Time: 8:01 PM
Location: Dawn Winery
Status: Normal

Diluc: the Abyss Order... Enemies of the Human race. Even the underground networks rarely come across any information on them. With that said. It was a bit of a hassle, but I Managed to dig up a few clues.

Venti: Really? That quickly? You really are well connected, Master Diluc.

Paimon: Come to think of it, Mr. Big Anemo God Barbatos- why exactly do you need the help of mere humans?

Venti: ah.. How should I put it... "The Seven" as people now know them, were once known as "The Seven archons." Each Archon presides over their own part of Teyvat. That is the role the Archon plays.

Kayden: It's like each part is owned by landlords huh.

Venti: Only in performing this duty can we attain power, but I don't like the idea of "ruling" Mondstadt - and I don't feel Mondstadt would really like it either.

Kayden: I'm with Venti, Although saying your real name does make me uncomfortable.. I mean your the god of freedom, and i will always worship you (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Venti: Say kayden. How much do you want for my blessing all the time? What is the reason you've been searching for me?

Kayden: Just.. keep it a secret.

Kayden Whispers to Venti once.

Kayden: *Whisper* I don't like saying it in front of others. It's kinda embarrassing.

Kayden Really held his excitement with both fists clenched so hard.

Venti: I see..

Aether: I wonder what Kayden's talking about.

Paimon: Well, it's still a mystery.

Diluc: *Sigh* Let's get back to the topic. The Common enemy of all mankind. We Tracked the Abyss Mage to the vicinity of the winery.

Jean: I cannot stress enough how important it is to not let it escape.

Kayden: Gonna Move dat Gear up!

(Time Skip)

We made our way to the stormterror lair, Slain few hilichurls and 1 Hydro Abyss Mage with ease.

Venti: huh? What's this?

Venti examined a corpse of Abyss Mage

Venti: After the Abyss mage was defeated, a certain energy dispersed from its body.. It seems that the energy was being used to cut off the connection between me and Dvalin. Do you know of Stormterror's Lair?

Kayden: Nope.

Aether: I've Heard people talking about in mondstadt

Venti: Of course. I believe the people of Mondstadt all know of it. After Dvalin woke up, he took the ancient ruins as his lair. As it was with the storms that previously cut mondstadt off from the outside world, entrance to the ruins is also sealed by a special barrier.

Kayden: Oh wow..

Venti: Don't fret, As the energy dispersed from the Abyss mage, I was able to read the rhythmic flow of how the barrier's magic was woven. I Must admit, it sounds even more horrendous than a chorus of hilichurls, but... it should be enough to let us break through the storm barrier and reach Stormterror's Lair.

Diluc: Which means we're going to confront Dvalin? I'm fine with that.. Jean is the one who wishes to avoid any direct confrontation.

Jean: No. when there are no other options left, it is my responsibility to alter our course of action. If slaying him is our only choice, I will gladly become the knight that leads the charge

Venti: Fortunately, we have yet to need to go that far.

Diluc: hmmmm?

Jean: By that, you mean...

Venti: I mean that the holy lyre is not our trump card. Our Real Trump card? The travelers of course!

Kayden: O_O

Kayden Literally hid the UNO Reverse Card on his pocket.

Kayden: I was gonna say it first e.e

Paimon: hey, whats that card your holding?

Kayden: Nothing but a Regular Card, nothing special okay?

Venti: The Impurities in the tears, and the curse that binds Dvalin belong to the same maleficent power. Which means..

Paimon: You Tone-Deaf Bard! Don't you see how crazy this is?! You've seen what Dvalin is like when he's ticked off! Aether and Kayden will be swallowed whole before he even gets to lift a finger!

Aether: This Battle... it's going to take everything everyone's got.

Diluc: Hey... nice plan. Worth a shot.

Kayden: how about i give em one.

Jean: I am with you all, Honorary Knights!

Paimon: Ho~! So we just need to fight monsters from the abyss... and a dragon! No pressure or anything.

Diluc: humans aren't without their strengths. Let's go.

Venti: And so.. The epic actions of brave heroes finally leads to this eleventh hour.

We arrived at the entrance of Stormterror, The Storm Barrier Block our Path

Paimon: It's a Storm barrier! It looks so dangerous..

Venti: Let me at it. Although this wooden lyre is all I have.. I don't need the lyre to break through this kind of storm barri- Ah, wait, what is that?

Multiple hilichurls appear and 1 Mitachurl, approaching right at us.

Jean: Enemy attack! Prepare yourself!

Kayden: You have got to be kidding me...

Kayden Pump the Combat Shotgun Sticky Bombs mode.

Kayden Shoot first with a Sticky Bombs at one samachurl, blowing it into pieces and knocks few hilichurls within the radius of explosions

Venti: That was quick.. Hilichurls usually do not venture into the areas with high elemental concentrations. It puts a heavy Burden on their Bodies.

Diluc: The Abyss Order must be manipulating them behind the scenes, yet they shouldn't have been able to determine that we would come. They're presumably spreading their force to halt our plans.

Venti: Without further ado... I suppose I can play faster if my only audience is the wind.

Venti Played the Lyre and Disable the barrier. A Wind blows in front of us, even Kayden got a twig stuck on his hair.

Paimon: it actually opened! You're not entirely useless, Tone-Deaf Bard!

Jean: This is it. We are now Entering Stormterror's lair. Watch yourselves. Let's move.

We Entered the Zone of Stormterror Lair

We are now standing in front of a broken building surrounded by a barrier.

Paimon: It's Stuck.

Venti Mocks Paimon with the same word.

Venti: It's Stuck.

Kayden: bruh.

Venti: hmm.. I suppose we could make use of that wind current.

Paimon: Let's make a detour then. Heading up!

Venti: Let's make a detour then. Heading up!

Kayden Chuckles and enjoy Venti Bullying Paimon.

Kayden: oh Barbatos.. im so lucky that i Met the God who can help me.. 

Kayden went first to jump on the wind with a wind glider and landed on top of a hole of a broken building.

Venti: Oh, We Can't advance any further. The ruins seem to be guarded by ancient seals.

Paimon: Is this the work of Dvalin?

Venti: No. These ruins were once part of an ancient city. Dvalin just happens to be nesting in these ruins for now. These Ruins even predate the existence of The Four Winds. Mondstadt is a city without a ruler. However. Before it was, it was ruled over by a tyrant. Anyway.. I'll sing you that story when we have a chance in the future.

Diluc: The markings on this seal... if my archaeological knowledge is not mistaken, this appears to be a light actuator. If we retrieve and reintegrate all the parts, we should be able to get it working.

Jean: We should be close to completing the ceremony for this actuator. Let's put the last part back and let's see.

Aether put the Light Actuator into the last part on this statue seal, It glows bright for a second. One Barrier was disabled in this building.

Venti: Looks like we're right. There are three more halos circling the tower...

Jean: Which means, there are three more corresponding light actuators to activate. I can see one from here, The rest must be scattered within the ruins around here. Let's go find them.

Kayden: I Hate Puzzles.. 

(Time Skip)

Paimon: why dvalin pick a place filled with puzzles and seals as his lair? Doesn't he get annoyed coming back home?

Venti: he doesn't walk in, he flies in.

Paimon: *sigh* you do have a point.

Venti: I'm thinking about turning these adventures into songs after we're done...

Aether: Well, we certainly have gone through quite a lot recently.

Venti: Hopefully, this song will be sung for years to come by the people of Mondstadt, just like The Legend of Vennessa.

Jean: I've loved that song since I was small. How are you all feeling today, Outlanders? I am Completely prepared and fully confident that we can do this.

Aether: Rest assured, We're also completely prepared!

Paimon: Even Master Diluc accompanied us to the very end. Despite only being accidentally involved.. bystander.

Diluc: you shared your secret with me, and I only returned your trust to the same extent.

Aether: What about Venti?

Venti: It's "Freedom"

Kayden: Ofc it is.

Venti: When you 2 first arrived at Mondstadt, did no-one tell you that Mondstadt is the city of freedom? Kayden is an Exception though, he knows it much.

Aether: I Think its Amber.

Venti: hahahaha... She really is a child of freedom. Mondstadt is a romantic City, without the reign of king. And it's citizens enjoy the most freedom amongst the seven nations. I Hope the dragon that once protected Mondstadt will soon be free too... No-one should have deceived him by telling that Mondstadt betrayed him. And No-one should have told him that it was his eternal duty to protect the city. He has the right and freedom to choose his own way of life.

Paimon: venti...

Venti: Well then, Travelers, may the thousands of years of wind that have blown through Mondstadt go with you. Just like the last time, I shall channel Anemo Energy for you.

Aether: so it was you all along.

Paimon: Oh! No Wonder Aether and Kayden Said his voice sound familiar.

We Venture to the seals to fight Dvalin.

The battle begins at sky high, Aether Will Deal Dvalin First in the air.  The Reason Dvalin is like this because of 2 Bloodcloths attached on Dvalins Back, in order to save it, destroy 2 Bloodcloths without Killing Dvalin.

10 Minutes Later

Aether: I've done my part, now its your turn Kayden.

The First Blood Cloth was down. Kayden was Waiting at the 6 Pillars by himself.

Venti's Voice: Kayden, can you hear me?

Kayden: I hear ya.

Venti's Voice: Good, I'm watching you from afar, now you can fight him on equal grounds. But First, let me be clear. Even hundreds of years without use, Dvalin's Teeth and claws are still very dangerous.

Kayden: saying that makes me a little bit worried, but ok. I Guess its Up to me Now..

Kayden Is Loading Few Bunch of DOOM Eternal Weapon mods fully prepared.

Dvalin Appeared on Front of Kayden With a Roar.

Kayden: I see you m8

Kayden Switch to Sasha Mobile Sentry mod aiming at Dvalin.

Kayden's FOV - 120

My Crosshair is Duck :v

Dvalin Flies Up and Drive Strike towards Kayden, 1 Dash away from Dvalin's attack and he stay in the air again. Dvalin Flew Closer and grab onto the pillars preparing for Anemo Breath attack, Kayden Focus Fire at Dvalin with Barrage of 2 Bullets per hit. Dvalin got Stunned and land on the pillar next to Kayden.

Venti's Voice: now's your chance Kayden! Aim for the Blood Cloth!

Kayden: Aye Sir!

Kayden Switch weapon to Crocket Launcher Lock-on mode. Shoot 3 Burst Rocket, Combo with Quick scope Heavy Cannon, Ballista normal Shot, 2 Sticky Bombs, 1 Super Shotgun Blast at the BloodCloth.

Dvalin was about to stand up, Kayden Use The Meathook at the Bloodcloth, pulling himself towards it and slam him down with the Sentinel Hammer.

Kayden: Stay Down Son!

With 1 SSG Blast and 1 Crit Crocket, Kayden Finish it off with one Bloodpunch, breaking it into pieces.

Kayden: BOOYA!!!

Dvalin falls down in the depths of Vortex. All Platforms are going to break into pieces.

Kayden: uh oh..

The Pillars started to broke into pieces and Kayden Fell off, Before he activate the jetboots, he was saved by Dvalin, the dragon is now on free state, cut ties from the Abyss Order. Kayden saw the rest of his friends riding Dvalin's back.

Venti: It's been a while since we flew like this together. Huh Dvalin?

Dvalin: Just now.. Why... Why did you not ask me to protect you like the last time?

Venti: me not wanting you to listen to the abyss order doesn't mean that you have to listen to me. Freedom. If demanded of you by an archon. Then there's really no freedom at all.

An Anemo Energy ball appeared on Venti's hand and put it on Dvalin's body.

Dvalin: Is this... the power of the Anemo Archon? But I'm no longer part of the four winds.

Venti: Even so. You Still protected us regardless. Now spread your wings of freedom and go with my blessing!

(Time Skip)

Location: Mondstadt, Windrise

Kayden stand on front of Venti, known as Barbatos, The God of Freedom.

Kayden: So The Stormterror situation has now been solved, right?

Venti: yep, it's all thanks to you travelers. why are yo- Oh, I almost forgot the reason why you are here.

Kayden: *inhale Mp3 and Kneels Dramatically* PLEASE GRANT ME WITH YOUR BLESSING! I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONG IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! PLEASE!! JUST ONE BLESSING!

Venti: Sure ^_^

Kayden: *Dramatic Pog* REALLY?! REALLY?!

Venti: First of all, can you please describe why you would want my blessing in the first place?

Kayden: Actually..  I Never had a great rest since i always surrounded by girls..

Venti: Girls?

Kayden: Ahem, i was given a annoying permanent blessing by the goddess of love from another universe. right now the harem thing has taken away my freedom and i barely rest. -_-

Venti: Whats a Harem?

Kayden: *sigh* its like getting surrounded by more than 1 girls that they love you so much.. and I always having a nightmare woke up with the girls on the same bed complete naked and white stuff left behind p_p 

Kayden was shiver in fear after saying those.

Kayden: it honestly terrifies me.. i prefer your blessing that act as a Repellent that will always work.

Venti: hmm.. Alright, although i can't give it to your body.

Kayden: Its Okay its Okay! A mini-statue of you will do.

Venti: hm.. okay.. 

Kayden shows a Mini-Statue of Venti.

Venti: wai- how did you create this so fast?

Kayden: Just Get on with it.

Note - Kayden use the toolgun to dupe the statue of Venti, resize it and was put in the spawn menu.

Venti Use The Anemo Power, to put the mini-statue. Then Kayden Felt The Freedom power coursing through his vains

How Kayden Feels to Obtain Pure Freedom
