Remembering the past, new wonders are born

She sees deities in this man, so she wanted to ask the bard for advice. Though you can't tell from her, it pains the nun to watch her friend destroy himself. She clearly doesn't like his brother, so she has a suspicion that this kid can help. The lady silently entered the tavern and immediately saw Venti. The Crown of Grace ignored the gaze of Ragnvindr, who now had his ears flickering open:

- Hey, Sister Rosaria, you want to hear me play the lyre? Then you owe me 1,000 moras, you're my drinking companion. - the Wind Poet said with a cheerful look with his turquoise eyes at her. The girl did not really want to pay this bard, he obviously spends the coins not for a good cause, but to drink. It has a good wine flavor, but it's too expensive.

- Venti, I don't want to hear it, I have enough work to do in the Cathedral of Favonia. - she said, staring frowning at the young man, who immediately laughed.

- Ha-ha-ha, you've got a way with jokes. Okay, then you buy me some wine, and I'll sing you a song. - then he began to play his lyre. The melody, so quiet, peaceful, and it felt like they were being blown around by the wind. It was as if they were in the Windrise, near a large tree sitting next to the statue of Anemo the Archon. Next, she heard the lines:

Once upon a time there were two brothers:

One has shut himself in.

And didn't come out of the shadows burning.

Another walked sadly in the crowd,

Made a mask out of blood playing.

For a long time, they didn't speak,

As they told to each other:

"He's nobody to me!" - babbled the eldest.

"So serious." - the younger said.

"How do you annoy me.

Get out of my sight or mutilate."

Then one could expect,

How did the guy react to that.

"Okay, I won't interfere anymore."

- With these words he became depressed.

The young man jumped up cowardly and began to run away,

Then he didn't show up at the tavern for a long time.

But he still has a girlfriend,

Nun, saved him from torment.

Now the guy prayed to God,

When he can talk to him again,

After the storm.

This is a verse about two souls who didn't listen to each other. They were both guilty in their own ways, but they couldn't find a compromise. After hearing this, the red-haired man had an epiphany; now he no longer dared to postpone the moment. In fact, Diluc is afraid of losing this fool, for he is the only one left of his own people. They need each other, like brain and body, like sword and man. By that time night had fallen and the cathedral should be closed, but for some reason, the door was open. There he saw Rosaria standing guard, drilling with a piercing frosty gaze.

- Where are you going? - The girl asked Ragnvindr coldly. It was as if she paralyzed him with her question, but he tried to be discreet with her. You never know what will pop into her head.

- Talk to him. - The guy answered briefly in complete composure. The nun involuntarily wanted to laugh and then get kick him out of that building. Because she can't believe that Dark Dawn realized her mistake.

- Have you really bothered to do it, only I'm afraid it's too late. Master Diluc, you are as "good a brother" as I am a singer in a choir. Better to die from such a disease than to listen to your excuses. You've probably done enough bad things for this guy already, so leave nicely or you'll regret coming here. - The Crown of Grace spoke threateningly, as if she were staring at her victim. She stood guard at the church today to guard a friend. The nun knew his past very well, and with what pain he told her about it, because of this she decided to protect his sleep. The tycoon didn't know how to respond, but was prepared for different outcomes. The girl from the right side of the back drew her spear and as if waiting for the moment when she could attack and continued: - All right, you chose this path yourself. Now you'll only go through my dead body. - looking at that red-eyed man smirked slightly. Ragnvindr was not going to fight her, much less in the church of Favonia. Just as they were about to cross their weapons, suddenly Barbatos himself appeared between them. This is the same young man who usually plays the lyre in Diluc's tavern. The burgundy-haired girl hid her weapon, for she knew that something was about to happen. She, as a nun, was not allowed to use it in such a place, though she was very eager to teach this guy a lesson. The magnate himself was surprised by the appearance of the deity, for he rarely visits humans. Venti lowered himself to the ground and looked at them unhappily.

- Sister Rosaria and Master Diluc, you should stop. I don't think your friend will appreciate this battle. And on top of that, you'll wake up all the other patients. Now I turn only to you, Ragnvindr. Why don't you come to him tomorrow morning, and in the meantime, you can stay at the post with this girl. Just please don't kill each other. - after these admonitions, he vanished, leaving only mint-colored feathers that had fallen to the floor. They had to obey the God of Liberty himself. They ended up sitting on the steps outside the cathedral. They were silent for a while; she personally had nothing to say to him. Moreover, until she sees the change, she is unlikely to trust a man like him. The red-haired man dared to speak first:

- I know you don't have to answer me, but still, why did he decide to betray us? - He asked her with hope in his voice, and she sighed and looked at the guy.

- It was a trick on his part to deceive La Signora, only for what purpose he wouldn't tell me. One thing I'm sure of is that Kaeya didn't want to fight you. - The cryo lady replied dryly as she analyzed the state of the two-handed man. She is absolutely serious about this, for Alberich does care about "brother" after all. The tycoon himself saw it perfectly well, he fought as if dancing and purposely missed to avoid hitting Ragnvindr himself. Only Diluc actually wounded him, almost killing him again. After her words, he pondered his mistake and began to wait until morning. True, towards the end the red-eyed man fell asleep, and she had to keep him alive as well. Morning came, the guy woke up, and the girl had been standing there looking at him obliquely for a long time. For a moment he made a guilty look on his face and thanked him for his answer. Then the magnate went to the chamber to the knight. There he saw the captain of the cavalry staring into the wall, with not a shred of emotion on him. In addition, his body was half frozen, only the only visible eye still glittered after melting and his face remained untouched, but the bandage was a reminder of the past. The red-eyed man walked leisurely toward the one who hadn't noticed his presence at first, and touched his shoulder. The cryo swordsman had a look of consternation in his eye, so he bounced away from the older man. "Why do you come here? You don't care about me!" - thought about it, looking the other way so he wouldn't have to see this man in front of him. Ragnvindr crouched silently beside him, still holding Winterblade by the shoulders.

- Sir Kaeya, are you really that sick? Should I get Barbara? - interested, glancing at his companion. Actually, worried about the lad's well-being, the last thing he wanted to see in front of him was his suffering. Alberich is having trouble breathing now because he is afraid of how he will react to his openness. All the time he was hiding under a mask, and now he is afraid even to say a word in front of him, let alone smile.

- No... It's all right, Master Diluc. There's no need to alarm people over nothing... Moreover, you will be glad of my death, right? I just don't understand one thing... Why didn't you finish me off on Dragon Ridge? - The blue-haired man looked up at the tycoon's hands with a gasp. He imagined them squeezing his throat, and then Kaeya's life was over. Dark Dawn was stunned by these words, and immediately became angry, clenching his teeth.

- You're a complete idiot! Do you realize what your tongue just told me! I don't know anyone who would be happy to see you dead! I know it sounds hypocritical of me, but I realized how wrong I was about you! So, I wanted to tell you that I forgave you a long time ago, and it was less your fault than I imagined. I'm not much better myself, I almost killed you again... - at first, loudly, almost shouting, he announced this to the younger. Ragnvindr thought that after such a thing he would be sent away, but the other didn't care, he began to melt instantly and his body began to return to its usual form. Alberich silently embraced his "brother," knowing that he might push him away, but he didn't. The guy gave him a mutual hug and started stroking his blue hair. After noticed the real emotion, his tears and sincere smile, which was imagined to see 4 years ago. Though he ended up grinning awkwardly as well, which was a rarity. He laughed happily, already casting a glance at the pyro of the two-armed man, Diluc also wanted to remember this very moment. At this time Barbara caught them embracing, she sighed in relief and decided to call everyone else in. The pastor, as if energized, ran after everyone and said loudly: "Kaeye got better! They made up!". After this confession, Ragnvindr looked serene, as if he had grown younger, now he could not be called "Master Diluc. And the other finally got an answer, and they became "brothers in arms" again. The guys got out of bed and immediately all the people who had come to visit the earlier cryo swordsman came over. These people rejoiced that he had recovered and revived, and were surprised to see the tycoon. He was no longer standing like he didn't care about his brother, but with a little chuckle on his face. Only his posture remained closed; he was still a long way from the charm of a cavalry captain. Then they came up and hugged each other, and they decided to celebrate the day, of course, at Diluc's tavern. Even he didn't mind, since he was glad, he did. Only now he had to control the amount of wine so that Kaeya wouldn't drink too much. Even though he says he'll take one glass of Midday Death. The only thing he still doesn't understand about Alberich is his preference for alcohol. But perhaps the record-breaker in revelry remained the bard Venti, who by some miracle was sober and played the lyre beautifully. Jean, along with Lisa, took the dandelion wine, and Amber stands by the table where the knight sits and complains that he lied to her about the mission. At this, the blue-haired man guffaws and laughs completely openly, while Rosaria sits next to him, trying to get used to her renewed friend. Afterwards, the red-haired man joins them and sits across from his brother. It was still difficult for them to communicate with each other, but the first steps were taken. This meant only one thing, that their friendship could be restored.

- Diluc, you should smile more often. - noticed cryo swordsman all this, the other felt out of place, but he was glad to get back to those beginnings, that could finally not pretend, but have normal contact with him. The cold lady got behind the fiery guy and decided she wouldn't stop them from getting to know each other again.

- I'll try; I'd like to see it in your possession as well, Kaeya. - the tycoon said timidly, smiling slightly. Immediately they were joined by Gunnhildr, Minci, and Pegg, who came running in from her performance. They chatted about many things, but most importantly, everyone was happy to see the cavalry captain in good health. Alberich himself rejoiced even more at the fact that they truly needed him so much and cried again. His friends thought he had had too much to drink, but that was not the point; they were tears of happiness.
