Xiao's POV
We were passing by a Statue of the Seven representing the Tsaritsa where Aether made a quick detour. I wanted to stop him but what he did was... how do you put it.. abnormal. Aether somehow obtained Cryo powers... from touching a Statue of the Seven representing the Cryo Archon... Perhaps, this is also how he got his Geo and Anemo powers from.
I could sense Y/n's presence as we near the walls of the Tsaritsa's castle. The amount of karmic debt radiating around the castle was intense. Y/n.. I ran towards the castle but was stopped by Zhongli.
"We must follow our plan." Right.. the plan.. ... what's wrong with me? Why did I... A quieter voice inside answers me, an answer I cannot admit a second time, at least not now. Y/n needs help, by doing it I would bring trouble for them instead.

Y/n's POV
"*huff* ... *huff* ... you.. won't succeed.." I said, exhausted from the endless battle. I can't fight anymore.. she'll take over me.. I created a shield made with Adepti Arts around me.
"Close the gates. Tartaglia, take care of the rest of them." Dottorre said with satisfaction. Once Childe defeated the rest, Dottorre strides over to me with a purple-filled substance in a syringe.
"Since you won't fight, this little thing will do the trick." Childe restrains me from moving, unlike Dottorre, he didn't use a lot of force. Everything went black.

Xiao's POV
Night fell, and I still can't sense their presence. Please be ok.. I kept pacing about. The plan was to ambush them at night and be able to follow Y/n's aura. But I can't sense it anymore. From noon til now, there isn't anything! So many things are going through my mind. What if Y/n was knocked unconscious in a sealed room? What if Y/n killed themself? What if Y/n is stubborn enough to try and escape but got killed? What if..
Aether stopped me by the shoulders. "Do you sense anything yet?" He asked.
"... No.. I can't.. ... What if.. we were too late..?" I felt an overwhelming feeling when I said the last part.
"Paimon's sure that Y/n will be alright. But Paimon also has a bad feeling about this. What if something happens in Liyue Harbour while two of the Adepti are not present?" Paimon speculated.
Aether let out a hum as if considering Paimon's thought. "It doesn't add up.. What could Y/n have that would lead to them being held captive? They're just an Adeptus like any other."
Aether's words played on repeat in my head for a brief moment. "The stone.." Y/n told me about this artifact at Guyun not long ago. The only way the Fatui would know about it is if someone was spying on us.
Zhongli, Aether, and Paimon looked towards me in confusion. "Y/n possess a stone which transforms humans into what they called vampires. They are immortal beings that feed on blood."
"A stone that can turn humans into monsters!?" Paimon blurted out.
"Y/n was not a monster..." I muttered.
"Huh!? So you're telling Paimon that Y/n was once human and turned into a vampire and now they're an Adeptus?" Shit.. I said it out loud. I was about to retort Paimon when Aether interjected.
"It doesn't matter whether or not Y/n was turned into a vampire before. What matters now is saving them."
"Ugh.. you have a point," Paimon replied.
"Hmm.. what is the best way to infiltrate the Tsaritsa's castle without altering the guards?" Zhongli asked.
The four of us then brainstormed other ideas to find Y/n.
