Hello!! I'm soooo sorry for not updating for like two months! Thank you for your patience and kind words! Sorry for not replying, I ignored Wattpad until just now to publish my stories. I've just been busy with school (I'm in my last year) and have to do a lot of research projects huhuhu! I haven't even gotten to play Fontaine's story quest yet T_T  But yeah, I'll try to update with my usual schedule but still no promises. 

Note: I only posted the first half of this quest because it's so long! I can't believe I'm in 17,600+ words right now and I've only wrote + reacted on half of the quest. If I try writing the second half, I fear this will be published next month :( 

PS: To those who played Fontaine quest, is it longer than Sumeru? 

"Alright, time for Sumeru!" Lynn cheered as Nahida started looking nervous. Venti noticed this and sent some winds to comfort her which worked as Nahida's shoulders slowly but surely relaxed.

"I wonder what problem Sumeru has," Lisa wondered with a curious look. 

"Bold of you to assume we have problems." someone from Sumeru commented with obvious irritation.

"Ignore him, he's old." Tighnari said. 

The screen opened and showed Lumine and Paimon slowly walking while admiring the luscious forest in front of them. 

"Now that we've made it to Sumeru, our next objective should be to head to Sumeru City  and find a way to meet with Lesser Lord Kusanali. And speaking of Lesser Lord Kusanali, even though we haven't heard too much about her, she doesn't seem to be the same deity who abducted your brother. 

"She definitely doesn't look like the unknown god." Keqing agreed as she and the others looked at Nahida who was slowly becoming flustered.

"She is too kind to be her." someone agreed, unconsciously speaking with venom when he mentioned the last word. 

But even so, people call Sumeru the "Nation of Wisdom," you know. If we can get a chance to meet the God of Wisdom, maybe she can give us some useful information."

'She definitely gave a lot of information.' Lynn thought, remembering the confusion she experienced while trying to understand everything that just dropped. 

"Alright, sounds like a plan." Lumine agreed as the two stopped in front of a tall hill where a statue of the seven resided. 

"But, uh... Paimon doesn't know the way to Sumeru City... Maybe we can climb up to that spot with the statue of the seven on it? That'll give us a way better view of things!" Paimon pointed. "Even if we can't see exactly where the city is, at least we'll be able to check for some smaller settlements nearby."

"Smart although I doubt you would see much." Cyno commented. 

Suddenly, Paimon stopped and looked at the side where a lady with green hair was walking by.

'Haypasia?' Tighnari blinked in surprised, not expecting to see a colleague so soon.

"Wait a second, look! There's someone up ahead!" Paimon told Lumine who also looked. "Perfect timing! Now we can just ask for directions rather than wander around like lost adventurers. Hey there. Uh... we're not from around here and seem to have gotten a little lost... We'd like to ask for some directions!"

The lady ignored Paimon and continued walking to her direction, surprising Paimon.

"Huh? Did they not hear Paimon? HEY! You over there! Could you give us some directions?" Paimon shouted louder.
