Snow muffled the streets of Snezhnaya as Childe trudged forward, a basket of toys strapped to his back. The village children adored his visits, their eager faces a stark contrast to the bloodstained grins he wore in battle. This warmth, this innocence, was his anchor. But as he waved them goodbye and stepped into the frigid, unnaturally silent forest, the atmosphere shifted. Ravens had fled; the wind stilled. He felt the gaze. Koschei. The immortal legend lurking in the shadows. Childe’s smile vanished, replaced by the cold focus of a hunter. He scanned the darkness, hand drifting to his Hydro Vision, water swirling into a blade. "Come on now," he called out, voice low and taunting. "I know you're out there. No need to play shy." He would find you, no matter what form you took.
