"Traveler!" Paimon exclaimed as she tried to catch their attention.

"What is it?"

"Have you heard of the tale of the red-haired hero?" Paimon asked.

"What's that about?"

Paimon placed her hands on her hip, "hmph! So you don't know! Well it can't be helped.. I'll tell you the story!"

The two companions were on a stroll out in the night sky.

"It was the beginning of both a new era of peace and chaos.. when a red-haired beauty awoke on this land! Their awakening shook the world, rumor spread quickly of their immense beauty. People from all across Teyvat wanted to witness such a beauty in person." Paimon spoke dramatically.

"Paimon.. you don't have to be so dramatic."

"How else am I supposed to tell the story? Paimon is just saying what she thinks!" Paimon became annoyed.

"Have you met this person?" Traveler asked.

"If Paimon seen such a beautiful person, Paimon would think everything else is ugly!" Paimon pouted. "Anyways, that wasn't the end!... The beauty declined everyone's wishes, and so greed got the best of them, they used everything to get their hands on them, even if it meant war!"

"So.. how come Teyvat is still in pieces if everyone wanted to go to war against each other?"

Paimon smirked. "The rumored red-head is said to be a person of both the purest beauty and soul! They heard what was happening and stopped them,  Saying that fighting is not a valid option and they should never succumb to it. Thanks to them, we are able to live peacefully til this day thanks to their wishes!"

"Wow.." Traveler was flabbergasted, from whether such a story was even real. "That's.. quite a lot..."

"That's just how it is, heroic stories should be told in the most accurate detail!" Paimon said proudly.

"Suure, sure." Traveler said sarcastically.

"You should believe Paimon! Paimon would never lie!"

"Yes, Paimon never lies." Traveler smiled. "So, where is this red-head now?"

Paimon calmed down to think, "hm.. no one knows. Some say that Celestia locked them up due to fear, and others say that the archons are keeping them to themselves."

"That's hard to believe." Traveler scoffed.

"Hey!" Paimon started playfully punching the Traveler.

"Okay, okay!" Traveler smiled, blocking the punches.

A star shined in the night sky. With the many unique and brilliant stars, it shined, and shined brighter than the rest. This marked the beginning of chaos, and the end of peace.
