Over in Mondstadt a decently large group has gathered at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius, at the order of the acting grandmaster Jean Gunnhildr after she received a worrying reports about a mysterious gate popping up in the woods surrounding the city. This mission would be a collaboration with the Mondstadt brach of the Adventures Guild. As Fischl and Bennett discovered it, they were naturally there. As was the captain of the Reconnaissance Company, Eula Lawrence. Of course Jean's trustworthy librarian Lisa took part too and so was Diluc, who she secretly liked despite his unconventional methods of protecting the city of freedom. As was his brother, although not bound by blood, Keaya, who was also the Cavalry Captain. (A/N: Though I've yet to see a single horse) Also in knowledge was needed on what the doors were made up of, so the Head Alchemist Albedo was called in too, with Sucrose trailing not too far behind him. As they didn't know if it would be dangerous or someone could get harmed, Barbara was there to take care of any minor injuries. As this was about potential danger to Mondstadt the Anemo Archon Barbatos, though better known among the mortals as Venti the bard, was there too. And of course the happy, bubbly and only Outrider Amber was there too, with Aether and the other young member of the KoF, Noelle. Surprisingly, even Klee was there, as Jean knew that she would follow them anyway, despite ordering her to stay at the headquarters.

'So, what's the plan?' asked Albedo, wanting to know any specifics on what they were going to do. 'We currently don't have much of a plan, as we simply don't know with what or who we'll be dealing with here,' Jean started, 'but what we do have is the following: when we arrive at the doors that lead to this potential domain, we wait until everyone is there. This is very important and no going in on your own. Got it?' Everyone nodded and Jean looked intensely at Klee until the child nodded too. 'Good, once everyone arrived Diluc, Eula, Keaya, Albedo, and me go in first, with Noelle, Aether and Bennett following soon after. We'll get cover from Venti, Fischl and Amber, with Lisa, Sucrose, Barbara and Klee will bring up the rear. I think that this way we can quickly and effectively take care of any danger coming our way. Does anyone have any objections?' Jean finished the plan. No one said anything, indicating the plan was crystal clear. 'Good in that case, let's move out!'

'My Lord, the group is on their way to here and the wolf boy has affiliated with them,' Raven said, with her face down to the ground, in order to not upset you like last time, which clearly traumatized her as seen by the look in her eyes. 'Very well then, are they with them?' you asked, purely out of curiosity. 'Yes, My Lord, all three are with them,' the anthropomorphic raven said. 'Good, I'll have someone lead them here for a warm welcome. We'll not hurt them just yet, not without provocation at least,' you said. 'My Lord?' the armored woman asked. 'You've got permission to speak,' you said. 'Lady Lumine's brother is with them it seems,' she informed you. 'Things turn out to become more interesting than I initially thought, it seems,' you said, while a small wicked smile crept onto your face. I would really like to converse with him about how he managed to free Dvalin from our will. It was a minor setback, but nothing that derailed our plans too much, you thought. You weaved with you're hand: 'Get outta my sight.' Your cold words cut deep through Raven and sending shivers down her spine, your voice still reminding her that you hadn't forgiven her inability to follow orders. 'Yes, My Lord,' she said quietly. She quickly bowed, while walking backwards through the doors which shut after she went through them. You snapped your fingers and a portal opened behind your throne, with Lumine walking out calmly. 'You summoned me, My Lord?' 'Have a seat,' you ordered. 'I don't see an appropriate place to set myself down, My Lord,' said the blonde. You lifted your left arm up and let it fall in your lap, freeing your left arm rest. 'Now there is,' you simply said. 'Thank you, My Lord,' she bowed and sat down, her heart fluttering a bit as she was never allowed to be so physically close to you. 'It seems your brother will be among the visitors we'll be expecting,' you said. 'I see, My Lord,' she said. 'I wish to converse with them first about the failed plan involving Dvalin, before you take care of him,' you said, with your cold, low and sharp voice. 'Yes, My Lord,' the girl wearing a white dress said.
