-Lumine POV-

Phew, and that was the last chest in Liyue and I have enough primos to wish 30 times. But who should I wish for. Maybe Ganyu, she's sweet and nice. It's good thing that I asked the others to kill the Anemo Hypostasis a few times so I can ascend Jean. I'll worry about the artifacts later.

Paimon: Are you done yet? Paimon's hungry.

Lumine: You're always hungry. But yes, I'm done. Now let's go to Liyue so I can wish for some people and then we'll get some food.

Paimon: Finally!

We teleported back to Liyue and I immediately went to the wishing room and selected Ganyu's banner. It's good that all Liyue 4 stars are in one banner. Let's hope I get at least one.

I started wishing. The first 20 nothing but weapons. The last 10 was had a 4 star. I waited and it revealed to be.

???: Oh hey traveler.

Lumine: Hey Xiangling. Say, I'm hungry can you cook something for me and Paimon please?

Xiangling: Consider it done.

Lumine: Thank you.

I brought us back to Liyue and she immediately ran off to cook while me and Paimon waited for her to finish. After a bit she came back with a lot of dishes and sat down with us and we started to eat. We talked a bit about what was happening, what she missed and how much progress I made. I told her about the adventures and the other things.

-3D POV-

While talking with each other, in the sky, the sun has finally showed itself from behind the clouds and as it shined upon Lumine the fragments reacted. They appeared in front of her which startled them and as the fragments circled a little in the air they then with incredible speed shot into the sky and in a direction of Mondstadt. Lumine checked her map, as she could see the fragment's icons, and she saw that they were heading to the big tree at Windrise.

Paimon: Where are they heading traveler?

Lumine: To the giant tree at Windrise.

Xiangling: Wait what were those?

Lumine: The fragments. Come on, we need to go.

And with that Lumine teleported them to the statue of the seven under the tree. When they looked in the direction of Liyue the fragments immediately flew past them and crashed into the tree. When looked at the place they crashed they saw that a wooden handle appear and after a bit of thinking Lumine grabbed the handle and pulled it. As she thought the wooden door opened and behind it was an spiral wooden staircase that led down.

Lumine: Well. Now I know how I will get the 3rd fragment.

Xiangling: Is this some sort of secret passage?

Lumine: Maybe. But first I need to get 2 more people and some sort of light source to light the way because I have a feeling it will be pitch black in there. Can you please stay here while I go?

Xiangling: Of course. You can count on me.

Lumine nodded and then teleported to Mondstadt and went straight to Jean's office where upon entering she saw her talking to Lisa.

Lisa: Oh hello cutie.

Jean: Hello traveler, do you need anything?

Lumine: Yes. You two to go with me. I found a place where the 3rd fragment is and I need someone who can light the way because it will be dark there.

Jean: Alright, we're ready when you are.

Lumine: Okay.

She then added them to the party and teleported back to the tree where Xiangling was waiting for them and she was then added to the party as well. Before entering Lisa created a ball of purple lightning in her hand to light the way and she went in first. While going down Lumine leveled up and ascended Jean and now she was lvl 60 like all of them. Soon anough they reached the bottom and now they were standing in front a long and dark tunnel.

Xiangling: So, what now?

Lumine: We go in there. There's no turning back.

However, as soon as she walked in into the tunnel she got cut off as from the ground rose another wood wall. When she looked back inside the tunnel she saw that a lot of torches started to light up the tunnel without burning the wood. When looking at what it was she saw that a few meters the floor ended and in its place was a pit. Then, several signs rose from the ground and she read them.

[Welcome to the Parkour course]

[This course will test your endurance as well as your flexibility and quick thinking]

[Do be careful as if you'll fall it will be 100% death so we hope you'll make it]

[Do be warned that this has a time limit and if the course is not completed in 10 minutes you all will die. :D]

[Good luck and have fun :D]

The signs then wanished and Lumine looked at the course and said one thing.

Lumine: Fuck.

-meanwhile on the other side-

Meanwhile on the other side Xiangling and Jean tried to get through the wall with their polearm and sword but it wasn't working.

Jean: Do you think traveler is okay?

Lisa: I don't know. But I hope she is.

Xiangling: This isn't working. This wood it too thick.

Jean: Damn it.

Lisa: Calm down girls. I believe in her and I'm sure she'll find a way to get back to us.

Xiangling: I hope.

Lisa: While we wait, Xiangling can you please head to Mondstadt's cathedral and get Barbara please. In case cutie will get hurt in there.

Xiangling: Of course.

-back with Lumine-

Meanwhile Lumine was almost done with the course. It has been 7 minutes and it was getting harder and harder the further she went. Finally she was at the last jump. A jump from a small wooden beam that was sticking out of the wall to the last edge. After gathering enough courage she got all the strength in her legs she had left and jumped. For her it seemed like world slowed down and it looked like she wouldn't make it but thankfully she was able to grab onto the edge with her arm and then pull herself up and get away from the edge.

Lumine: Oh God. That was fucking terrifying. I'm happy that I didn't skip leg day.

When she looked to the side she saw another sign.

[Congratulations on completing our course :D. Out of 1940273 contestants you were the only one who survived and completed it in 9 minutes and 27 seconds. Hope you have a splendid day :D]

Lumine: Fuck you.

After a bit of rest she stood up and saw that the pit was closing and then something hit the back of her head and fell on her lap. When she looked down she saw the third fragment laying there.

-Lumine POV-

Lumine: Well, at least I got the fragment. Now let's see the quests.

[The mysterious tablets]

[The tablets spoke about the fragments and told about their location. Unfortunately they didn't say where exactly]

[Task: Find all the fragments and see what happens]

[Progress:
1st fragment: 1/1
2nd fragment: 1/1
3rd fragment: 1/1
4th fragment: 0/1

Hint: Take a rest, you deserved it]

Lumine: Yeah, I'll think I'll do what the hint says. After I go back however. Now I need to go back.

I stood up and went back through the course back to the entrance when I saw it opening so I quickened my pace and ran there. A few seconds later I finally got out of there and the passage closed again. I looked at the others who were looking at me with worried faces and there was also Barbara.

Lumine: I'm okay. I promise, I'm okay. And I got the third fragment. Also why is Barbara here.

Lisa: Just in case you got hurt in there. What was in there anyway?

Lumine: You don't want to know, trust me. You don't. Now let's go back. I need to go sleep and relax after this.

They nodded and we went back up, I took the 2 fragments from the tree and went back to Amber's house. I really should start decorating the Serenitea Pot so I can have my own place.
