teaser for part 2

scaramouche x reader note: this is written in first person but still meant to be for the reader :) part one - freedom

The air was crisp on my skin. It was nowhere near Snezhnaya levels of cold, but still I thought of my home for just a moment. The thought squeezed on my heart ever so slightly, and the dull ache soon spread over my body. I resisted the urge to clutch my chest as I brought my thoughts back to my next step. 

It was at that moment I saw him. I noticed the iciness on my neck as we crossed paths. His hat almost covered his gaze, but as he stepped past me he turned and met my eyes. He held my stare briefly as we continued on our paths, both turning back for just a second. It felt like an eternity. I snapped my head forward in my next step and it was over. The chill vanished. I did not look back again until I reached my destination.

Who Neuvillette is as a character absolutely explodes my brain whenever I think about it too hard.

He is the original dragon ruler of the world that was vanquished by a foreign entity. He gets reincarnated in the form of a member of his own vanquisher's people and is given the position of the chief judge in their society. But instead of using his societal role and strength to enact revenge, he develops a sense of compassion for his usurper's creations that is so powerful it makes the skies themselves weep whenever he is confronted with their pain. Like are you kidding me. Are you fucking kidding me

Freedom was something I thought I would never experience again.

I’ve been traveling south, desperately trying to shake off the chill of my former home. Although, “home” isn’t really what I would call it - prison is more fitting. Or ice-covered hell. 

Snezhnaya is nothing like it was when I was a child. Of course, I was locked up for eternity, and I can say that because it has been more years than any human could ever live. Something they did to me stopped me from aging. I quit wishing for death a few hundred years ago or so, and I also stopped counting the years. 

I paused my hike as I approached my destination. I scanned over the giant, beautiful tree that was in front of me. The greenery I had already experienced through Sumeru was stunning, but what lay before me was magnificent. Maybe it was the twinge of hope tugging at my chest making me sensitive. Either way, I trudged on. 

Ironically, being locked up by scientists made me yearn for knowledge. I wanted to outsmart them to escape, but I’ve always been naturally curious. I knew about the Akademiya before… well, when I was young. But, I also heard tons about it from my captors. I knew this was my destination a long time ago.

Getting enrolled ended up being way easier than I thought. During my journey I met a mysterious woman, Lisa. We were passing through the same village and she came up to me in the tavern. 

“Hello, may I sit?” the voice woke me from my trance. I looked up to see a beautiful woman smiling at me, curiosity and a hint of something I can’t really describe poking through her emerald eyes. 

“Yes, go ahead,” I said, shaking off my confusion. I half-smiled while she sat. I waited. 

She studied me briefly. 

“You’ve been traveling for a while haven’t you? You poor thing,” she murmured. She looked sincere, but it didn’t really seem like it was pity that filled her words. She seemed amused. 

“Yes,” I answered. I was being cautious - I didn’t really need to talk to many people to get by. There was still a chance they would come looking for me, but they had gotten bored with me long ago. I doubt they would bother. 

I realized the silence had gone on too long. I noticed her Electro Vision. Mondstadt. 

“I’m heading to Sumeru City - to the Akademiya,” I decided it was a normal thing to be doing. 

She smiled. “Of course,” she leaned in, “but I think classes have already started.”

I tensed. Her tone was skeptical. What did she know? I hadn’t fully figured out my change in identity. I needed to stay hidden as I was supposed to be dead according to official records. Unofficially… my captors could find me. I haven’t decided if I’m worth their time but I would rather not risk it. I don’t think they would actively seek me out but if they happened to come across me…

She noticed my tension. 

“I apologize, I am not here to interrogate you. My name is Lisa, an Akademiya Alumni,” she then lowered her voice, “I’m simply venturing a curiosity of mine, off the record,” she winked. 

“Nice to meet you,” I replied. “What is this curiosity?”

She changed the subject. “How are you able to start this late in the year? The Akademiya has very strict rules about that kind of thing,” she said. She knew the answer, yet she asked anyway. 

Was it that obvious that I was out of place? I knew this would be a problem when I got there, I just wasn’t expecting to think about it now. The Akademiya has strict entrance requirements, and I don’t even have a real identity at this point. 

Wait, she totally ignored my question. 

“What are you getting at?” I demanded. 

“Let’s just say I have a sixth sense for those who are… gifted. Let’s also say that I don’t care what their real name is or where they came from. They love me at the Akademiya,” she stood up and headed for the door. “See you in the morning!” she called and then she was gone. 

Maybe she was just crazy. I was very confused on what she was talking about, but I sensed power in her. I decided I would humor her, and headed off to bed. 

In the morning, I went to the same table from last night. The tavern was empty, as expected. There was an envelope on the table. I opened it carefully - I had a feeling it was from Lisa. It was full of documents. They all listed the same name: 

Zena Silva

It had birth records, school transcripts, medical documents, and a copy of a Sumeru Akademiya acceptance letter. I swallowed my gasp and rushed out the door.
