''You mean the God of Anemo, Barbatos? Well, he's still around, if you can say that, but not physically. He left Mondstadt a long time ago. It has been a very long time since Mondstadt saw their own god.''
''What about the other gods?'' Paimon asked further.
''Liyue's God of Geo, Inazuma's God of Electro and Snezhnaya's God of Cryo are still present. Sumeru's God of Dendro is inactive at the moment. But for the others I don't know. I'm not so close with them.''
''What about you? When was the last time you saw the God of Anemo? No offense, but you don't seem like you're from Mondstadt.'' Aether pointed out.
''Hmm, keen observation. You're right, I'm from Liyue, but was born here in Mondstadt. I moved here 500 years ago, where Lord Barbatos took me under his wings and helped me with my Anemo powers among other things. Then something happened and I was forced into a deep slumber, and only woke up 200 years ago. It was also the last time I saw Lord Barbatos.''
''Forced into a slumber? What happened?'' Paimon asked bluntly.
''Paimon! That's rude!'' Aether whisper-yelled.
'' It's alright. Everyone can be curious about something. But I don't like to talk about it. Sorry...'' I stated. Both of them frowned at me for prying a little too much. Even Jean and Lisa, since they knew what happened back then. ''But I might tell you when we handle the situation regarding Stormterror. I... Uhm... Need to prepare myself mentally... It's not easy for me to talk about.''
Third POV.
Aether and Paimon left the headquarters and walked through the streets.
''There's something you didn't tell them.'' Paimon spoke. ''The dragon and the crystal weren't the only things we saw.''
''I'd like to investigate on my own first. I don't think that the green guy is an enemy.''
''So you do remember the green guy. He looked just like the guy down there!'' Paimon said and pointed towards a young guy wearing a green outfit running through the streets.
''Hmm... It is the same shade of greed, what a coincidence.'' Aether said, and suddenly both Aether and Paimon realized something.
''Wait... Hold on a minute... That... That's the same guy! He disappeared! Use your Elemental Sight to track him down.'' Paimon suggested to Aether.
Aether used his elemental sight, so that he could see elemental trails that the green guy left behind. They followed the trail and arrived at the plaza with the Anemo Archon statue was, near the Cathedral. In front of the statue were many people surrounding the green guy, who played a lyre and sung a song.
The people applauded and walked their own ways, while Aether and Paimon approached the green bard.
''Hey, you guys are... Oh, that's right! You're the ones who scared Dvalin away.'' the green bard said.
''Dvalin? Who's that?'' Paimon asked not understanding who the green bard was referring to.
''Is it the dragon's real name?'' Aether asked to link the bard's song and the current happenings together.
''Why do you call him that? Are you two meant to be close or something?'' Paimon asked to make sense of the scene at the woods.
