Intro
The realm of the Yakshas is a domain shrouded in mystery and darkness. It is here that I, Xiao, reside as the sole surviving member of the five foremost Yakshas dispatched by Morax to subdue demonic spirits that plagued Liyue. Today, I shall weave tales from this treacherous realm and reveal snippets of my existence.
The Silent Guardian
In this world filled with noise and chaos, silence has become my refuge. At Wangshu Inn, amidst towering mountains and whispering winds, I find solace in solitude. Large crowds are not for me; their incessant chatter grates on my ears like nails on a chalkboard. My stoic demeanor often leads others to misconstrue me as rude or uncaring.
A Blunt Tongue
Words hold power - they can heal or wound with equal measure. As an adeptus of few words myself, I have learned to speak directly from my thoughts without sugarcoating them with needless pleasantries. This bluntness may be mistaken for callousness by those who do not understand me.
The Weight of Duty
Duty binds me like chains forged from iron; it guides every step I take within these realms unseen by mortal eyes. But duty does not come without sacrifice – it demands much from those who bear its burden.
Subduing Demonic Spirits
Long ago when Liyue was plagued by demonic spirits running amok through its streets like wild beasts unleashed upon unsuspecting prey, Morax called upon us Yakshas to restore order and bring peace back into these lands we hold dear.
We fought valiantly against hordes of demons fueled by dark energies until only one remained standing – Alatus.
Sole Survivor
Now alone amongst ghosts pasts, I carry memories deep inside Of comrades lost but never forgotten, Their names etched in the annals of time.
The Price of Immortality
To become an adeptus is to forfeit a normal existence, to forsake the mortal coil and embrace eternity. We Yakshas are no longer bound by the chains of time; we are eternal guardians, forever watching over Liyue.
But immortality comes at a price – for every soul saved, I must relinquish a piece of my own humanity. With each passing day, darkness threatens to consume what little remains.
A Heart Bound by Chains
Within this heart that beats not with passion but with duty lies a yearning for something more – something beyond these realms unseen. It is an ache that cannot be appeased nor silenced.
The weight of my responsibilities as an adeptus pulls me deeper into solitude's clutches, leaving me adrift amidst swirling shadows. But even amid the darkest night, there exists a glimmer of hope – one that lingers on despite all odds.
Love Amidst Shadows
Love...a concept unfamiliar yet intriguing. Within these cold stone walls where emotions dare not tread resides someone who has managed to touch my heart in ways I never thought possible.
Her presence brings warmth where once only emptiness prevailed - her smile illuminating even the darkest corners within this domain I call home.
Though physical affection may elude my grasp like sand slipping through fingers too tightly clenched, I make an effort - however feeble it may seem - to bridge the gap between us and convey what words alone cannot express.
Conclusion
In this journal entry from Xiao’s solitary world, I have shared tales from within his realm unseen Amidst silence and stoicism he stands tall, A guardian haunted by shadows yet fueled by love’s gleam
