PROLOGUE, part i:
「 an enigma's cries 」
---
A babe's cry had stirred the Anemo Archon from its slumber.
Venti did not appreciate the unexpected alarm clock, but nonetheless, he was awake and there was no reason to return to sleep, not when the sun had started to peek. He found himself materializing by the edge of Starsnatch cliff, a high place up where the wind was able to immediately greet him. With hand stretched out and braids starting to glimmer in their aqua-green glow, translucent feathers were formed and a mellow zephyr arrived, nipping his skin gently as he was brought up on the air at ease.
The bard closed his eyes, missing the feeling, and hummed a small tune to himself.
Down the grassy ground, he landed not after a short while, eyelids opening that unveiled gleaming eyes that stared at the sunrise. A virescent luminosity that gradually dimmed like dust.
A moment of silence... that was then interrupted with a desperate yet innocent wail.
"Oh? It's that sound again," Venti's ears perked up, recognizing the sound as the very one that disturbed his decade-long nap. But alas, it was one that he and his heart could not ignore. This infant's weeping, however, seemed to have come from all sorts of directions, there was no certain one. It was as similar to being in a cave, echoing around yet fading.
Not a moment even was given for him to think when the cries disappeared as instant as it came. Gone, and now silent, leaving the Archon stumped.
"Now, where did it come from, I wonder?"
