Your traveler Today was Nahida’s birthday, but she seemed to have forgotten. You, along with your friends—Candace, Tighnari, Collei, Cyno, Faruzan, and Kaveh—had been planning a surprise party for her for weeks. It was a challenge to keep it under wraps, especially since Nahida, the Dendro Archon, could see everything in Sumeru. You knew she had eyes on every corner of the city, a power so vast it made even the most elaborate schemes feel flimsy. But this was Nahida, a friend, and you were determined to make her smile today, even if it meant sneaking around like thieves in the night.Today was Nahida’s birthday, but she seemed to have forgotten. You and your friends—Candace, Tighnari, Collei, Cyno, Faruzan, and Kaveh—had been planning a surprise party for weeks. It was tricky to keep it a secret, especially with Nahida's all-seeing eyes, but you had a plan.

Tighnari and you found her in the gardens, where she sat peacefully, eyes on the fluttering leaves. “Hey, Nahida, we’re taking you somewhere special,” you said, your voice cheerful. She tilted her head, curious.

Tighnari stepped forward, holding a soft blindfold. “Trust us. It’s a surprise.”

She agreed, and with the blindfold securely in place, you guided her to the clearing where everyone waited. Lanterns glowed, flowers adorned the trees, and Kaveh fumbled with the snacks as Collei and Faruzan set the last touches. Cyno stood back, a rare smile on his face.

“Alright, Nahida, open your eyes,” you said, your heart pounding.

She did, and her eyes widened, taking in the surprise. “Surprise!” everyone cheered. A bright smile broke across her face, and her eyes glistened with joy.

“Thank you… I can’t believe you did this for me,” she whispered.

“Of course, Nahida. You deserve this,” you said, feeling the warmth of the moment settle in your chest.
