I slowly walked down the trail ahead of me, making my way to the inn where i would be staying at for the night. I carried my bag by my side and my sword in the other. The sun started to set as I had finally arrived upon the inn. I took the elevator up and was greeted by A lady at the front desk.

My eyes wandered around the room before I approached the woman at the front desk

"May i have a room for one night please." I reached into my pocket and slid a small amount of mora across the desk for payment.

"Certainly" the lady reached under the desk and grabbed a key, gently placing it in my hand.

"Enjoy your stay." The lady smiled at me as i walked up the stairs to my room with my key in hand.

"Thanks" I turned around and smiled at her before opening the door to my room, gently closing it behind me as i entered.

I unpacked all my stuff i would need for the night and changed into some fresh clothes. I had been traveling all day and i was exhausted, my legs were aching and I immediately found myself laying down in the bed provided in the room until I drifted asleep shortly after, waiting for the morning.

My eyes fluttered open as rays of sunlight filled the and room hit me right in the face. I sat up and held my arm out in front of my eyes, blocking the sun from blinding me any further. I rolled out of bed to tidy myself up. After changing clothes and brushing my hair i gathered all my belongings i unpacked lastnight, packing them into the same small bag from before. I grabbed my vision off the dresser and began tying it to my belt, then grabbed my sword off the wall where it leaned in a corner and I quickly left my room.

I walked down the spiral stairs and made my way back down to the front desk to check out.

"I hope you enjoyed your stay, miss." The lady beamed at me with a big smile as she waved at me on my way out.

"Thanks! Have a good day" I smiled back at her as I made my way to the elevator. I stood patiently in the middle of the elevator, waiting to get to the bottom. When I reached the bottom realization finally struck me.. "I forgot to ask for directions to liyue harbor-" I groaned as i stepped back in to the elevator. I walked back up the stairs to the front desk once again. The lady looked up at me from her desk where she was doing paper work.

"Did you forget something???" She asked with concern as she stood tall.

"Yeah uh can you give me directions to liyue harbor?.." I awkwardly stood in front of the desk feeling like a fool for some reason.
The lady smiled and giggled softly. "Certainly." The lady gave me simple directions to my destination, "is that all?" She asked "yeah. Thank you so much again!" I ran off and stepped back into the elevator for the final time. As I reached the ground I quickly sprinted off as I was behind behind schedule and didn't want the boat to leave without me.

I finally arrived at the front gates of the city, I was quickly pushing through the noisy crowd desperately trying to get to the dock before it was too late. I arrived at the dock where I climbed up onto the boat. Out of breathe I rested my hands on my knees and let out a sigh of relief as I wiped the sweat from my forehead. I settled down as they loaded my few belongings onto the ship.

After a few minutes 3 men dragged the anchor that was restraining the ship from moving from out of the water onto the ship deck, allowing the ship to slowly set sail. The voyage has now begun. People were surrounding the dock waving goodbye as the the town grew smaller and the boat sailed farther away. The breeze picked up and crashed against the cloth of the sails, that's when it really hit me. A huge breeze flew by, flowing through my hair. The air smelled strongly of seaweed and fish, but it felt amazing as the breeze combed through my h/l hair. There was not a single thought in my mind. The ocean stretched out for miles and the deep blue water shined in the sunlight. I leaned against the railing admiring the breathtaking view in front of me.

Men and a few women all around me were doing work. Sweeping the deck, carrying crates, handling the sails, or watching out from above.

I snapped back into reality after realizing I should probably get to know the crew. I talked to each person I felt confident enough to approach, shaking their hand. Each of them were friendly, Some of them that spoke wigt me were quite lovely to talk to! I looked around when a tall Brunette female caught my eye. The girl who I assumed was the captain. she stood tall with one hand on her hip, the other above her forehead as she scouted the area. I swallowed my nerves and anxiously walked up the stairs where she stood to greet her and introduce myself. Before I could even say anything, her attention went straight to me.

"Ahh Y/n! Is that correct?"

The tall dark brown haired women slightly shouted as she removed her arm from her forehead and rested it at her side while the other remained on her hip.

"I- Yes thats correct, Y/n L/n. Im excited to be here, and I hope i can remain on this ship to Voyage with you, Captain Beidou"

The brunette rested her hand on your back "Well in that case, Welcome to the crew!" She chuckled.

"Thank you so much, it is a great honor to be here, to stand in your presence on this very ship.

The brunette chucked again and gave me a grin as she rested both hands on her hips, "I like your attitude, I can tell we are going to get along just fine." She laughed as she stood tall and the wind blew past her features.

I stood slouched and nervous beside captain Beidou as she talked about the voyage, She looked over the crew members as if she were making sure they did their job. I began admiring the features and details of the ship, my attention went from the sails, then to the sail beams. That's when somebody specific above caught my eye.
