A few seconds later.
As the subtitles gradually disappeared, images began to appear on the giant screen.
【“Lord Ergolya, humans are so happy and romantic. We want to be like humans, to have love and family, and to live a happy and fulfilling life.”】
【On the surface of the sea, a group of Pure Water Sprites surrounded the soaring Ergolya, telling the Lord of Fontaine's waters of their wishes.】
【“I understand your wishes, my kin, but as a god, I do not have the power or qualifications to create humans.”】
【“Lord Ergolya, you are a god, surely you have a way.”】
【“Look, on this wasteland, there are hardly any humans left. Let us join them as humans and dedicate ourselves to the construction of Fontaine.”】
【“.........”】
【Ergolya's Pure Water Sprite kin pleaded with her with great longing.】
【Ergolya glanced at the ruins left behind by the collapse of the Remuria Dynasty, then responded to her kin's wishes.】
【She stole the power of the Primordial Ocean from its deepest depths and used it to shape her Pure Water Sprite kin into humans, one by one.】
【With the addition of these human-like beings, this wasteland of Fontaine soon became vibrant with life.】
【One day later.】
【Celestia discovered that Ergolya had stolen the power of the Primordial Ocean and shaped Pure Water Sprites into humans.】
【Fearing Celestia's judgment, Ergolya led the people of Fontaine to plead for forgiveness.】
【But, Celestia's punishment still fell upon them.】
【“Ergolya, you have dared to steal the power of the Primordial Ocean and shape human-like beings. In time, the humans of Fontaine will vanish.”】
【“The ocean will drown the land, and all will dissolve in the sea. Only the Water God will sit alone on her throne and weep. Thus, the sins of the people of Fontaine will finally be washed away.”】
【Celestia brought down a prophecy that would surely befall Fontaine one day in the future.】
【It was a prophecy, but also a punishment.】
Nahida: “This scene perfectly matches the first stone tablet we were looking for!”
Klee: “So, prophecies are never false!”
Charlotte: “But why didn’t everyone dissolve into the sea?”
Paimon: “Of course, it’s because of Wriothesley! He made the people of Fontaine true humans, so they wouldn’t dissolve.”
Charlotte: “Oh, I see. So, it was Wriothesley who saved us?”
Wriothesley: “I was simply a part of the aftermath. The one who truly saved the people of Fontaine was the Water God.”
Cyno: “I’ve heard about the prophecy of Fontaine. So, it came about like this.”
Alhaitham: “So, the original sin of the people of Fontaine was that they weren’t truly human.”
Nahida: “That’s why, before the prophecy was fulfilled, the people of Fontaine would dissolve in the Primordial Ocean.”
Lisa: “If they weren’t truly human, then how did the people of Fontaine continue from a thousand years ago to the present? If they weren’t truly human, based on their physiological structure, it wouldn’t seem like they could reproduce like normal humans.”
Nahida: “I’m not sure. Anyway, I know I was born to my mother.”
Wriothesley: “It’s because of the Dewspring Well. Most couples in Fontaine go to the Dewspring Well in front of the Opéra de la Fontaine to pray for children, and it’s not just a psychological effect.”
Wriothesley: “The Dewspring Well is the convergence point of all water sources in Fontaine, so there are many Pure Water Sprites there. Whenever a couple in Fontaine comes to the Dewspring Well to pray for a child, a Pure Water Sprite who desires to become human will be reborn into the woman's womb and be born as a child after a period of time.”
Klee: “Oh, is that so?”
Leyser: “Ha, that’s pretty interesting, isn’t it?”
Meanwhile.
“So, the prophecy is real...?”
“But, I wasn’t dissolved when the sea flooded Fontaine. How do you explain that?”
“I don’t know, but it must be that Wriothesley and Furina did something. After all, there were definitely people dissolved by the Primordial Ocean in the opera house!”
“Right? When the prophecy was beginning to take effect, there were a lot of people dissolving in the Bains de Fontaine region, how could it be false?”
“Exactly! I heard that when the Rosaria and her Knights of Favonius were rescuing people, two of Nahida’s personal aides were dissolved by the Primordial Ocean!”
“That’s terrifying! Thank goodness for Furina and Wriothesley! Otherwise, we would have been dissolved too!”
“.......”
Many people in Fontaine and the Opéra de la Fontaine were buzzing with discussion.
The video on the giant screen continued to play.
【“Fucaros, you should know about the prophecy, right? The responsibility of changing Celestia's prophecy and saving Fontaine is entrusted to you.”】
【The Cataclysm of Khaenri'ah, the Black Serpent Tide swept over the seven nations of Teyvat.】
【In order to suppress the exit of the Abyss Order's Black Serpent Tide, Ergolya died bravely.】
【Before her death, she entrusted her godhood and Fontaine's prophecy to her Pure Water Sprite kin, Fucaros.】
【After receiving the godhood and God's Heart from Ergolya, Fucaros submerged into the ocean.】
【“Changing Celestia's prophecy and saving Fontaine... that’s too much trouble. Lord Ergolya is putting too much faith in me.”】
【Fucaros muttered to herself.】
【While she said that, Fucaros began to think about how to change the prophecy and save Fontaine.】
【I don’t know how long she thought, until the clams around her began to bubble, Fucaros finally thought of a solution.】
【So.】
【She returned to the Opéra de la Fontaine and separated her ‘personality.’】
【“Furi... Furina!”】
【Hearing someone call her, Furina, who had just been separated, suddenly opened her eyes, a little panicked: “Eh? Who? Who is calling me? Where are you?”】
【“Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, I’m right in front of you.”】
【That gentle and divine voice came again, and Furina realized that there was a figure that looked exactly like her in the mirror in front of her.】
【“No, no, no, that’s not right!” Furina leaned closer, confused and surprised: “What’s going on… are you me in the mirror?”】
【“Yeah.”】
【Fucaros nodded and said: “That’s not a bad name either, so I’ll be ‘you in the mirror’ then.”】
【“Me in the mirror… you, you, you’re looking for me for something?” Furina pondered for a moment and asked.】
