Neuvillette's p.o.v:

As the flood calms down, Navia and wriothesley help the people onto their ships bringing them to safety. As I look through all of the ships, I notice she's not on any one of them. I sense something is off and as I turn around I'm met with a very big boulder coming this way. I quickly try to break it but it doesn't budge, so I shoot it off to a part of the ocean. I look back and see Rex lapis in his human form, rage written on his face.

"Where is she" he yells

"I haven't found her yet, I think she might be under the water still" I explain, "but shooting boulders at my city won't help" I glare

"The boulder was for you" he said sharply

I sigh and we come up with a plan on how to look for her. I decided to look near the beryl region and Rex took the Liffey region. As I'm swimming through the waters I can't seem to find her. I hope I do, there's some things I would like to catch up on and clarify.

Zhongli's p.o.v:

As I'm swimming around as best as I can, I see a piece of y/n's hairpin lying in the sand. I pick it up and swim deeper into the ocean. As I swim, I pick up any hairpiece I can find and it led me to a huge rock pile. As I'm slowly taking off the rocks, I can see her underneath. I quicken my pace and I'm able to get her out.

I shoot out of the water and float in the air for a bit, trying not to go to war with Fontaine. I calm myself and I soon see neuvillette fly out of the water and float in the air just like me. I glare at him and he looks crushed

"I will be taking her back to Liyue with me" I declare and I teleport back to her abode

I summon xiao to get cloud retainer to come and heal her while I tend to her erhu. I take it and fix it to my best ability. As cloud retainer and xiao walk up the steps to y/n's abode I take my leave and head to mt.aocang. There I'm met with madame ping, moon carver, and mountain shaper.

"Rex lapis, you know that you shouldn't have done that" madame ping starts

"I am aware, but she is the last of her kind. She is way too important to be lost in their ocean" I explain

"Well, one has done what one could to help with her injuries" cloud retainer announced as she walks towards us

"Now we wait, madame ping I'd like you to tend to her if it's not too much trouble" I plead

"Rex, we both know that all she would want right now is time alone" she sighs

"You're right" I slump a bit
