(Y/N) was an Adeptus. Now that there was peace, she spent her time tending to requests sent from the people of Liyue. Her life was simple now: no more wars, no more fighting, no losses.
And things could almost be considered boring, until one day she...

It's dark. There's a huge, grey cloud that has formed over the city of Inazuma. She can see it from the path she was on, her jogging slowing down to a cautious walk. What was going on? Hoping that the Traveler and Paimon were okay, she steadied herself and started to jog again. The wind was becoming harsh, pushing against her face, as if telling her to turn away. Her hair continuously fell over her eyes, obscuring her vision, like the cloud looming over the city.
There isn't anyone around. She's confused. Where could everyone be? She stopped at the gate, noticing how doors were closed and there were no guards around. Catching her breath, she carefully made her way up the stairs and through the streets.
Near the end of the path, she found a group of people standing together. There were a few guards there, holding spears in their hands. Squinting, she noticed that one had dog ears, and a fluffy tail poking out from behind. It was held low, not wagging, his expression firm, eyebrows furrowed. He had peculiar cyan eyes and white-brown hair. Next to him was a man of the same height, with red eyes and white hair, a streak of it being the same colour.
Could they know where the Traveler was?
She approached them, about to call out when the guards spotted her and raised their spears, pointing it in her direction. "Halt! Who goes there?"
The two men turned to face her. She held her hands up in a placating gesture, signalling her peaceful intentions. The man with the dog ears told them to lower their weapons, to which they listened to immediately.
"I was wondering what was happening," she responded. "And if you knew who the Traveler and Paimon are."
They both perked up at the names. "We do," the man with the red streak in his hair spoke. His voice was calm, soft, like he was talking to a flower. It had a soothing effect. "How do you know them?"
She explained her story, how she was from Liyue and had something important to discuss with the Traveler. The men introduced themselves as Kazuha and Gorou. Kazuha was with the Traveler and Paimon when they made their way to Inazuma, which was interesting because she had never seen him in Liyue before. He explained that he was a traveler who used to wander about and now mainly stayed with Beidou on her boat. The other man briefly told her that he was a General and met the Traveler when she came to Watatsumi Island.
After their instructions, they allowed her to join them as they elucidated the situation - Kujou Sara, a woman who serves the Raiden Shogun, went to confront her father with the Traveler. They were unsure why they were talking so long, however, and concluded to one assumption: there was an obstacle.
Perhaps the Traveler was in a battle with the Electro Archon, perhaps there was a gnosis exchange, perhaps there was a Fatui Harbinger. There were limited possibilities, all of them as equally as dangerous.
