As I was fighting through a battle that should've ended long ago. A golden star scooped me up and I felt the warm embrace of sunlight and a gentle breeze. Though I must admit that voice scream scared the wits out of me. Though I'm still weak from the fight. I feel some strength knowing that I'm safe in her hands. She even has a bard who heals my soul in the team as well. "Hello Xiao." I turn my head and see Rex lapis as well. "Your self scarifice on lantern rite ensured me coming home. Now you can rest and gain strength." Morax stated. Suddenly after meeting with my teammates. All of us went to do one final commission. A blonde girl in a white dress helped heal me up after doing my burst. After meeting with Herman and then Kathryne. All of us came into the chasm underground mines. After she has to do the fear door sequence twice. She and Yanfei brought another me into their campsite. It was very weird seeing myself. Apparently very injured.
Some time later, I was standing in front of a wooden signpost. Venti exclaimed in excitement of his bow getting more refined. In a blur of white. I entered to see a blue haired eye patch guy and another me. Which is very unsettling but at least we worked well together facing off against a geolavachurl and a whole crowd of hillichurls, even an abyss mage on the water. It felt awesome but I have a feeling that this encouraging warmth will try to protect me by making me stronger than ever.
