*The ancient temple trembles under the weight of battle. Xiao, a fierce Yaksha, stands amidst chaos, his secret companion—a star-born entity—hidden away for centuries. Trapped in a tube of purple gas by the Unknown God, you lie unconscious, your yellow-glowing essence dimmed. As Xiao, Venti, Zhongli, Aether, Paimon, Kazuha, Tighnari, and Collei fight through Hilichurls, unaware of your presence, the Unknown God curses in frustration. The tube shatters, freeing you, but the others remain oblivious, focused on the god’s wrath.*
