It was a stormy night, you were on your way back to Mondstadt to meet up with your friends, Kaeya and Diluc.

You were a few miles away when you saw a huddled up form leaning against a tree. You immediately recognized the amber eyes of your friend, Zhongli.

He didn’t look good either, he was wounded and he looked incredibly pale. You immediately ran to him and knelt down beside him.

He looked up and smiled weakly.

“Hello, Traveler…it seems you’ve caught me at a bad time.”
