Summary
Gather round, my precious ones, and listen well.
Gather round, and I shall weave you a tale.Long, long ago (oh, when your grandfather's grandfather still lived), a brave fellowship of heroes sallied forth to safeguard this hallowed elysium in which we dwell, and delivered its inhabitants from a fate worse than death.
But they returned... changed. Not quite all there, or there in places which they had not been previously.
Be sure you do not stray from the path, young ones, for the wilds of Nod Krai are home to horrors which your mind could not fathom.
Be sure not to stray.
[A collection of cautionary tales about the inhabitants of Nod Krai, written far in Teyvat’s future. Each chapter is a standalone story.]

Summary
Jinu blinks slowly at her. It almost reminds her of a cat. When he opens his mouth, his teeth look sharper. “You shouldn’t be here.” He says.
Again, her heart drops. “I know.” She croaks out, suddenly feeling so very fragile again. “But the Honmoon rejected me. My friends turned against me. I have no one— nothing, now. And it’s what I deserve. You were right. Demons like us just… Get to live with our pain.”
“…No.” Jinu says slowly, taking another step forward. That power, Rumi realizes, it’s coming from him. But he’s never had power like that before— how did he get it? “No, Rumi, I mean you shouldn’t be here. This world— it isn’t yours. How did you get here?”
(Or Rumi leaves the Idol Awards broken and betrayed. What’s left of her Honmoon brings her to another world where the Honmoon did turn golden, but they were not better off for it. Despite the bleakness of this future, it may give her the answers, and clarity, she needs to fix her own.)

An elderly kitsune would often warn his pups: never let mankind reduce you to a single tail. For when a kitsune loses its final tail, it perishes.”
Prompt: A kitsune lies in the snow, everything about him blends into the cold powdered surface… except the blood. He's hurt, scared and… suddenly blind
