~Next morning~

Pov Y/n:

'I don't want to get up this early! Ugh! But if I won't get up now, that Albedo will throw a stone in my face again.. Fineee..'

Once I got outside, I saw the others waiting at the search table and with them, that bard.

"So you're up already. Good, come over here."

I did as Albedo said and saw a piece of paper with something g written on it..

"Y/n, can you read this ?"

I took a look at the paper...

<Schnee so weich Federn, Eis so hard wie Stein,
all dies findet man in Dragonspine.
Neben Kälte und Einsamkeit,
ist da noch Platz für Heiterkeit?
Ein Ort der Fragen und wir suchen Antworten.
Die alten Zeiten geben uns Wissen;
die Höhle ist der Schlüssel
and all you need to do is 'listen'.>

'This is remarkable. How old is this, and how did they know this language?'

They all looked at me and waited for my answer. Well, except Venti, who looked off into the distance again.

"Let me roughly translate it to you guys."

<Snow as soft as feathers, ice as hard as rock, is what you find in Dragonspine.
Besides the cold and loneliness, is there room for cheerfulness?
A place of questions, and we look for answers.
The old times are giving us wisdom;
the cave is the key, and all you need to do is 'listen'.>

"So, why didn't they just say something like <search for a cave> instead of whatever that was ?"

"Paimon, we need to cherish the art of poetry and -"

"To be honest, they really could have written something like <search a cave> cause once you translate it, it doesn't rhyme anymore."

"They could have, but there might be a reason the person wrote it this way~"

"Enough."

Everybody went silent once Aether spoke up.

"Thank you Y/n for reading. I must say, your ability to read this language is pretty interesting. Maybe there is more in this place written in it."

"Let's try to find out what cave is meant in this text."

"We will, but Sucrose and all the others too, we don't know what we will find or even find anything at all. All we know for sure is that this was written about a or more decades ago. The fact that I knew this language implies that those people were clever, so we need to be very careful."

*nodds*

"Let's not waste anymore time ! Paimon wants to see I there is a treasure with lots of mora!"

Aether wanted to say something to her, yet the fairy already made her way out of the little camp of ours. I catched a small smile going off on his lips when he faced down and immediately went after her.

"She doesn't even know where to start the search, doesn't she ?" (Sucrose)
"She will find out eventually." (Venti)
"How so?" (Y/n)

His face turned and raised his arm, showing to the left side.

"We will, too. I mean, if we follow the alchemist over there."

Sucorse panicked a little bit when she noticed Albedo was gone and already on his way to the top of dragonspine. She cleaned her glasses as fast as she could and ran up to him.
