ii. The Forgotten Temple (2)

"Aether.. Are you sure this is a good idea? Eekk!! Paimon is scared!" Paimon panicks, while the blonde comforts her. "Calm down you silly emergency food!" Aether sighs

"E-eh!? Paimon is not an emergency food!" Paimon did an angry face and pouts, Only a response was a nervous chuckle.

But soon, The duo heard footsteps, They looked behind them and saw Zhongli, the retired geo archon (mans a grandpa ik) along with some people

"Oh, Mr. Zhongli, Jean, Diluc..! Everyone! Glad you can make it" Aether says lightly smiling at everyone who had arrived at the "Temple"

"Ofcourse, We wouldnt dare to decline your request Aether. You did so many things for us. And this is also related to Barbatos, we wouldnt hesitate to agree" Jean says, smiling back warmly at the other (LIGHTER) blonde male.

"Thats sweet of you Jean, Thank you." Aether nods, while Kaeya spoke up in a light voice, "Traveller would you mind to tell us what is this sort of "Temple?" Along the way we've seen some paintings about Lord barbatos and a woman"

Instead of Aether, Paimon replied to the question

"Oh..! Well that woman is the god of time, Istaroth! Kyaaa! She's really beautiful too.. Paimon really loves her long hair and elegant manner!" Paimon says happily as the retired geo archon himself chuckles

"I say, She's quite elegant. Isn't she?" Zhongli says, as (half of) everyone looks at them

"You met the god of time before, Mr. Zhongli?" Aether asked in curiousity, as the retired geo archon smiles and put a hand on his chin.

"That's correct, Traveller." Zhongli says as Ei spoke up, "Being a god is something that is a big responsibility, But it does have its perks to meet anyone, even old forgotten gods." Ei says as Nahida nodded, agreeing

"Oh.. i see, by the way, where is Venti?" Aether says, looking around not seeing a certain suspect of this temple.

"I'm afraid we dont know either, He's... lets say, he's missing." Diluc says as another Mondstadt citizien spoke, "Its been 3 days since we've seen venti usually if he goes out he will tell us where he'll go, but this time he didnt. I apologise, Traveller." Amber says with honesty

"Oh, thats a shame." Aether says, disappointed while Paimon nods agreeing with him. "I wonder did that tone deaf bard went" Paimon says floating around (Cause she got no wings.)

"Well where ever he went, We can't look for him. Let's just continue our search alright." Wanderer pointed out, Resisting not to curse (We family friendly.)

"That's a good point hat gay!" Paimon nodded while Wanderer looked at Paimon in a anger look. "Stop calling me that, You disgusting emergency food i wonder how the hell did you even survive Aether shouldnt've just eaten you." Wanderer retorted as Paimon panicks

"E-eh! Paimon is not a emergency food!! Aether dont eat meee!! Im not a food!" Paimon was panicking as Aether could only sigh

"Enough of childful games, We're here to investigate. Not play." Ei said as some other people agreed, Everyone went to their own spots to Investegate until . . .

"Hey guys, i've found something!" Kaeya said as everyone surronded that pacific area. Aether took a closer look of a Looking vault,

"It looks like it's connected to something, dont you think so traveller?" Xiao asks and the blonde male nods, "Yes. It looks like we need to find its pair" Aether says

"Maybe this?" Kazuha showed a cyan like gem "I saw it when i was investegating in an area" He explains as Aether thanked Kazuha as he took the gem

"Is everyone ready for what will happen?" The (LIGHT) blonde asked as everyone nodded. Aether putted the gem on the vault suddenly a voice was heard within aethers ears,

"Perhaps a certain god can heal
A lost god's memories."

It whispers into Aether's ear before everything went black.

"May the wind guide you through your Journey."
