GENSHIN: Stardust Road

CH1 ACT1: TIME FOR ADVENTURE

Dvalin: "Barbatos, for what reason do you summon me to inazuma?" 

Venti: "you see, old pal. We need transport" he smiles

Dvalin: sighs "why can't I say no? Where to?" 

Venti: "the great beyond!!" He says kinda dramatically 

Dvalin: "Did you have too much wine? The great beyond is only a folktale. It's not a real location" 

Venti: "but it is" he whined "look" he shows dvalin the letter

Dvalin: "hmm, alright, im intrigued. I shall escort you to these unknown regions" 

Venti: "YAY, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!" 

Beidou: at a loss for words "did that bard just-" 

Aether and paimon: "summon a dragon? Yes" 

Beidou: "im speechless but at the same time curious beyond belief" 

Venti: on dvalin "ALL ABOARD!!!" 

Everyone got onto the wind dragon's back and dvalin soared off into the great beyond/the veil of mist far far far south of teyvat 

Aether: "the fog's really thick, be careful, folks" 

Venti: "Come on, we're on a ginormous dragon, what could go wrong?" 

Paimon: "a lotta things, ya tone-deaf bard!!" 

Venti: "paimon, relax, I think we're almost there. Correction, im completely uncertain about where we're even headed" 

Paimon: "that's a thing that could go wrong!!" 

Venti: "Again, relax!" 

Jean: "i have to agree with paimon on this, venti" she said warily 

Venti: yelps "when did you get here?!" 

Jean: "same time as you, now nobody move from where they are and we'll be fine flying through the mist" 

Ayaka: "got it, whoever you are"

Jean: "my names jean, acting grandmaster of the knights of favonius, pleasure to meet you"

Ayaka: "oh, tohma talks of you at times. I am Kamisato ayaka, pleasure to meet you too" 

Hours turn into days and the group finally sees an end to the veil of mist

Venti: "oh finally!! It's been 2 days!!" 

Ayaka and lumine: "two days!?!" 

Paimon: "It was that long?! Paimon couldn't even tell!!" 

Venti: "sadly, yes, it has been two days, but the end is finally in sight" 

Dvalin flies into the unknown regions and there's an entirely different continent apart from teyvat

Jean: "its beautiful" she said in awe "i never knew a place like this even existed!" 

Dvalin: "Well, it looks like I was proven wrong, barbatos. Where do you want to land?" 

Venti: "the place with the clock tower!!" He points to such a place 

And so, dvalin descends to the docks and everyone disembarks to start their adventure in the great beyond

Jean: "this seems like Mondstadt but….bigger, i suppose" 

And then, a little boy with white hair, an animal plushie and pink attire walks up to the Dandelion knight and tugs on her long coats 

???: "hello, did you come here on a dragon?" The boy said softly 

Jean: "oh? Why yes, my name is jean" she smiles

Dagou: "I am Dagou, I am...umm" he tries to count how old he is because he usually greets new people with his name and age "i don't know how old i am" 

Jean: "Umm, okay? Why do you say that, little Dagou?" 

Dagou: "i have an Immortality curse cast upon me by the chrono archons" 

Jean: "u-umm, an Immortality curse?" 

Paimon, aether and lumine: "and did you say chrono archons? Like, gods of time!?" 

Dagou: nods "mhm" 

Venti: "AMAZING!!! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REGION, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ARCHONS!!" 

Dagou: hides behind jean "don't shout, i don't like loud noises" 

Jean: "aww, keep it down venti" she kneels down and hugs Dagou "you scared this little guy" 

Dagou: "miss jean, you look like my mommy" he hugs her back "i miss her so much" 

Jean: her heart melts "poor kid, don't worry, i will be your mommy for now, hows that sound?" 

Dagou: his eyes light up with joy "you will?" 

Jean: nods "of course!" 

Venti: "i-you can just-what!?" 

Jean: picks up Dagou and chuckles "looks like klee has a brother now" she smiles and then notices a pink vision "is this vision yours, my now surrogate son?" 

Dagou: nods "i can fast forward time"

Ei: "that sounds...destructive" 

Zhongli: "agreed" 

Dagou: "don't worry. I only use it for short durations" he says softly before hugging jean 

Ayaka: "awww, this is melting my heart" 

Dagou: "I know Chronotopia like how I know my stuffy: fluffy. I can guide you through the city" 

Jean: "splendid" 

They venture into the city with Dagou as their guide. Seeing the sights and all that. Then, ve ti, who wandered off solo, stumbled upon a peculiar chronosmith's shop. 

Venti: "ooh, that looks interesting" he wanders in

Eddie: "hello there" he looks up from his work table "im eddie, the owner of this shop, how may i be of service?" 

Venti: "u-uumm, well...i am...short on mora so i can't buy anything-"

Eddie: "No matter. You are my first customer" 

Venti: "thats kinda sad" he comments

Eddie: "and my first customer gets their choice timepiece, crafted free of charge" 

Venti: "ooh, I want a pocket watch!!. And say, you look familiar. Do you perhaps know of one diluc from Mondstadt? You look an awful lot like him" 

Eddie: chuckles "why yes, he and i had a past together" he chuckles once more "he was always so impatient when it came to chronosmithing" 

Venti: "he was the impatient type?!" 

Eddie: "why yes, he never did have the steadiest hands, so it was only inevitable. Chronosmithing requires patience above all else, you see" 

Venti: "ah, i see" 

Eddie: sighs "thank you for evoking so much nostalgia" he says as he continues work on the pocket watch

Venti: "erm-you're welcome?" 

Meanwhile 

The others are walking throughout Chronotopia seeing the sights when suddenly, the group hears blades clashing in the far distance. And as such, they decided to investigate. 

And they see someone in pure white garb take on some fatui all on his lonesome. Seemingly guarding a pouch, what could it contain exactly? 

And who exactly is the person that's guarding the pouch?
