     During modern times, your name no longer lingers on the lips of a story teller or folk tellers, you are deemed simply gone from this world. This doesn't matter you to much honestly as it help your end of your contract with Morax. Meaning that: less mortal begging for your help more time for you to keep Liyue harbor a safer place.  

     Seeing the sun is still up you got a couple hours before you need to get moving, you found a spot near Yunjin Terrace and sat down near the hill side witness on of Morax's descension onto the moral realm to provide them guidance for the year. Something is off, there is weird concentrated geo element in the sky as the geo mark on your body is glowing, reacting to the suspicions you have. It's normal as Morax is 'descending' but that just feels off. Narrowing your brows, you sighed in frustration. If it come to it, you'll slaughter everyone in the Harbor. You're sure that cloud retainer would do the same. 

     Narrowing your eyes, you spotted a two traveling buddies who seem to stand out from everyone else. They both waited at the side for the Rite of Descension, they are out of your list of suspicions for now. As you jinxed it, the Liyue Qixing proceed with the Rite and Morax's dragon form fell from the sky causing you to jump up and teleport next to the two traveling buddies. 

     'Paimon can't believe it! Morax is dead! Traveler what do we do!!' The flying pixie said, grabbing onto the other for dear life. You placed your mask on and spoke, 'Traveler, this way.' You grabbed their arm and pulled them swiftly towards the way out of Yunjin Terrace. 

     'Who are you! AhhH! Paimon is losing grip!' The pixie continued to complain, caused you to misstepped onto a tile. 

     '...I didn't know that a pixie is this annoying..' You muttered to yourself, as you hear the Millelith calling after you three. Sighing, you held a hand out in front of the traveler, and stated, 'I know your innocent that's why I dragged you out. Now leave the Millelith to me and stay back.' with no response from the traveler you step another step in front of the two. Not the talkative type, huh.. you thought as you summoned two ice dagger ready to launch at the Millelith until you hear a voice. 

     'Hey Girlie, hold still~' A tall man with ginger hair appeared, knocking the Millelith out within seconds. 'Follow me,' he said urging the three of you to come with him. Running for a while both the traveler and you managed caught up to where Childe was waiting for the both of you. You looked at him, wondering where have you seen him before. As you were deep in your thoughts recalling memories from your past life, the traveler, the pixie and the boy are now discussing things. 

     Ginger hair... Red mask... Tall.. hydro.. It doesn't seem to want to click. Thinking deeper, you looked at the boy's vision and it's shape. Then it clicked, that man is Childe, other known as Ajax or Tartaglia. 'Fatui...hmm.. 11th.' you muttered under your breath that didn't go unnoticed by the other three.  

     'Oh girlie can talk! I thought she was going to stay silent the whole time. Anyways, we should move to somewhere more safer for us to continue out conversation. As the old Liyue saying goes: the wall have ears.' 

     After a gruesome walking up the stairs with the pixie asking you a ton of questions. All of you finally reached outside of the Northland Bank. Childe show the traveler a little something where you have to wonder where he got that from. 'This is sigil of permission, to make sure that the almighty adeptus doesn't harm you. Your best shot right now is search for their help to prove your innocence.' Childe said as he handed traveler the sigil, he then continued, 'then girlie over here...' 

     'I can prove my own innocence thank you very much fatui boy.' You said as you starred daggers at him, recalling the memories of barely beating him when you needed to farm for his materials in game in your past life. Childe sweat dropped as he urged the traveler and his companion to hurry along.
