Chapter Text
This world had hated its creator for quite some time.
By world, lauma meant everyone in it hated the creator.
Everyone hated the high one because of how little they actually did for the world, during the time everyone did revere their grace people had prayed to them thousands of times for things like famine, war, and drought.
It all went unanswered. Nobody who prayed was saved, Khaenri'ah was destroyed and cursed by the one working for the heavenly principles, the false ruler in the sky. Hundreds and even thousands were killed by the archon wars. The leylines started to falter, yet no matter how many people prayed and sacrificed the creator did nothing.
So overtime your name ended up hated.
Lauma hated you too, once.
It was one day shortly after the heavenly principles weighed down upon khaenri'ah that she discovered the truth.
—--------------------------------
Walking down increasingly maze like passageways in nature, lauma caught a glimpse of gold, out of curiosity she followed it.
it was because of those gold footprints that lauma found a hidden entrance to a cave she hadn't previously known was there.
The more lauma walked,The more the rocks became Increasingly sharper and the more plants grew with bigger and bigger thorns.
then she saw it.
The corpse of this worlds creator, the corpse of you.
It had been mutilated so much the the only reason lauma could tell was the body of the creator was the dried golden blood littered in and around the corpse.
The face was unrecognizable, both it's eyes been pierced with swords, and mouth ripped open in a way no mouth should ever be opened.
their body wasn't that much better, at least 15 swords all made themselves home in the creator's stomach, the rest of them all being scattered around your arms and legs.
Is this-is this the reason why all those prayers went unanswered, why you didn't save anyone- because you couldn't!?
You weren't just dead, you'd been tortured.
It was not that hard to put two and two together.
It had been Celestia and the heavenly principles that convinced the world the most to hate you, they wanted to dethrone you of your position.
They killed you and then used your absence to make everyone hate you.
How dare they.
The heavenly principles were intruders on this world, the archons were intruders that were welcomed, they stole the dragons-your children's power and then had the audacity to do this!?
Lauma ended up having a mental breakdown that took her years to calm down from.
(Eventually learning that even now hundreds, maybe even thousands of years later after your death, your physical body is still producing elemental energy, thus keeping everyone alive. It caused her to relapse)
After that nod krai became the only place in teyvat to worship the creator, because even in death you were still trying to help them.
Years later when she stumbled across a piece of the creator's soul that fell off and became human lauma knew she'd have to protect you, the rest of the world still hated you. She couldn't let you leave.
But she also didn't want you to know the rest of the world hated you, that would be too awful for you. If she could she would reveal the creator's death to the rest of the world but then The heavenly principles would take notice and nod krai would suffer the same fate as khaenri'ah.
So she took you. She's not proud of it but it was to protect you. She tricked you and then locked you in an underground bunker, making the lightkeeper your protector and Warren.
Lauma did feel bad, so she got you a bunch of cats, they're mother had died protecting them so Lauma made sure her children ended up in the best hands possible.
While brushing your hair lauma ignored the voice in the back of her head that whispered that there was no guarantee the heavenly principles would ever wake up to even punish nod krai for telling the truth, that she was selfish for keeping you all to herself and a select few.
She ignored it all until the only other people aware of the truth stepped onto her lands.
The fatui.
End.
