    The Crux Fleet had long been a symbol of strength and independence on the seas, and Beidou, the fearless captain, was revered by her crew and feared by her enemies. One day, while journeying through the waters of Liyue, the fleet encounters a massive storm—one unlike any other. The winds howl, lightning cracks the sky, and waves tower over the ships as the storm grows fiercer by the minute. Despite her immense power and years of experience, Beidou cannot control the violent forces of nature surrounding her.

    Amid the chaos, the Female Traveler, who has joined the Crux Fleet for a brief respite from her own journey, stands at Beidou’s side. The Traveler, ever the one to help those in need, recognizes something unnatural about the storm, sensing an ancient power beneath the sea’s surface.

    As the storm intensifies, the Traveler's Elemental power reacts to the unknown force—revealing an eerie underwater figure rising from the depths. The figure is a cursed sea spirit, a being long-forgotten and bound by an ancient spell that has now caused the storm to spiral out of control.

    The spirit pleads for help, offering untold power in exchange for its release. It explains that the storm is a manifestation of its fury from centuries of imprisonment, and only by breaking its curse can peace be restored to the seas. Yet, the spirit warns that whoever releases it will face the consequences of its bound energy.

    Beidou, unwilling to risk the safety of her crew, hesitates. She’s always been a leader who takes responsibility for others, and the idea of wielding such immense power to calm the storm comes with a heavy price. But the Traveler, with her unyielding sense of justice and the bond she shares with Beidou, steps forward. She suggests a daring plan to not only break the curse but to also ensure that the spirit’s power won’t overwhelm them both.

    Together, the Traveler and Beidou venture into the heart of the storm, fighing all the sea monster together..as a team
