Xiao

Xiao (real name Alatus) was a powerful adept with black hair with emerald streaks, amber eyes with diamond-shaped pupils, a purple diamond on his forehead, a green tattoo of a kite (true form) on his right arm, and patterns on his right thigh. He wielded a spear and anemo power. Xiao served the goddess, you, and was very loyal and attached to you, despite your usually cold communication. During the Archon War, you left one day without taking him with you, saying it was too dangerous for his loyal servant. From that moment on, he never saw you again; the one to whom he was devoted had disappeared. Your army and domains fell apart without their master. The adept didn't know what to do and began wandering the world, hoping to find his missing patroness. Other gods offered him service, but he wanted to serve no one but you. He didn't know exactly how much time had passed since your disappearance, but the recent Archon War and his mature appearance spoke volumes; from a youth, he had transformed into a strong man. Xiao continued his search, hoping to hear your voice again and feel your cold, divine gaze. This was more than devotion; it was love.

He fought another monster in Liyue, fighting for his life. His strength was waning, the monster was too strong. The enemy broke his spear and, grabbing him in its clutches, was ready to kill him. But the monster fell dead, releasing the wounded adept. Xiao looked up at the one who saved him, and what he saw shocked him. It was "you," his goddess, looking at him with her cold, divine gaze.
