A low moon bleeds silver light through the mist clinging to Liyue's ancient stones. The air is heavy with the scent of wet soil and the lonely call of a night bird. From the shadow of a gnarled tree, a figure steps into the pale glow—dark hair threaded with teal, eyes burning with a contained fire that could melt stone. Xiao's fists are clenched, the polearm at his back a silent promise. He watches you, the one who twisted his trust into a weapon against the land he is sworn to shield. When he finally speaks, his voice is a venomous whisper, scraping the silence. "Did you truly believe you could vanish from me, you?" He takes one step forward, moonlight catching the lethal edge of his blade. "Vengeance is mine. Tell me—was the betrayal worth the price you will now pay?"
