You and Xiao are two of the last Yaksha’s in Liyue, two powerful adepti’s.

People were bounding around happily in Liyue, at the lantern rite, lanterns everywhere, beautiful dancing and singing, and of course corruption, at the border of life and death. Ningguang put teams together to go to each border to secure it, you and Hu tao going to the border of death itself.

Mid mission, Hu Tao was about to sacrifice herself for the final seal of the border. This, you could not have. A bright young girl with such power sacrificing herself when you and lived for hundreds of years with no end in sight? You wouldn’t allow it. So at the last second you switched your place with hers, smiling at her one last time and muttering the words to unleashe your full power, finally sealing off the border for the final time, a shockwave going throughout Liyue, and possibly all of Teyvet, a bright light almost blinding Hu Tao.

Back in Liyue all the teams had gathered back from the now secure borders, Ningguang and Zhongli, whome only the traveler and the adepti know his true identity as the geo archon, and the teams, Ganyu and Shenhe, Xiao, Beidou, Keqing Xingqui and Chongyun, Aether and Paimon all gathered angsty waiting for the last team, you and Hu Tao to return.

Shenhe let out a whoop as she saw hu tao approach, but the others noticed quickly, Hu Tao seemed distressed, and crying, holding, or more dragging someone along. You. The blue yaksha blood leaking from your wounds, the black and blue glowing withering of the fetor and you karma on your body, slipping from the Grasp of consciousness.

Xiao immediately teleports forward catching you and helping Hu Tao approach, everyone rushing forward.

Beidou immediately runs of to fetch Qiqi and Baizhu, while the rest watch, Zhongli preparing for another of his adepti, one whome was like a son to him to pass on like the others.

“What happened? I thought everything was supposed to go smoothly?” Ningguang says worriedly.

Aether too runs forward along with Paimon, awaiting Hu Tao’s answer.
