Honkai: Star Rail - A Flash

Synopsis

Year 7380 of the Star Calendar, the mara-afflicted swordmaster of the Luofu, Jingliu, fought her way out of Starskiff Haven, cutting through the Cloud Knights sent to apprehend her before disappearing into the mists of history. Year 8096 of the Star Calendar, a young soldier named Yanqing rose to prominence in the tournament hosted by the Seat of Divine Foresight and was granted the rank of Cloud Knight Lieutenant. "The years pass in a flash, cups of wine the only comfort." A fleeting flash—such is the speed of swift blades when master and student spar, and such is the flow of the relentless river of time. How long has it truly been? The duel with his master, centuries past, still echoed like a memory from just yesterday. Yet the few years since he took the boy as his student felt like an entire lifetime. Time gallops, as fast as a steed, as sudden as a lightning strike, as agonizing as a blade piercing through him. And still, it feels as though everything has always been the same.
