#sagau tartaglia
Don’t have the brain power to write a proper chapter right now but please enjoy a series of in game scenes I think took place before [Name] entered Teyvat.
For a bit of context, click here.
Is this just an excuse to write scenes of some of my favs? Perhaps.

The sun in Liyue was always incredibly warm, it beat down on Razor’s now tattered form as he pulled back from the broken shield of a mitachurl and readied his Claymore for yet another damaging blow, electricity crackling in air.
As he landed a solid hit, sending the large creature staggering backwards, He felt himself being pulled away, the world around him flickering as he found himself back in the woods of Wolvendom, his scrapes beginning to sting as he left The Guide’s presence.
It was a few minutes later, after he sat down to rest, when he was pulled back to the now destroyed monster camp. The ground beneath him was warm and glowing a shade of red that put him at ease.
The soothing temperature of [Name]’s influence highlighted the ease he currently felt, yet his sight flickered once more, going black for a moment before once more returning to him. He found himself standing on unseen flooring, sparks of electro filling the purple room.
As his sight returned, he looked forward to catch a glimpse of his Guide.
They looked down at him with a smile and their words were heard clearly “Do I have enough? Do I have enough?”
He felt their touch move from his head, moving over quickly to an unseen button and a screen he had seen so many times before, their hand hovering over a white button that they then clicked.
Their face then light up with joy “AYO! RAZOR ASCENSION MATERIALS COMPLETE!” They shouted, causing him to flinch back before quickly returning to his previous position and smiling back.
“We’re gonna build you up and make you so fucking cool! So close to full ascension! Are you excited? I know I am!” Their joy was infectious, their continual praise over his strength and announcements of how much better he would become caused his chest to swell with pride.
He was safe with them, so whenever [Name] called for him, he’d listen. They had offered him a family he thought he would never get to have and he’d rather die than disappoint them now.

It was half past noon at the Golden house when Tartaglia made his arrival, he was running a little late but it was fine, after all The Guide’s main team didn’t arrive until the evening so he had until then.
He checked himself over in a handheld mirror he had once bought before one of these meetings and attempted to give it as an offering. It was cracked after that battle, Aether seemed to delight in crushing it underneath his shoes.
Regardless, Tartaglia kept it on hand, the cracks were stained with blood but he considered that a sign of good use.
He sighed to himself, hand moving down to his pockets to grab ahold of a new item he planned to offer to the team with the hope it could be of use. It was quite the pain to obtain so he hoped it would go to good use.
Upon learning of Their Grace’s unusual fascination with any items found in domains, he made it his personal goal to provide them with the best objects he could find, last time being one of those books the group had been gathering, this time he would offer a feather he had found within a chest, the blue shades starkly in contrast with the red on the tip. Perhaps he should set it to the side so it wouldn’t be ruined during the fight.
He had been told on several occasions that his obsession with gaining The Guide’s acknowledgement would lead to nothing but he had to try. Why you may ask? Tartaglia is a competitive soul, the idea of being the first Harbinger to gain this gods blessing was a tempting one indeed and with The Tarista having granted permission, that’s what he would do.
Zhongli had describe the feeling of their summon as a call from the sky and all of Teyat urging him to listen, Tartaglia was always willing to hear that call, to receive that strength, even if he simply answered in someone else’s place, the moment he heard it, he would come.
He needed that strength, that power that this god offered, most of all, he needed to be a part of their constant battles.

As the clock sounded the hour, it pulled Klee’s attention away from the food she had on hand and towards the bag of her own she had left in the corner of the room.
With a glance towards Albedo, who was currently still eating after being pulled down to Knight of Favonius headquarters, she stood up and grabbed her bag. “I’ll be back soon!” She told him with a smile and he raised an eyebrow “Be careful, and please be back within the hour.”
She nodded and ran out the door, her steps echoing throughout the finely kept hallways.
She swore she planned to be back when Albedo told her to be but as her tests of fish blasting continued as the sun began to set, she eventually looked up towards the sky.
It looked so peaceful and the world felt rather serene. She took a moment to prepare her next explosive when the sky lit up in beautiful shades of blue, purple highlights soaring through it all.
She grinned and set the bomb down gentle before plopping down on the grass around her, watching the stars streak through the sky, until she heard a voice behind her.
“Klee.”
She whirled around, expecting to see Albedo standing there but instead was met with an unexpected sight.
The wind was flowing gently around her yet it whipped itself together in a humanoid shape, each leaf, piece of grass and fallen stick forming the shape of a person quite a bit taller than her. It seemed to smile and point upwards, towards the colorful sky. The wind spoke again.
“Klee. Listen. Answer.”
She held her breath, not out of fear but in the attempt to hear what this person wanted and so she could answer what this person wanted to know.
Then she heard the sound from above. “C'mon, c'mon! Give me the chaos child!”
She fully looked upwards, staring into a purple star that shone across the sky once more, then the voice echoed again. “Oh c'mon! Just let me complete my collection of powerful children! Wait… that sounds wrong out of content. Please Hoyo, I just want the gremlin child! Let me make a chaos team. Come home Klee..”
She tilted her head in confusion and looked back towards the humanoid shape who point skywards once more. “Answer. Say yes. Go home.. Now.” The voice from the form changed from welcoming to cold and Klee flinched back, she looked towards another star and focused on it before muttering under her breath. “Yes… I’ll come home.”
She watched in awe as the star shifted from a blue to a golden and separated from the others.
A warmth flooded her body, blocking out the cold of the evening and she felt a joy fill her body. “AW YEAH! HEY KIDDO! NEXT UP ALBEDO FOR A FULL CHAOS TEAM!”
Klee smiled. She wasn’t scared and nothing in this world could or would hurt her anymore. She couldn’t wait to tell Albedo all about it.
