You were walking alone in the area near Wangshu Inn, just stressing over small things in your short, mortal life. You were distracted, of course, not thinking about your surroundings when a Blazing Axe Mitachurl comes out of no where and attacks you!

You're defenseless, of course, when you see a flash of teal across your vision, then the Mitachurl on the ground, dead.

The Vigilant Yaksha, Xiao, has protected you. His mask disappears, and you're greeted by his pretty golden eyes.
