chapter one

3rd Person POV;

Running from Hilichurls, what a lovely way to begin the day. "Oh shit," you mumbled underneath your breath. You didn't feel like fighting as you were already injured enough. You had just gotten your vision not long ago, you didn't even know how to fight, resulting in a wound on your leg that profusely hurt. You were currently living in Liyue. You didn't necessarily have a home, you just camped in tents. Your parents just disappeared one morning, you've been ever so desperate to find them since.

You sigh, still running for your life. After about three minutes of running, you had to stop. You were about to pass out. You look behind you, noticing nothing's behind you anymore. You sigh a sigh of relief. Only bad thing was: you were lost. "Damn it, why. Stupid Hilichurls, I don't even know where I am," you complained, sitting down holding your head.

You sat there. Probably for about ten minutes now. "Oh my god, what if I stave to death?!" You gasped, slapping a rock. "Ouch!" You squealed. You groaned and began to lay in the grass. It was surprisingly sunny and warm out. "At least I'll die peacefully I guess," you said, staring at the sky, beginning to close your eyes.

"Um...miss?" You heard a soft voice say. You open your eyes, seeing a person with blue hair and horns. "AH! Oh my....wait... you're Ganyu!" You announced, beginning to sit up quite fast. "Um, yes, I am...um...are you just...sitting out here?" Ganyu simply asked. "Long story short, I got lost..." You nervously laughed, scratching the back of your neck. "That..makes sense. You're out here in the middle of Jueyun Karst. Plus, I.. haven't seen you before? Perhaps you've never been in Liyue before? Sorry if I sound rude! I'm not meaning to be!" Ganyu panicked. You stayed silent. You knew Ganyu was of great importance as she was the Secretary at the Yuehai Pavilion, and she's an adeptus, but you didn't know her.

"... I've lived in Liyue my whole life....or at least I think?" You said, looking slightly to the right. "Oh..have I just not seen you before then? I'm sorry for sounding rude..!" Ganyu said, eyes widening. "You're fine. I don't care if people know me or not. It doesn't matter," you confessed. "Alright then....would you like me to lead you back to Liyue Harbor then?" Ganyu asked. "If you want," you sighed, shrugging your shoulders, starting to get off the ground. Ganyu smiled, so you smiled back. Not wanting to offend her. Offending someone of such high status would be unacceptable.

The walk back was silent. No one talked. Though, you were extremely grateful Ganyu found you, if not you probably would have perished within an hour. You couldn't track time but you, for sure, knew it was probably 5 in the afternoon. Of course, you didn't have anything to do, but this was usually when you ate.

After, probably two hours, you arrived. "Thank you, Ganyu. I appreciate it," you said, showing a light bow to her. "Of course, miss," Ganyu smiled. She walked off. "Why did I even come here? I have no friends," you sighed. "I'm done with Liyue, I mean it's nice and all, and it's my homeland, but I have no friends here," you whispered to yourself, trying not to cry, but it was hard. Maybe you'd actually have a good life if your parents didn't disappear. You don't even know where they went.

"My only options are Inazuma or Mondstadt.." you pondered this question over and over again. You couldn't decide. "Maybe I could find a friend in Inazuma...since it's across an ocean," you thought out loud. You nodded, "yes I'll choose Inazuma,"

You counted all of your Mora, you needed a boat ride to Inazuma and you knew only Captain Beidou could take you. The Crux Fleet was amazing at many things. You had 24,728 mora in total. "I hope she'll allow this much..." You begged, to yourself. Though, you didn't know where to find Beidou. You had never even met Beidou, so you contemplated the chances of you even getting a ride. The one thing you did know was that she usually parked the Alcor a little ways out past Guyun Stone Forest. So, that's where you wanted to set foot near.

Though you were extremely tired, you just wanted to reach your destination. You'd only got a few miles in, but you needed a rest. Your leg strength wasn't very good at all, you never did anything when you didn't have a vision, and since you only got your vision recently, you wanted to get better stamina and overall strength. Is wasn't going that well though. You paused, deciding to take a little break a little ways past the entrance to Liyue Harbor. You were calm until a certain thought came to mind. "How would I even get to Guyun Stone Forest? I couldn't swim that far," you thought. You just decided to scratch that idea.

You decided to think about your decision more. You could just go to Mondstadt, sure you had to walk quite a ways but you wouldn't have to travel on a boat across a whole ocean. You groaned. This was stupid in your opinion. Why couldn't things just go properly? You ignored the negative feelings and began to ponder where you could find a boat. "Perhaps I could find one laying around Yaoguang Shoal, there must've been some people who left their boats there...hopefully" you said. You got up, and continued walking.

An hour had passed, you had finally reached the bridge that had sperated Guili Plains and Mingyun Village, though you just needed to go left and you'd be at your destination. You made a loud groan like sigh and continued. "Well if course, the bridge is broken," you semi-yelled, taking a deep, clearly annoyed sigh. You used the wind glider you, well sort of stole, and made it across. Now all you had to do was look for a boat, and hoping to find one you began to walk onto Yaoguang Shoal.

The same crushing, or just moving, underneath your feet was some what satisfying to you. You had walked across almost all of Yaoguang Shoal and still, no boat. You were about to give up hope and just go to Mondstadt. Right as you were about to turn around though, you saw a small boat that could possibly take you to Inazuma. You smiled.

You ran towards the boat, hopped in, and began the treacherous journey to Inazuma.
