曜青，飛雨湖。
荇藻開着黃花，游魚在雨絲中跳躍，菱角荷花肆意生長，湖邊石灘常有老龜曬背。

湖中，他背着藥簍，劃着小舟，雨絲順着他的耳廓流下，沾濕了他的衣裳。
他撈取荇菜，擷取荷花，剝開鮮嫩的茭白，隨手往嘴裏扔去。
「唉，太淡了……」他搖了搖頭。
「先生，有一位老人在食館找您，說是您的老相識——」
門童的聲音從對岸傳來。他嘆了口氣，撐船往回而去。

他豈不知來人何意，卻早已厭倦了重操醫業。
「師父今日前來，是要試試飛雨食館的鼎鑊嗎？我可要提個醒，這裏只有重辣和重重辣。」
老者坐在桌邊，嘆了口氣。
「我記得在從軍之前，你的口味還清淡得很。」
他端上鼎鑊，眼中一抹懷念之色轉瞬即逝。
「人…總是會變的。」
老者夾起一片紫魚，在紅油沸騰的鍋里涮了涮。
「那我也試試罷。但此次前來，並非僅僅為了吃食。還記得你救下的那個女孩麼？
「那位始終跟在前任將軍身邊的少女，飛霄。她如今已接任了曜青將軍，需要一個醫生追隨，沒人比你更合適了。」
他無奈地笑了笑，那日口腔的刺痛不知為何又翻湧上來。「即便救下了，不過又是一條上陣蹈死的冤魂。這樣的無用功，我不想再做。」
老者放下筷子，搖搖頭。
「你誤會了，我此次前來，並非勸你救治世人。我來，是想請這位將軍…醫好你的心死之病。
「她會告訴你…醫者的意義，究竟是什麼。」

Rainsoar Lake, the Yaoqing.
In the misty rain, yellow floating heart foliage and blossoms decorated the lake as frolicking fishes leaped out of the water from time to time. At this lakeside abounds with lotuses and water chestnuts, old turtles basking on the pebbles were an everyday sight.

With a herb basket on his back, he rowed a small boat out into the middle of the lake as the falling rain slid down the back of his ear, soaking his clothing wet.
Scooping up floating heart plants, picking out lotus flowers, and peeling open wild rice shoots, sending them all into his mouth to taste.
"Ugh, too bland..." He shook his head.
"Mister, there's an elderly man looking for you over at the restaurant. He claimed to be an old friend of yours..."
A disciple called out from the other side of the lake, to which he sighed and rowed his boat back to shore.

He is of course aware of the visitor's intentions, but he had long grown weary of resuming his old profession as a healer.
"Master, are you here today to try out the dishes cooked with Rainsoar Eatery's cauldron? I must warn you, though: We only serve very spicy and insanely spicy food here."
The elderly man sighed from his seat at the table.
"I remember you preferred bland food before joining the army."
As he readied the cauldron, a glimmer of nostalgia flashed across his eyes.
"People... tend to change."
The elder picked up a slice of threadfin snapper, scalding it in the bubbling red broth.
"I should try it then. But know that I did not come for that. Do you still remember the girl you saved?"
"Feixiao, that's her name. The girl that followed the former general everywhere. She has since assumed the role of General of the Yaoqing and now requires a healer by her side. There's no one more suitable for that position than you."
He smiled wryly, for some reason recalling the sharp pain he felt on his tongue that fateful day. "Those I saved only ended up as another dead soul when they dived head-in back into the battlefield. I prefer to no longer engage in such futile efforts."
The elder placed his chopsticks down and shook his head.
"You misunderstand me. This time, I'm not here to persuade you to heal the masses in this world. I'm here because I want this general ... to heal your despondent heart."
"She will tell you... what the true purpose of a healer is."

Character Details

The former chief representative of the Whistling Flames merchant guild in the Sky-Faring Commission who nearly lost her life in a strange and catastrophic incident on her return journey.
Her face, name, and identity were stolen by the one who orchestrated it all. Yet, by a twist of fate, a sliver of hope remained, and from the aftermath of the Destruction, she reclaimed her life.
Now, she goes by the name "Fugue." Whether it be the bitterness of never returning home or the allure of wandering through the starry seas that drives her, one thing is certain — she has risen once more and set out on her path anew.

那護身的玉鐲業已碎裂，祈福的鈴鐺滾落泥淖，鮮妍的摺扇化作朽灰。
而她只能看着無明的幽火燃燒
——自己曾擁有的一切都在燃燒。

她一時只有惋惜，自己仍舊比人生走慢了一步。
「剛和那行商談成的大生意，白白浪費了機會……
「可惜了這保養已久的尾巴，如今都成了浮雲……
「連答應給大家帶的禮物…居然也要食言了……」
千頭萬緒，身體動彈不得，只有眼角漸漸濕了。

記憶走馬燈般閃爍着，黯淡着。
「真想看看馭空大人帶着我送的弓飛上天空，那是她最想做的事吧……
「岩明啊，以後仙舟商團…都得仰仗他了……
「夢茗的茶種，我也尋到了，她一定心裏歡喜……
「還有燕翠大娘，她的刀也該換把新的了……」
淚珠滑落，在觸到地面前蒸發。

視野漸漸被黑暗吞沒，她已經辨不明仙舟的航向了。
「小女子本想選擇行向更遠的天際，但到最後連敵人是誰都不知道，可真不甘心吶……」

宇宙間的各處，每分每秒都有海量的生命逝去。
在命途行者掀起的偉力前，凡人猶如一粒微茫的塵埃，隨風逐浪，身不由己。

「但也正因如此，這是給予她的『選擇』，也是給予我們的一線生機……」
——那是很久以後發生的一場對話，發生於一位行商與一位天才之間。

The jade bracelet that once shielded her lay shattered, the blessing bell had tumbled into the mud, and the vibrantly adorned folding fan had crumbled to ashes.
She could only watch as the ghostly fire of darkness consumed everything she had ever possessed
— reducing all of it to flame and ruin.

For a moment, she only felt regret that she remained just one step behind life.
"I just sealed a major deal with that traveling merchant... such a wasted opportunity..."
"All that effort for this well-maintained tail, now reduced to nothing..."
"Even my promise to bring gifts to everyone... will now be unfulfilled..."
A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but her body remained still, motionless, as tears quietly gathered in the corners of her eyes.

Memories flickered and dimmed like a dying candlelight.
"How much I wish to see Madam Yukong soaring into the sky with the bow I bought for her... It's what she longed for most..."
"Yanming... From now on, the Xianzhou Merchant Guild will have to depend on him..."
"I finally found Mengming's tea seed... she'll be overjoyed..."
"And Yancui... It's time to get a new knife for her..."
A teardrop slid down her cheek, evaporating before it ever touched the ground.

Her vision was gradually engulfed by darkness, and she could no longer make out the path of the Xianzhou ship.
"I had hoped to journey deeper into the skies, but in the end, I don't even know who my enemy is... How could I be at peace with that...?"

Across the universe, oceans of lives fade away with every passing minute and every fleeting second.
Before the presence of the immense power wielded by the Pathstriders, mortals are but specks of dust, carried aimlessly by the wind and waves.

"However, because of that, this is a 'choice' for her, and a risky opportunity for the rest of us..."
— This is a conversation that took place much later between a traveling merchant and a genius.

少女微弱的意識徘徊於黑暗。
前方，是不見盡頭的長夜，背後，似是近在咫尺的歸途。

她向後退，那裏是她熟悉的繁華花燈，故友在遠方呼喚，等待自己重拾商人之業。黑霧自前方湧現，街市轉瞬化作朽木死灰。
她向後退，星槎的甲板於腳下顯現，她欲乘風而上，卻見詭異的星體懸於天空，熟悉之人化作怪物，舉刀相向。
她想如從前那般能言巧辯，此時卻無法對着面前的怪形發出半分聲響。

「只能向前去吧。」她同自己說道。
「但我如何向前？」她向自己發問。
「抬起你的手。」冷冷的聲音從遠方傳來。
她低下頭，看着貫穿於手掌的傷痕。手中捏着的仍是那把摺扇，她記得它於火中成了灰白，但如今它就在那，就在自己手上。

黑霧再次向她席捲而來。
「向前去吧。」
她抬起手來，穿透掌心的傷痕亮起。那光穿透了黑暗，但也照亮了她自己。
「向前去吧。」
她舉起扇子，那乘涼消遣的摺扇如今卻要冒出火來。

黑霧綿延不絕，但她愈是往前，光芒便愈盛。
「向前去吧。」
那冷冷的聲音愈發清晰。
「不要回頭。」
她向前奔去。
「這星海間萬千世界，我還遠遠未看夠呢……」
她的背後，五條絨尾在此刻徹底綻放，化作烈焰照亮了將她困住的漫漫長夜。

實驗室。
少女的指尖微微顫動，一滴晶瑩的淚從眼角滾落。
那位清冷的科學家望向艙內，表情終於有了些許變化。
「恭喜你『選擇』這邊的世界。」

The young girl's fragile consciousness drifts through the darkness.
Ahead lies an endless night, while behind her, the path home feels just within reach.

She steps back into familiar ground, where bustling lanterns glow and the voices of old friends call to her from afar, urging her to return to her trade as a merchant. Before her, black mist creeps in, turning the once lively market instantly into rotting wood and dead ash.
She steps back again, and the deck of the starskiff appears beneath her feet. She longs to ride the wind upward, but a strange astral body looms in the sky, and the people she once knew become monsters, raising swords against one another.
She wishes to be as articulate as before, but now, facing monstrous forms before her, not a single sound escapes her lips.

"I'll just have to move forward," she whispers to herself.
"But how?" She asks herself.
"Raise your hand." A cold voice echoes from afar.
She lowers her gaze, eyes tracing the scar that pierces her palm. The fan still rests in her hand, though she remembers it turning ashen white in the fire. Yet here it is — whole again in her hand.

The black mist surges toward her once more.
"Go forward."
She lifts her hand, and the wound that pierces her palm begins to glow. The light cut through the darkness but also illuminates herself.
"Go forward."
She raises the fan — Once a source of leisurely comfort, the fan now threatens to burst forth with flames.

The black mist stretches endlessly, but the more she moves forward, the more the light intensifies.
"Go forward."
That cold voice is growing clearer.
"Don't look back."
She runs ahead.
"I haven't seen enough of the countless worlds in the starry seas..."
Behind her, five fluffy tails completely unfurl, igniting into fiery flames that cast light into the long night that ensnares her.

The laboratory.
The young girl's fingertips tremble slightly as a crystal-clear teardrop slips down the corner of her eye.
The aloof scientist peers into the cabin, and her expression shifts at long last.
"Congratulations on 'choosing' the world on this side."

「甦醒，不過是你邁出的第一步。
「『毀滅』的烙印仍影響着你，你必須更快熟悉這副新的身軀，才能使力量為你所用。」
日復一日，她遵照那位科學家的指導，以舞蹈配合那奇特的糕點，她以肉眼可見的速度開始痊癒。與日俱增的，還有她的疑惑。

她在不安中等待着仙舟的消息，許久之後，阮•梅向她確認了星核災變的噩耗——
那被稱為「幻朧」的令使以她的樣貌混入仙舟，掀起災禍，荼毒眾生。

「所幸，星穹列車和仙舟合作，已擊敗幻朧，並未造成嚴重後果。」
她怔怔地聽着「自己」的故事，感覺荒誕而虛幻。
「如此說來，她不僅奪走了我的性命，還奪走了我的一段人生，小女子本不應該以如此面貌回到羅浮，與虹車相遇……」
「幻朧對你的『毀滅』從未停止。你雖在肉體上暫時戰勝了『毀滅』的力量，但她對你意志的折磨才剛剛開始。」
那冰冷的聲音中，似乎藏着一絲不易察覺的感嘆。
「小女子不明白，為何是我？」
「只是命運擲下的骰子，偶然落在了你的身上。」
「…所以小女子的命運，也因此與他們聯繫在了一起。」
「我只是受人所託，將你救下。回到羅浮之後的事，都在於你。」
「但無論如何，小女子已是這些大人物棋局中的一子了吧？」
「無可否認。」

她沉默了許久，盤算着，思量着。
「生意講究你來我往，小女子既與往日不同，可還有選擇的機會？」
阮•梅看着少女，搖了搖頭。
「我不知道。那是你的『選擇』，也只有『你』才能選擇。」

"Awakening is only the first step.
The scars of Destruction still affect you, and you must learn to familiarize yourself with this new body swiftly to harness its power."
Day after day, she follows the scientist's instructions, pairing her dance with the strange pastries. She begins to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye. Yet, with each passing day, her doubt grows stronger.

She waits anxiously for news from the Xianzhou. After what feels like an eternity, Ruan Mei delivers the grim confirmation about Stellaron calamity —
The Emanator known as Phantylia had infiltrated the Xianzhou with her guise, unleashing calamity and poisoning the living.

"Fortunately, the Astral Express and the Xianzhou joined forces and defeated Phantylia before any serious repercussions."
She listens to "her" story in a daze, feeling as if it were absurd and unreal.
"So she not only took my life but also a part of my time... I should never return to the Luofu with this face and encounter the Chromatic Echelon..."
"Phantylia's 'Destruction' of you has never ceased. Although you have temporarily overcome the power of Destruction in your body, her torment of your will has only just begun."
There is a subtle sigh hidden within that icy voice.
"I don't understand — why me?"
"It's simply a roll of fate's dice, and it landed on you."
"...So now my fate is entwined with theirs."
"I was entrusted only to save you. What happens after you return to the Luofu is entirely up to you."
"But in any case, I'm already a pawn in the game of these powerful players, aren't I?"
"Undeniably so."

She remains silent for a long time, lost in thought.
"Business is a two-way traffic, but since I am no longer the same as before, do I still have a choice?"
Ruan Mei meets the young girl's gaze and shakes her head.
"I don't know. That is your 'choice,' and only 'you' can make it."

「當然，我也是。別看我現在這樣，總有一天，我會把克勞克影業買下來！你呢？」
「如此說來，小女子也勉強算半個吧……
「一直想着當有一日漫遊星海，去往不同的世界，聯結各地的貿易。可惜……」
她沒有再說下去，異鄉人若有所思地點點頭，舉起蘇樂達向她致意，一飲而盡後，轉身離開。

歸鄉之路本就漫長，但她還是選擇於此停留。
未來不止一路，她的渴望也不止於歸鄉。

「這位女士，來點蘇樂達？」
她轉過頭，是一個推着車的商販。

Penacony remains vibrant after the storm.
That gilded metropolis, a paradise of luxurious and indulgent commerce, is a destination she had always longed to explore.

"You're a Dreamchaser too, aren't you? I don't see many people dressed like you."
An outlander in hunter's garb approaches her before she realizes it.
"Of course, I too am one. Don't let my appearance fool you. One day, I'm going to buy Clock Studios! What about you?"
"In that case, you can also consider me as some sort of a Dreamchaser..."
"I've always imagined roaming the starry seas, traveling to different worlds, and establishing trade everywhere. Unfortunately..."
She falls silent and the outlander nods thoughtfully, raising the SoulGlad in her honor. After gulping down the can of SoulGlad, he turns to leave.

The road home is already long, yet she chooses to pause here.
The future holds many paths, and her longing is about more than simply returning home.

"Care for some SoulGlad, my lady?"
She turns her head toward a vendor pushing a cart.
"... Judging by your attire, you must be from the Xianzhou Luofu. I traveled there with my boss many years ago, and I still remember the massive ship and vibrant atmosphere."
"When we visited the Whistling Flames merchant guild, the messenger who received us, Miss Tingyun, looked rather like you. I wonder if you know her..."
"Ma'am, ma'am, are you listening?"

She gazes at Penacony's starry sky. People are coming and going in the distance yet unseen by her.
"Apologies, I was just contemplating a "major deal" that could leverage a small advantage to move giants — a venture with immense returns, but fraught with perils...."
"Are you hesitating?"
She smiles.
"Yes, I have hesitated... but I've finally made up my mind."
"If I can dazzle those powerful figures upon my entrance, then that would count as having journeyed to the farthest reaches of the sky."

A bounty is set: 5,000 for leads. 10,000 if captured alive."

—A wanted poster in Dolos

"Catch her, catch her!"
The square was lined with cells, reeking of raw sewage and echoing with whips and wails.
A girl in tattered rags sprinted through the crowded streets, trailing golden blood in her wake.

She raced past the platform, where a potbellied priest was delivering a sermon to the city's gathered faithful.
"By Kephale's grace, let us praise and give thanks for this beautiful world..."

"Integrity, honesty, mercy..."
"—Let us water our souls with virtue, and use love to temper tragedy..."
Just as the girl glanced back, the snarling hounds pursuing her lunged, carving three fresh gashes on her face.

"Treasure and wealth mean naught to Titans, yet they prove your devotion..."
Amid cheers, silks, delicacies, and jewels rained onto the platform, forming a small mountain.

"Shun the Chrysos Heirs' raving lies. Have faith in Kephale. So long as we pray earnestly, the god shall deliver salvation..."
She pushed her way through the crowd, losing the bread in her hand somewhere along the way.
Desperately, she looked around, only to find condescending faces staring down at her, surging toward her like a restless tide.

Her knees went weak as mocking glances and threatening smiles blurred before her eyes.
But the distant voices had already burrowed into her ears, and she couldn't stop.

"Criminal!"

將黃金裔視作沽名釣譽的騙徒，她把手伸向那黃金的織坊。
「蜜釀？棋盤…還有一把怪模怪樣的琴？都是搜刮來的吧……」
她飲下蜜釀，大啖葡萄葉包飯，耍弄着水晶的棋子。
「呵，地板還會轉呢……」

她寒毛狂豎，掙脫毯子，逃向自己陰暗的小窩。

「小饞貓：
玩得還開心麼？織坊廳堂被你當作了肆意嬉鬧的遊樂場。
你品嘗蜜釀，不勝酒力。棋盤亂作一團，連舊琴也不放過。

有句話你需記得：蜜釀須飲盡，世事有轉圜。
知道你手藝甚巧，把你碰壞的琴修好。幸好那位騎士統領不在，不然她一定會用劍鋒釘住你的尾巴。」

「大城邦的人…花樣這麼多啊。」

跟隨織者編織的時候，她常常聽到那些英雄的故事。

「對於流着黃金血的人們來說，逐火是不斷失卻的旅途…即使連生命本身，也微不足惜。」
織者談起提琴最後的悲鳴，死局中陷落的棋子，碎作千道的門徑……
「…那跟我有什麼關係？我只是想吃頓飽飯而已。」
她嘟囔着，蜷起了手指，不小心刺破的指尖上，冒出一滴小小的金色血珠。

這一晚，她也悄無聲息地溜出了織坊。
「沒關係。奔跑吧，賽法利婭。

月下的身影從視野中消失，房間中只留下織者的喃喃自語。

Exiled to the holy city of dawn, she witnessed how the legends of the Chrysos Heirs surged through the streets. Yet when she saw its squalid alleys and filthy, cramped corners, she found the place no different from Dolos.

"Hmph! What Flame-Chase? What heroes? If my experience isn't wrong, I smell shady schemes afoot!"
Deeming the Chrysos Heirs glory-hungry frauds, she targeted a certain golden weaving workshop.
"Honey brew? A chessboard... and a weird lyre? These have got to be stolen..."
She guzzled the honey brew, devoured the dolmadakia, and toyed with the crystal chess pieces.
"Heh, even the floor's spinning..."

When she awoke from her drunken stupor, she found a perfumed letter in her hand.
Hair standing on end, she threw off the blanket and fled to her shadowy den.

"Little Glutton:
Did you enjoy your fun? You treated the weaving hall like your personal playground.
You tasted the honey brew, but couldn't handle it. The chessboard's a complete mess, and you didn't even spare the old lyre.

But remember this: Always drink honey brew to the last drop, and no situation in this world is beyond salvation.
I know you possess great skill, so fix the lyre you damaged. You're lucky a certain knight commander wasn't there, or she surely would've pinned your tail to the floor with her sword."

Clutching the confidential letter, the girl felt a vague, indescribable emotion rising within her for the first time.
"Big city folks... they sure got a lot of tricks, huh?"

The stray cat waited day after day for a harsh reckoning, yet she wasn't held to account.
So, she would whistle, tossing a coin in the air, and time and time again "accidentally" stop in front of the weaving workshop.
"Ciphy, if there's anything you want to eat, just tell us!" The red-haired girls would always have a heap of food at the ready.
While following the weaver at work, she often heard the stories of those heroes.

"For those with golden blood, losses are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey... and even life itself holds little value."
The weavers spoke of the violin's final wail, the chess pieces that fell in a doomed game, the shattered pathways splitting into a thousand fragments...
"...And what's that have to do with me? I just want a full belly."
She muttered, curling her fingers. A tiny bead of golden blood welled up from her pricked fingertip.

That night, she silently slipped out of the weaving shop once again.
"It's okay. Run, Cifera.
Only you know where your path ends..."
Under the moonlight, her figure vanished from sight, leaving nothing in the room but the weaver's murmured words.

高高在上的僭主從王座滑落，手揮長鞭的奴隸主狼狽逃竄，如雨的金錢憑空消失，又自天空落向饑寒交迫的人群……

在那場盛大的表演中，扎格列斯忍不住誘惑而露面，正中黃金裔的埋伏。
燃動的火種，最終沉寂於渦心。
奧赫瑪城中，漸漸傳起那神速無影的半神之名，流浪者的保護神，作惡者的懲戒人——

「我能做到的，只有奔跑呀。」  

Character Story: Part III

• Unlocked at Character Level 60

"Zagreus, god of trickery of old:

Stealing treasures, sowing discord among the gods, stirring up conflict...
Your stale ploys weary us.
This next Spirit Day, the 300 Rogues will stage their most spectacular performance in Amphoreus yet.

The world will be ours, craven god!
Watch us turn it upside down!"

A proclamation adorned with a cat's paw prints, scattered across the city-states of Amphoreus.

"North from Okhema, across the snow-covered mountains, lies Aenionus.
There, I secretly changed two characters on the Granite Code, winning a rogue's indenture in a trial of life and death.
In bays of the south, I snuck aboard a moored ship and dueled a rogue in the middle of a storm, and I hate water most of all!
Then guess what? In a stroke of genius, I whipped out my Pulleroo and took his sword away!
And there's more — under the blazing desert sun, I competed with outlaws to see who could last the longest without water, and in the dense jungle, I raced against hunters... until all 300 Rogues were in place..."

The girl in golden boots spoke animatedly about her journey.
"Next, it's time for every usurper, parasite, and slaver in all of Amphoreus to witness the power of the so-called wretches they despise!"

She recalled how the moment the Coin of Whimsy fell, three hundred Thief Stars streaked across the sky, descending upon the lands of Amphoreus.
Lofty tyrants tumbled from their thrones, whip-wielding slavers fled in disgrace, torrents of gold vanished into thin air, only to rain down from the heavens upon the starving and the shivering...

During that grand spectacle, Zagreus could not resist the temptation and revealed themselves, falling right into the Chrysos Heirs' ambush.
The blazing Coreflame, at last, fell silent within the vortex's core.
In the city of Okhema, whispers began to spread of a demigod swift as a shadow, a guardian of vagrants, a scourge to the wicked —

"All I can do, is run!"
