Chapter Text
From the bottom of what was formerly a water filled cave under a bird of thunderbolts and lightning. A collection of a hundred sixty shiny stars zoomed out by Lumine's hands. Though these stars had a mission and zoomed over from the land of eternity to the library in the land of wisdom.

Al-Haitham hears those stars coming ahead of time through a simple opening of a nearby book. The stars bounced back looking almost questioning at the feeble scholar who's acting grand sage. "I'd rather be under the radar for a few days, months, years before I join the Player's team." Al-haitham replied to the curious stars. "Try Jean. I heard that the Player wants her." So the stars zoomed out of the house of deyna. Heading towards the land of freedom. Being heard briefly by a pair of long black ears.

While Jean was sitting in her office with piles of favonis work to do. Patrol schedules, training schedule, swordsmanship drills and financial paperwork piled high on her desk. As those stars ghosted through the window near Jean. Jean alert as ever. Got into her combat stance ready to throw those stars away from her. "Can't you see I have no time to go off adventuring with the Player lil stars. Maybe if my workload would lighten then and only then I'll come." Jean then collected those stars with her skill and threw them in Dawn winery's direction. Some hand gloves in black could be faintly glanced.

As those twice rejected stars came upon a red-headed Diluc training hard in his former spy uniform. His claymore came crashing down. "Sorry Player. But I don't think I need any constellations. Go to Mona instead" As Diluc batted those stars towards Mona's rental.
As the glimmer of unknown light with an unknown shape is briefly shown.

As Mona was looking through her hydromancy. Those stars came into her future sight. Since she knew those stars were never destined for her she left a little note explaining why she can't come and hid using her water sprint. Those stars came in shortly thereafter and looked at the note that said. "I got a downgraded weapon, mismatched artifacts, and I'm only lvl 50 do you think lil stars that I'll become more valuable with my C1 and plus it's not my destiny." Those stars headed towards the land of contracts hoping against hope for a home. As an arrows bullseye was confused for a sword's swing as it was heard but briefly.

As Keqing was discussing further real estate planning for the long term with Ningguang on the Jade chamber. Those stars came into her eyesight. Quick as a flash her electro skill caught them midair. "I'm busy and I can't remind the Player of my existence because I don't want to be dragged away yet again from my work." As she pulled her dark iron sword and swung hard electrifying the stars towards bubu pharmacy. As the brief glimpse of various herbs passed the stars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~******¥€€¢¥¥^~~~~~~~~~~
As Baizhu saw those stars fly in looking dejected. "I'm afraid to say that it is quite busy around lantern rite lil stars and I can't spare my assistant like I did last year. She's out gathering herbs and they are very much needed this time. Also I heard that there's a new standard banner five star to the rooster. Why not go to him in sumeru." With renewed vigor those stars zoomed over to Gandarhaville.

As the Forest Watcher Master Tighnari came to greet those stars. And pulled out his skill ball. "I've been ready lil stars." As those stars finally accepted wrapped the Forest Watcher in warm light as the subtle glow of one green star on a fennec fox constellation with another star blinking rapidly until Tighnari briefly saw Lumine surrounded by Tempest, Zhongli, Faruzan and Bennett. Feeling a simple smile from the Player. Tighnari felt accomplished. As his brief glimpse into inazuma to check on the Player was enough for him. In a flash he was back in his familiar forest. A renewed sense of strength as a second green star shined bright underneath his right handed glove. With the taunt of his Skyward harp shot through a mushroom enemy with homing arrows compounding his dendro DMG.
