"Ah finally I think that's the last camp. Thanks for helping M/n." 

"It was no problem traveler. Did Katheryne give you two anymore commissions?"

"OH! Paimon knows this one! Paimon thinks that Katheryne said something about a strange carriage being spotted by the Dune of Elution. It's being guarded by Eremites. Though the last place they were seen was the Valley of Dahri."

"Oh right I forgot about that. If you don't have anything else to do then can you help us?"

"I guess I have no duties at the moment so sure. Spares me from going home to Kaveh so early."

"Well she was certainly correct. But why are there so many of them?"

M/n wasted no time. He motioned Aether to follow his lead. Soon enough all the Eremites were gone. Quite a grueling task it was. All they were saying was either,

"Protect the carriage!" or "No harm must come to the carriage!" 

M/n walked towards the horse that was pulling the thing. He put his hand out but no reaction. Soon he felt lightheaded. What was thought to be battle fatigue turned into something worse. Aether ran to catch the now fainted man. The horse bucked as a unknown wind came powering through. So strong it could rival Barbatos. Aether's hold on M/n slipped for a moment and his reaction time wasn't the best at the moment. M/n crashed into the carriage. 

Aether reached out but it was too late. The carriage disappeared without a trace. He got up and started running with Paimon back to Sumeru city to inform who he could about M/n.
