10.

-Y/n-
After much walking,I finally got into a small city.Not many people since it's midnight but many places to go.This looks nice.I look around in hope to find a place to stay and warm up a little until I continue my walk.

I notice some kind of..tavern? Or something like that.I can try.I go and walk inside,the smell of alcohol hitting my nose.At least it's very warm in here.Finally some warmth I only encountered coldness since I left.

"Hello how can I help you?" A woman asks from behind the bar."Oh sorry I'm uh..I'm a bit lost" I say.She scans me head to toe and nods."Can you tell me how can I leave Shezhnaya?" I ask and she looks at me.

"Well it depends where you want to go.Teyvat is a huge place so it depends" she says."Anywhere.Anywhere but not here" I say.She looks at me weirdly but doesn't say anything about it."Well here's a map.Look around" she says,giving me a map from under the counter.

I look at the map on the counter and I look at the regions.So I'm here in Snezhnaya.Here it's..Fontaine,Sumeru,Natlan..They aren't that far from here.I have to make sure Dottore won't find me.

I keep looking around and I see the perfect area."Here.How can I get here?" I ask,pointing on the map at the region 'Liyue'. "Oh you wanna go in Liyue? It's far from here but it's not that hard.Also,you're lucky" she says.

"Why?" I ask confused."Well since it's almost midnight,if you go at the docks in 10 minutes you'll see a man who takes people with him using his boat.The boat only goes to Sumeru though,from Sumeru you have to find another way in Liyue" she says.

"I understand.I should get going then.Thank you so much" I say.She smiles."No problem! Good luck wherever you're going" she says.I wave and walk out of the tavern.I have to go at the docks.Fast.

I don't feel safe here in Snezhnaya knowing Dottore could be here in any second.Liyue is very far so then I'll be sure he won't be able to find me and I can start my life all over again after he stole it from me.

I quickly go at the docks after asking someone on the street.Please be here don't tell me he already left.I could find a place to stay the night but I can't risk it.

I finally get at the docks and I thankfully see the man she told me about.It's a pretty big boat enough for like 20 people to get in but for some reason there is only the man that owns the boat.

I go at him."Hello sir.I would like to travel with you in Sumeru" I say.He looks at me and smiles."You're lucky,I was just about to go.Hop in" he says.I sit down in the boat,placing my suitcase along with me.After some minutes,we start moving.

"So..if you don't mind me asking why are you going to Sumeru?" He asks."Actually I want to go in Liyue but I heard you're only going in Sumeru so I'll find another way to go in Liyue" I say.He nods.

"Have you ever been out of Snezhnaya?" He asks."No.I never left Snezhnaya till now but I wanted to go see the other regions" I lied.That's definitely not my reason.

"And if you never been out,do you know the way to Liyue from Sumeru? It could be dangerous you know" he says."I know but I don't really have a choice" I say.He thinks for a second.

"I could take you to Liyue Harbor" he says."But aren't you going in Sumeru?" I ask."Yes but since you don't know the way,I can take you there" he says."Thank you" I say and he smiles.

I feel less stressed now that I'm leaving Snezhnaya.Away from this place.Away from Dottore.

I can't wait to get there.To start a new life and try to forget about everything that happened.About that horrible man.I'm free.
