Chapter 6 - "Whispers in the Wind"

Kennath, Lumine, and Paimon walked towards Mondstadt, finding some interesting topics to talk about on the way.

"In other words, you decided to travel through the seven nations in order to find your brother?"

Arriving at the Whispering Woods, Lumine slowed down her pace and turned back to look at Kennath.

"Well, I've been separated from him for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing now."

Lumine didn't tell Kennath directly about the matter of them being stopped by the Unknown God, but said that she was separated from her brother for some reason, and now she wants to travel around the seven countries to find her brother.

"I see... I can't really help you much, but I will help you by keeping an eye out for your brother . From your description , he is your twin right? ."

"Yes"

"I will definitely keep an eye out for him" 

"Thank you."

Lumine said softly.

They had just met, and she was very happy that Kennath was willing to help her keep an eye out for news about Aether.

"...Wait a minute."

As they walked, Kennath suddenly stopped and pulled the two of them behind a tree.

"...Hmm?"

Lumine seemed to realize something. She leaned against the tree and looked out.

Her eyes widened. She saw a giant dragon lying on the ground, talking to a green figure.

"...Don't worry, I'm back now, everything will be alright."

( I think this is what Venti said to Dvalin , I am not sure tho)

Lumine's intuition told her that she might have witnessed an incredible scene.

Before she had time to think about it, a wind element suddenly emerged from her body. The energy was huge and the movement was also very loud.

This movement disturbed the dragon and the man who were communicating. After Dvalin roared at the green figure, he flew into the sky and away from here.

"Whose there!"

Venti turned around angrily, looked at the tree where the three people were hiding, frowned, and then turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.

"That was... a dragon? Was that person talking to a dragon?!"

Lumine was shocked. Paimon was pulling her hair tightly. Dvalin had just released a strong airflow that almost blew her away.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, that must be Stormterror the Elemental Wind Dragon, the culprit of the dragon disaster in Mondstadt."

Kennath said seriously.

" Elemental Wind Dragon?"

This new word attracted the attention of Lumine and Paimon , and they looked at Kennath, hoping to get some explanation from him.

"I'm not sure either, after all, I'm just here for a trip."

Kennath spread his hands.

"For quite a bit of time, strong winds often blows in Mondstadt and causes storms, normally its spring all year round but the giant dragon attacked Mondstadt, and the residents of the city calls this dragon Stromterror."

"...There is such a thing."

Lumine seemed to realize something, lowered her head, and shook his hand making sure I was okay.

She thought of the strong winds now and felt relieved seeing that Kennath was okay

Fortunately, he managed to hang on to the tree, otherwise he would have no way to save his life against the wind blown up by the dragon just now, and that would be terrible!

"Then... shall we continue to Mondstadt?"

Paimon asked tentatively, and got affirmative answers from the two.

"Now that we are here, we must go to Mondstadt! " Lumine's mouth twitched, "Even the Stromterror can't stop me from having a feast!"

It seemed like this child has suffered a lot in the wild. (Well technically the traveler is as old as the stars lorewise but bear with me ok?)

Kennath glanced at her and said nothing more.

"Let's go, there's still some distance to Mondstadt."

"Okay!."

Then, after passing through the Whispering Woods and while approaching the Mondstadt Bridge, the three were stopped by a lively girl.

"Wait a minute!"

The girl flipped 360 degrees and landed steadily in front of the three people.

After landing, the girl performed the very standard Favonius Knights etiquette to the three people, and then began to look at the trio with suspicion.

"May the Anemo god protect you, stranger. I am Amber, the Outrider of the Knights of Favonius. You are not residents of Mondstadt, are you? Then, please state your identities."

"Identity?"

Paimon was stunned for a moment, realizing that she and her group were being investigated and ruled as suspicious people, and quickly waved his hand.

"We are not suspicious people!"

"That's what suspicious people all say."

Lumine stepped forward and began to clarify.

"My name is Lumine, and I'm a traveler. This is my friend Paimon."

Kennath took the lead and spoke before Ying

"As for me, I am Stellius, and I am here also to travel Mondstadt. The Knights of Favonius have documents about me."

"Stellius?"

Amber had some impression of this name and nodded thoughtfully.

"Dear guests from afar, welcome to Mondstadt. There are many monsters in the wild and Stromterror has been attacking Mondstadt frequently. But The city is still the safest place and this place is not far from Mondstadt. I will escort you there."

"Hmm... I feel like Amber's previous guard has disappeared all of a sudden." Paimon pinched her chin and thought, "This is a bit strange"

"Because its been hard on Mondstadt recently due to the Fatui and due to stormterror attacks." Amber smiled awkwardly, "I have to investigate strangers when I see them."

"Don't embarrass Miss Amber, Paimon, let's go into the city first."

So, following Amber's footsteps, Kennath ,Lumine and Paimon finally arrived in Mondstadt.

 And as soon as they arrived in Mondstadt, Lumine just looked around casually and found something wrong.

"Why...are the residents of Mondstadt so gloomy? Is it due to the attacks of stormterror?"

"Partly." Amber explained, "Also because everyone's heard that a new Fatui Harbinger was coming to Mondstadt, so everyone is a little nervous."

Kennath: ...

"Fatui"

"Well, that's the army of the Nation of Snezhnaya. They usually have a bad attitude, and so everyone has a bad impression of them."

Amber scratched her head.

"By the way, traveler, I have prepared a gift for you. Although it is not particularly expensive, please accept it."

As she said this, she took out a box from somewhere and handed it to Lumine.

"This is..."

 Lumine opened the box and found wind gliders lying inside.

"These are wind gliders, a prop that can fly with the help of the winds cast across Teyvat by Lord Barbatos."

Amber explained

"It's a pity that I don't have time now, otherwise I could teach you how to use the gliders but I still need to go on patrol, so I'll leave first."

"Oh...thank you!"

After Amber left, Kennath looked at Lumine, then looked at the sky which was slightly darker than before, and asked

"Lumine, do you want to try flying with the gliders?"

""Huh?"

Lumine glanced at Kennath beside her.

"I can teach you how to use it. It's not that difficult after all." Kennath said, "Just get to a higher place."
