#this is an official apology to Cryas for taking so long on his lines but he's being DIFFICULT

[i-put-the-yan-in-polyandry]

VOICELINES: HELIOS

HELLO: I am naught but a travelling priest. Please, pay me no mind.

CHAT: PRIESTHOOD: I do not belong to any particular sect or organization, our views do not align. That anyone could alter Their word for profit, that anyone would follow that blasphemy. No, I refuse.

CHAT: KNOWLEDGE: Many of the texts I preach have been lost to the ages, I doubt even The Seven would know them all. Humanity's proclivity for picking and choosing... How do I know of them? You don't think I'd make this up, do you?

CHAT: AGE: Perhaps my face is too young, it seems wherever I go, I'm seen as some young upstart. How old am I? Haha... that's a rather rude question. Well, I'm as old as my worship, how is that for an answer?

ABOUT HELIOS: Must you insist? Very well. My name is Helios, just Helios.

ABOUT CRYAS: I know a meddlesome child, always causing problems for me. I've told his Mother many a time of his misbehavior, yet they insist he is a good child. To them, and no one else, maybe.

ABOUT CYRES: Hmm, perhaps I should bring something back for him. Who, you ask? Perhaps the only agreeable sort I've dealt with in my work— not including my master, of course.

ABOUT DARLING: WORSHIP: I worship and revere only one, I believe you understand who that is.

ABOUT DARLING: LOSS: I never thought I would be the one to see Them close their eyes for the last time. I never thought I... that I could ever outlive Them. And yet, that day... I still struggle to comprehend it.

SOMETHING TO SHARE: The world changes unexpectedly; every time I think Teyvat will settle into a peaceful lull, something new happens. Especially those two...

INTERESTING THINGS: Did you know there have been exactly one-thousand-three-hundred-and-twelve attempted revisions to the Divine One's teachings since Teyvat founded their church? Of course, I wouldn't allow such a thing.

MORE ABOUT HELIOS: I would be happier to know more about you. I hear you have many stories to tell.

MORE ABOUT HELIOS II: I make it my life's work to record the truth of Teyvat's history, so that if, one day, the Divine One were ever to return to us, they will know the truth of this world's history.

MORE ABOUT HELIOS III: In truth, I am not a being of this world. I came to inhabit it long before the rise of civilization. I'm not quite sure why I've stayed... Perhaps I'm simply incapable of moving forward.

MORE ABOUT HELIOS IV: I met the Divine One as no more than a mere mortal, and yet, they saw potential in me. They offered me the chance to explore the stars and beyond. I will never forget that.

MORE ABOUT HELIOS V: Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am Helios, Hand of the All-Creator, Grand Librarian of the Akashic Records, and eternal follower of Their Divinity.

HELIOS' HOBBIES: I spend my days reading through texts and keeping record of all additions and changes anyone attempts to make. I have created copies of every text since the dawn of written language, in multiple languages to cross-reference.

HELIOS' TROUBLES: Those two troublemakers seem insistent that my master will return one day. But, I've already come to terms with it. "Everything with a beginning must have an ending," that is what They told me.
