Stone Gate

It had been years since I last saw Liyue as a child... And here I thought, they were really all just figments of my imagination, just characters I created within my own mindset... But seeing how things are now and witnessing events based on the storyline of a game called Genshin Impact, I have come to terms....

That this was a load of bullshit.

I sighed dramatically. I knew they were all too real to be fake... The elements, the landscapes, the monsters, and the chests found all over the place.

I'm just sitting on the table just before the stone bridge, while Aether and Venti were out, yet again, hunting for treasures with valuable mora. Venti yapped about how mora is important in Liyue. Poor Aether was convinced about it and joined Venti to venture off to look for them. Yanfei had excused herself and headed on first since she had some sort of issue to handle back at Liyue... So here I am, sitting alone with absolutely nothing to do but groan in boredom.

"Maybe I should have tagged along after all..." I muttered to myself... But the good thing is, I get to enjoy the sunny sky and cool gentle breeze~

If only I had my phone, I can be able to text my mom and brother to tell them I'm alright. I bet they were worried sick about me since Ive been gone for more than I promised them... I wonder how they are.. knowing my brother, he forgets I even exist at times, but we still love each other most of the time. As for mother.... Hm.. she seems to act as if she knows my life here.... That could be just wishful thinking or a mother's intuition of course.

Who knows really.

As I was about to daze off and take a short nap, my forehead slammed on the bamboo table as a mora weasel thief jumped on the back of my head and used it as a leverage boost on its runaway escape.

"Come back here you stupid weasel! That's my allowance money!!" A kid yelled, looking to be on the verge of tears. I rubbed both of my forehead and the back of my head as I looked to he young child with a sky blue hair color chasing after the weasel.

Is this my problem....nah probably not...

The child trips over his own feet and hits his face on the ground. Poor kid is now covering his face and wailing in pain... Now, this is where the part I either decide to laugh at his pain or help him.. though, feeling as if I'm a bully, I decided to help the child instead.

I ran over to him and helped him up and cleaned any dirt and rubble stuck on his face. "Hey now, take it easy.." I told him as the young boy sniffles.

"The weasel took my allowance my uncle gave me..." The kid said with a whimper as I wipe his tears away.

"It'll be okay, I'm sure we can get 500 mora back." I replied, assuming it was that was the amount he kept on his person.

"But...but miss.." The kid said as he finally calms down. "My pouch had 1 mil mora inside.

I choked on air.

"O-ONE MILLION?! WHO-" I began as my thought went into chaos. WHO CARRIES THAT MUCH?! Who is this child?! Does he belong to a rich family?! His uncle must be a sugar uncle!! I cleared my throat and blushed in embarrassment after yelling. "Ah...ahem.... You....you really shouldn't be carrying that mucuoney around you... Of course anyone would steal it.." I said as I looked down the path the weasel left to. "Don't worry, stay here, I'll get your money back."

I stood up and began jogging the way the weasel went to. I'm still surprise anyone carries that much around... I can understand Aether doing it since he's helping his friends ascend to a stronger level.

Timeskip

It took almost thirty minutes to find the little rascal. It made little tracks leaving me with no choice but to follow it... Only to conclude that it was just toying with me and that it hopped onto the grass to throw me off.... Smart little guy...
