"AHHHHHHHHHHH"
You screamed as you hurdled towards the earth, a golden fire surrounding you as you breached the world's atmosphere. The people of Mondstadt all looked at the falling star, alerted by your screams.

Thankfully you had passed out before you landed, so you weren't able to feel the pain of landing on the dirt from the heavens above. Though there was a pretty sizable crater where you landed.

GODDAMN THAT HURT

The fall didn't hurt as much as it should've, but it still stung. You peeked out of your crater and were pleasantly surprised to see what seemed to be a winery.

Your stomach rumbled, and you walked towards the hanging fruits.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I had a few grapes, right?

You grabbed a bundle of the purple grapes and quickly scarfed them down, careful not to let any drop onto the grass below. Something about these grapes were extra delicious, and you made a mental note to come back here if you ever craved something sweet.

"What do you think you're doing?"

A voice from behind you startled you into almost choking on the grape in your mouth, and you turned around to see a man who seemed very cross with you. He had long red hair and wore a black coat with gloves, both of which seemed to cost a pretty penny.

Oh my god it's the owner

It seems like you had no choice but to do the responsible thing and face the consequences of your actions...

Or not.

You spat a grape at his face.

"Did you just-"

Then you threw a whole bundle of grapes at him before high tailing it out of there, not looking back to see the confused expression on his face. All he was going to do was offer you some real food, why did you run away?

There's no way I'm going to jail after I just DIED
You thought to yourself.

They were just a few grapes! They'd grow back!

In any case, that was in the past now, and you weren't quite sure how long you'd been running before you realized you weren't being chased.

When you finally stopped, you found yourself in front of a statue, a large tree standing tall and proud behind it. The statue portrayed a winged figure holding out a sphere, and as you focused on it, a calming breeze flowed through your hair. (If you're bald it blew on your head).

Something about it all, the winery, the red haired man, and now this statue; all of it seemed so familiar, but you couldn't quite figure out why.

You took a step closer to the statue, and rested your hand on it's base, enjoying the cool feel of the stone it was made from.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew towards you, and you looked up to see the orb in the statue's hands glow before a teal sphere emerged from it, heading towards you.

Too shocked to react, you stood still, letting the orb get close to you until it seemingly vanished when coming into contact with your chest.

"Interesting, there's only been one other person who's had that happen to you,"

Again, you were startled by a strangers voice, and you looked around frantically to find where it came from.

"Up here!"

A short man sat on a sturdy tree branch above you swaying his legs happily before jumping down. His fast descent scared you half to death until his fall slowed down as he got closer to the ground, almost as if he was levitating.

With a mischievous smile he walked up to you, staring at you with his aqua green eyes.

"You're not from this world, are you?"
