It's cold.

I'm used to the cold. I never had a problem with the breeze before.

But this...

This is a different cold...It's not going to go away. I feel so light but I can't move. I'm not going anywhere, I've failed and I've trapped myself.

...

...

I'm sorry.

I won't be seeing those fireworks together with you Ei...

Liyue Harbor....

Crowds poured over to the docks. People dropped their activities and acts of celebration to take witness to the horror that has been risen again.

Light yelling and pointing fingers were the sirens of panic but not in the usual manner as people would respond to such an incident.

The bright figure of Osial was a distance away from the city, only this time it's appearance was different from the last many times. On each of it's many heads was a purple crystal tip that would shine with each roar the monster let out.

"No no no...what the hell is this?! Where are those idiots!?" Yan'er yelled as she saw their plan crumble before them.

Osial shot at the small shores and destroyed the ballistas the treasure horders manned.

"Damn it..!" The woman snapped a torch and lit it on fire as a red flame shone with thick smoke. She waved it in the air.

Soon the Crux fleet came roaring by as the canons fend off the monster's attacks and assisted the horders to board the shop again. Beidou yanked Yan'er, who got on last, on deck and yelled.

"What happened?! This thing wasn't supposed to surface this much!"

"I don't know! Maybe they-"

Osial's sudden shriek of anguish caught the attention of the fleet as they watched various flashes hitting each head of the beast.

Childe, armored by his foul legacy swung and frisbee'd his blades at the God with unrelenting determination, to the people it seemed like he was doing significant damage, but it was mere scratches in the face of a God.

"Why did we even think this would work...- GAAHH!!"

The monster fired a ball of energy precisely when it saw an opening. Directly hitting Childe, the beam launched the man away in a flash. A strike so strong it began breaking his armor away as he flew.

He went so far as to reach land and in his barely stable consciousness, expected to hit a mountain with this velocity. But he was stopped.

The man felt the wind. A strong but gentle breeze that acted as a cushiony wall that slowed and halted his speed. Soon he was swept from the sky and brought to a safe landing.

"It would be best for you two to conceal yourself, Ei and I shall take this from here.." a deep voice mumbled.

Childe struggled to look up as he laid on the grassy ground. He saw two tall figures looking down at the man, a radiant and somewhat illuminated aura about them.
