"Tartaglia"
The tsaritsa called. Tartaglia ran as quick as he could and knelt down.
"Present, my queen."
She pointed her finger, giving him a command
"You will be sent to collect the Geo gnosis in Liyue. Befriend the archon, and grab the opportunity when you have it."
"Yes, my queen"
An order from the Tsaritsa has been set, meaning the Harbinger must complete their mission before they return to her.

After arriving in Liyue, the Harbinger was greeted by a few young kids who wanted to play with his weapons
"Mister, can I borrow you belt?"
"Guys look, he has a sword!"
"Is it real?"
Tartaglia chuckled and knelt down, hiding his sword. He remembered a toy he brought from Snezhnaya and was going to give it to his siblings before he was going to go, but never had the chance to.
He decided to give it to the kids and say it's a magic toy from a far away land. They were shocked and thanked Tartaglia before going away to play with it.

Just when the Harbinger was about to turn around, he heard a familiar voice.
"Ah, you're here"
Tartaglia turned around and saw and old man, sitting down and enjoying a cup of wine. He saw this as an opportunity to ask about the Geo archon. This man looked very knowledgeable. Tartaglia sat down next to him and kept stealing glances at the familiar figure.

"If you want to ask me something just say it, Harbinger"
Tartaglia gasped and rested his chin on his palm
"How did you know?"
"I can tell. I've encountered a Harbinger before, someone who looks just like you"

Tartaglia thought about it for a while. A memory suddenly remembered his mission.
"Sir, do you know the Geo archon?"
The man chuckled and put down his cup
"The Geo archon? He died in the archon war."
"What?"
"The Geo archon's dead, Harbinger. Do you want his corpse?"
The man teased around with Tartaglia, but he wasn't having it
"Sir, please be serious. Where is the Geo archon, either dead or alive?"
"In the golden house."

Tartaglia's eyes widened. He never knew he'd get the answer so easily. He thanked the man and quickly ran to the golden house, He easily entered thanks to the connections of the Qixing and Fatui.

When he entered the Golden house, it was all full of wealth and riches. Coins were piled everywhere, and nothing else
"Morax, where is he."
He whispered to himself, wandering around the area. He felt the door lock as he roamed. The grip on his weapons tightened as he turned around

"Who's there?"
"Relax, just me"
"Ah, you were the old man who I met earlier. Wait, how did you get in here?"

The man chuckled and walked closer to Tartaglia. The Harbinger, feeling threatened, backed away until he was sticking to the wall.
"Sir?"
"Ajax."
Tartaglia shivered as he called his name.

"How do you..."
The man pushed him onto a wall and held his chest.
"Do you remember meeting with a God when you were younger?"
His eyes widened when he said this.
"Wait." The Harbinger exclaimed. He pushed him away and examined the man closely. While he was looking at him, the man whispered.
"The sun is always watching you, just in a different disguise"

Tartaglia gasped and stared at him
"M-Morax?"
Morax opened his arms and smiled at him
"Glad to see you again, Ajax"
The Harbinger ran up to him, hugging him tightly.

"I'll always be watching, Ajax. The sun always provides you light, just under a different face. No matter how many faces I'll have, I'll be your light."
Tartaglia sighed and cried in his arms.

"Thank you, Morax."
