"This is our fate, brother..."
Lucius's journey in Teyvat continues after solving the Fontaine crisis. With only two more nations left to visit, the secrets of the world continue to reveal itself, leaving a lasting impression on him. Along with that...
Around two days have passed since Lantern Rite ended as everyone settled in to the new year.
For Lucius, he returns back to his teapot having received a mysterious book that landed on his head from out of nowhere.
Lucius: Ugh... my head still hurts from that.
He says as he sits down on his bed and looks at the cover of the book.
Lucius: Colourful cover, did I just get given a children's book or something? I don't even have a kid. Or do they see me as a kid?
He questions to himself as he opens the book, only to be met with blackness that covers his vision.
Lucius: What the fu-?!

After what felt a like a nice nap, Lucius wakes up thanks to the familiar feeling of grass on his back.
Lucius: ("Huh? Grass? When did I...")
He quickly opens his eyes and is met with blue skies and unfamiliar surroundings.

Lucius: What the heck?!
He shouts as he stands up and looks around in a panicked manner.
Lucius: Hello? Paimon? Did you get stuck here with me?
He asks in which he gets no response.
Lucius: Damn it, even Paimon isn't dragged into this place, which is probably a relief, for her own safety. But as for me...
Despite the unfamiliarity of the place, it looks rather peaceful.
Lucius: I better take a look around, see if I can find out more about this new area.

Continuing down a path, Lucius would spot two paper frogs, one in grey and the other in orange.
Lucius: ("Origami frogs? Surely this is just a dream, right?")
???: Oh! By the shade of a lotus leaf, Stream, don't tell me you forgot how to jump!
The orange paper frog screams to the grey frog.
Stream: I... I didn't forget, Firecracker. I'm just... not sure if what I remember is correct.
Firecracker: Hah, next thing you know you'll have forgotten how to sing, much less notate a score. You still remember why we call you Stream, don't you?
