AUTHORS NOTE
This story is set before Zhongli retires as archon of Liyue, and Childe is just in Liyue for lantern rite, not to steal Zhongli's gnosis. Childe has no idea that Zhongli is Rex Lapis, and sees Zhongli as just a friend.
Any art I use will not be mine, and I give FULL credit to the artists. I found most of the pictures I will be using on Google, and unfortunately cannot Include artist names.
There's a legend that a ghost appears once every year, during the lantern rite. She wanders aimlessly through Liyue with no apparent goal other than helping those in need and.. Picking flowers? Her existence was merely a legend, however, everything changed when Rex lapis died.
Instead of disappearing like every other year, the ghost stayed.
You stayed.
What happened to you, and why don't you remember anything? And who is the man that appeared seemingly out of nowhere that gazes at you with such loving eyes?
