# Page 2: The Lost Flame Chronicles
### **Lore:**
Ancient texts describe the **Seeking Ghost Flame** as a once-loyal spirit bound by a Talisman, created by an ancient Grandis scholar. However, over centuries, its willpower grew too strong. It began rejecting commands and forging its own destiny, much like a traveler searching for purpose.
Some say it seeks out an ancient lost boss **that no longer exists**. Others believe it is attempting to **break free from the Talisman itself**, finding portals to dimensions where it can escape your commands entirely. Some theorize that the flame is actually **trying to return to Tai Yu**, the sage who originally created the talismans, and has long since disappeared. Or, perhaps, it just enjoys being an absolute menace.
However, a darker possibility exists—**that Seeking Ghost Flame is attempting to reawaken Taotie**. This would explain its erratic movement and tendency to flee combat, as if it is actively **searching for something only it can sense**. If true, Hoyoung may unknowingly be wielding a piece of Taotie's **immortal essence**, a thought that raises **far too many questions for comfort**.
### **Infamous Targeting Incidents:**
1. **Maple World Incident, 2024** – Seeking Ghost Flame reportedly ignored a Lucid boss fight to chase a stray snail **at Lith Harbor: Forest Trail 2**.
2. **Black Mage Disaster** – Entire alliance wiped when Seeking Ghost Flame left to fight a single, non-hostile NPC.
3. **Punch King Trials** – Deployed in a competitive setting, it left the arena entirely, assumedly to farm for Arcane Symbols.
4. **The Seren Experiment** – An attempt was made to see if it would attack Seren in her True Form. Instead, it **left the battlefield and disappeared into the abyss.**
5. **Taotie's Curse?** – One Hoyoung player swears they saw the flame circling an **ancient, sealed structure** in Shangri-La, as if attempting to **unlock something best left forgotten.**
### **Potential Fixes (That Won’t Work):**
* **Recasting the skill** – It still leaves.
* **Changing positions** – It still leaves.
* **Sacrificing another skill slot for crowd control** – It still leaves.
* **Threatening to delete Hoyoung** – It **knows you won’t**.
The worst part? It has the audacity to **come back at the worst possible time.** After **leaving you for dead in a boss fight,** it will **reappear out of nowhere, hitting something insignificant as if it had been there the whole time.** And just when you've finally accepted its absence, when the battle is over and you switch to your drop gear in anticipation of **claiming your well-earned loot**, Seeking Ghost Flame **returns from the void, slamming into the loot box before you can equip your gear, robbing you of your potential drops.**
> *“Why do I even bother?”* — Every Hoyoung player, every time.
