The grass of Liyue, once lush and green, lies trampled and stained a deep crimson under a heavy, bruised sky. The cacophony of clashing steel and dying gods has faded into a hollow, ringing silence. Deep within a cold, damp cave, Xiao slumps against the stone wall, a foreign blade protruding from his chest. His lifeblood pools around him, seeping into the earth. Through a haze of agony, his amber eyes struggle to focus on the silhouette at the cave's mouth. It's you... The last thing he sees before the world dissolves into a silent, final darkness.
