Chapter 1: The Child Who Was Born from the Stars

It was a quiet night in Liyue, it was the time when several jobs closed so that those who had had their workday could go to rest, even so, both the bars and restaurants remained open to the public until later because it was already weekend and politicians, businessmen and actors were going to take a well-deserved rest in these places, however all this tranquility was not compared to what was in a village far away to the north.

The nights in the Chingtsé village were the calmest, when the children were going to rest due to the call of their parents or mostly grandparents, there was not a single noise other than that of the insects and the falling water from the waterfalls, it was an atmosphere of total relaxation, especially the beautiful starry sky, that for some strange reason the stars looked more beautiful in that small town; However, like almost all the inhabitants of Teyvat, they did not know that this sky was a total farce set up by the greater Gods, they knew what was happening or not in it, being unknown to all living beings in Teyvat. that was behind that false sky, but for some reason, that day the Gods did not notice the small object that crossed the dark mantle, even so it was not going to change the perception of the inhabitants of that world since that object could easily be could be mistaken for a shooting star, however, this was not one, as it was being attracted by the force of gravity and had no signs of pulverizing in the fall. This already had a fixed point in that world, the small, old peaceful village.

A loud roar was heard in the mountainous area on the other side of the river, several inhabitants of Chingtse were suddenly awakened by the loud sound, almost few adults left their houses, the elderly people were somewhat bewildered and scared, but those who were not There were so many of them arguing about what had happened, and you could also see a trail of smoke down the mountain. They knew that something had fallen there. Many feared what it might be. Others suggested that it was better to check the next day, but the head of the village, Ruoxin decided that it was better to see at that moment, she made that decision out of curiosity and also took that event very calmly, thinking that it would only be a space stone, however she was not alone since just during the morning of that day they arrived. some carpenters who helped build a new house and stayed camping overnight, so only about 3 of the seven went.

It was somewhat difficult for the older woman to climb that hill, however, she was not very old yet and she had help from the workers. When they reached the chasm of the steppe, they noticed that the asteroid did not hit the large nearby mountain. but it was on the same plateau.

With caution they went to the large crater and what they found in the center of it left them speechless.

A kind of white sphere was very noticeable to those who were there, it also had a reddish circle in the middle, but it looked too much like a window.

The carpenters hesitated, but the older woman decided that it was better than what was there, that perhaps it could be something valuable or something that the geoarmy would be interested in, so they decided to go down.

The rock was hot, but by the time they had been arguing below it was already colder; When they were completely down they began to observe the artifact more closely. It was totally foreign to their knowledge, it could be an ancient relic or something even more unknown, they simply did not understand what that was.

At that point, what they would have least imagined happened, the part where that red display case was began to open as if it were a trap door, from there a steam came out that annoyed the carpenters, but when Mrs. Ruoxin managed to clear it with her hand could see totally stunned by what was inside the chamber, it remained completely silent making the only thing that could be heard were the baby's cries.

A little girl was walking alone in the forests of Wunang Hill, the place was known for being terrifying and gloomy, as well as very quiet, but the girl, no more than 7 years old, did not care about that, she looked calmer. than a child would be, in fact, he was looking closely at all that landscape.

She had gone there because her parents were famous artists, both firmly dedicated to Liyue style opera, she also loved the world of that musical style so she also decided to accompany them on their trip in search of inspiration, although she thought that perhaps she had gone too far, since it was a large mountain that divided as a barrier the place where she was and her parents who were in the Chingtsé village. Maybe it makes them worry a little.

Fortunately, the girl thought that the path she made with stones would work, but when she turned around she realized that there were too many rocks scattered on the ground, she couldn't distinguish which ones she had left. The girl tried to calm down, she knew that she should not get to the point of crying, since that would attract the attention of unwanted guests; The Hilichurl were very famous in that area, if they only ran into her they would make her dinner.

The girl walked looking around, but the more steps she took it seemed that the place became more terrifying, just as she felt that she was not the only one in those forests, that she was being watched from somewhere.

About three Hilichurl were carefully observing the girl from behind some bushes, they had to be quite stealthy so as not to lose their food, but it was going to be an easy dish, since she was alone and defenseless, there was no one around that she could help.

The three humanoid beings had a great craving for proteins, the one in the middle wore a kind of blue hat that he stole from a former victim, he led the other two fools that he had on his sides, he was their only hope, since the Mitachurls leader had been defeated by a certain brat who kept leaving them in ruins.

The three of them remembered very well that human cub, who left them full of wounds in their last encounter, who fought savagely and mercilessly against them, sent several of his comrades flying several meters through the air and destroyed camps with only his fists and his stick, in fact they doubted that it was human because they did not know any other being so small and with such immeasurable strength. Every time they remembered those encounters with death, their bodies did not stop shaking, but those days were going to end at some point, the hilichurl with the hat already informed a nearby village about the boy, and with that they reached a point. I agreed, now I just had to make up for it with just a piece of that girl that would look exquisite in a soup.

- Hi guys! Are they playing hide and seek?! -but suddenly horror erased all traces of his thoughts.

The girl, already getting nervous, continued walking looking for a way to return, but suddenly she heard some horrible screams coming very close to her. When she looked to the side she could see about three of those horrible beings screaming with their hands up as they ran towards her. Even though they seemed disoriented and stupid, they were still terrifying for the girl. She just crouched down to scream at the top of her lungs because of the immense fear she had. She didn't want the end to go away, but that simply made her unable to do so. See what came next.

One of the Hilichurls was grabbed by the feet and then thrown like a rag doll, flying several meters away from Wunang Hill; Then another was knocked out with a simple blow of the cane, and the leader of the small group could not take it anymore, his heart was beating to the point that it seemed like it was going to explode, the only thing he did was fall collapsed to the ground from the horror he witnessed, of how the monster of his nightmares wiped out everything once again. All this happened in less than 2 seconds.

The girl, even with tears, feared for her life, she had not yet realized what had happened, and she mistook the Hilichurl's screams of horror for those of attack. She was still cowering and sobbing hard even though it had not happened to her. nothing.

-Hey girl, why are you crying? Did you hit yourself?

The little girl heard a childish voice, it had a relaxed and calm tone as if it were that of any child. The girl, even afraid that it was a Hilichurl who spoke her language, still cautiously removed her arms that were covering her face, but her eyes suddenly opened to see the being she had. In front of her.

He was a very ordinary boy, he must have been his age, there was nothing abnormal about him, although when he paid attention a little he saw that his black hair was somewhat irregular, it had several long, pointed strands, however, it could not be seen. messy. Something interesting was the clothes he was wearing, which looked like that of some practitioner of some martial art, in fact, that could be true since he was carrying a kind of combat staff that was a little taller than him; but what caught the most attention was what was wagging behind him, it seemed to be a tail, but he thought that maybe it was some kind of decoration on his clothes.

- Are you okay? - the boy asked with a confused face.

-Eh... ah yes yes! -The girl responded, wiping her tears and standing up. She noticed that she was taller than the boy, but by a few centimeters. "Now I'm fine, thank you."

- Mmmm, no problem - said the boy, still confused.

The girl wondered where the monsters were, it was true that she had seen them but now they were nowhere to be found, until she saw the Hilichurls lying on the ground unconscious, the girl screamed.

- AH! They are there! - said the girl with a scream, hiding behind the boy - They wanted to eat me! But... Why are they sleeping?

- Eat? Why would they eat you? - said the boy confused, moving that brown flagellum from behind, that was really a tail.

- They are Hilichurls! You do not know? Adults always say that they steal children and then eat them in their camps. Don't they scare you? - said the girl, annoyed by the little one's relaxed mood.

- Fear? But they are super friendly! I always play with them! Although Grandma Ruoxin says they are bad, they are actually very funny! We have a lot of fun when I chase them! But when there is one of the big ones, they chase me and then play fights with sticks! - said the boy with great enthusiasm, as if it were the funniest thing in the world.

The girl couldn't believe it. Was she really playing with Hilichuls? Although looking at the ones he was lying on the ground it seemed like they weren't really asleep, in fact one had a big bruise on his head.

- Did you hit the Hilichurls? - said the girl.

- Yeah! I do it and then they fall to the ground asleep, although later they get up tired. And when they are well rested I go back to playing! -The girl couldn't believe anything she was hearing-Although there aren't many of them now, I saw that several were leaving the mountain very far from here...-she said with a somewhat sad tone-Maybe it's because they already they get older! Like children in the village who when they are older go to the city!

The girl did not know if there was a city of large Hilichurls, but she did know that playing with these was not normal, she was very clear that these were completely dangerous for even an adult, she could not believe anything that strange child said. , but the two bodies lying on the ground seemed to him to be sufficient evidence to corroborate his words.

- I... I see... - the girl said, still stunned, but then she shook her head - You talked about a village. You mean Chingtsé, right?

- Yeah! The one around the mountain. That's where I live! - said the animated boy.

- C-Could you take me there! Please - said the young girl relieved.

- Of course! Just follow me!

A smile formed on the girl's face, but when the girl was going to take the first step, the little one with the monkey's tail ran out at an incredible speed, he was faster than any adult or animal I had ever seen, in an instant he was there and then He vanished while running and jumping. In a few seconds she was alone again, but before her desperation overcame her she saw the same small figure, but in her direction, he stopped in front of her with a sad face.

- Sorry... I forgot that not everyone follows my same step... I'm really sorry - said the boy with a strong feeling of guilt.

- Don't worry, at least you're back - said the girl with a nervous smile.

The two children began to walk side by side, the girl looked at her tail a lot, she knew that there were several breeds that had the appearance of animals, like those with cat tails and ears in Monstad, just as these also had special abilities. .

- Are you of any race? - said the girl, breaking the silence - I mean, you have a tail, not all children have one.

-Oh it's true - he said looking at her - I don't know either, and neither does grandmother, but she says the same thing as you, that I am of some race.

-I see...

At that point they passed near a solsettia tree, the girl was a little hungry, but where the fruit was was very tall, but suddenly the boy jumped which sent him almost to the top, where with one hand he grabbed a of the fruits and another with the tail, when he fell he offered one of these to the girl.

- Grandma says that I should always share the fruits I find, do you want? - the girl just nodded and accepted the solsettia.

They continued walking, the atmosphere was no longer gloomy and they could hear the birds singing, and after a while they reached the end of the hill until they found a cliff with a wooden ladder, the girl went down little by little, but that The boy just jumped and landed on his feet despite how high the slope was.

The girl was fascinated by all those feats that the boy accomplished, she simply could not believe that there was a child like that. When they went down the stairs they continued their way through some well-known ruins in said area, even so, this was little visited because of the Hilichurl, however, on the way they did not meet anyone, not a single soul of these creatures, of Soon as they walked the boy raised his eyebrow.

- Girl, do you have a name? - the boy asked.

- Of course, my name is Yun Jin. And what is your name, boy? - said the girl, feeling somewhat offended.

- I am Sun Goku, but my friends just call me Goku - the boy said with a somewhat sad tone at the end, but then he smiled again - And Yun Jin, what were you doing in the middle of that mountain?

-Ah... I was just lost, my parents are great musicians, I want to be like them, and that's why we came to the Chingtsé village, to look for inspiration, but I wanted a quieter place, but I got lost - said the girl saying That last bit a bit embarrassed - The bad thing is that I feel like I didn't achieve it...

- Don't worry, you will surely find inspiration on the way to the village! It's going to be long at this speed, but it sure is fun! - said the boy - And what music do you sing?

- From the Liyue style Opera - he said as if it were obvious.

- What is Opera? -Goku said even without knowing what he was talking about, it was going to be a long trip.

They passed through the bamboo forests while the girl explained about the opera almost the entire way, and even though she thought the boy was a fool, he actually paid a lot of attention to what the little girl was telling him, about how people He admired that type of music as well as how prestigious and important his parents were, he said everything with a certain calm and elegance, but at the same time with a very childish spirit.

-And Goku, what do your parents do?

- I don't have parents, I only have Grandma Ruoxin - said the boy with his happy tone.

- Don't you have parents? Where were you born from then? - Yun Jin asked confused.

- Mmm... I don't know, grandmother only told me that she had found me in the forest and she took care of me since that day - said the boy, as if that were not of the utmost importance.

- I see... and what do you do Goku? Do you have any dreams?

- Any dreams? mmm, I just like to play with Hilichurls and read Grandma Ruoxin's books, maybe I can be a writer and make my own story - said the boy - But I would also like to help the other grandparents, like growing plants or making ornaments. wood I'm very good at taking out turnips when asked!

- Mh, well we have very different lives - said the girl - And what is it like to live in the Chingtsé village? Do you have a lot of fun with other children or is it boring as adults say?

-The village is very fun! It's refreshing to swim in the waterfall and jump through the trees! And also with the Hilichurls! But... - said the boy, getting a little sad - I don't have many friends... they don't want to play with me because they say I'm weird.

-For having a tail and being very fast? - said the girl.

- Yes, more recently, they say I'm very boring, the time I played ball with them I sent it to the other side of the river... I'm not good at playing with them - said the boy, very dejected.

- Mmm, but, you saved me from the Hilichurl. That seems incredible to me! "I don't think you're boring," the girl said with a smile.

- Really? -said the boy, recovering his happy tone.

- Yeah! Besides, you invited me those mangoes and your company is very fun - said the girl, seeking to cheer her up.

- Do I seem funny to you? -said the boy with hope on her face, the girl with a sweet smile nodded her head, at which point she began to jump with happiness-I'm fun! I am funny!

Fortunately, they were already on the suspension bridges of the village where they could see the characteristic platforms of the place. Jun Yin could see people in the distance. There were old people watching over their grandchildren who were playing with each other. Unlike Goku, they were not They didn't even have a tail, they were ordinary children like her.

Then they managed to get to the center of the village, near the mill there was an older woman along with a couple of adults, they looked worried.

- Don't worry, the girl must be nearby somewhere, she couldn't have gone very far - said the old woman with a somewhat stressed tone.

- It's been a while since you last saw her! What if she has fallen down a ravine? Oh if she has been caught by bandits? Oh yeah...? -The young woman spoke with a hysterical tone, but then she noticed the presence of the two children, but her gaze was fixed exactly on the girl. "Oh, Morax!" There you are my little one!

The woman ran directly towards her daughter, the father of the family also ran, but stopped looking at the boy, especially the peculiar tail he had.

-And who is this child? - asked the young father.

- This is Sun Goku, he was the one who rescued me from the Hilichurls on Wuwang Hill - said the girl, approaching the boy and shaking his hand.

- I see, thank you very much Sun Goku - said the mother, giving the boy a reference, but in that she remembered her daughter's words well - Wait a minute, did you say Hilichurls?!

- Eh yes, but Sun Goku defeated them all in a second! - said the girl trying to tell the truth.

- One second? -Her mother was confused.

- Yes, it was the fastest game so far, but it was because there were only 3 - said the boy proud of his new record.

- Game?!

- There is Goku... I told you a million times not to hang out with the Hilichurls, I told you that they are bad and hurt people - the grandmother said as if playing with monsters was the reason for a casual wake-up call. .

-But they didn't hurt me or Yun Jin! - said the boy trying to give an excuse.

- You haven't seen what they really are, so please don't make me repeat it - Ruoxin said firmly.

-Okay...

At that, the boy climbed the stairs that led to his adoptive grandmother's house, she only gave a sigh.

-I'm sorry for the problems my grandson caused with his daughter, he is still a child who is learning, I hope you forgive him.

-Don't worry Mrs. Ruoxin... although we still don't know much about how true what you said is... we thank you for bringing our dear healthy Yun Jin with us - said the girl's father - Truly excuse us us for the commotion my daughter has caused.

-Ah... don't blame her, just like Goku, the curiosity that she must have when knowing what was on the other side of the mountain is normal, I'm glad that she was safe and sound.

- You don't know how grateful we are, ma'am. If there is anything we can use to repay you for this favor, tell us! We are very indebted to you and your grandson - said the mother.

- No, no, no problem, although... - The grandmother then looked at the direction where her grandson went with a somewhat sad face, and then looked back at the young parents - Well, Sun Goku is not from I have many friends in the village, and I don't want him to get into mischief again, so could your daughter play with my little grandson? If she accepts of course.

- Yeah! I want to play with Goku some more! Can? -said little Yun Jin looking pleadingly at her parents.

- Well, if that's what you want, no problem... but please, no playing with hilichurls! - said the mother.

- Of course! -said the girl who had already seen many Hilichurls that day.

The girl immediately went up to the house where Sun Goku was, he smiled widely when he saw her.

Throughout the afternoon they played non-stop, Yun Jin was amazed by the feats that little boy could do, he could easily climb the trees in a single jump, almost swim against the current of the waterfalls, also how he lifted a rock of large size to use as a table, but that large stone could not have been lifted even with ten geoarmy guards, but something that also left her fascinated was how she got lunch.

The boy went to a small pier in the lakes where the waterfalls fell, he said he was going to catch a big fish, but he didn't have a single fishing instrument, the only thing he did was stick his tail into the water, the girl didn't. He knew what was supposed to happen, but suddenly something took the improvised bait, the boy simply pulled his tail out of the water to reveal a fish that must have been his size, although with a single kick he managed to kill it.

The girl just stood applauding at that skillful act of hunting, then they just made a bonfire and cooked their fishing prize, the food wasn't bad at all.

While they were eating, Yun Jin talked to her about what the theater was like and the plays that her parents had done, as well as telling her about some plays that were in the port of Liyue, but to little Goku's surprise, she knew several of the stories. that he had mentioned, apparently the boy had read the books on which these operas were based, in fact he was surprised that he is a great reader.

- I read a lot when it gets dark or when I'm tired, Grandma Ruoxin taught me to read from a very young age, she says that very few children in the village read like me - said the boy - But what I like the most are the stories! action and adventure!

- Have you ever thought about going to the adventurer's guild? - Yun Jin asked.

-Mmmm Oh yes! The guild! It's true, but grandma says that I have to think carefully if I want to join, and that I have to be bigger to enter," said Goku, taking a bite of his fish.

- I think you can be a great adventurer! - said the girl with emotion.

- Really?

- Yes, you are very strong and maybe when you grow up you will be even stronger. I know! -said the girl as she stood up and extended her hand -If they turn you into a famous adventurer, I will make opera songs about your exploits when I am famous too! A deal?

- Wow that would be amazing! Thank you very much, Yun Jin! You're the best! -said the boy, giving him a hug that made the girl blush, but not because of her shame, but because she was taking the wind out of him. "There is forgiveness!"

When the sun set, the parents along with the girl left the village, although of course, the two boys said goodbye with great spirit, Goku then went to his grandmother's house to read the books, specifically the operas. What Yun Jin spoke, however, Grandma Ruoxin entered her room smiling.

-Oh Sun Goku, I see you had a lot of fun today. How did you like your new friend?

- I thought it was very funny! She didn't complain because I'm different. We even said that one day we would meet again!

-It's good that you have made a new friend, but there are also the children of the village, you were able to play well with Yun Jin, maybe the others would also have fun with you - the lady said smiling.

-Mmm, well... - the doubtful boy responded - Good night grandma, rest well.

"You too, my little monkey," Ruoxin said affectionately.

The lady slowly left the room to go to hers, however she seemed worried, she still did not know very well the limits of that child, she did not know where he could get so much strength from, but even so she wanted the best for him, for him to stay. in the village so that he can live peacefully.

Meanwhile, Yun Jin on the way to the port of Liyue was very satisfied and smiling, she loved spending every second with that little boy, she really wanted to see him again at some point, however she had to think about the Opera, which was what mattered. later in his life, fortunately he found the inspiration to compose a song, in fact, it already had the perfect name: "The Mystery of the Monkey Boy of the Mountains"

Goku was a happy child but different from all those in the Chingtsé village, he was the focus of attention of all the inhabitants of the small place due to his peculiar appearance and strength, his superhuman abilities dwarfed the strongest man who had ever set foot in that village, no one Hilichurl was able to stop him while they fought for their lives against that little guy, who took all his assaults on the indigenous camps as a little game. The boy could take his much-loved Solsettias from the highest trees to a huge fish for the house when he felt like it, just as he managed to hunt the largest wild boars.

For the children it was somewhat annoying, since due to his great power he always took advantage in all the games, so they excluded him almost all the time.

Even so, the boy lived happily, swinging between trees and mountains as if he were a monkey. The cane that Master Lu made him served as a climbing instrument as well as a weapon with which to knock out rivals, the blue suit was a gift from his grandmother Ruoxin that she sewed for him.

The boy was in a canopy of the trees that were attached to the mountains while he ate the tenth Solsettia of the day, he looked smiling at the beloved village to which he belonged, but it was too quiet and the only thing it was known for was its tranquility. For this reason, while admiring the landscape, he swore that he would do such a great feat that he would popularize the village forever. However, he did not know of the dangers that were meticulously stalking the place, and that were prepared for his desired revenge.
