True Archons-discontinued

Xiao-pt 5

Swing after swing,until xiao got a good opportunity to knock her off the railing,plunging to the ground to follow her

Arlecchino:
Oh please your tactic is to just widdle me down?

Xiao:
I simply wanted you in a spot where you can do no more harm to my friends

Arlecchino:
...hm this is why you're all so simple minded

Quickly throwing a spear at arlecchino's head,obviously missing and damaging the rocks behind them.she took this opportunity to slash from behind,though the first hit was nothing more of a decoy as a second spear hit her in the shoulder and set arlecchino tumbling back.xiao had no time to waste planning his next move.he phased behind her and swiftly kicked her in the back,this was met by a huge swing coming from the ground beneath him

Arlecchino:
For being such a strong being you sure are predictable~

She did have a point,no matter how many hits xiao landed it often needed only one good hit to get him off his feet.so if he couldn't out speed his opponent it was time for the back up plan,distraction.forming a circle around his movements making arlecchino unsure which angle he would strike.it was only when she heard the sound of the rocks that were previously hit did she realize what he was trying to do.any kind of counter was too late as he plunged into the ground,the once calm demeanor on her face now changing as her outfit was scraped and bruises on her skin could be seen.one problem still remained though

Xiao:
Do you give up now?

Arlecchino:
Ha...hahah...hahahahha!

Xiao:
Ngh!

Arlecchino:
Everyone is really so naive!

Her sudden movement threw the adepti to the ground,one problem he couldn't ignore

Arlecchino:
I already killed an archon! And I'm not afraid of doing it again!

Emotional manipulation

Paimon:
Zhongli,you wanted to tell us something?

Zhongli:
We feel like now is the right time to tell you

Childe:
Good to see you again traveler!

Ttaveler:
"What's childe doing here?"

Zhongli:
He's here for..buisness,but anyway would you like to do the honors?

Venti:
!~

Paimon:
Huh!? Is that...venti?

Traveler:
"How is that possible?"

Childe:
From what im getting at his physical form was made of pure anemo energy...

Zhongli:
Though he likely can't ever make one again venti is still one of the thousand winds

Paimon:
Paimon sort of understands this..

Childe:
Eh don't worry,it took me a while to even process this

Traveler:
"What about xiao?"

Zhongli:
Unfortunately I haven't seen him since last night

Paimon:
I hope he's alright...the other archons are coming soon

Traveler:
"Reminder that the fatui harbinger is standing right here?"

Childe:
Aha..don't worry like Zhongli said I only came here for business!

After discussing what to do next you see ningguang looking worried on a street nearby

Paimon:
Ningguang!

Ningguang:
Oh thank god I found you all!

Zhongli:
Hm,what's wrong? you seem worried

Ningguang:
I don't know how to say this,but wansghu inn was ransacked last night

Paimon:
Huh!?

Traveler:
"Eh!?"

Zhongli:
...what?

Childe:
..eh?
