A Protective Wind 🍃Venbara🍃

After we ate we went to where I stay, I sat venti down. His face was covered in gloom as he drank some wine, perhaps he drinks so much to cope with...

"Venti, why don't you tell me more about this mortal?"

"Well...She has beautiful and curly blonde pigtails...Those blue eyes are also such a reminder of the ocean, such a relaxing sight...She's a nun at the cathedral too, she wears an adorable white dress with a big bow at the top...There is something special we truly share though, a connection to music..."

His face showed that he truly did think of her this way, and that he seems to want to just stare into her eyes...Perhaps she relaxes him from his memories...

"Why not go after her then?"

"The fatui tried to get back at me and well...I was with her, and she got extremely hurt because I failed...She is also a big target now because she truly knows that I am Barbatos...The fatui called me by my god name when we came in contact..."

"I see little brother...It is true that gods falling in love with mortals is a difficult situation, you could...Give or create her a special artifact that as long as she holds it she will be stronger and immortal as long as nothing vital is hit..."

"I don't know how to do that Morax...How do you expect a failure of a god to create such a thing?"

"Oh Barbatos, you're not a failure, you freed an entire kingdom from evil clutches twice! I can lend you some help in creating it too, I tried to make one at one time for someone...I believe with the power of two archons it is possible."

He set down his glass of wine and embraced me in a tight hug, in which I ruffled his hair in response and gave back the hug. It was time to investigate the ways this idea could work...

Barbara POV:
I woke up in my room in the cathedral, my leg was numb...I recalled being stabbed, and... "Venti" who is actually Barbatos!? I feel like a such a fool, how could I have no noticed!? His hair glows whenever he uses his powers, and his vision doesn't glow like a normal one! But I fell into love with him...A mortal and a immortal...I wish it would work...Speaking of Barbatos, where exactly did he go? I began to stand up, using the wall for support and limped out. I saw one of the other sisters...Rosaria...she looks mean to be honest, but deep inside she has a good heart. She came and grabbed me to sit me down.

"Barbara, leaving your room was a stupid idea. Don't you know what condition your leg is in?"

"Well yes, but..."

"But what?"

"I was curious where Venti went...."

"Oh the pathetic bard that I always see in the tavern? Why would you want to know where he is? I thought you hated people drinking."

"I do, but Venti...He has protected me on multiple occasions and I might have been dead if he didn't show up..."

"Ugh, lovesick much?"

"I don't think it would work...There is something about him only I know..."

She rolled her eyes at me and seemed disgusted at the idea of love, then gave me a small pat on the back. I gave a small smile, still wondering where he went.

"Soooooo, where did he go? I mean he brought me here I'm assuming?"

"He did indeed, and he was mumbling about Liyue when I talked to him about you."

"Oh...I guess I'll be going to Liyue then! I must speak to him about something!"

"As much as I would like to get rid of your cheery personality, you're not going anywhere with your leg like that."

"Ahhh, I forgot about that...I'll heal myself up good enough to walk and continuously heal it day after day there! Just please get me a day off!"

"Very well then, but you better keep your word. If you come back and your injury is worse than it was then I will personally make sure you never go anywhere without supervision. Go heal yourself up the best you can."

I knew it was a bad idea to go out before my leg was fully better, but I must speak to Barbatos...Liyue was my goal after I packed a backpack of needed supplies and said goodbye to my fellow sisters...I looked back at the cathedral and then continued down the city streets and onto the dirt path.
