  Summary

  What would happen if there was a third traveler? One who the twins meet and started traveling with? And what if the third traveler was separated from the twins... but they all eventually ended up in Teyvat nonetheless? Aether hears rumors in Sumeru about strange hilichurls appearing near the underground ruins of Khanri’ah. What was expected to be something minor turns into something major when they find out what is happening in the ruins... as well as meeting an old friend. What is actually happening, and what does this "third traveler" have to do with it?
