today was...

strange

normally every few days the hilliechurls would rebuild their camps or you would see a few roaming the cave or fields

but

there was nothing

it was already noon and I have only cleared two camps and fourteen hilliechurls around liyue

something had to happen

why am I upset that I haven't seen more?

maybe this has something to do with that girl

I got to find her
----------------------------------------------------------------

I teleported over the rooves of houses across the town, I must find her

if this was her doing she will be more of a threat than an ally

"oh hey"

I froze up not knowing what to do, I guess I didn't expect to have her find me first

"um hello?"

"ugh what do you want"

"ouch, whatever happened to hello, hi, how are you? what happened to that"

"who sent you"

"huh?"

was that too out of the ordinary?

the girl stared into the sky like in one of those romance books humans created

"Morax"

"Morax!?"

"that's what I said" she turned her attention back to me, "let's just say I'm here to replace you" poking me in the chest

"So the camps it was your doing?"

"Bingo!"

how could she be so happy right now?

do the gods really think I'm unworthy to protect liyue?

am i...........

useless?

"oh come on don't be so down about it, relax", she stepped away from me

"well"

"totalooo, emo"

and just like that she was gone, leaving a trail of purple light
--------------------------------------------

Was she telling the truth?

Was I being replaced?

I must know

'Morax'

those words coming out of her mouth felt like knifes hitting me

she must be lying

Liyues god died a few years back

unless

he didn't die

if that's the case where is he?

that girl knows where he is but I will not go asking her for help

so what do I do?
