Currently our protagonist and his guide were walking towards Good Hunter to get some food after getting a well-deserved gliding license.

Paimon: Finally! Break time! It was just adventure after adventure, and Paimon's quite hungry.

Y/n: I could eat a whale right now...

Paimon: Speaking of food. Didn't Amber promise Paimon a Sticky Honey Roast? Paimon forgot to tell her about it!

Y/n: Paimon forgetting food... The world is ending.

Paimon: Oh no! Is everyone gonna turn into dust like that story you told me!?

Y/n: Paimon, I don't feel so good. Delete my browser history.

Paimon: HANG IN THERE, Y/N! WE'LL GET THE PURPLE GUY!

Y/n: Okay, food time.

Paimon: Yup! Huh, is that Jean over there?

Yes, it was the Acting Grand Master. And she was currently talking with another woman who wore a black and purple clothing, and had some sort of face-mask over her eyes, that mask looked like it could be used in some sort of rich folks' party or just a cult.

Paimon: We could wait and let her finish, then go say hi...

Y/n: Or we could do a little bit of eavesdropping. I think I know my choice.

Paimon: Operation: Sneaky! Rewards: Sticky Honey Roast!

The two idiots hide behind a house and peek out a little, listening to the exchange of their targets.

Fatui Diplomat: -which is what brought us to this point in the first place. If you are unable to promlpy deal with the Stormterror threat, then leave the defense of Mondstat to the Fatui. We can put an end to Mondstat's dragon issue, all we need to do is bring that monster to the-

Jean: "Monster"?

Fatui Diplomat: Yes. What's your point?

Jean: Ah...

Jean looks like she is thinking fo a reply, before looking the the Fatui diplomant.

Jean: I'd expect a more professional attitude from your diplomats.

The Grand Master looks at the diplomat with serious and sharp look, and continues on more seriously.

Jean: Yet here you are saying you want to "put an end" to one of the Four Winds of Mondstat? I won't have any of this nonsense in front of the Knights of Favonius.

The Fatui diplomat giggles like the average villain's minion and responds.

Fatui Diplomat: It's not as crazy as you make it sound. Fine. That's enough negotiation for today. At this stage, it's simply...an amicable exchange of constructive opinions, no? I'll be sure to make... Thorough notes...

And with that Ms. BadGuy leaves the blonde Acting Grand Master to her thoughts. While the two companions have a short exchange.

Y/n: *whispers* that mask was retarded.. How do they even see?

Paimom: *whispers* Paimon doesn't know, but that lady had "I am a villian" vibes around her. We should go talk to Jean.

Y/n: *mutters* Maybe the masks are like sunglasses.

The chef and the emergency food walk towards the dandelion thighs owner.

Y/n: Yo, Saber.

Jean: Oh, Y/N, Paimon. You're back.

Y/n: Have been for a bit actually. Did a treasure hunt for eyepatch, and got my gliding license from Amber-iino.

Paimom: Speaking of gliding license, do you have the ACTUAL gliding manual, Master Jean?

Jean: Yes, I do. I'm surprised that you were able to get the gliding license without the manual though. And Paimon by "actual", I'm guessing Amber messed up the books, right?

Paimon: Yup!

Jean: *sigh* I'm not surprised. Anyway, thanks for your help. The elemental flow is stable. The aftermath for Stormterror's last attack is finally settled for thr moment. However, the pressure from the delegation has become too big to be ignored.

Paimon: Delegation? From Liyue Harbor or Inazuma City?

Jean: Snezhnaya. They choose to follow the God of Cryo. Their envoys go by a particular name: The Fatui. Heard of them?

Y/n: Never saw any fat boi before.

Paimon: Paimon's heard of them. They are super famous-wait infamous is more the word...

Jean: I don't think killing Stormterror is the right course of action. The Cryo God's Fatui have coveted the Anemo God's power. I don't think they have Mondstat's best interest at heart.

Y/n: Speaking of power (Vergil wants to know your location)

Jean: Hm, what is it, Y/n?

Y/n: It's best if we don't talk in the open like that, wouldn't want any eavesdroppers.

Paimon: Indeed, we wouldn't want two people hiding behind that building over there!

Jean: Quite responsible of you, Y/n. Very well, let us head back to headquarters.

She takes the lead and starts heading towards the Knights of Favonius headquarters, as you and Paimon look to each other and nod knowing that she didn't suspect a thing of your little eavesdropping. And follow behind.

Jean: Mondstat and Snezhnaya are considered the same in status.

Y/n: How so?

Jean: Mondstat is independent and does not belong to any other nation. In fact besides being referred to as a city, Mondstat is a nation. Though Snezhnaya's Fatui are known to be the most aggressive diplomats in Teyvat.

Paimon: Makes sense given the tone of that woman just now, how rude...

Jean: Oh you heard her, I didn't see you two though.

Y/n: Random bullshit GO! Well you were looking the other way, and were quite busy with her.

Jean: Makes sense.

While the Saber of Teyvat was looking ahead. You gave Paimon an "You had one job" look, you could hear her whisper out an apology.

Timeskip to Jean's office

Right now Lisa has joined the three as they were looking at the red crystal Y/n and Paimon found in their first encounter with Stromterror.

Jean: It's some kind of crystal embedded with some kind of power... Lisa, are you able to analyze it?

Lisa: Let me take a look... Hmm, I can see impurities in the crystal, but upon further inspection....

The purple librarian sighs before turning to Jean.

Lisa: No, I'm sorry. I can't make proper analysis at the moment. Give me some time, I'll have a look through the library's restricted section.

Jean: Right, I'll leave the research for you then, Lisa.

Lisa: Understood, I'll notify you all if I make any progress. Though I would go getting your hoped up. There are incredibly ancient texts, not to menti-Ouch!

The reason if that "ouch" was because Lisa tried to touch the crystal.

Lisa: Gosh that hurts! The impurities in the crystal... It hurts when I get close... Oh, I see. It appears to react to Visions. The impurities and the elemental energy we embody repel each other.

Jean: It's strange though, Y/n has elemental energy as well, but doesn't seem to be affected in the same way.

Y/n: Well, honey. I don't have a Vision. Other tan that I have no idea.

Lisa: How bold, calling the Acting Grand Master "honey". Huh, cutie?

Jean: U-uh...

Lisa: *giggles* Anyway, the crystal would be best left in the hands of my cutie. It would be a pain if left with us--both metaphorically and literally.

Paimon: Excuse me "my cutie"!? Y/n is not an object you know?

Lisa: Ooh, what's this? The Knight in shining armor coming to defend her prince. That's not how the stories usually go, but it is a nice change of pace.

Y/n: Go to horny jail.

Jean: ... Fascinating.

Paimon: What? The whole "cutie" ordeal?

Y/n: Oh my God. The harem is coming, I need to pack my stuff and run, just like my dad.

Jean: Ahem, do you know anything about what makes you special?

Y/n: Being the only person in this fanfic to break the 4th wall?

Jean: What?

Y/n: Nothing.

Jean: I do not know what to make of it either. Well then, Y/n... The Knights of Favonius have another favor to ask of you. Please accept the title of Honorary Knight, and the gratitude of the Acting Grand Master.

Y/n: Me and honorary don't match, but this does sound useful. It could help me.

Paimon: Honorary Knight... Of Favonius!?

Y/n: Why tho?

Jean: We ask for your continued assistance in finding some answers. Stormterror's rage... And strange crystals... I know Mondstat's peace hangs in the balance. May the wind open your eyes to the truth.

Y/n: Please tell it to open them when I actually have to wake up as well.

Jean: *chuckles* I trust that you are responsible enough to do it yourself.

Y/n: No... No, I'm not. Never been actually.

Lisa: Oh, and before I forget. Here's the gliding manual, sweetie.

Jean: We'll meet back here if you find anything.

Y/n: Understandable, have a nice day.

With that Y/n and Paimon left the headquarters.

Lisa: Well, what do you think?

Jean: I don't know, but Y/n is full of surprises.

Lisa: *giggles* Indeed, he is quite bold as well when he wants to be. I heard that he made some moves on Amber, guess I have to step up the game.

Jean: Lisa, he looks underage...

Suddenly a wall breaks in Jean's office. From it emerges a bear standing on two legs with a very nice top hat, and a cane in hand.

Bear: HELLO, MY BABY! HELLO, MY DARLING! HELLO, MY RANG-TIME PAAAAL!

Take 2

Jean: Wait. How old is Y/n?

Lisa: I dunno... Never asked him. What? Don't tell me you have the hots for him already. Asking to see if he's legal?

Jean: *sigh* Wait... Where is my Legend of Vanessa book!?

Lisa: I don't know, maybe it fell from your desk...

Back to our chef and food.
Y/N thinks to himself while his floating marshmallow talks to him.

(Now, you might be wondering. Is Saber Dandelion thighs in the harem? Well to answer that, is I don't fucking know.what am I even doing? Do you want her to be? Or do you ship her with Diluc? Does she have enough screen time? AAAH)

Paimon: There's something you didn't tell them. What about the green bard?

Y/n: You see, Paimon. Sometimes you don't have to tell people everything you know. I'd like to do my own investigation.

Paimon: Ooooh, we are becoming detectives now? Paimon is super excited! Oh look, Y/n. That guy down there looks just like him!

Y/n: Wait what!?

You run to the railing hastily and look, and it is the same bard you saw. He was running past the fountain and down the stairs.

Y/n: Paimon, the plot is with us. That's the same guy!

Jumping off the railing you sprint towards where the bard went as Paimon follows.

Y/n: Aaand he just disappeared. Good grief...

Paimon: Elemental sight, Y/n!

And Y/n used the elemental sight seeing bluish green footsteps with some sort of Anemo energy from it.

Y/n: This dragon lover has Anemo.

Sprinting and following the footprints near the location of the statue of the Anemo God, but the tracks stopped near the set of stairs at the wall.

Paimon: Did he climb and not use the stairs? Y/n, are you sure that's not you?

Y/n: Very funny.

Climbing up the wall like a totally normal person, you reach the top, and see his footsteps lead towards a set of stairs.

Y/n: Oh, NOW he decides to use stairs.

Running up the set of stairs you look to your left and there he was in front if him were a couple of citezens.

Venti 'Makes you question your sexuality'

(As you can see, it's not in the same style as the ones I used. Because of Wattpad not letting me upload it)

Paimon: There he is!... Performing for these people.... What?

Y/n: Ah, scew it. Let's see what he does.

He was playing the menu theme of Genshin Impact before this video shows up.

After the story finished, Y/N was looking between the bard and the statue he was in front, more particularly the face.

Y/n: *whispers* Hey, Pai. Is it just me or does this trap looking guy looks the same as the statue.

Paimon: Huh?

Paimon did the same as she looked at him then at the statue, then at Y/n. Then again... And again.. And again.

Paimon: *whispers* holy moly! They do look alike! Could he be...

Y/n: *whispers* Probably... Maybe that's the reason on how he knows so much about the dragon and how he was able to communicate with it.

Paimon: *whispers* But... Why didn't the citezens notice? Isn't he who they worship after all?

Y/n: *whispers* You see, my dearest Paimon. They have the stupid.

The crowd began leaving as the bard was quite shocked to see you.

Barbatos?: Wait, you guys are...Oh that's right! You're the one who scared Dvalin away.

Y/n: And you look like a Fem-boy. Do you possibly know Aether by any chance?

Barbatos?: Uhh... Who?

Paimon: Dvalin? Who's that?

Y/n: Mr. Blue eyes blue dragon.

Paimon: Oh, right... Most people seem to have call him "Stormterror". *turns to the bard* Why do you call him that... Are you two meant to be close or something?

Barbatos?: Oh, so close...

Y/n: ... Beastiality, huh?

Paimon turns towards Y/n and whispers.

Paimon: *whispers* Heyyy, Y/n. Paimon thinks this guy has a scarew loose...

Y/n: *whispers* You'll get used to it... *outloud* So, and who are you, Mr. Green?

Venti: I'm Venti the bard. Three-time winner of the "Most Popular Bard of Mondstat" to be precise. So what do you need from me?

Paimon: I'm Paimon and this is Y/n. Given that you recognize us, Paimon doesn't believe that we need to explain any further. Of course, it's about Stormterror!

Venti: Storm...?

Y/n: Oh, great. His brain melted.

Paimon: Cut it with the amnesia act! Y/n, show it to him.

Y/n: That's gonna be taken out of context. I can hear the rule 34 artist scribbling.

You pull out the crystal from your bag, but a surprise awaited you as the crystal was no longer red. It now had the same color as the Anemo energy.

Venti: Isn't this-

Paimon: What!? The crystal has been purified! When!?

Y/n: Oh God, the MC power is strong in this one.

Venti: Dvalin he... The anguish he feels ha bright him to tears...

Paimon: Tears?

Venti pulls out another tear drop crystal, but that one was red, full of impurities.

Venti: He was once such a gentle child. Now so full of rage and suffering. I also came across a tear drop crystal. Can you purify it?

Y/n: Listen, Green. I dont know what in the world I did. Good God this is like my first time getting isekaid.

Venti: Just take and, then we'll see what happens.

You take the crimson crystal from him as it floats in your hand, it starts to shine and flies a little bit higher, it pulls a Michael Jackson and changes color. Now it looked the same as your tear drop crystal.

Y/n: Okay this is a load of bullshit! Why didn't this happen when I took the crystal from that rock? And where is this impurities going? Inside me? Are we gonna get an evil Y/n arc? What the fuck!?

Paimon: Ehh!?

Venti: You really have wonderful abilities...

Y/n: Did any of you hear what I just said!?

Venti: Someone like you is gonna end up getting written into a bard's poem. Oh, a hero so bright, shall he stand in the light. Though stand in the shade, and you'll be met by a blade.

Y/n: I will strangle you...

Venti: Alas... I've really not the time to compose a meldoy for you at this moment. Anyway, even if Dvalin is not taken down, his life will still wither away in the breeze... He'll burn himself in the flames of anger...

Y/n: How does Aether and Lumine have so much patience with these type of stuff? Probably because they've been doing this whole thing way before me...

Venti: I really must thank you for purifying the tear drop crystal, it has helped me greatly. But I've already come to devise my own plan.

Paimkn: Oh, and what would that plan be?

Venti: Seeing this year has brought to mind a friend so dear.

Paimon: Friend?

Y/n: Probably Dvalin.

Venti: Heheh, one must be going.

Y/n: Where are you running off to, trap?

Venti: To the "Symbol of Mondstat's Hero" Bye-bye!

After that he just runs off to the main entrance of the city. Leaving the two.

Paimon: Hm, what do you think, Y/n?

Y/n: This weirdo, we need to keep an eye out for him.

Paimon: As far as he's concerned, you're a weirdo too ya know?

Y/n: I'm throwing you back to the ocean.

Paimon: Oh, come on!

Y/n: *chuckles* But he did sound familiar...

Paimon: I don't know... You're alone on that one. But "Symbol of Mondstat's Hero", what could that be?

Y/n: Sooo... I may or may have not "borrowed" a book from Jean's office...

Paimon: You stole it didn't you...?

Y/n: What? Me steal? Pfff- I would never.... Yes, I did. But that doesn't matter, I'll return it later... Legend of Vanessa the hero of Mondstat, there has to be a place where she went to that is now called the Symbol of something...

Paimon: Oh, Paimon knows that book! And the Symbol is that HUUUGE tree in Windrise! You can't miss it, let's go!

KINGU CRIMSON

It was honestly quite east to find him with this big ass tree that is next to one of the Statues of the Seven for Barbatos.

Venti: Oh, what're you doing here? Though I was wondering if you would happen to follow me.

Y/n: So, could you tell me about the God of Anemo?

Venti: He already disappeared from Mondstat a long time ago. Liyue and Inazuma respective gods of Geo and Electro are still present, but Mondstat has seen many moon since they last saw their own god. Why do you wish to know about the God of Anemo? Is it because of Dvalin?

Paimon: Oh its because yo-

Y/n: Yes, someone told me about his past.

Paimon looks at you quizzingly, but you just give her a look and turn back to the green bard.

Venti: Just how is it that everyone sees Stormy error? I'm quite curious. That said, there is no need to rush. I have not been back in a while, it seems like there are a few who are not happy with my arrival.

He looks behind you as there is some Anemo orb flying with layers on it. It was eye of the storm.

'IT'S BEYBLADE'

Paimon: *whispers* That wind... I can't open my eyes... What is a creature like that doing around here? Is it here for the green guy.... Y/n, his relationship with the wind is stronger than yours.

Venti summons his bow and aims at the floating orb.

Venti: Could you help me out with it? Just a warning, it's immune to Anemo powers, so you have to fight it

Y/n:

Venti releases a normal arrow at the eye as it goes down, gets the layers on its self and fucking beyblades it way to him.

The two of you dodge in your seperate ways as the orb hits the tree, which gave you the chance to hit it multiple times, before it gets up. And now you're it's target.

You start running away from it while Venti is shooting it from on top of the statue. Until it decides to fall on you, you got out of the way, but some dirt got on your face from the impact of its drop.

Y/n: This thing is annoying. Damn Bully Maguire wanna be...

Venti: I don't k ow who that it, but he does sound interesting.

Wiping the dirt from your face and making sure it does not get into your eyes, you charge at it slashing with the support of arrows.

It starts flying and the layers get off from it as it looks like it is roaring, and now you are jailed by some sort of Anemo power, about 8 meters radius.

Venti: Careful now! The Eye of the Storm is getting quite mad, I can't hit it from here otherwise the arrows will just bounce off, and don't thing if trying to touch the Anemo powers, it will knock you back!

Venti says in a hurry as he goes up to the gigantic tree and climbs it.

Y/n: I can do this all day.

You couldn't really do anything but dodge and run as it tries to hit you, after a few seconds it gets hit with an arrow as now Venti is on the huge tree branch readying three non-charged arrows to shoot it, and boom he releases them hitting bulls-eye.

Due to him shooting the floating Anemo eye, the jail is no more and it falls on the ground weakened, Y/N didn't waste a second before rushing to it and SLASH.

Y/n: Well boys we did it, eye of the storm is no more.

Venti jumps off from the tree and activates his wind glider to land safely next to you.

Venti: Seems the dragon wasn't the only thing getting affected by the change of this wind... Now then, you said someone had told you about the dragon?

Y/n: Yup. Scene break!

A few moments later

Venti: Is that so? Quite the scholar I must say, that Lisa. She's not wrong. The conflict has reached this point, only because both sides resorted to the use of force. His hate, however, did not arise from the people not making tributes for the Four Winds. Nor was is born from his own nature, but instead came about as a product of his degradation.

Paimon: Degra...dation?

Venti: The black blood flowing though his blood has been turturing him for years. That's what has led to him to be led astray by the lies of the Abyss Mage.

Y/n: And who are these mages?

Venti: They are from the Abyss Order,an organization comprised by non-human beings. They despise mankind. I don't know where they come from, all I know is that they hold deep hatred towards the human world. Many hilichurls from the wild take orders from them, and act as their weapons. Before arriving here, I too was like Dvalin, cursed and left to waste. But now, before us stands the Symbol of Mondstat's Hero, the place from which Mondstat rose. The ind among the branched is good, I love the way it smells...

(Holy shit, he is still talking)

Venti: Being with you here beneath this great tree feels like when the tear was purified earlier. Like poison is leaving my body.... Mmmmm... feels much better.

Y/n: The fuck?

Paimon: So, how exactly did you get poisoned?

Venti: Ahh... That would be because I tried to communicate with Dvalin, by was... Interrupted. As a result, not only did I not manage to help Dvalin, but was infected myself!

Y/n and Paimon: *whistles innocently*

Venti: ... Don't even try to deny it.

Y/n: What are you talking about?

Paimon: We would never do such a thing! In fact who are you?

Venti: Seriously...? Say all you want, Y/n. To make up for it you're coming with me to the Cathedral.

Y/n: I'm not confessing my sins to papa popo.

Venti: *chuckles* No, not that. We're going there to claim a certain "Holy Lyre der Himmel". The sooner the better, let's move.

The bard starts walking ahead of you, while you and Paimon follow not too far behind. Paimon whispers to you.

Paimon: *whisper* Hey, Y/n. Do you reckon that "Holy Lyre der Himmel" is the same as the one he used in the story?

Y/n: *whisper* Probobly the case. The only question is... How is he gonna take it?

Paimon: *whisper* Guess we'll see
But... Why are we not telling him that we know he is Barbatos?

Y/n: *whisper* Now listen carefully, Pai-Pai. We can't go around saying "we know you're the God of Anemo", maybe he'll try to kill us or delete our memories. Can't take that chance... At least yet.

Paimon: *whisper* But if he's that powerful... Can't he take the lyre by himself?

Y/n: *whispers* I don't know... Maybe he is not as strong, we'll just wait until he reveals himself, but like you said... Guess we'll see.

Paimon: *whisper* Oooh, so we're playing the safe game. Paimon well act clueless then!

Y/n: *whisper* Good job, Pai. Better safe than sorry.

Timeskip to the Cathedral

Standing in front of the Cathedral were our main cast of this chapter. And somehow there was no guard... Don't ask, I honestly don't know.

Paimon: So this... "Holy Lyre der Himmel" is...

Venti: One of the most treasured items in Mondstat, it's the lure that Barbatos used to play.

Y/n: That confirms my theory. I'M A MOTHERFUCKING GENIUS!

Venti: With it perhaps I can help Dvalin draw his gentle nature back out of this nightmare he's going through.

Paimon: Well it really stop Stormterror from causing more damage.

Venti: Of course! I'm the best bard in the world. There is not a single song I don't know, no matter if it's from past, present or future.

Y/n: And how do you plan on taking the lyre, Mr."Best bard in the world"?

Venti: Just look me in the eyes, do you not find me trust worthy?

Y/n: All I can see is that someone who has been doing drugs... Lots and lots of drugs.

Venti: How rude, judging people by appearance.

Y/n: Do you want me to continue? I have more.

Venti: No thanks. But to answer your first question, it's said that it's enshrined deep withing the Cathedral somewhere safe. I'll go take a look around, you can come if you want.

Y/n: Ight bye.

Venti: Just joking, you're coming with.

Our main characters enter the Cathedral and go all the way to the front, the same place where you got your gliding license. All of you see a Nun there as Venti turns towards you.

Venti: Let me handle this.

He walks up to the nun, like how you walk to your mom confidently telling her that you shat your pants.

Y/n: *whispers* He is gonna fail.

Paimon: *whisper* Totally.

Venti: Hello there, Sister.

Y/n: Okay then, James Charles.

Nun: May the Anemo God bless you, young bard. How can I help you?

Venti: Actually, I know a secret that can save Mondstat from its current predicament.

Nun: Oh, what a blessing from the God of Anemo!

Paimon: Literally.

Nun: But you should report that to the Knights of Favonius. Why have you come to me?

Venti: Hahaha, because you, dear sister, are able to help!

Y/n: Just tell me your credit card number, the three digits on the back, AND the expiration date.

Venti: ID like to borrow... The Holy Lyre. With it, I'll be able to help Stormterror-

Nun: Please see yourselves out.

Paimon: There it is...

Venti looks taken aback as he responds shocked.

Venti: What?

Nun: It's a vicious dragon indeed, but once the Acting Grand Master makes up her mind, nothing can stand in the Knights' way.

Venti: That's simply not acceptable! Wouldn't Stormterror end up getting killed that way?

Nun: That foolish beast betrayed the winds. Not even the God of Anemo themselves would forgive it!

Venti: Ugh... Please, I beg of you!

Nun: I'm afraid not, little bard. Strange, somehow I feel so bad rejecting this sweet child...

Venti: Then... I'm guess I'm left with no other choice. I cannot hide anymore!

Paimon: *whisper* Is he gonna...?

Venti: My disciples, rejoice! Behold, the God of Anemo, Barbatos has descended! Shocked, aren't you? Don't you want to cry out and rejoice? How does it feel to finally meet the god you've been serving?

Nun: If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to handle the Cathedral's paperwork now.

She walks off, leaving the desperate god.

Venti: W-wait-

He lumps and looks down in defeat and sadness. Y/n and Paimon head towards him.

Venti: Eh? she didn't even bat an eyelid. 

Y/n: Heh, puny god.

Venti: Wait! You don't sound surprised.

Paimon: Well, that's because we already knew that, "Barbatos"...

Venti: But how-

Y/n: The statue has the same face as yours.

Venti: Oh... And here the travelers know me better than the people who worship me... I don't know how to feel about this... *sigh* No use crying over that. But, I have at least learned what I wanted to know. She didn't deny that the Cathedral is enshrining the Holy Lyre. Now, Y/n, since your the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius... Maybe you can give it a shot.

Y/n: Ah, screw it. Come on, Pai.

You and Paimon approach the nun MENACIN- okay, I'll stop.

Nun: Barbatos bless you.

Y/n: Good day to you, Sister. I'm the Honorary Knight of Favonius, Y/n.

Nun: I know you, you and Amber saved Mondstat that day! If I remember correctly, you came here to receive your gliding license from here.

Y/n: Oh, It seems like I left quite the impression, Sister. It's fine, anyone would have done it if they had the power. Kill me.

Paimon: Y/n being formal... This does not suit him. Besides I've known him long enough to see that he wants to smash his head against the wall for this.

Nun: But still what you did was very brave, we are in your debt. So what brings you here? Tasks from the Acting Grand Master?

Y/n: Indeed, dear sister. The Knights of Favonius would like to borrow the Holy Lyre, the Acting Grand Master believes that it would be very helpful.

Nun: Is that so? Not that I don't trust you. It's just that a suspicious bard came looking to borrow the Holy Lyre as well. He's full of nonsense and even called himself Barbatos. He must be up to something.

Y/n: Thank you for the information, but rest at ease. Some people have heard rumors about the Knights of Favonius getting the Holy Lyre, my best guess is that the bard just wanted to help us. But going as far as calling himself Barbatos? He must be just a kid, we all had weird fantasies like that. Wanting to be the hero.

Nun: Oh... I never heard of them. And you are probably. But there are regulation for the use of the Holy Lyre. Currently, it is only used in Ludi Harpaston. Signed documents from the Grand Master, Sensechal, and Community Representative are all required. So may I see the documents from the Knights of Favonius?

Y/n: Ah, shit. guess we won't get it, but if I say I don't have it after telling her these... It's gonna be super suspicious. Time to use one of my best skills... RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!

Y/n: Oh, of course. Paimon, please give her the documents.

Paimon: What? I... Uhhh...

Y/n just secretly winked at her, and she seemed to get the message.

Paimon: Oh, I'm sorry, Honorary Knight. But Paimon forgot to bring it after lunch... Speaking of lunch, we still haven't eaten. We were supposed go to Good Hunter! But of course, we get dragged into something.

Nun: I'm sorry, but a signed document is required. Without it there is nothing I can do.

Y/n: I know. We'll come back, after we find it. Could have gone smoother, but I think this is the best outcome.

Nun: Excuse me, I mist go back to work. I really am quite busy as of late.

You walk off, as the nun returns to her duties and see Venti sitting on one of the Cathedral's seats with a newspaper hiding his face. He notices you and pulls out another newspaper and so began the three of you whispering to each other.

Venti: Psst, have one. And take a seat, so how did it go?

Y/n: It didn't work.

Venti: *sigh* I knew it...

Paimon: You "knew it"?

Venti: I just wanted to know how influential, Y/N the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius is. You see the best warrior should be presented with the best sword,and yet here we are... Does the story not make for a fitting ballad?

Paimon: *whisper shouting* So what are you trying to say? That we are not good enough!?

Venti: No, that's not it. More of a commentary regarding Mondstat's inability to see the warrior standing right before its very eyes.

Y/n: Eh, people are dumb. Some people fight for toilet papers, like it's a the damn apocalypse.

Venti:  Very well, looks like borrowing is not going to be possible. We're simply going to have to steal it.

Paimon: Y/n, regarding my last comment on how is he like you. I take it back he is definitely like you.

Venti: Will he simply knows what's up. Today, we stand for free will! Any suggestions on how to steal it?

Y/n: I don't know... Sneaking in at night?

Venti: I like you're thinking! The guards here seem off duty at night. But seriously, you are more suitable for the job than I. Aside from singing and using a bow I don't really have any other talent. Besides if I was cought, I'd have no-one to right the grave of injustice of my arrest.

Paimon: How can it be "grave injustice" if you got cought stealing red-handed?

Venti: But things are different for Y/n. You are the superstar of the Knights of Favonius. You have made contributions to Mondstat. Should you get cought, you'd easily talk you're way out. Just like you did with the nun.

Y/n: Flatter me all you want. You are still becoming part of the plan, maybe you could provide distraction while I go solid snake.

Venti: I'll keep watch outside, this is the best I can do to not get cought. If we manage to seize this opportunity, it should be smooth sailing from here.

Paimon: Stop mentioning us getting caught!

Venti: So what do you think, Y/n?

Y/n: I'll do it, but after that. I need your help with something different, Anemo Boi.

Venti: And what's that?

Y/n: I'll tell you as we wait for night time, it's almost sunset. Come on, let's go to Good Hunter. I'm starving.

Paimon: Finally food!

Venti: Ah, okay.

           Timeskip to night time

Venti: So, you're not from this world and you have been separated from your friends.

Y/n: Percisly. And since your the oh-so-great Barbatos, I was wondering if you could help me find them.

Venti: I'll see what I can do. For now, let's not waste time. You go ahead, and do your thing.

Y/n: Got it.

You enter the Cathedral wearing a cloak, and there was no one to be seen, you slowly go down the set if stairs into the basement.

Y/n: I hope it's the same blind ass guards that guarded the artifact, then I'm good.

You crouch and lean on the railings peeking only a little to find an opportunity to make your moves.

The guard turns and that's your cue, you move onto the desks making sure to look around you for any other Knights.

You watch where you put your foots and move as silent as a cat sneaking on its prey.

(like the damn cat that took one of my little chicks when I was like 4-5 right in front of my eyes... I still remember it)

2 guards have been left behind, and you slowly move forward, but you see a guard walking your direction so you immediately go to the nearest hiding place, which was a set of stairs that lead a little bit up. Luckily there were no guards up there.

You peek a little, and the guard was next to the stairs, going down was a no-go, so you get on the railings and go land as silent as possible.

Y/n: Heh, this gives me memories.

You continue going forward, up a small set of stairs. You spot three guards. One right, one middle, one left. Luckily the plot loves you and there are quite the amount of desks and pillars in there that you could hide behind.

You waste no time as the one on the right looked away, going forward and hiding. You look to your left and there was a guard, if he looked to his left, you'd be spotted.

You took a risk and went straight to a Pillar that is up to the left. The guard on the right ALMOST spots you, as you were able to become a pillar man.

Y/n: Yup, they are blind. It's been a while since I snuck into these sort of things... Damn, I'm rusty.

You see in front of you the room of the Holy Lure, mission success.

Y/n: They are horrible at this. Seriously... Guarding these places and not the very room or the entrance of the room for theHoly Lyre, no wonder that mop-headed thief was able to steal the artifact.

You enter the room, in order to get the Lyre, but someone beats you to it. It was a woman who wore black and purple, with a mask over her eyes. The same one the Fatui lady used.

Paimon: Huh, who're you!?

Y/n: Fatui.

You waste no time and run towards her, but she just disappeared in thin air.

Paimon: She... Disappeared!

Y/n: Ah, shit.

You hear someone running towards the Holy Lyre room so you got ready, tomato in hand.

Otto: Freez-gah!

SPLASH you threw the tomato on his face, and take Paimon, hide her with you in the cloak, and fucking run for it. Some guards noticed you and yell out for you to stop, but you ignored them and go up the set of stairs of the Cathedral, dropping apples, and tomatoes to slow them down.

You finally get out of the Cathedral noticing Venti is sitting on the railings.

Y/n: V, HAUL ASS!

Venti: Ah, crap! Follow me!

You got rid of the cloak, since you don't want anyone seeing that. And you jump off the railings, following the God of Anemo.

Sprinting, going through alleys finally Venti goes and enters a tavern,holidng the door open for you.

Venti: Come on!

                    In the Tavern

A few seconds before entering the Tavern, a certain red-head ponytail man with a dream is seen talking to the bartender.

Bartender: Master Diluc, this is this week's account.

Diluc: Hmm... The disaster has greatly affected business.

Bartender: Well, let's hope it all ends soon.

The door of the tavern opens. From it comes Mr. Jackass, flying sassy, and XxTrapBoi69xX

Venti: Hi, we'd like a seat at your ahh... Least conspicuous table.

Y/n: Wow, very not suspicious...

Venti: Shut up, Y/N.

Diluc: Umm... The second floor has fewer costumers, you'd be less conspicuous up there... But aren't you a bard? Why not sit front and center?

Venti: Hahaha, let's save the paid performance for a next time. We'll be heading up now, see you in a bit!

The green bard drags you two to the second floor, while the owner of the tavern has a suspicious look on his face, he tells his bartender.

Diluc: Keep an eye on them. There is something strange about that bard. I'll go ask around.

Bartender: Ask who exactly?

Diluc: the "protecters" of Mondstat...

He said the quote on quote part with venom in his voice.

The door opens and from it comes two guards, they look to have fallen off some stairs with some tomato remainings on them. They were panting.

Otto: Ah, Master Diluc. Have you seen thieves around?

Diluc: What happened? Why have you mobilized th guards so many guards? And what the hell happened to you?

Miles: *pant* Haven't you heard Master Diluc? Thieves were trying to steal the Holy Lyre!

Diluc: Oh? how odd.

Miles: Isn't it? The Holy Lyre is a treasure that was played by the God of Anemo themselves. Such a precious pice of cultural heritage-

Diluc: Why would one wanna steal something they can't sell off? Would pay better to steal from my cellars...

Otto & Miles: Huh?

Diluc: Sorry, off topic. Believe they headed that way to the left of the tavern.

Miles: Understood, thank you Master Diluc. Damn tomatoes...

Otto: Damn apples...

Diluc: Huh, so that's why you look that way?

Otto: U-uh we better head off now!

And they ran out the door, following the misguided location. After they left Venti goes downstairs and you follow.

Venti: Today, I think I'll have a glass of...

Diluc: You can put down the bottle you stole from behind the counter.

Venti: ... Something cold.

Diluc: Right, I want answers.

Y/n: The Krusty Krab restaurant is actually a trap for crabs.

Diluc: Huh?

Venti: Let me finish my drink first? I'll pay you... Well, with a performance.

Diluc: It's not about money. You seem to be too young to be drinking.

Venti: No need to worry. When I started drinking, you were still-

Y/n: This is cool and all, but who are you?

Venti: He is Master Diluc, the boss of...ah, the owner of this tavern. He is very famous. By the way, his dandelion wine is one of my favorites. Though most of the time I can afford a bottle or two...

Diluc: I just heard about some thieves from the guards. For the record, I like your guts for trying to steal the Holy Lure der Himmel. Even if you are fools... But we often don't get to see people like you.

Paimon: It wasn't us that stole it! The real thief is still out there! It was the Fatui!

Diluc: The Fatui? Huh, this is more complicated than I thought.

Venti: This is the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius, Y/n. Why would someone so aspiring steal Mondstat's sacred treasure.

Diluc: Hotshot?... Oh, so it's you. So you and the bard are close friends?

Y/n: You could say that.

Diluc: Well, despite being a passing traveler, you still offered your help to Mondstat in the time of need.

Y/n: No... No, I did not. I was dragged into this.

Diluc: Oh, really? Hm, a shame you joined the Knights. The Knights of Favonius... Inefficient right from beginning to end. And towards the Fatui? Weak and conservative. Forget it, I don't feel like talking about it.

Venti: Seems like you don't like the Knights of Favonius.

Diluc: Just differences in approaches is all. I have my own hopes for the city.

Y/n: Well, they do need some eye tests, holy crap they are blind.

Diluc: That's the Knights of Favonius for you. Now answers, why did you try to steal the Holy Lyre?

Venti: You sure you wanna know? It could get you inflicted in the affairs of the Knights of Favonius.

Diluc: That's  fine. I always seem to somehow get implicated in their affairs.

Venti: If I tell you the story with a performance, will you believe me?

Diluc: It depends. I'll make my own judgement.

Venti: Then will I get paid?

Diluc: Your reward will range anywhere between five mora and the Holy Lyre. It all depends on your story.

Venti: Very well, let me put on a show...

(I could not find a video for his performance, so I put the walkthrough I write from here, it's from 44:07-44:18, in sorry if there are shorter)

Diluc: What did I just witness...?

Y/n: I don't know, the camera was looking at that deer head on the wall.

Diluc: This is confidential information. Why did you let me know?

Venti: Why? Hmm... Perhaps the winds are changing. What say you, Master Diluc?

Diluc: Interesting. Give me some time, I'll organize some contacts. Outlander, as one of the Knights you don't seem to be a suspect. They didn't seem to catch a glimpse of you in the wanted poster. So you're safe.

Y/n: Yeah, because this glowing stone on my belt, is definitely not noticeable,nor is Paimon. Seriously, I could swear this Otto guy saw Paimon.

Diluc: ... Hm, quite ready to insult the Knight's eyesight aren't you?

Y/n: Can you blame me though? Besides, it's coming from you, Mr. I hate the Knights so I'll tell the whole world that I hate them.

Diluc: Heh, touché. As for the bard however, it'd be better if you stay in the tavern.

Venti: Haha. No problem! I like taverns.

Paimon: He is definitely gonna try to steal something again...

Diluc: ... Okay. Let's meet here in an hour after the tavern closes.

Paimon: Soo... Dinner?

Y/n: Yes.

                    Timeskippu      

Its been an hour, and the two of you had quite the meal, you were walking back to the tavern.

Paimon: Ahhh, that was delicious!       

Y/n: Not as good as mine, but it is... Acceptable. Huh?

Reaching the tavern, you look to see a poster right next to the door. It was missing people poster it reads "Two missing people, both twins male and female with blonde hair and wear exotic clothing, if found please report to Outrider Amber".

Y/n: Heh, she wrote it as if they are objects... *chuckles*

Paimon: Don't be sad, Y/n! We will find them!

Y/n: I know... I know... God this is too dramatic, let's enter already.

You open the door and are quite surprised to see who the contact was.

Paimon: Jean!?

Jean: Y/n, Paimon?

Y/n: Woo, plot twist!

---------------------------------------------------------

Ight, I'm tired. I don't wanna write more now. I already reached 7600+ words and I don't feel like continuing at the moment.

So how was it finally some good fecking food? You dunkeh? Where's the lamb sauce!?

DashingBanana is running away from Gordon Ramsey in fear of getting cooked.

-Legend of Venessa-

Vol. 1
A popular song since the reconstruction of Mondstadt. It tells the story of Vennessa, the founder of the Knights of Favonius, in her early years as a slave in Mondstadt.

Friends of Mondstadt, let us revel! Drink to your hearts' content!
To freedom! To the Anemo Archon!
To Vennessa, the first Knight to grace this world!
Sons and daughters of Mondstadt, may the gift from the Anemo Archon be engraved in your hearts!
And let it be known that this gift is not freedom, but just defiance!

It transpired in ages past.
Friends, do excuse me for improvising,
For it should be clear as day, that the glory and freedom of Mondstadt
Were born when Barbatos struck the strings dolce.
Poems sing of heroic fame,
Yet to commemorate unnamed freedom should they aim.

Chained by royals, Mondstadt could barely suspire,
And festivities were but vanity games of the rich,
Beyond the grasp of the ordinary people.
A withering dungeon, Mondstadt was.
In slavery games the royal gaily relished,
Oblivious to their place, the inmates were.

A fiery-headed dame confined to a cell,
From the southern plains she did hail.
Born free but now bound by chains,
Though restrained by a tyrant her flesh remained.
Still her pious soul never ceased to pray,
For her people, for Mondstadt, for illusive freedom if she may.

---------------

Vol. 2
A popular song since the reconstruction of Mondstadt. It tells the story of Vennessa, the founder of the Knights of Favonius, in her early years when she met Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, as well as how she defeated the drake and overthrew the Aristocrats.

Friends of Mondstadt, let us revel! Drink to your hearts' content!
The day came when Barbatos answered her devotion.
The Anemo Archon sought her fiery hair and descended to her position.
"Every being deserves a name," the spirit grinned.
"To weave your fair name into a song I yearn,"
"I seek nothing but your friendship in return."
The girl happily reciprocated, her fears swiftly dissipated.

And so, to the battlefield she marched to Barbatos' singing voice,
The demonic dragon fled from her might and the people did rejoice.
Corpulent aristocrats crawled under tables at such a valiant sight.
"Mondstadt is freedom," the winds sang for their people in delight.
Lonely forest breezes converged, jointly they overthrew the tyrant's tower from the sky.
Broken free from shackles at last, the young lioness stood firm in the winds with her head held high.

And so, the fiery-headed dame won herself prestigious fame.
Her heart swelled with appreciation to sing by the Anemo Archon's side.
But no words of gratitude should she utter, Barbatos replied:
"You first conducted what now transpires in your song."
"You have entrusted me with your friendship and your name."
"To praise your freedom, my songs came."

Friends, let us drink some more!
For thence flows the freedom of Mondstadt.
When days become nights and faces fill with despair,
Never forget the heroic tales of Vennessa, the dame with the flaming hair!
Never cease to pursue freedom, even when the land is bare!
