━━ THE LITTLE GIRL sat beside her master, while listening to the stories Cloud Retainer continued to tell.

"Master, could you tell me about the yakshas?" the little brunette asked, while clinging onto her bunny stuffy.

"Ah yes, there were six yakshas... They were higher than any adepti. Power and arrogance," she explained, with a quiver in her voice. The little girl looked at her master with curious eyes.

"If you don't mind, master, could you tell me about them?" the little girl, Yaoyao, asked. As she started to fidget.

The adeptus sighed, she couldn't say no to the little girl's puppy eyes. "One only knows that three of them died shortly after the Archon War, and another one disappeared. While the other two still protect and watch over Liyue to this day. Alatus and Heimal. Formally known as Xiao and Y/n."

The little girl was confused. She had known five of yakshas because of her other master's stories. Madame Ping described Alatus, Bosacius, Indarias, Bonanus, and Menogias. Yet she had never heard of this "Heimal." Had Madame Ping forgotten to Yaoyao about who she was? Or rather was she trying to keep it a secret from Yaoyao and Cloud Retainer was not aware of that.

"Who is Heimal? Or Y/n in this case..." Yaoyao asked, filled with questions. Not just to herself, but rather to Madame Ping, the Liyue History books, and to Liyue itself.

Cloud Retainer looked sorrowful, as she looked into the sky. While sighing, she started to explain.

"She... was the Exorcist Yaksha. The most powerful of all the Yakshas. She had the power equivalent to that of gods. Her Cryo Vision could be compared against the Cryo Archon herself," Cloud Retainer said, while looking amidst nowhere.

Yaoyao was left shocked. Surely her master couldn't have forgotten to tell her. There was no way the history books could erase this famous and impactful person. She was so powerful, it was almost stupid for the people of Liyue to not remember her, or rather try not to remember her. Yaoyao shook off those disrespectful thoughts, as she took a deep breath in.

"What did she do as a Yaksha?" Yaoyao asked, adjusting her composure.

"She was... Morax's guardian. She guarded Morax during the Archon War. While the other Yaksha's fended off demons, Y/n was Morax's first disciple. She made sure no enemy would go into Morax's 1000 km radius, for she would end them." Cloud Retainer said, "And that was when she was feeling nice."

"Wow! That's amazing! I really want to meet her!" Yaoyao said, her excitement and curiosity getting the better of her. She started to jump up and down in excitement.

"That's the problem. She is a yaksha Yaoyao. She could go crazy any moment she wants. Her fending Liyue was three thousand years ago, it's only about time she accidentally loses control. You mustn't go near her, for she is dangerous. One orders you," Cloud Retainer said.

"What..."

"Yakshas can do stuff without thinking. You never know,"

"But.."

"Yaoyao, I'm only saying this for your own good."

Cloud Retainer then spread her wings and took flight. As she left Liyue Harbour and left Yaoyao alone. Sitting while watching the dark night.

"I'm going to get to the bottom of this... First things first, finding Ms. Y/n,"
