People often talked about the strange yet angelical voice that was heard in the Cathedral, wondering who could be the owner of such a beutiful voice. A few folk began growing supersticous, thinking that it may be a lost spirit or a ghost. Others think that it could be related to Barbatos, but most think that this strange voice is perhaps someone that likes to express themselves through the art of song and harmony. There was also days where this voice wouldnt be present at all.
Those were days that Eternal Sugar was away, exploring the lush and green lands of the Nation of Freedom. Trying to find answers about this strange lands and if by chance she could find her companions, her comrades, her fellow beast cookies. Her next stop is Dragonspine, the mountain of ancient ruins and snow-capped areas. It is said that the snow in this mountain gathers, but never melts. Eternal Sugar readied herself for the journey that awaits ahead. So, with all of that said, just what awaits the Bringer of Sloth in the cold and snowy mountains?
♡♡♡
The path leading up to the mountain is not as steep as she expected , but its covered in ice the whole way, so Eternal Sugar has to be careful. Thankfully, granted with the ability to fly with her wings, Eternal Sugar has managed to climb alongside the mountain. Its cold, thats for sure, the more higher up on the altitudes you get, the colder it gets. The frost is so bitter, this place is diffrent than what the other parts of Mondstadt shows, truly.
Eternal Sugar, reached another statue of the Seven. But this statue was located on a cliffs edge, which when Eternal Sugar turned around, she found an ancient city. An ancient palace left in ruins. Eternal Sugars vision was becoming blurry due to Sheer Cold, so she leaned against the one of the ruins pillars, but thankfully a Warming Seelie came nearby her, warming her, Eternal Sugar leaned close into this Seelie, and then fell asleep.
...
"Where in the Garden of Delights am I?"
Eternal Sugar said, confused once again. She seemed to be at a sort of campsite? At the entrance they were two lit torches that warm her up, a cooking pot, two workstations and four shelves, all stacked with research materials, a crafting bench, and finally, various barrels and crates are all scattered along the outpost. There also seems to be a Record Board, filled with research and well-made drawings.
"...Hello"
A young mans voice greeted Eternal Sugar, this young man seemed to be of Middle height, he has pale blond hair that is pulled back into a half ponytail with braids and it reaches his shoulders, with his softer turquoise eyes and an unusual golden star shaped marking on his throat, perhaps a result of being made alchemically.
"Oh! Hello!~"
Eternal Sugar answered, in her charateristic sweet and angelical voice!
"Who might you be, young man?"
Eternal Sugar asked him
"I am Albedo, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, and who are you? Im curious"
"Im Eternal Sugar, darling!"
Eternal Sugar introduced herself shortly. Alebedo found himself intrested in Eternal Sugar, and it was because she seemed to be infact one of the "Humanoid Cookies" that were found in Fontaine months ago. It was a strange yet fascinating discovery, seeing cookies walk, talk , live a life, interact and so on. Albedo always wanted to do his research on this creatures, if you even can call cookies creatures anyways...Eternal Sugar seemed to be only 1, 7 ft tall, so Albedo could maybe hold her.
"I have to ask you this, why am i here?" she asked him, she doesnt seem to trust him fully, its due to her new envirorments. She hasnt talked to anyone in Mondstadt, since shes been spending her time hidden in the Favonius Cathedral.
"I found you unconscious nearby the ruins here, so i took you to my campsite in order to warm you up"
"Oh? Well how noble of you! I thank you for your help!~"
...
"Now that i remember, arent you the young man who stood on trial for murder and unlawful disposal of human remains, hm?"
"...yes. but thankfully i wasnt found guilty in the end. I was being framed by a fake. The whole trial itself was made to expose fakes who are taking the power of Durin"
"Durin?"
"Yes, Durin."
Eternal Sugar found herself curious at the mention of a "Durin".
"Enlighten me, who, or what is Durin?" Eternal Sugar asked, with a smile on her face. Finally, information that could be useful...
"Durin is an abyssal dragon that once caused terror in the lands of Mondstadt. A creation of my own master, my creator. However, Durin got killed in a fierce battle against Dvalin, however, Dvalin got tainted by Durins abyssal blood, but Dvalin got restored thankfully. However, the remains of Durin lay in these cold mountains, ribs and even his own heart core, however, i already took care of the heart core"
Eternal Sugar nodded at this information, finally...something she could put at good use.
"Well, thank you for the information, Albedo!~" Eternal Sugar said, with a smile that was a bit off putting...
"Well, I have to go, i have to continue onwards to explore this little mountain, may you have the sweetest of days eternal!~" Eternal Sugar said her goodbyes to Albedo, While she flew off.
"What a strange cookie..."
Albedo thought to himself, hell keep a watch on her. Somethings deeply wrong about Eternal Sugar.
♡♡♡
At Wyrmrest Valley..
Eternal Sugae was walking this valley, where the remains of Durin laid there, namely his skull, heart and ribcage, due to this, some areas are stained with a crimson colored blood. The silvery snow with the scarlet red, an oddly beutiful sight.
At Durins Core, an angel was found there, picking up the Crimson Agates that formed here, and also, approaching the core of where Durins Heart was once found, after the blood was drained from the core, a shell remains, its still warm.
"Oh? So it was true, no core to be found...this little crimson agates may be use of me, sooner or later~"
"Ill find my fellow beast comrades, i know theyre here. Just so you wait!~"
...
Eternal Sugar collected some of the little blood she could get from Durins core.
"Yes... this may also be of use."
Hehehe.
