Youri: We need to talk...

Kayden: what?

Youri: I think I have an idea of what is going on and what is about to happen. But I can only say it to you and Sky for reasons that have nothing to do with the meta.

Kayden: what meta?

Youri: Well, I looked around the different temples and carefully analyzed the situation with the available sources and I came to a conclusion that while turn our vision of the world upside down.

Kayden: hmm.. About that... people without visions... Are we Blind?

Youri: Good question... but! According to the recent events since our first meeting and following isekai logic, we are about to end up in a whole bigger ass adventure which means.... We're about to meet or hear of totally NOT shady people that say they're good but they are actually not good because PLOT.

Kayden: I Don't Think Isekai Logic isn't gonna work here because I feel it's completely different from any others I've seen in the manga. And it's better than any others.

Youri: Wanna bet?

Kayden: I'm not much into betting but since it's from another world, a lot of crazy things will happen in the future.. You decide :v

Yopuri: You can't decide when you already jinxed it bro... >_>

Kayden: I'm not jinxing anything -_-

Meanwhile, Aether, Paimon, and Sky are just looking at the two, who were talking about something, but they couldn't hear what it was about.

Paimon: What are they talking about?

Sky: *shrugs* I dunno, personal things...

Paimon: Oh... Why didn't you join them?

Sky: The truth is, I didn't know those two when I first fell into this world.

Aether: Huh, but I saw you with them when we first met you guys.

Sky: I dunno, plot I guess...

Aether: What?

Sky: Forget what I said...

Sky calls out Kayden and Youri to see if they're done with their conversation.

Sky: Hey! Are you two done?

Youri: Ja! You miss the whole exposition!

Sky: Well sorry! I thought you two were talking about something personal!

Youri: We only knew each other for just 2 days! What did you expect?! A bromance?!

Kayden: Is it really the two of you think about me? -_-

Sky: I didn't say anything about bromance!

Youri: Back at the aftermath of our battle with Stormterror yes! Besides, Kayden already has girls after him.

Sky: It's just "teasing" man

Kayden: ugh... now i feel like I'm hungry.. I was supposed to grab some anemoculi for the God of Freedom's Blessing T_T

Youri: We'll do that once we report all that shit to Jeanne, now let's move.

Without asking their opinion, Youri grabbed both Kayden and Sky by the back of their collar and brought them to Knights of Favonius HeadQuarter. As expected, the red drop crystal contained some anomalous properties that the 4 outworlder were seemingly immune to. While they were promoted as honorary knights, the 4 had to leave quickly because Kayden was spooked by Lisa calling him "her Cutie'', even if it also applied to Aether, Youri and Sky.

Kayden Enters Defensive Mode behind Aether's back.

Kayden: Be My Shield...

Aether: huh?

Sky: *whispers to Aether* You'll get used to it. Let's just say... Kayden has problems with women...

Aether: Ohh...

Youri: As long as the dragon didn't bring any foreigner attention we were kinda good. I hope...

Jean: About that...

Youri:

Kayden: about what?

Jean explained the situation with the fatui, an infamous group of followers of the God of Cryo back in Snezhnaya. Because of their beliefs with the Cryo god coveting the Anemo God's power and situation, Jean has the firm belief that their plan of killing Stormterror has a hidden motive due to the previously sacred statue of Storm Terror and the naturally aggressive behavior of the Fatui.

Kayden: You have got to be serious right now -_-, They Noticed it and its already spread far from the world of Teyvat right now huh.. Ugh!

Sky: Welp... in conclusion, we're fucked... What's worse, we're now dealing with an organization of Wolf Warrior diplomats!

Jean: Wolf Warrior diplomats?

Sky: Aggressive diplomacy...

Youri: Ah! See?! I told you we would come to a shady organisation!

Kayden: okay.. I need a drink right now..

Youri: Don't come back too late! *mumble* Plot...

Kayden Went outside the knights of favonius Headquarters alone, till he heard a Lyre Music on top of the city of Mondstadt.

Kayden: hmm? Is this the music of god?

Kayden Floats in the air slowly ascending on the stairs and spotted the same bard when we first met. Judging by what it looks like, it's a guy. Few People standing in front of him, listening to the bard playing the music of the lyre.

The music ended, all the crowds walked away and he spotted me. Because I was literally standing here in the middle of an opening.

Venti: wait, you are.. Oh, that's right! You're the ones that scared Dvalin away.

Kayden: You mean The Dragon?

Venti: Yup.

Kayden: The Dragon that you try to talk to.. Was it your pet or something?

Venti: Nope.

Kayden: I see.. You seem like a good fellow to me. I'm Kayden Freeman

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

Kayden: Not Exactly much but i just end up listening to the lyre that you've been playing on. It was great.

Venti: So you like my music?

Kayden: yep, feels like i have my freedom.

Venti: Freeman, huh? That's a really good name for a fellow mondstadt citizen. ^_^

Kayden: Having this name is also a sign of freedom, and Mostly I Worship the God of Anemo, Known as God Of Freedom, I was supposed to grab some anemoculi to have the Blessing of the Anemo Archon but these 2 kept holding me back. Other Words my friends..

Venti was speechless for a minute

Venti: why do you want the Anemo God's Blessing for a reason?

Kayden: Even if I tell you, you won't understand a thing that i'm saying. If you were the Anemo God, I would Kneel and say the prayers and grant me my freedom! I Won't tell you much of a details, so yeah.

Venti: ooookay.. I'm gonna go somewhere else.

Kayden: Where are you going anyway?

Venti: To the Symbol Of Mondstadt Hero, bye bye!

Meanwhile

Youri: So, Sky... Wanna bet if Kayden makes another unexpected meeting like we all did?

Sky: Yep...

Youri: Bet he's gonna fall on another and try to run away from her, only to bit him in the ass later.

Sky: Another, yep...

Youri: Btw... what do we actually bet? You still owe me money from the dragon bet yesterday ya know?

Sky: Oh, about that... I wasted those for those choccy milks at Good Hunters, ehe...

Youri: Did you already forget I didn't accept those? *red eye glow* I hope you got something better than that my friend.

Sky: Haha, just messing with ya m8. Here's your money...

Sky took out a bag, he gave it to Youri and said it has all the money in it. Little did Youri know that it's not actually money.

Sky: *fast voice* Anyways gotta go, I have somewhere else to be, see-ya guys and gals later!

He made a peace sign and ran out of the headquarters to get as far away as he could from Youri whilst screaming NIGERUNDAYO!

Youri looked at the money in the bag suspiciously. Looking into his stuff he took a "magical" pencil from his pocket. A pencil with a special ink that detects if a banknote is authentic or not. The military boy marked one of the stacks... and the ink became instantly black, meaning it was false money. Sky tricked him...

Youri: *shurge* Well then... *Loads Shotgun with Malicious Intent* Guess it's hunting time then.

Aether: -_-'

Paimon, Jean and Lisa: *confused noises*

Aether and Paimon Left the Knights of Favonius and he Spotted Kayden running towards the gate of Mondstadt.

Aether: what is he doing?

Paimon: probably his own quest to find the anemoculi around Mondstadt. With his combat skill, i think he would be fine facing hilichurls and slime.. Probably?

Aether: but kayden never kills a slime for a reason.

Paimon: oh.. Let's Follow him!

Aether Started Following Behind Kayden on a far distance, however his speed was fast, he couldn't keep up his pace.

Paimon: Man he was really fast for a small body. First of all. Does he ever get tired of running? He still keeps going like it was nothing!

Location: Mondstadt, Windrise

At the huge tree by the Statue of the Seven, Venti was standing in front of it, healing himself up thanks to the tree. He was now done, then looked around until he noticed that someone was running towards him, which was Kayden.

Venti: Oh? What are you doing here, Kayden?

Kayden: What am I doing? I was collecting the anemoculi

Venti: oh. Though I was just wondering if you would happen to follow me..

Kayden: don't think of me as a stalker ya know..

Venti: I don't say such things like that.

Kayden: *sigh* Anyway, since you live in mondstadt, do you know about the Anemo Archon?

Venti: you speak of the God of Anemo Barbatos? He already disappeared from Mondstadt a long time ago. Liyue and Inazuma's perspective gods of Geo and Electro are still present, but mondstadt has seen many a moon since they last saw their own god. Why do you wish to know about the god of anemo? Do you plan to get a blessing?

Kayden: Aside from that.. God's blessing will be my second priority, the first priority was about Dvalin. There a lot of people calling it storm terror. Not only that.. I don't really remember much about the dragon's past.

Venti: Hmm.. Just how is it that everyone sees stormterror? I'm quite curious.I have not been back in a while, it seems there are a few who are unhappy with my arrival.

Kayden: what?

Suddenly a scream was heard, followed by multiple shouting.

Sky: AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Youri: *scorpion voice* GET OVER HERE!!!

Sky: NEVER!

Youri: SHUT UP AND ACCEPT YOUR FATE!!!

Sky: EAT MY DELECTABLE NUTS!

Kayden placed both hands on his waist with a question mark on his head

Kayden: What are you two fools doing out here? -_-

Youri: Oh nothing. *shoot a volley at Sky* I'm just trying to murder the fool who paid me with false money. ^_^

Sky: *dodges the volley* I'm sorry, okay?!?

Youri: Then say it sooner so it would save the trou- Oh hey there... mysterious mister.

Sky stopped running and examined Venti. He realized that it was the person they've encountered before with Stormterror.

Sky: *TF2 Spy voice* Hello again

Venti: oh, it's one of your friends again, Kayden.

Kayden: yep.. Those are my crewmates. Sky Stargazer and Youri Major. I believe you haven't heard their name yet when we first encounter them in the forest.

A Powerful wind was coming on top of us.

Eye of the Storm - Elite Monsters.

Kayden: really. At a time like this..

Kayden Loaded a Pepsi Launcher

Sky: You sure like pepsi a lot, huh?

Kayden: I Drink pepsi for living ^_^

Youri, as usual, started to deploy a couple of dispensers before deploying his turrets and raise some barricades, quickly creating a mini-fortress around Venti and the tronc of the tree

Youri: This is a defense mission. Stand your ground and don't do anything reckless unless necessary.

The Eye of a Storm literally charges at Youri, a powerful vacuum wind sucks him up and drops him on the ground. The eye of the storm did not move for a second till it went back to normal by floating.

Kayden: Jesus Christ, I Don't think a support area with that thing close to you is a good idea..

A Wind acts like a living tornado causing dust particles hitting Kayden's eyes.

Kayden: Agh, This damn dust is on my eyes!

Youri got up from the ground, spitting some dust before looking at the eyes with a pissed expression.

Youri: Want to play it hard? *Deploy minigun* Then let's play it hard.

Without any second thought, the albinos literally rained bullets on the Eye, distracting it while Kayden recovered from the dust at a nearby dispenser.

Youri: I'm going to kill you! And kill you! And kill you!

Sky engaged his power shield and used it to cover themselves up to block the attacks coming from the Eye of the Storm. Then he took out the rocket launcher and aimed it precisely towards the enemy.

Sky: Medic! I need an Ubercharge!

Youri: *css voice* Roger that.

Youri quickly switched his minigun to a medigun, the ubercharge was almost done but it needed a little bit more time due the previous attack.

Youri: Ready in 20 seconds. Keep that thing in bay until I'm ready!

Sky nodded in response. So he increased the power shield's resistance and health by using an electromagnetic battery.

Kayden blasted it with a single Pepsi Projectile using a Pepsi Launcher, after the explosion, the wind surrounded the eye of the storm again and became a Tornado itself heading towards us.

Kayden: uh oh.

Youri: Ubercharge is ready ladies! Who goes first!?

Sky: I'll do it!

Kayden: It should be me, I Got Sasha!

Kayden Brought a Chaingun DOOM Eternal with a Named Sasha, Mobile Sentry mode.

Sky: How about we do it. It may give us a lot of firepower against that eye!

Kayden: I mean you gotta spam healing in each one of us?

Youri: Now it's not the time! Just choose already!

Sky: You know what? You do it Kayden!

Youri: Finally, let's go Komerade!

Kayden Activate The Mobile Sentry Mode.

Kayden: Now Doctor!

Youri immediately obliged and activated the ubercharge turning Kayden into a blue humanoide figure with yellow eyes while Youri turned into a grey humanoide figure with white eyes.

Youri: We are bulletproof!

Kayden: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kayden Shoots alot of Plasma Bullets, they can see Blue Plasma Tracers in the sky, directly at the Eye of the Storm. Stunning it for 10 seconds after receiving a deadly hit. It floats in the air doing nothing. Kayden went next to the eye of the storm doing a flip taunt.

Kayden: In Flipping Position!

Aether went in and went to Kayden's Taunt.

Kayden: up up up!

Aether Jumps in with a support of Kayden's hand boost, finishing it with a Stab.

Kayden:

Kayden: Phew, I guess that's it.

5 Minutes Later

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

Kayden: I Think it was uh.. Lisa.. told us about the dragon...

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 have restored to the use of force. His hate, however, did not arise from the people not making tribute to the four winds. Nor was it born from his own nature, but instead came about as a product of his degradation.

Kayden: The what?

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

Kayden: Ah, you mean 2 purple spiky things attached to him.. But. What are Abyss Mages?

Youri: Seems obvious enough

Venti: They are from the Abyss Order, an organization of 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 out in 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 Mondstadts Hero, the place from which Mondstadt rose. The wind amongst the branches is good, I Love the way it smells. Being here with you beneath this great tree feels like when the tear was purified, like the poison is leaving my body.

Kayden: um.. Am I considered holy dispelling the curse when i'm around? ← his parents are Angels

Venti: Probably, but I can feel it between the two of you.

Kayden: who?

Venti pointed at kayden and Aether.

Kayden: oh..

Venti sits next to the tree.

Vent: hmmm.. Feeling much better.

Paimon: So... how exactly did you get poisoned?

Venti: Ah.. that would be because I Tried to communicate with Dvalin earlier, but was.. Interrupted.. As a result, not only did I not manage to help Dvalin break his curse, but instead, was also infected myself!

Kayden: you what?!

Venti: so partially, I take a Blame for you. So, to make up for it, Kayden, You're coming with me to the Cathedral!

Kayden: But I was Invisible! The One who made a Nokia alarm was him!

Kayden Points at Sky.

Venti: So? -_-

Sky: Sorry Kayden, but he says that you did it...

Kayden: *groan* how did it come to this.. I was supposed to get some anemoculi for Anemo Archon's Blessing T_T, Damn it all.. I Feel Guilty right now..

Sky: We'll get some for you, if you want to...

Kayden: you better be.. *sniff* wait.. What exactly are we doing at the Cathedral?

Venti: To Claim a Certain "Holy Lyre der Himmel"
