Dawnbreaker | Xiao x Reader

Seagazing and Ice crane

Shenhe followed us as we walk up the green hill.

"Hey look, a seelie!" Pointed out Paimon.

"Let's follow it." I nod.

Paimon flew after me as I walked ahead.

"Where is it going?" Asked Paimon, confused.

"It's going towards the abode perhaps?" I asked.

"It sure is." Noted ShenHe as we entered Sea Gazer's abode.

Inside, thick clouds floated around with heavy white mist clouding our visions.

"So many clouds?!" Squeaked Paimon.

"Its the defence mechanism of Seagazer's abode, and this abode seems to be infested with monsters." Noted Shenhe.

"Is there a way to clear the clouds and mist?" I asked as I took out dawnbreaker.

"Yes, just defeat the monsters and activate the mechanism if you wish to walk further into the abode." Replied Shenhe.

"Thanks." I replied.

"Also some of the clouds are not real clouds. They are the product of an adepti art used for spatuak partitioning." Shenhe explains.

"Noted." Paimon replies.

We started clearing the monsters together.

Paimon helped us activate the mechanism.

The clouds, mist and the platform we were standing on instantly dissappeared.

Wind rushed to my face as I fell.

Shocked, I quickly used my glider to stop myself from free falling.

"That was close." I breathed.

"You scared me for sure!" Yelled Paimon.

"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you this, but after you clear out this area you will have to glide again." Shenhe apologizes to us.

"Its fine, I figured." I replied as I let out a small laugh.

Ruin guards somehow found themselves here.

I dealt with one while Shenhe dealt with the other one.

Paimon was frantically trying to get the mechanism to work.

"Erm A little help?!" She squeaks.

"Ok." I reply as I went over and pressed the switch.

I quickly grasped onto the mechanism, I let go as I glided safely down.

Shenhe landed neatly beside me.

"After you clear this floor, you should be able to find the vermillionite." She replies.

"No more gliding?" I asked hopefully.

"This one won't make you glide." Replied Shenhe.

"Okay." I replied.

We readied our weapons and visions.

Hilichurls, samachurl and a lawachurl, with two ruin guards lumbered towards us.

Shenhe readied her talismens, I summoned my anemo energy.

The wind and ice swirled the enemies.

After defeating the enemies and activating the mechanism, the seel in front of us dissappeared as it revealed the huge sunset vermillionite.

Shenhe stepped up and somehow picked up the huge sunset vermillionlite, carrying it using her own strength and adeptal sigils.

"Wow! So strong!" Paimon complimented Shenhe.
