With allies secured, they sought artifacts of power across Teyvat. First, to Liyue’s Adepti realms, where Xiao stood sentinel. “Mortals challenging Celestia? Foolish… but your resolve echoes the Yakshas’ duty.” He granted them a sigil warding against divine curses.

  En route, through Jueyun Karst’s clouds, Varka and Nicole camped by a serene lake. “This place—feels like the edge of the world,” Varka mused, his Anemo stirring gentle breezes.

  Edges where fates meet, Nicole replied. Like us. From Nod-Krai’s ruins to here… your confidence then, assuming I’d heard of you. So adorable.

  He laughed. “Adorable? I’ll show you.” He pulled her into the water, splashing playfully before drawing her close. Kisses trailed from lips to neck, hands wandering under wet clothes — dangerous tension building to a passionate, romantic union on the shore, awkward whispers turning to moans.

  Next, to Inazuma’s stormy isles. Raiden Shogun’s eternity loomed, but Yae Miko, ever sly, aided them. “A knight and an angel against the heavens? Entertaining. Take this kitsune charm—it veils truths from prying eyes.”

  In a cherry blossom grove, they shared sake. “To defying gods,” Varka toasted.

  To love that defies, she echoed. Their night was fiery—kisses deepening, bodies entwining in heated, detailed intimacy, Varka’s strength gentle, Nicole’s guidance teasing.
