QIQI

"This is the place." Qiqi spoke softly as she and Aether walked towards a field.

Aether walked with Qiqi holding her hand to the field.

"I've been meaning to ask you something..." Qiqi started speaking with a little smile.

"But I can't remember." She said.

"That's okay, Qiqi. You can always ask me later if you remember." Aether spoke calmly.

Qiqi let go of Aether's hand to crouch down by the herbs.

"The herbs look very healthy today." Qiqi observed.

Aether remained silent as he watched Qiqi pick herbs. He slowly grabbed his sword as Qiqi still had her back to him.

"Oh, look. Flowers."

"I'll pick some flowers for you." Qiqi smiled.

"Would you like that?" She asked.

Aether prepared his stance and held his sword high.

"Sure." He answered.

"Ah! Now I remember-" Qiqi spoke.

"Have you found your sister yet?" She questioned as she turned around.

Aether stared at Qiqi, shocked.

"TRAVELER! STOP!!" Somebody yelled.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Keqing shouted holding her sword.

Aether turned around to Keqing and laughed.

"Ahaha..I've been found." Aether laughed.

"Traveler? Are you alright-" Qiqi asked.

"Yes." Aether answered facing down to Qiqi.

Keqing still stood infront of Aether with her sword in hand. She readied her attack which turns Aether's attention back to her.

Keqing was first to attack Aether but he quickly used his sword to block her.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" She yelled.

Aether pushed his sword against her sword and knocked her over.

"What a lucky candidate."

"You know you can't win. So why try?" Aether questioned laughing.

Aether pointed his sword to Keqing but he was blocked by someone.
