Walking along the path, nature presented them with a beautiful vibe to cope with. At the end of the path, a cliffside resides.

They were in awe as they saw a beautiful scenery. One thing caught their eyes was the Statue of the Seven which Paimon pointed out. (Y/N) was quite distorted at the sight of the Anemo Archon's Statue. Those memories she had after the Archon War made her think that she's always left behind.

As they continue on the path towards the Statue of the Seven, Paimon talks about random stuff that relates to the wind as well as the God itself. Aether noticed that (Y/N) was slowing down, seems to be wary of the Statue. He softly grabbed her hands and gently pulled her with him.

" Aether! " (Y/N) shouted which caused Paimon to tease her but none the less choose to ignore her teasing. Aether was happy though, he was worried that she might be afraid of the Archon since he knew her behaviour the past month.

At last they arrived at the lake which the Statue resides.

" You can swim right over " Paimon said as she floated across the lake.

' Lucky, she won't get her clothes wet. Oh well ' The girl thought as she dives in the water and swam slowly. Aether was behind her as he wants to ensure that she won't drown or anything.

They finally arrived at the Statue. As Aether closes in the Statute, (Y/N) noticed something strange near the Statue.

' ( Favourite Flower )? They don't usually grow near a statue. . . '

Ah yes, her signature flowers. These flowers only grow mostly in somewhere secretive since it was her order to the flowers. She likes to keep them rare than people finding them easily.

Her eyes landed on Aether, his hands touched the Statue, emitting a soft light green glow. The orb that the statue held glowed until an orb of element came out of it and now gifted Aether the power of Anemo.

" Ooh! Did you just feel the elements of the world? " Paimon asked.

" Seems all you had to do was just touch the statue and you got the power of Anemo! " She continued.

" I think I know why, it's because. . . "

" Ah-ha, it's because you're not from this world to begin with " Aether turned his head towards the (H/C) haired female who was just looking at the statue. Not many could see the terrified eyes she held. He wasn't dumb to realize that she might have encountered an unpleasant memory of the Anemo Archon.
