"Oh Viatrix, how brilliant and radiant you shine, a holy light in the dark so sublime. But what can I do, when the shadows want to consume you, oh goddess so divine?" With the arrival of summer, newly weds, Xiao and Lumine finally take the journey to seek out the Dendro Archon. But in this land that once was the cradle to his tribe, once nurtured by the God of Woods, trouble is stirring. Sumeru, the Nation of Knowledge screams for folly but amongst its pages is something sinister and maybe darker truths. With the Fatui and now Celestia becoming a threat, Xiao has suddenly grown increasingly protective and worried as something seems to be wrong with Lumine after the events of the Chasm and the Abyss Order. What they discover may very well change both their lives for better or for worse. As only more dangers bare their fangs with once again both from the unknown and as the Fatui slither into Sumeru. But can Xiao protect her in this land of jungle and sand? .............................. -WARNING- Contains mature subject matter and topics such as violence, injury, bloodshed, dark themes, mature romance themes, ect. ...............................
