   I had just Left mondstat and was now headed to Liyue harbor where Morax was currently staying. He had told me his plan of how he would become known as the mortal named zhongli, so I was to go to a funeral parlor and look for him there.

This time was probably the only time I had my hopes up while traveling  to go to liyue. A faint glimmer of hope was resident inside me. Alatus..he who I hadn't seen in many millennial, he's one of morax's adeptus more commonly known as the vigilant yaksha, such a stupid name if I say so myself

~...~

I arrived at the wangshu inn, apperantly this had been created about fifty years ago so that was pleasant to know. It was late at night so I knew it was the perfect time to do this. I checked in using some of the leftover mora I had and ate dinner

about an hour or two later I silently crept up to the top floor of the inn, unfortunately for me I was in my night gown so you could hear the rustling of a long lose dress but hopefully no-one noticed...

I held up my candle above my head in hopes I wouldn't trip over any stairs.  

As I approached the balcony I gasped at the view. it was beautiful, it had the prettiest stars in the sky, and there where glowing lights far ahead that where most likely liyue harbor.

 I had always loved  watching pretty sights with Alatus

If I'm lucky I'll see Him in liyue too, but unfortunately I'm  not here for him but only the gnosis checks.

I sighed stepping away from the balcony and headed towards my room, a deep and sorrowful feeling dwelling in my chest. 

I really did want to spend more quality time with Alatus, the last time I did was about three or four hundred years after he was selected as a yaksha for rexlapis, and that was about two thousand years ago at the least.

I yawned, as my head hit the pillows drifting into sleep.

That night I had a really weird dream about that one time Alatus told me how Morax ate a cryo slime whole just because Barbatos said he couldn't do it.

I woke up the next morning to some person's dog barking their head off, as I headed down to buy some food for breakfast I tripped down the stairs and as I was making my breakfast I burnt the rice that I was cooking......this was going to be a long day, I kinda just felt it.

I left wangshu inn and continued to head towards liyue harbor. On my way there, I was mindlessly walking, thinking about what I was gonna have for lunch when I bumped into a stranger.

"Oh sorry girlie" a male voice spoke to me, looked up to see a Ginger male looking down at me with a slight smirk

"U-uh thanks I guess mister.. umm" I hesitated indicating for him to introduce himself

"Oh yeah, I'm childe number eleven of the fatui harbingers but I also go by Tartaglia" he smiled giving off a mischievous aura.

"I'm Ying wang, hmm a child of shneznya I see, and your a fatui.....are you perhaps, working for the ice archon, she has a maiden working for her who calls herself La Señora nowadays, I need to meet her in the future so you could maybe help me..?" I said giving him a hopeful look.

I knew she paid no attention to her people whatsoever so I get it was right to not say her name.

His gaze hardened, his eyes becoming darker yet he feigned a happy appearance 

"Oh yeah, sorry about that but I can't really help you, she barely even lets us talk to her" the  ginger chuckled

"Oh what a shame" I said looking at the ground

then out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright blue hydro vision dangling at the hem of his shirt.I really did appreciate that Fontain was using my creations to give to mortals.

" my your a vision user? What a beauty it is too, hydro right?" I said trying to ease the tension a bit. This didn't seem to help, so I tried to do my best to keep moving.

" g-goodbye, I really must be going. I have a person to meet, umm goodbye now" I said before hurrying away

What a strange girl, she looks really young yet she seeks the tsaritsa, and she acts as though she knows her already.............strange. 

Anyways time to head to the golden house, that gnosis won't steal itself
