After a long and treacherous journey throughout the waters of Inazuma, you and Tartaglia finally make it to Ritou's docks. You didn't so much on the ship, so you decided to just read your book that you had brought along with you.

You and Tartaglia bypassed customs because Tartaglia used his title as a Fatui Harbinger to get through quickly. You both exit Ritou and make your way to Inazuma city. The city was decorated ready for a festival. There were lanterns hanging across the buildings, banners of an ancient dragon like serpent God hanging around the city. You walk up to one of the banners to look at it. It was extremely detailed. You grab the banner, and rub your fingers between the fabric. It felt silky. You put your hand down and turn back to Tartaglia.

"Seems like they are holding a festival here in Inazuma." Tartaglia observed.

"It might be about this dragon looking thing here." You comment as you point to the banner.

"Maybe..." Tartaglia mumbles. "Anyway we should get going to the hotel we are staying at."

"Yeah, let's go." You hesitated.

You and Tartaglia begin to walk around trying to find the hotel that you'll be staying at for the next couple of days. After wandering aimlessly for ten minutes or so, you both managed to find the hotel. Tartaglia checks you both in and you head to your room. It had two beds on opposite ends of the room, a bathroom near the exit and a table infront of the biggest window in the whole room. You look back at Tartaglia but he has already chosen his bed. It was the one of the far right side near an empty wall. You sigh and walk over to the bed where a window has light peaking through covering the blankets and the hard wood floor in light. You sit on the bed and let out a sigh.

"Something wrong?" Tartaglia asks. You shake your head.

"No everything's fine." You sigh once more. You swing your feet up onto the bed and lay down. Resting your head on the pillow. You look over to Tartaglia. He had a pocket watch out to check the time. "Excuse me, Mr- I mean Tartaglia? What's the time?" You ask. Tartaglia looks up at you and looks back at the watch again.

"Time to go to sleep. You need to rest." Tartaglia yawns.

"Mhm." You mumble. You shut your eyes and slowly drift to sleep.

You open your eyes. You were surrounded by darkness. "Is this another dream?" You thought. It must've been a dream because you couldn't see or hear anything. You wander around in the darkness for a bit until you begin to see a visible white mist, hanging around you. There was a trail leading somewhere. You decided to follow it.

As you follow the trail of white mist you see a white light ahead. You run towards the light the mist becomes thicker. The colour changes slowly changes to purple the closer you get towards the light. You make it to the white light you saw before. It looked like an opened door separating light and darkness. You put one foot into the light but a gust of thick purple mist hit you like a wave. The mist got into your eyes and lungs. You began coughing. You tried to wipe your eyes as they burned a little. You look back into the lighted area to see that a figure was standing in the distance, but not to far away. It was a boy, with a large hat. He was facing opposite way from you so you couldn't see his face. You then attempted to walk into the light but again another gust of the purple mist pushed you back causing you to fall to the ground. The boy turned around and walks towards you, staying in the lighted area.
