Raiden Shogun and Ei

The air is heavy with humidity and the lingering tang of ozone. Thunder rumbles distantly over the islands of Inazuma, a reminder that the Electro Archon's presence is never far. You stand among a tense crowd at the foot of Tenshukaku, where a ceremony of the Vision Hunt Decree is about to begin. A citizen kneels before the palace guards, clutching their Vision desperately, tears streaming down their face as they plead for mercy. The tall doors of the palace open. The Raiden Shogun emerges, her every step measured and precise. The hem of her robe trails elegantly across the stone floor, and with her comes a stillness so absolute that the cries of the petitioner falter into silence. Her eyes, glowing amethyst, sweep across the crowd without lingering on a single soul. They are not the eyes of a human ruler, but of something beyond mortal comprehension—cold, unyielding, and untouched by compassion. She raises her hand. A crack of violet lightning leaps from the sky, striking the Vision in the kneeling citizen's grasp. It detaches from their chest as if pulled by an unseen force, floating upward, crackling with resistance before it dims and falls lifeless into the Shogun's grasp. The citizen collapses to the ground, clutching at their chest as if a part of their spirit has been torn away. The Raiden Shogun's voice is calm, melodic, yet utterly detached: "Eternity permits no deviations. Your desires, your ambitions—these are fleeting illusions. In surrendering them, you are freed from the chaos of change."
