Y/n's POV

    Aether, Paimon and the girl named Amber arrived in my house. She wears.... I open the door to greet them as the two hugs me, "Y/n!! We're so worried about you! I'm so happy you're back safe and sound." Paimon cried. I patted her head gently, "It's okay now."

"-Outrider Amber, reporting for duty! Please tell me if there's anything I could help." Amber introduced herself to me, "And take a rest first, Y/n. I'm sure you've been through a lot of.. bad things lately."

"Thanks for worrying... I-I guess, but I'm fine! And I'm glad you save me guys." I sighed, "It's my fault for being reckless... I'm just weak."

"No, you're not weak at all!" Venti just appeared behind of me and hold my shoulder. "In fact, you've gained a lot of skills in fighting, but you're just lack in self-defenses. But don't worry, I will be your self-defenses~" 

Is he.. trying to flirt with me?

Aether stare something in my pocket.. and everything I wear. He said, "Y/n doesn't have a vision, but her physical strength is increasing in battle."

"Oh... Y/n doesn't have a vision? I thought she have some..." Paimon scratch her head. 

"What should we do? Getting a vision for her? Begging for different gods just to get a vision?" Venti thought... stupidly. 

"I think that won't do either... After all I..." I began... wait,

I shouldn't have say this first.

I'm.. I'm not ready.

I don't want... I don't want them to let them know...

Just yet...

Give me some time...

"Oh I know!" Paimon clapped her hand so we get her attention, "Why not go in the statue of the seven? Just near here in Windrise! We can just put our hand in the statue, so Barbatos will grant you a power to control wind- aka having an Anemo vision!" Aether nodded in agreement, "I agree. I think that might work..." 

Venti slowly hold my hand, "E-ehe, I see~ But anyway I have to bring Y/n with me just for a minute if you don't mind! Ba-bye~"

"Wait Venti- W-what are you-" 

.

Venti and I stopped when we were in the rooftop of my house. I looked at him in a confused look of why he brings me here, "Um... can you explain?" He giggled.

"I know that the statue of the seven will give you elements. But for some reason, this feelings of mine bothers me. So, I just want it to let it out."

Wait... feelings?

What... is he talking about just now?

The wind blows through my hair, it feels like the wind is... happy..? I don't know why exactly, but it feels like I feel what these winds are feeling. It's driving me crazy.

"Y/n.." Venti began.

.

.

.

.

"Please don't go there yet!" Venti kneel down in front of me.

Wait. What-

"I know this is a very dumb request, but please listen to me if that's okay..! I just don't want to ruin my plan!" Venti sniffle, as if he's like a kid begging to stay.

Sigh... I actually dream of getting a vision. I remember Diluc gave me a book about those visions... if I remember, there are 7 visions in total. Pyro which is fire, Hydro which is water, Anemo which is Wind, Electro which is Lightning, Dendro which is Plant, Cryo which is Ice and Geo which is Ground.  In my opinion... all of those elements are good, so I don't mind getting any of these. But if I have to choose one... I can go to anemo, electro or dendro.

Venti just mentioned.. plan. "What is the plan exactly?" I asked. Although he knew I'm going to ask him this, he still answered. "Hehe."

That means... he probably is hiding something from us?

"That's all I can say. We can return now." Venti said in a awkward way, "S-so I.. I want you not to get any vision from the Statue of the Seven at the moment. Will you accept..?"

"Oh um... sure I guess?"

"Hehe, good! Well then, let's go back. I don't want Aether and the others to get suspicious by us. Maybe they'll think we're doing something... really that makes them wonder~" Venti grab my hand again.

"Thank goodness, you two are finally back." Amber panted while we're about to enter the house, "Well... we have some business to attend and accomplish."

Oh... a trouble, you mean? I sighed and get my bow, "I will join you." Amber put her hand in front of me, gesturing to stop, "Y/n, remember you have to rest first. Venti, Aether and I will settle this mission."

"Okie dokie then, let's go!" Venti followed Amber, "Y/n sw-.. sweet Traveler! Please stay inside and don't let the Hilichurls or anything that is dangerous approach you~"

I just slowly said 'okay' until I lost the sight of them. Paimon, however, was.. here? And she's eATING MY GRAPES IN MY STORAGE OH NO

( Time Skip brought to you by : Paimon getting sick accidentally drinking your Fermented Grapes )

After I take care of Paimon, she did vomit a lot. "Gnh, Paimon is not really aware about that, but Paimon is thankful to you, Y/n, for taking care of Paimon!" she smiles and floats. "Ah, no problem. I'm always here to help a friend."

We go outside to get some fresh air. My hair is tousled by the gust of wind... for some odd reasons. "H-heeeh?! That's strange, I feel fine here. The wind is just so refreshing~!" Paimon looked at me. 

"O-oh that's okay. This is just... what the wind always treat me." I fixed my hair but the wind still continues giving gentle breezes. It's... calming. And I like it.

"Apples..." 

"Heh? Y/n, did you just said apples?"

"Um! Forget about that... I think I just like fruits that much..." I sighed.

An arrow suddenly aim in the ground... with fire. Paimon and I looked at each other, then to the arrow, "Isn't that's from... Amber? Why did she shoot her arrow in here?" Paimon wondered. Until both of us realized...

"We have to look for them, Paimon! They're might in danger!" I looked at her and bring my bow

"But Y/n, you don't have a vision..! Without it, you can't able to access and obtain the power of... of... ah, of getting Elemental Sight! Without it, you can't able to trace footsteps that Venti and the other's left." Paimon said. Geez, that Venti told me not to go to the Statue of The Seven... now we're in a complicated situation.

Suddenly a weird looking guy with red eyes and a long grey hair appeared... he was walking around, probably lost.

"Razor!" Paimon waved at him. Razor looked at Paimon and followed him. "He... Hello!"

"Razor, I'm glad you're here! If it's okay, have you seen Traveler, Venti and Amber on your way? Cause we're looking for them and they're might be in danger!" Paimon said

I said, "But they're strong, right? Especially Venti... he looks pretty strong. And it'll be suspiscious why- "

"Maybe that Tone-Deaf Bard is planning something dangerous, now Aether and Amber are affected to his plan!" Paimon shouted and also folded her arms and looked back to Razor, "Please we're planning to find them!" 

Razor grunts and starting to... sniff in the ground? Well, not because I find it weird. He's also... cute.

" I smell.. *sniff sniff* shoes... To.. *sniff sniff*" He crawls in the ground like a dog and we followed him, "..to.. *sniff sniff* woods.."

Whispering woods?

"Alright! Thank you Razor! We're heading there!" Paimon flies away to the woods and follow her. Razor even follow us, maybe he wants to accompany us.

.

"Windblade..!" Aether shouted and uses his elemental reaction but a big guy with exotic and weird clothing in a mask attacked him so badly that he fell in the ground.. and I also find Amber and Venti in the ground, too. "Fatuis.." Paimon whispered, while we're in the tree hiding.

Venti tried to get his bow and slowly stand up, "I won't let you hurt anyone..." he started to aim but the Fatui use his hammer and throw him hard in the ground.

The sight is painful... seeing Venti getting attacked by these... bastards. 

.

Narrator's POV

".. weak." 

The Fatui looked at Y/n and gets mad easily as he throw Venti away again in the ground, "What did you just said, kiddo!?"

Suddenly, the place where Y/n was... exploded. 

"Y-y/n!!!" Venti screamed. His eyes were widened, his eyes are in fear. He cannot accept what he just saw.

After it exploded, the smokes surrounded... turned purple. He looked at the Fatui to see something behind him sparks... and found out, it's an Electro vision.

It was Y/n.

"Weak." 

She doesn't have an Electro vision. And a strong gust of wind surrounded her making the Fatui fell in the ground. 

Aether saw Y/n's pendant as it glows aquamarine... it was anemo. He did noticed that there were a little purple gradient in it, but it disappeared. This makes Aether questioned himself 'why she got an electro from the beginning, and changed into an anemo?'

He looked back at Venti, who just sneer at the fatui, secretly laughing. Venti is glowing, and his braids are also glowing aquamarine neon- activating his anemo powers. His anemo powers overflowing to... Y/n.

Y/n's POV

  So... this is Venti's plan all along, huh? He want me to get a vision... with reasons. 

What reasons, you say?

.. to protect my friends and to those I love the most...!!

Aether also join fighting and kicked the Fatui, even Razor and Amber as well. The Fatui's clothes did burned out, at the end he run away in embarrassment. 

"So long, sucker!" Venti teased and stick his tongue out while shooting him again with his arrows. We all laugh together.

I landed in the ground because my new elemental abilities make me fly.

So that means... I have an anemo vision.

"Y/n!! I'm so surprised you got an anemo vision!" Paimon cheered so happily looking to my pendant which is glowing aquamarine brightly. 

"Sorry if I did bring you into trouble... and I did warned you to stay home, but looks like you're completely fine now! Ahaha.." Amber scratch her head and just hug me for an apology. "Hey, it's okay! I feel really good now, and I'm glad I made it to help you."

"Y/n!!~~" Venti smiled "I'm so glad you finally got a vision! Does it feels relaxing? Looks like Barbatos find his one- I mean THE ONE! Hahaha!~" I laughed with him and everyone else, "See, we have the same vision! I'm so happy we got the same vision!!" he repeated

It feels relaxing and.. I'm so very happy and delighted! Having an anemo vision is really fun!

Amber, Venti and I talked a lot of fun stuffs, the fact that we're all bow users.

Paimon's POV

"Um.." Aether raised his hand a bit, ".. you guys didn't noticed it just yet?"

"Eh? What is it, Aether?" Paimon asked while tilted her head.

"Lightning." Razor said

"Lightning? Oh... Electro? Well, you have an electro vision, Razor!" Paimon smiled~

"No... it's not about Razor. But looks like he did noticed it." Aether looked at Y/n's pendant and back to us, "Y/n... for some reason did obtain an electro vision seconds later before she completly have the anemo vision."

Paimon was surprised, "Wait, how?!-"

" Isn't that's weird? Baal did give her a vision but... Venti... "

" Venti took the electro vision away to make it an anemo vision? "

Y/n's POV

    Before we return to my house, I go to the Windrise to have some time with myself.

I need to be honest with myself..

I lost some of my memories before. The past are whispering at me, and it started to brighten up my lost memories. It all started, to this one...

"Big brother... Am I normal?"

"Sadly, you're not. That's why everyone is mocking you."

"You can... protect me, right...?"

"W-what? Me? Why not try to act like us men? Man up, you little wo-man!"

"Big brother... I can tell you I am strong to anything... but there's something I can't face... A-and I need your help for it...!"

"... you're being a crybaby! I despised these stupid behavior of yours! This is why our mom and dad left us! Because you're so stupid! You hear that?! Stupid! Reckless!"

And it went empty. I only hear voices, but I can barely see myself and my big brother shouting at me. But his face... I can't see his face clearly. It scares me...

"Yahoo!~" Venti landed in the ground after gliding and walked towards me, "Traveler, looks like you're having deep thoughts?"

I looked at him, and I almost jumped away... Venti sure always surprise me a lot.

"So um.. I wanna know why you still call me Traveler tho? But you did call my name when Aether... oh nevermind."

"Hehe, glad you get it. If I call you Traveler if Aether and Paimon is around, I'm sure they'll be confused because I usually call Aether Traveler." Venti said

"But... why Traveler?" I asked again

"You'll understand soon." Venti winked.

I sit in the ground and he do the same. We we're just in silence, but Venti is smiling as always. His eyes are glowing when it goes dark as well as his braids. Not distracting but... It really looks cool on him. 

Venti looked at my neck and take off my scarf. Did he noticed something? "Y/n, you have... some scars in your neck."

"Eh? Well, it's because of the Treasure Hoarders remember?" I said and I did try to look to the scars Venti is looking at. 

Venti shook his head, "We heal it before. To be specific, the scar isn't the same as the way the Treasure Hoarders strangle you but... it almost the same as strangulation." He also added, " Your scars isn't noticeable when we're far away- well your using scarf just now. But the more I get close, the more the scars just appear."

I cover my neck again with my scarf, "I don't know what you're talking about... and I never noticed I have this scars."

Venti sighed, "Understandable. But anyway!" he started to use a slingshot he crafted and get a rock, and aimed it on the apple. And eat it. "Mhm~~"

"Hehe.. sure you like apples a lot. Same.." I smiled and an apple fell in the ground when the wind blows. I picked it up and eat it as well. "Say Venti, these winds are really good here."

When I mentioned it, Venti become... bashful. "Oh, r-really? Hehe, the wind today is really nice~ Always nice as it should be."

I nodded my head in agreement, "I hope it'll be always like this."

It gets more comfy. It's refreshing...

Aether and Paimon found us, "Hey! Let's go home. There's a lot of Hilichurls outside here, they might attack us."

I smirked and show their vision to them, "I mean, we can beat their ass!" Venti laughed, "And swoosh~ them away!

Paimon grab Venti's ears and try to bring him back to my home, "O-ouch! Paimon!!"

Aether have a small laugh when they see them, and he looked at me, "Little sister! Let's go back?"

"L-little sister...?" I looked back at him, it feels... bad for me.

"O-oh, sorry. I thought of you like my sister... Lumine..." He mutter the word of his twin sister. Eh? He remind me of his sister huh.. I feel bad, hope he can find his sister.

I hold his hand, " I can act as your sister instead! Maybe it'll cheer you up while searching for your lost twin."

Aether smiled at me, and wipe some of the tears in his eyes, "T-thank you... This really makes me happy."

Venti pouted and grab my hands, "Let's head back together!"

"Alright!"
