You'd somehow managed to get yourself hopelessly lost on your quest to find enough berries to fill your basket. You wanted to bake a pie for Sara's birthday, and while she worked at Good Hunter and more than likely had access to the best pies in Mondstadt, you wanted her taste your grandmother's recipe. Her occupation and access to delicious pies would not stop you. But this was more than you bargained for.

You'd ventured along the path outside of Mondstadt, attempting to take an alternate route to the Dawn Winery before doubling back and making your way back Springvale where you'd get a room at the inn and then head back to Mondstadt in the morning. It was supposed to be simple. But you'd ended up in the Archons only knew, which was far from simple.

And it was getting dark.

You'd dressed warm, it was mid autumn and winter was coming soon, and while Mondstadt didn't get nearly as cold as somewhere like Snezhnaya, the snowfall was still rather intense. It was the very end of berry season and you were making the most of it. Your outfit consisted of a cotton dress layered with a wool over skirt and a long wool cloak. You wore a pair of brown leather boots as well, gloves on your hands. You tugged the cloak more tightly around your body as the wind picked up. There was forest up ahead, dense and full of restless shadows so thick you could barely see past them. You had no idea where you were.

You turned in a full circle to try and regain your bearings, and after a moment or two, you realized you could see Mondstadt across the lake. There was the cathedral, backlit by the sinking sun, and all at once, you realized just where you were.

Wolvendom.

Oh. Lovely. I'm going to be eaten by wolves.

You felt a raindrop splatter against your cheek and you looked up, face falling as you watched menacing clouds roll in, obscuring the stars that had just begun to freckle the sky. The God of Anemo was not on your side tonight. Your eyes scanned the area in front of you. The last thing you wanted was to be caught in one of Mondstadt's thunderstorms without shelter.

"Thanks, Lord Barbatos," you muttered sarcastically.

The wind didn't calm.

You heard a twig snap behind you and you turned, tucking your basket against your chest almost like a shield.

There was a hilichurl standing in front of you. It said something in that weird language they all spoke, something that didn't sound particularly friendly.

"Um," you stammered, "please don't hurt me."

It said something again, waving its club in front of it. You struggled to unsheathe your sword from its scabbard, the vision pendant hanging from the cord attached to your belt glowing softly in response.

"Hey, can you just—"

The hilichurl lunged and you dropped your basket, blocking the club with your sword, swinging a leg out to hit the backs of the hilichurl's knees, making its legs buckle beneath it. You sent a blade of water sailing through the air as the hilichurl struggled to its feet, causing it to stagger back, knocking its head on the side of the ledge behind it. You scooped your basket up and made a run for it, only stopping once you were safely behind a tree.

The lone hilichurl was joined by a mitachurl, and you were suddenly in over your head. You had a vision, sure. You could fight, yes, of course. But you were no Knight of Favonius. And your longsword was no match for a massive axe. You couldn't make it work like Cavalry Captain Kaeya. All your combat training had come from your father, who was a knight and from your mother who knew more than a few tricks of her own.

Of course you could fight. But this was a bit much.

You slid your sword back into its scabbard, but the rasp of metal against leather alerted the monsters, and your eyes went wide.

Uh oh.

You tried to scramble up the tree you were hiding behind, but managed to twist your ankle, making you yelp in pain. Nevertheless, you persisted, hauling your body into the branches.

A scream left your mouth when the hilichurl began shaking the tree. You wrapped your arms and legs around the trunk, hanging on with all your might, but the rain was beginning to fall, and the sudden slickness wasn't helping with keeping your hold on the tree. Your world shuddered as something struck the tree, making you scream again, and you didn't have to look to know that the mitachurl had struck with its axe. A few more swings and the tree would be down.

You grunted with effort as you attempted to pull yourself farther up the tree, hopefully to where the branches thinned enough so when the tree fell you wouldn't end up being trapped. You would not die here, damn it. You refused to. Your hair was now sticking to your cheeks and forehead as rain water streaked your face, the freezing kind of rain that even hydro vision users like yourself weren't all that fond of.

You had no choice but to cry for help, not knowing if anyone would hear you and seriously doubting that they would.

"Help me! Help me!"

Your voice sounded desperate, but at this point, you were desperate.

You heard a shout after the tree shook with another strike, then the crackle of thunder. There was the sound of exchanging blows, something that sounded like a snarl, something animalistic. The ground shook, jostling you free, and you lost your grip, falling down to the next branch, crying out in pain.

The ground shook again and you fell, straight to the ground, into a heap of limbs and messy hair, your basket flying from your hand.

You saw a figure crackling with violet energy before everything went dark.

————————————

You awoke to a loud bang, followed by rumbling. Thunder.

Where... am I?

Your head hurt. Hell, your everything hurt. There was something laying beside you, something warm and furry and soft. An animal? You didn't move to touch it. Your mind was muddled with confusion, but your eyes finally snapped open when a hand lifted one of your own hands.

There was a young man hovering above you. He was wearing a brown hooded coat and a light brown poncho sort of top with tribal markings. The rest of his toned torso was left exposed. A necklace with what looked like fangs hung around his neck.

His hair was long and messy and silver in color, and he had a handsome face, his eyes a shocking shade of scarlet. There was a scar on his left cheek. He looked to be around your age, maybe a little older.

Who...?

He blinked in surprise when he noticed your eyes were open.

"You wake," he said. His voice was a rough sound, low and almost raspy. He sounded like he didn't speak much.

You took note of your surroundings.

You were in a cave. There was a fire crackling a few yards from your feet, and from what you could see through the mouth of the cave, it had begun to pour outside. Thunder was growling overhead, lightning flashing, the brief light making it look like daytime. You were laying on a collection of pelts and a few pillows. The cave was otherwise empty except for the silver haired boy and you. You turned your head to look at whatever was beside you.

You were met with a wall of grey fur, and it took you a moment to realize you were staring at a wolf's back. There was a wolf beside you. You tried to jerk into a sitting position, but the young man pushed you back down.

"No," he simply said, "rest."

He made a good call. Your head was spinning.

"What... Happened?"

He glanced at you. You noticed a bowl of what you recognized after a few moments as wolf hook berries, as well as a bowl full of what looked to be crushed up ones beside it. There was a rock stained with the juice sitting beside this bowl.

"You fall from tree. I save you from monsters."

"...Oh."

"How long was I out?"

"Hours."

The young man turned to the bowls behind him, then looked back at you.

"Your name?"

It took you a moment to realize what he was asking.

"Oh. It's (Y/N). My name is (Y/N). What's yours?"

A beat of silence as he studied you.

"I am Razor."

Razor reached into the bowl of paste, smearing some of it onto your palm, which you didn't notice had been scraped up. It stung.

"Medicine. Will help you heal."

You'd heard about the medicinal properties of wolf hook berries from Barbara at the cathedral before, so you didn't doubt that Razor was doing this to help.

"Thank you," you said, shifting, "for helping me. I should go, though—"

"No!"

You started at the sudden volume of his shout. "No?"

Razor looked sheepish, his voice quieting. "You rest. You are hurt."

You relaxed back into the pelts, sighing. "Okay. I'll rest. But I have to go when the rain stops."

Razor shook his head. "Your ankle is hurt."

You moved both your ankles, met with a painful stiffness in your left one. Razor was right. It was most likely sprained. It would be hard to get back to Mondstadt like that, and it was a beyond stupid idea to try and get anywhere in this rain, let alone on an injury.

A massive grey wolf suddenly entered the cave, startling you. It was carrying something in its mouth. You recognized it.

"My basket!"

The wolf walked over to you, setting the basket down beside you, then promptly turned and left. Another smaller wolf entered a few minutes later carrying what looked to be the leg of a small animal.

Razor took the leg from the wolf, and then turned so his back was to you, working with his hands. He then dropped the meat into a pot you hadn't noticed was over the fire.

"You don't eat it raw?" You asked, and Razor shook his head.

"No. Makes me sick. Heat helps."

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense," you said, "humans can digest raw meat, but we can also get sick from it. Cooking it makes it easier to eat and gives more nutrients."

Razor stared at you for a moment, something almost like awe sparkling in his eyes. It was a little endearing. You smiled.

Was this guy... raised by wolves?

He certainly looked the part.

His body was toned and covered in scars. He looked wild.

"Sleep," he said, "I will wake you to eat."

You were tired. You rolled onto your side, realizing for the first time that you'd been stripped down to your underclothes, left in your blouse and the cotton skirt you'd been wearing underneath the woolen one. Your shoes were gone, so were your socks. You spotted said articles of clothing on a rock, presumably drying.

"I shouldn't," you said, "I might have a concussion."

He tilted his head curiously.

You tried to think of a way to explain what that was. You didn't think that Razor was dumb, far from it. He'd successfully treated your wounds and figured out how to cook without much outside interference it seemed. If anything, Razor was very intelligent.

You sighed. "It's something that can occur if you hit your head really hard."

Recognition dawned on his face. "Oh. I think I know."

"Know?"

Razor nodded. "Yes. Has happened to me. I fall into hole. A red man helped me."

You furrowed your eyebrows. Red man?

"Someone from Mondstadt?"

"Do not know."

You ran through a mental list of any men that fit the description of 'red,' but Diluc was the only one who came to mind, so you settled on him.

"I need to stay awake, just until the dizziness passes," you said.

Razor simply nodded, turning back to the fire, and you relaxed against the pelts beneath your body.

You tried propping yourself up a few times to check and see if the dizziness had gone, and when it did, you fell asleep fast.

You faded in and out of consciousness for the next few hours, waking only when Razor shook you in order to feed you. You ate greedily, not realizing how hungry you were until the tender meat was gone. After eating, you fell asleep again.

You awoke fully in the morning, and you rolled over to find Razor sound asleep beside you. The wolf that had been beside you before was now gone. The rain had stopped, leaving behind that musty smell that rain left behind.

"(Y/N)!"

You started. That sounded familiar, even if the voice was far away. You propped yourself up on your hands, wincing at the remaining tenderness of the scrapes. They could have gotten infected if not for Razor, and you were thankful for his help.

The voice called out again, and you realized with a start who it belonged to. Amber.

Was there a search party?

You put a hand on Razor's shoulder, about to shake him awake, but when you looked down, his eyes were already open.

"Who is it?"

You smiled. "Amber. She's an Outrider for the Knights of Favonius. Someone must have come to the knights to tell them I was missing."

"You were... missing?"

"Yeah," you said, "I got lost."

You cupped your hands around your mouth. "Amber! In here!"

A beat of silence, then the sound of distant running footsteps getting closer. Amber appeared at the mouth of the cave, relief washing over her face as she hesitated before entering the cave.

"Razor," she said, "can I come in?"

Razor nodded. "Red girl is friend."

Amber walked towards you at a hurried clip. "What happened?"

You smiled. "I got attacked by hilichurls as the storm started and Razor rescued me. Wait, you two know each other?"

"Yep!" Amber said, "as an outrider, I know everyone in the Mondstadt region, including those in Wolvendom. You were in good hands."

"Razor helps friends," Razor said, matter-of-factly.

"Thank you for helping her, Razor. I'll take her home."

Amber helped you get redressed, and it felt good to have the comforting weight of your sword on your back again.

As you began to walk, supported by Amber's shoulder, you turned back to Razor.

"I'll come back to visit. I'll bake you a pie."

Razor seemed to like the prospect of you coming back.

"Visit again, friend!"

You smiled.

After getting back onto the main path, Amber spoke.

"You really need to be more careful, (Y/N)," she said, "we were all so worried! What were you thinking?"

You chuckled sheepishly. "Sorry, sorry. I wanted to find an alternate path to find more berries. I got lost. I couldn't have predicted that a storm would roll in. The Anemo Archon was not on my side."

"Yeah," Amber said with a note of bitterness, "he's finicky like that."

You snickered. "You say that like you know him."

Amber simply laughed.

You looked down at the basket in your free hand, noticing that not all of the berries inside had been lost. It looked to be just enough for one pie.

You watched as the first few buildings of Springvale came into view, making a mental map of the area in your head. You'd have to write down the location of the cave when you got home. You'd be seeing Razor again soon, this time bearing gifts instead of injury. Sara's pie would have to wait. After all, she did have access to the most delicious pies in Mondstadt, what with working at Good Hunter and all.

You had a feeling this was the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

You just hoped he liked berry pie.

@starlightofdream inquired: Genshin Impact Ask Game: 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 20, 22, 23, 24, 28, 30, 34, 35

~ ~ ~

Genshin Impact Questions—No Longer Accepting

~ ~ ~

|| oh boy this is a lot--

2. Who is your favorite character?

Favorite to play as, or favorite design.?? Bc for the latter, I’d have to go with Childe XDD IM SO BIASED, I KNOW!!! but that boy has SO MUCH POTENTIAL to be a key part of the game later on~~ close second would be xiao LOL!!

4. Which characters do you have (count all of them)?

oh my goodness let’s see: (female) traveler, Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Barbara, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Ningguang, Fischl, Bennett, Noelle, Chongyun, Sucrose, Qiqi, Diona, Childe, Xinyan, and Rosaria.

7. Who is your least favorite character?

I don’t have one, I don’t think..?? Tbh, all of the playable characters (at least) seem SUPER interesting in their own right!! I don’t dislike ANY of them.!! However, I don’t know anything about Keqing...so i MAY go with her. But she still seems very cool.!!

10. Favorite element?

ANEMO!!!!!! I LOVE anemo!! Not on it’s own, of course, but with a team full of pyro or electro or hydro or whatever I can get my hands on users?? YES!!!

11. Least favorite element?

Definitely geo XDD It just doesn’t match my fighting style..?? I don’t care for the crystalize thing AT ALL and the only geo user i use sometimes is Noelle bc i like her shield and she’s my strongest claymore user (60) XDD Oddly enough, my sister (zhongli main) LOVES geo but doesn’t like to use anemo!! So how ironic~!!

20. Who is the most useful character in your opinion?

Well, I play the most as Traveler, but that’s just bc anemo XDD However... i LOVE childe’s gameplay?? I love catalysts since they use elemental DMG all the time, and with his elemental skill I can just keep slapping people with hydro!! Also, i honestly HATE most bow people, so I use Childe more like a sword user in combat, but when he’s just chilling, I can switch to him and use his bow to hunt without changing my party!! Really love that!!

22. Your favorite character’s design and the least one?

ALREADY SAID CHILDE’S IS MY FAVE CHARACTER but like....aesthetic wise?? I REALLY love kaeya’s aesthetic XDD i’m such a sucker for cryo users looking kinda ice-y... and idk if i have a least favorite, but if i HAD to pick...GAH IDK I LOVE THEM ALL!!!! MAYBE amber..?? No idea, I just love all of these characters XDD

23. Bow, Sword, Polearm, Claymore or Catalyst?

CATALYST CATALYST CATALYST!!!! i LOVE elemental DMG soooooo lisa is one of my main, definitely XDD barbara WOULD BE (and was) until Childe came home XDD

24. Your party formation? (DPS, Healer, Tank, Support)

oh boy i don’t actually know what most of those words mean actually.... I PROMISE IM A GAMER XDD buuuuut here’s the run-down:

Anemo traveler (8): DEFINITELY my biggest main, always leads party, sword is the strongest and I always use her elemental skill and burst

Bennett (80): ALWAYS second in my party. I use him a lot to attack, but most of the time it’s to heal the team and/or give fire for traveler to use in elemental burst.

Childe (80): sometimes he’s switched out, but he’s usually pretty secure. I don’t fight as him as much as traveler, but when some hydro is needed (or I have an cyro skill activated and dealing damage) I always switch to him and beat the shit outta monsters uwu

Qiqi (80): I know she’s a support XDD I use her burst to freeze monsters in the rain and her skill to sometimes heal, but mostly to help Childe freeze monsters with his elemental skill. She sometimes is switched out for Lisa

Lisa (76): Sometimes replaces Qiqi, but when it rains, she replaces Childe. She just destroys monsters, ESPECIALLY in the rain~~

Barbara (70): I hardly use her anymore now that childe’s here, but for spiral abyss?? BEST support and healer XDD

28. What is your Adventure Rank?

45!! I could do the ascension quest and it’ll probably be 46-47, but I wanna get my main people to the strongest they can be for that XDD

30. Something you like in general.

i just love open world games....the breath of the wild vibes that this game gives is NOT lost on me and i love it KJSHDKJSH

34. What do you think of Paimon?

Meh, don’t have much of an opinion? Her voice is REALLY high pitched and loud, but I can get over that. My sisters have the theory that she’s the unknown god, or that she’s the god of time, buuuuuuuuut idk if i believe them XDD

35. A random headcanon.

CELESTIA IS THE BAD GUY IN THIS GAME AND SOON WE’LL HAVE TO TEAM UP WITH THE ABYSS ORDER AND/OR FATUI AND I WILL DIE WITH THIS THEORY!!!!!!
