[ lumine instinctively pulls aether's arm as well, quickly drawing her twin brother close when that spear pierces through the cryo archon. she's not the first archon to fall, after all, and she's more than aware of the repercussion of the death of one. and it seems that childe has predicted the same thing, tugging the both of them against him to once more steady their footing.
when the dust finally settles, cold air seemingly swirling around them, she can see the look of despair in his eyes. the archon, after all, was someone he admired, someone he looked up to; she was a beacon to him, someone who held a place in his heart that even she could not completely occupy. her hand brushes against his cheek beneath his mask, wishing she could ease the burden of his anguish. ]

[ they can mourn the dead later, however, when they celebrate their victory. her twin brother, his gaze averted as if to give them a moment's privacy, tugs at her arm to pull her back to her feet. the usurper god hovers above them, its attention locked onto a portal opening somewhere to their side. a man in black and blue steps out, followed by a hoard of strange creatures.

[ ajax, take lumine and go! don't worry, i'll be right behind you, sister.
lumine glances back to see wings emerge from aether's back, her brother disappearing in a streak of light hurtling towards the goddess. but even before she can change her mind to help him out, she's parrying a blow with her sword, the flash of light powerful enough to wipe them out. the usurper god has turned to them, its full attention now directed at her.
