"Let me officially introduce the city of wind, dandelions, and freedom — Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius — Welcome to Mondstadt!"


"So pretty..."


"Finally, no more having to camp outdoors! But... the city folk don't look too cheery."


"Everyone's been put out of place by Stormterror recently. But everything will turn out fine as long as Jean's with us!"


"Jean?"


"Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius — Jean, Defender of Mondstadt. With Jean on our side, surely even the vicious Stormterror will be no match for us."


"Seems impressive..."


"Before I take you guys to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, I have a present for you both. It's a reward for helping me clear out that hilichurl camp."


"He-Hey! Why doesn't Paimon get a reward?"


"Ahh... Because this reward is useless to you, Paimon. But I'll treat you to a traditional Mondstadt delicacy — Sticky Honey Roast."


"Sticky Honey Roast!"


"Come with me, we'll head to the city's ahh... high ground."

I took my time walking up the many flights of stairs, getting distracted by little things, like the windmills, or various shops, or... Nevermind, you get the picture. Let's just say it took a little while. How it was only mid-afternoon, I don't know. Can't exactly complain. I was having a good time, after all. Amber was waiting for me all the way up at our designated meeting spot, slightly impatient.


"So, the present I want to give you is... A Wind Glider! Outriders use them to ride the wind, and the people of Mondstadt love using them too. I brought you here to give it to you so you can experience it right away!"


"Oh, you're really excited about these wind gliders, huh!"


"This looks like fun."


"Well that's because the wind is the heart and soul of Mondstadt! Alrighty then, enough talk! Let's give it a whirl! It's easy to use, but you still need to pay attention to my instructions."


Amber helped us get the wind gliders strapped on. When mine was secure, the patterns changed drastically, mimicking my sword's blade. Amber's eyes lit up, before checking if the material had changed too. It was still good to go. So both me and Aether stood on the stone wall, ready for takeoff. Amber's instructions were specific and slightly extensive, but she was ready to let us try for ourselves.
