"You got the power to go up against the dragon. Impressive. But, let me ask this; Are you new alley? Or....a new storm?"
The travellers and the new arrival stare at each other with the male smirk while [Name] is narrowing his (E/c) eyes, immediately knowing what this man in front of them is trying to do.
It's really heavy tension, but thanks to Amber, who came out of nowhere after rushing away to see if anybody in Main Plaza is alright before she returns to the travellers.
"Stormterror is attacking Mondstadt itself! Captain Kaeya, Sir [Name], Aether! All of you came at the right time! We must-!" Amber suddenly exclaimed, and this made [Name] wonder if Amber was obvious about the heavy tension or if she just wanted to calm the tension between them and the blue-haired male named Kaeya, whatever Amber just called him.
Either way, [Name] owes her for this. "Hold on, Amber. Are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?" Kaeya asked, still keeping his eyes on the travelling trio who just stared at him, unsure of what to do.
"Oh, right! This is Kaeya. He is our Cavalry Captain. These three are travellers from afar; Aether, Paimon, and their older companion, Sir [Name]." Amber introduce themselves to each other while Kaeya just stare at the trio for a while and as if [Name] read his thought, the said male raised his brow.
Ok, I don't like this guy.....
"Well, long short story...."
Amber starts to tell about Aether searching for his sister with help from [Name] and Paimon along the way, before meeting Amber outside the city and helping her finish the mission. Kaeya who listened to the story from beginning to end, nodded.
"I see... Then, welcome to Mondstadt, but you three have arrived at the wrong time, I'm afraid." Kaeya said, welcoming the trio to the city.
"I understand the anguish of being separated from family. I'm not sure why you're looking for the Anemo God, but everyone has their secrets, right? Relax, I won't press you for more. Even though, I don't mind if we get to know each other." Kaeya continued, sending a flirting smile to [Name] who felt a bit flustered at the sudden smile, so [Name] just scoffed, and this made Kaeya chuckle.
"First and foremost, on behalf of the Knight of Favonius, I would like to extend our thanks to both of you for your help just now." Kaeya thanks and both Aether and [Name] give the captain a nod.
"Well, we couldn't just leave the situation to fester." Said Outlander on their behalf. "You two fight to defend the city against the dragon, and just now it was witnessed by no small number of citizens. Not only that, our dear Acting Grand Master of Knights of Favonius is also very interested in meeting you and formally invites the three of you to headquarters."
Acting Grand Master? Wasn't Amber just mentioned that a few moments ago?
~~~
The travellers and the knights had arrived at the headquarters, and they entered the office where [Name] saw two ladies. One of them is wearing a purple pointy hat, which [Name] assumes that she was a witch, while the other one has blond hair that is tied in a high ponytail while wearing an outfit like a knight.
'I guess she's the Acting Grand Master that Amber and Kaeya just talked about.' [Name] thought.
"Master Jean, I've brought them." Kaeya starts to explain how Amber finds the trio outside the city and defends the city while defeating the dragon. And of course, Kaeya also told the story of the separation between two siblings to the Acting Grand Master.
"....And once it was over, I brought these three straight here." Kaeya finished.
"I see. The Mondstadts welcome you, Windborne Travelers. I am Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. This is Lisa, our resident Librarian."
"Are, aren't you a sweetest for helping us out? You're both so adorable! And you, my oh my, so handsome~" The purple witch, named Lisa, said, giving a wink to the travellers who couldn't help but blush at the sudden compliment they got from the stranger.
'This is our first time meeting and we already got such a kind of compliment-!' The trio thought to themselves as Kaeya and Lisa who watch them, chuckle in amusement.
"Sadly, the timing is regrettable. Stormterror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since its recent resurgence. Simply put, Mondstadt's elemental sphere and ley lines are now kin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten."
Say what now-
"If it weren't for this interference, the Knight of Favonius would have better ways to help you than just putting up missing person posters. We simply ask that you repose in Mondstadt while we help you seek out your sister."
Feeling bad for the Knights, Paimon and Aether look at each other and glance at their companions, who notice that both Aether and Paimon glance at him. And knowing it's like 1 vs 2, [Name] silently sighed.
"We can give you a hand to help." [Name] interfere. "Paimon will help too!" Paimon continued.
"Good. In that case, we need a plan."
"With Stormterror now directly attacking the Mondstadt, we may have an opportunity to cut this problem off at the source. Lisa has revealed the sources of Stormterror's power with her detection magic."
This made the trio look surprised.
"Really? Where is it?"
"They're located in the abandoned Four Winds' Temples. Stormterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to it drawing power from the temples."
"And now, our objective is to deal with three of the four temples. I trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three." Jean finished, and Paimon shrugged, glancing at Aether and [Name].
"Paimon doesn't."
"It must be a local thing."
"Probably."
"Knight of Favonius, time is against us. The storm is rampant. There is no point in maintaining a defensive position, and we need to take the initiative and act quickly before the situation escalates."
With that, the journey to the 'Four Winds' Temples' begins.
~~~
"Okay, before we start our journey to the temple, I have an easy plan for us to finish sooner. Aether and Paimon, you two go with Amber. [Name] and Kaeya, you two go together and then rendezvous with Lisa. The sooner we complete the task, the sooner we save the city." Jean made a suggestion and, of course, everyone agreed, so they started their journey together.
"Since we go to same temple, how about we getting to know to each other?" Kaeya wiggle his eyebrows toward [Name] who scoffed at this.
Oh joy...
