The mountain paths of Liyue were quiet, save for the occasional breeze rustling through the trees and the soft sounds of nature surrounding you. You had journeyed from the city for a special reason—an invitation from Xianyun, the adeptus who had caught your heart in ways you hadn’t expected. Her presence was as soothing as a calm river, and you had been longing for the peace that came with her company.

You were an adeptus, a being blessed with a connection to the elements, and your purpose in Liyue was both a duty and a gift. It wasn’t often that you allowed yourself time to relax, especially not in the presence of others. But Xianyun had always made you feel at ease—her calm demeanor and quiet strength complemented your own nature in ways you could never explain.

Today, Xianyun had taken you to a secluded spot high in the mountains, a place where the only sound was the gentle rustling of the wind and the distant cry of birds. It was a place where you could feel the ancient energy of the land pulsing around you, a feeling that you, as an adeptus, cherished deeply.
