After Emma's panic frenzy had come to an end, the group of four were now infront of the Cathedral. "So this... 'Holy lyre der himmel' is..." Paimon asked as she waited for Venti to start explaining. "One of the most treasured items in Mondstadt, it's the lyre that Barbatos used to play." Venti explained. "With it, perhaps I can help Dvalin draw his gentle nature back out of this nightmare he's going through." Venti continued. "Will It really stop Stormterror from causing more damage?" Paimon asked again as she placed her hand under her chin. "Of course, I'm the best bard in the world. There's not a single song I do not know, no matter if it's from the past, present or future." Venti said with a proud smile. "Look me in the eyes, do you not find me trustworthy?" Venti questioned.
"He's hiding something and I know it! But I need more evidence to prove that he is the person i think he is...." Emma thought as she awkwardly smiled. "...Just what is that in your eyes?" Emma asked. "So how can we get the holy lyre?" Paimon asked. "It's said that it's enshrined deep within the Cathedral, somewhere safe." Venti explained. "I'll go take a look around, you can come if you want." Venti added as he walked inside the Cathedral.
"Hey Emma, I noticed that you've been quiet now that we came to Mondstadt, is something wrong?" Aether asked as Emma smiled. "Hehe, no I'm fine, I'm just thinking." Emma reassured as Aether's hand grasped Emma's. "You know I'm here, I'll be here when you need me." Aether said as Emma was shocked before smiling, "Thank you Aether." Aether's face turned to a red hue as he felt all giddy and happy again.
Then the trio followed Venti as the bard was ready to talk with one of the sisters. "Let me handle this." Venti reassured as he walked towards one of the sisters. "Hello there sister." Venti greeted as the women turned to face the bard. "May the anemo God bless you, young bard, how can I help you?" The sister asked. "Actually, I know a secret that can save Mondstadt from it's current predicament." Venti said as it intrigued the Sister. "Oh, what a blessing from the God of Anemo!" The sister smiled, "But you should report to the Knights of Favonius. Why have you come to me?" The sister asked. "Hahaha, because you, dear sister, are able to help!" Venti smiled.
"I'd like to borrow... the Holy Lyre. With it, I'll be able to help Stormterror---" "Please see yourselves out." Not even before Venti could even explain the sister quickly cut him off. "What?" Venti had a shocked expression as the trio facepalmed. "It's a vicious dragon indeed, but once the Acting Grand Master makes up her mind, nothing can stand in the knight's way." The Sister explained. "That's simply not acceptable. Wouldn't Stormterror end up getting killed that way." Venti said as he had a worried expression. "That foolish beast betrayed the winds, not even the God of Anemo themselves would forgive it!" The Sister replied.
"How is she so sure that the Anemo Archon wouldn't forgive Dvalin." Emma thought as she felt her blood boiling. Then, once again there was sharp pain in her chest, but it was more faint then the last. Venti grunted as he started to ponder. "Please, I beg of you!" Venti said as he had a desperate expression. "I'm afraid not, little bard." The sister placed her hands on her hips. "Then... I guess I'm left with no other choice. I cannot hide anymore." Venti mumbled before he fully spoke. "My disciples, rejoice! Behold, the god of Anemo Barbatos has descended!" Venti announced as Emma sighed.
"Welp, that proves my theory...I guess?" Emma thought. "Shocked, aren't you? Don't you just want to cry out and rejoice? How does it feel to finally meet the God you've been serving?" Venti smiled proudly, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to handle Cathedral paperwork now." The Sister replied, not even fazed by Venti's sudden introduction. "Wait--" Venti called out with a devastated expression. "Eh? She didn't even bat an eyelid." Venti sighed as the trio walked up to him.
"I mean... I'll probably will too If a sudden young bard declared that he was the Anemo Archon." Emma crossed her arms. "But, I have at least learned what I wanted to know." Venti said. "She didn't deny that the Cathedral is enshrining the Holy Lyre." Venti explained before a smile was plastered on his face. "Now Aether, since you're the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius...maybe you can give it a shot." Venti offered, "How come I'm not mention in this?" Emma asked as she remembered that Jean assigned her as The Honorary Healer.
"Well, I mean a Healer has no business of the Holy Lyre, am I wrong?" Venti asked as Emma found an interesting point. "I guess. Okay then Aether, give it a shot!" Emma said as she patted the boy's back, "Aether cheeks flushed a pink Hue before nodding and walked towards the sister from before. "Hey, are you sure this will work?" Emma whispered. "Probably not." Venti replied as Emma had a deadpan expression. Emma stared at Aether and the sister as they talked, after sometime it seems like Aether failed to obtain the Holy Lyre.
The blond-haired boy and the pixie walked back to the other two. "Let me guess, it failed." Emma asked as Aether nodded. "I knew it.." Venti mumbled. "You 'knew it'?" Paimon repeated. "I just wanted to know how influential Aether-- the hotshot of the Knights of Favonius-Is." Venti said. "You see, the best warrior should always be presented with the best sword and yet here we are..." Venti explained. "Does the story not make for a fitting bard?" Venti questioned as Paimon placed her hands on her hips. "So what are you trying to say? That we're not good enough?" Paimon questioned as she seemed displeased.
"No, that's not it. More of a commentary regarding Mondstadt's inability to see the warrior standing right before it's very eyes." Venti reassured. "Very well, looks like borrowing it is not going to be possible, we're simply going to have to steal it." Venti said. "What!? Stealing!?" Emma exclaimed as Venti covered the girl's mouth, Aether glared at Venti as he didn't like how his hands were on Emma's mouth. "Today we stand for free will! Any suggestions on just how we steal it?" Venti asked as Aether didn't respond since he was too busy glaring at Venti's hand.
"Come now, speak up, that's what free will is for." Venti encouraged as Aether quickly broke from his glaring session. "I don't want to steal anything!" Aether replied as Emma removed Venti's Hand from her mouth. "Hahaha, look at you, sidetracked from the start." Venti laughed it off. "But seriously, you're more suitable for the job than I." Venti said. "Aside from singing, I don't really have any other talents. Besides, if I was caught, I'd have no-one to correct the grave injustice of my arrest." Venti explained. "How can it be a 'grave injustice' if you got caught stealing red-handed?" Paimon asked.
"But things are different for Aether, you are the superstar of the Knights of Favonius, you have made contributions to Mondstadt." Venti continued to explain. "Should you get caught, you would easily be able to talk your way out of it." Venti continued. "The guards here, it seems they're off duty throughout the night. If we manage to seize this opportunity, it should be smooth sailing from here." Venti continued, "Stop mentioning us getting caught!" Paimon exclaimed, "Aether what do you say?" Venti asked, "I'm sorry--wait... did you just say you're Barbatos?" Aether realized.
"Ah, yes, it seems I did mention that...you're point being?" Venti awkwardly smiled. "If you really are a God, then we can't simply abandon you." Aether explained, "Why does your decision hinge upon whether or not I am a god?" Venti asked. "Paimon will fill you in on Aether's background story when we get the time..." Paimon chimed in. "And if you're not a God, then I'll help Dvalin anyway." Aether added as Venti hummed in confusion. "I will bring you the Holy Lyre Der Himmel." Aether said. "Great! Now Emma, what about you?" Venti asked as he turned to only see the girl gone. "Huh? She was there a moment ago!?" Paimon exclaimed as Aether can feel his fear inside of him.
"No, No, no, no, no, no, no, she can't leave, please don't go Emma!" Aether thought as he clenched his fists. "Oh you must be Emma's friends." A sister said as she walked towards the group. "Where's Emma? Is she okay?" Aether asked in a panicked state as the sister was taken by surprise. "Woah! Don't worry, she told me that she got a little lightheaded and wanted to head back to her room. She wanted me to inform of her sudden departure." The sister explained as Aether sighed in relief. "That's quite sad, tell her that we're praying for her well being." Venti asked as the sister nodded before walking away.
