A scream broke out the silence of the snowy woods of Snezhnaya.

Dead bodies layed on the ground, all lifeless.

Blood splattered everywhere, they were dead treasure hoarders.

How did this happen?

Y/N sat down on the library of the castle, reading books talking about the different regions of teyvat. Including the Archon war.

Her hands were shaky, maybe from the cold?

She continued reading throught the whole book, soon the sound of a door unlocking is heard from the entrance of the room.

Her chest tightened at the sight of Dottore, but he didn't look like he is making trouble.

"Y/N, I have to speak to you." Dottore asked as he made his way to stand infront of the table where she is currently has a bunch of books placed.

She nodded, "Yes?"

Before the Doctor could answer, she noticed her appearance changed for a bit. The gray and white strands of her hair is being more noticeable, the structure a bit of her face is also changing. But barely noticeable this time.

He shrugged it off and asked, "Before you got involved to the Fatui or before knowing Pantalone is a Harbinger... Did you perhaps have enemies? Or someone disliking you?"

The girl raised her eyebrow at the sudden question, enemies?

Looking back on her past, the only person she is definitely knew as friends were Pantalone, Volkov, and Scaramouche (The first Harbinger she met before getting involved in the fatui.)

"No one, everybody was really nice and close to me." She replied, she felt a slight shiver flowing down on her spine at a thought of someone backstabbing her.

Dottore nodded, frustrated on not getting an answer. It was infuriating.

The Harbinger nodded before walking out of the room.

"Speaking of Volkov, I should visit his family." She mumbled.

'But I doubt Pantalone will let me out of the castle.' she sighed.

The day contunued when Y/N recieved a letter from Scaramouche.

Y/N

I heard what happened to you in Snezhnaya, and what that bastard of a Doctor did to you. If I were to be there, I would have killed him.

Anyways, I'm currently in Inazuma. The Vision Hunt Decree has diminished. But I have to apologize my friend.

I won't be going back to Snezhnaya soon, mostly I have the Electro Archon's Gnosis. I'm leaving and betraying the Harbingers, but it is best to keep your mouth shut about all of this.

If you ever get the chance of if you wanna see me again, best to visit Sumeru which is where I will be heading off too soon.

I got to say, the traveler you met is pretty strong. Because if him, the problem in Inazuma has finished and everybody is free.

Well then, keep your mouth shut my friend, I will see you soon.

-Scaramouche

The grip on the paper tightened when she read about Scaramouche who has the Gnosis.

But why would he betray and turn his back against Snezhnaya.

She was also thankful for Scaramouche calling her his friend. It was truly an honor.

It was night time and everybody has went to sleep.

Y/N was wrapped around Pantalone's embrace as they both slept peacefully.

But Y/N felt slightly restless.

She woke up and saw her face was buried against Pantalone's chest with her arms wrapped around him, same as Pantalone.

Quietly removing her hold around him, she slowly stood up from the bed before wearing her jacket and taking in her blade.

She saw her won reflection against the window, her eyes were hollow.

She wasn't in control.

Something has clouded her mind, and the only thing she wanted to do was to see blood.

Quietly leaving the castle without getting noticed in the middle of the night, she went through the woods.

She walked and walked.

Soon she saw a camp of Treasure Hoarders.

"Good thing we burnt down those camps of the poor! Look! We got more food!"

"And extra materials for living!"

"It sucks they don't have mora, low life humans."

"Good thing we killed them."

The beast within Y/N came out, gripping her blade tightly with her vision beside her.

She didn't hesitate and stabbed them.

One by one.

Ignoring their cries, she wanted blood, she wanted them dead!

Calling the innocent low lives, she should just kill everybody so no one will blame each other.

After the final man has been killed, her whole body was covered in blood. Soon she passed out.

A few moments later she woke up, this time the glow on her eyes came back. It was Y/N.

She felt her clothes sticking to her skin alongside the wetness on her arms.

Adjusting her vision to see, she saw truly horrified her.

Dead bodies layed on the ground, all lifeless.

Blood splattered everywhere, they were dead treasure hoarders.

She looked down on her hand and saw her blade were full of blood.

Of their blood.

He brain begins to break out, she was breathing heavily. A panic attack.

Soon, she broke out to a loud scream of pain and fear.

This night will truly haunt her forever.
