Solar Eclipse [xiaother]

chapter 3

It was in the middle of the night. The traveler couldn't sleep well, something was bothering him.
He kept watching the moon through the window, thinking about the missing person. The Adeptus or his sister, you may ask? Both of them actually.
His head was full of thoughts and memories from the last months. Suddenly started to tear up. "C'mon, Aether, stop with this nonsense" he told himself.
Meanwhile, in another world under Teyvat, that looked like the Chasm, but worse, Xiao woke up under a heavy rock. Once he opened his eyes, a scream came out of his mouth. The Adeptus started to search for his weapon, but couldn't find anything around. It was too dark in there, the only source of light being his vision. He took it and saw. The anemo vision he was holding was broken. With his physical strengh, Xiao tried to move the rock to get free. He felt tired and could barely move, so just kept walking slowly forward without knowing where the path was going to lead him. The boy had no idea where he was, but it kinda...looked familiar.
The next morning. Aether and Paimon woke up quickly with high hopes. The two of them went to the restaurant where the letter was left to take some food to-go. But also, the blonde guy mentioned
A: Excuse me, chef...was he here?
The man answered with a straight "no" and kept doing his work. They both left the place with ruined hopes. As they finished the last stair, someone quickly grabbed their heads from back, putting his hands on their eyes. "Now you see me as the son of The Adepti God, Alatus." the person talked through mind. The traveler and his friend turned around. "Xiao?..." they both said.
"So this is the name he goes by..." Alatum thought.
