............................ 

Long drawn out shadows from the brand new moon that was forming, nothing more than a sickle shaped thin slither in the sky. A torrential wind starts to gather within one particular cell casting a rainbow glow of seven brilliant colors. A sly grin from the petite paled haired goddess as the hood of her cloak was blown off to reveal the state she was in. Shackles covering her body as pain gleamed in her gleaming golden eyes The old tongue of Teyvet coming of in hushed whispers from her lips as she ignored the agony her shackles put her through, the chains sizzling with a menacing energy but still she persisted.

"You won't stop me from this task."she hissed clenching her teeth as small pointed elfin ears of a goddess were revealed in the howling winds. An object begins to form in one hand and in the other the remaining elements work to summon to her side. In a flash of golden light she smiled in exhaustion but her task was not complete. Before her a tiny seelie of a light blue hue squeaked in confusion and innocent curiosity. "Veni ad me(Come to me), for I call you."she whispered as the winds died down.

The tiny baby anemo seelie hurried to float in the time goddess's hands. Twitching curiously as it felt Kairos's energy be put into it, letting out a chirping giggle as if being tickled as she began to slightly change its abilities and makeup to make it immune to the Void Realm's corrosion and decay. But there were other abilities she had eagerly given it as she whispered the words of binding along with her daughter's true name. Then while the little seelie was still in a daze she placed it safely inside the vessel trinket she had created. It shimmered in the moon's frail glow as the orb shimmered in her now trembling hands.

Her complexion pale as she took a breath and blew on the trinket in her hands making it vanish into light particles to the wind towards Sumeru's jungle. Her cries of pain shrill and blood curdling as she felt a shock from her shackles. Tears streamed from her eyes as she collapsed, sparking with a red and black static as she curled up into herself. A sobbing melody escaping her in the ancient tongue. "....D-Dain...My l-little ones...."came her soft sobs. She needed to be patient, she would see freedom again but who would reach her first? For once she did not know.

The soft morning chorus of the jungle as the sun began to trickle through the leafy canopy was a welcomed and warm sensation. The air thick and humid, leaving morning dew to trickle down on the flora and dapple the coats of the passing tigers. Xiao had been the first to awaken, long before the sun even had risen. His Liyue style clothes gone in favor of what looked to be more Sumerian, his back shoulder blades left bare to let his wings manifest and rest more comfortably if required. The material itself is smooth as silk with pale hues that mirrored his regular Liyuelite style clothes. Patterns of teal, vermillion, and black covering his sash around his waist. His gauntlets and rosary beads remained. He didn't feel comfortable without that rosary Morax had placed around his neck that day. Trinkets of jade though now graced his body on various thin gold chains that held his mask and incense burner. Gone were his favorite boots in favor of closed toe sandals of a black and gold. A trinket ringlet of gold with jade around just above his left knee.
