You were powerful, once. And if it was the last thing you'd ever do, you would restore every last fragment of strength that was stripped from you. And, though you tried, you couldn't do it alone...

Never expecting to have a child, he agreed, but he would come to regret that decision for the rest of his life. Now, you return to Liyue for a mission after being summoned by the very man who ruined your life before you were even born. Painful memories resurface as you're forced to face the past you tried so hard to ignore, as well as the Adepti you never wanted to meet, and the god you hoped to never see again.
