y/n's pov:

After a long day of fighting monsters and clearing domains we headed back. As we were headed back to the nights of favonius we saw jean talking with a shady figure. we heard them talking about stormterror, after they finished talking I took some more notes down.

1. the fatui are an organization run by the tsaritsa also known as the cyro archon.

2. it seems they rely on force to take what they want

we discussed the elemental flow and jean decided that we should discuss important matters more privately.

I zoned out again as jean was talking to aether and paimon about the fatui. I was wondering if this dragon is so fierce than where is their archon? why isn't he helping them.... "oi y/n!" I snapped back to reality and saw aether infant of me saying "could we barrow the crystal from you bag please?" 

"hm oh uh right!" 

I stuttered with embarrassment of being in my own world. "paimon thinks you should put you note book down and start paying attention!" I laughed a bit and said "sorry paimon, I was just taking some notes, ehe". Lisa tried to analyze the crystal but didn't make much progress. so we decided to head out. 

but just then, out of the corner of my eyes I saw him "hey its the green person!" aether and paimon turned around "well what are we standing around for after them!" paimon flew as fast as we could while we used elemental sight to track him down.

after about 15 minutes of running we found him putting on a performance so we stopped to watch. he seemed to tell a tale of the dragon and the anemo archon... strange how could he know so much about the dragon... after the performance we approached him 

"hey aunt you two the ones who scared devalin away?"

 "uhhmmm who's davalin?" aether asked. 

"well going by logic it must be the dragon" the green fellow laughed and said "your friend over here is smart, im venti the bard. three time winner of the most popular bard in mondstat to be precise! now what do you need from me?" "well given that you recognize us you should know" said paimon. venti had a confused look on his face. I sighed and said "its about stormterror. we waited again "storm..?" "cut the amnesia act out!" paimon was getting frustrated "aether could you get the tear from my bag please?" "oh sure thing Y/N" aether grabbed the tear but it seemed that, 

"its been purified?! since when?!"

 the three of us said in unison "devalin he... the anguish he feels has brought him to tears.." venti them handed us another crystal and aether purified it. sadly it seemed I had no special abilities. "your talents are truly remarkable you could end up in a bards poem someday, oh a hero so bright my he stand in the light. but stand in the shad and you'll be met by a blade." "anyway even if davalin is not taken down his life will wither away.. and he will burn out in the flames of anger." I wondered how is it that venti knows so much about davalin and why does he feel such a strong connection to him... I once again zoned out and snapped back to reality "he heh one must get going! ill be at the symbol of mondstats hero bye bye~!" with a wink and a smirk he disappeared off running 

"h-hey come back!" aether called out for them. 

"lets go follow the werido he might know something we don't..." 

so we headed off for the symbol of mondstats hero. and discussed a plan to retrieve an item called the holy lire. we put together a plan that aether and paimon would go retrieve it while me and venti would wait outside.

night fell and the bard and I stood outside waiting, I mean this was the perfect time for some integration. 

"so, venti I have a few questions..."

 I asked. the bard seemed to be fixing the string on his lire but he stopped and responded: "well dear y/n, ask away!"

 I grabbed my notebook and asked, "so venti, how is it that everyone calls the dragon stormterror while you call him devalin hmm?" venti seemed a bit shocked but he tried to act cool and said 

"well I just know a but of history of mondstat that's all ehe" 

I looked him dead in the eye and said "mhm, and also you seem to have a strong connection with the dragon and while we were waiting for nightfall I took the liberty of searching the library and trying to see if there was anything about devalin and well there isn't much." I could clearly see the stressed look on him but ill give him A for effort on trying to hide what I know.. "well you see-" I stopped him and pinned him against the wall and said "well YOU see the only person who could have known these stories is someone who WAS there venti, and the only person who could be alive for 2,600 years is none other than an archon or well the ANEMO archon." venti sighed and said "fine you caught me... im surprised" "well im not from here and it seems that everyone here is practically blind to what's going on.." 

there was a pause for a quick second as we realized how close to each other we were 

"oh my y/n if you wanted to do something with me you could have just said so and I would have put down my lyre~" I was so flustered and I backed away "t-thats not the point here! the point is that why can you do anything about this?!" i felt a light bonk on my head as venti jumped up and hit me on the head. "that's what I've been TRYING to do!" "well maybe if you were responsible and weren't some drunk femboy bard you could have prevented this!" there was a moment of silence between us.i felt a bit bad as I said "look im sorry I won't tell anyone you must have your reasons...." venti laughed it off and said "no its fine y/n! just don't tell anyone or ill make sure the wind will carry you somewhere far far away!" I shuddered as he had a innocent smile on his face while the threatened me "jussstttt kidding (maybe)" we both laughed it off, but our chat was interrupted by a voice, 

"guys we gotta run!"

 we turned around only to see guards running after paimon and aether. "what did you get us into?!" I asked. "paimon will explain later but for now we gotta run! we glided off of the balcony and up to who knows where.
