As usual, you were wandering around Mondstadt, wanting to just travel across the sea to a new region. Paimon was going on and on about how she was hungry. Of course.

Still walking, you come across a camp. A familiar looking camp. Getting closer, you noticed it was a hilichurl camp. Readying your weapon, you inched closer but realized--the hillichurls were gone.

Weird, you looked around and soon saw a lone hilichurl, sitting near a tree and grumbling incoherent words (no surprise).
