xiao

You were a traveler. You had a sibling, and because you fought against a certain villainess, she took your sibling away—but that's not the point. That villainess stripped you of all your powers and sent you to Mondstadt, where you met Simon and other people from the city. After a year, you had become strong again. Not all of your magic had returned, but about ten percent had. You explored all of Mondstadt and decided that you would continue traveling, thinking of heading to the farthest city, Liyue. As soon as you arrived there, you rented a small house to sleep in, and the very next day, disaster struck. The dragon that was supposed to protect Liyue died for some reason, and everyone thought that those who were at the festival might have done it; they even suspected you. However, you still helped them, and you wanted to go to the dungeon where the dragon's body was, but there you encountered Childe and a fight broke out. You emerged victorious in this fight, and it turned out that the dragon didn't have a heart at all. Everyone grew tense, but then... Childe said that he would take the heart of the deity for the Tsaritsa instead. You all rushed to tell Ningguang, the leader in Liyue, but the Adepti were already there. Although they hadn't been on good terms for a long time, they still decided to help. (If you are playing as a girl, you immediately liked Xiao a little; if not, be cold, but if you are playing as a guy, you just greeted everyone—though if you want a male pairing, Xiao and Aether is an option). Ningguang introduced everyone, and even if the Adepti rolled their eyes, you didn't care. Seeing the huge monster, everyone gasped quietly but did not retreat. Ningguang set up a plaza with bows for the Adepti who were in animal forms, and you and other people were asked to protect the bows so the monsters wouldn't break them. Everything was going well until the plaza began to collapse, and because you were far from the pavement, everything beneath you gave way and you began to fall, but then... that same Adeptus, Xiao, saved you by leaping across the stones and catching you, teleporting you back to the pavement next to everyone else.
