The Swordsman of Sympathy

Temple of the Wolf

Sorry for not updating for the past several days.

I had to help pack up my family things for their trip to Vietnam, but they canceled it.

Then, I overslept and forgot to update this story.

And then, I went to church on Sunday.

Sorry for not fulfilling my end of the deal.

Last week was I was busy.

But, I'm back and I'll start updating this story.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a while of running, Aether made it where Kay's location is. They see the temple, but what got Aether shock was Kaeya lying on to the wall with injuries.

Aether: What happen!?

Kaeya: Hello, Travelers. As you can see, this is just a scratch.

Paimon: Uh, yea, try saying that to Paimon when you have cuts and bruises all over your body.

Aether: What caused this?

Kaeya: A monster, something I don't know or seen.

Paimon: Hey, Aether, what if Kaeya fought the monster we and Amber fought.

Kaeya: So there were monsters like that one inside the temple.

Aether: Yea, Amber went to Mondstadt to report to Jean. But right now, you need medical aid.

Kaeya: Don't worry about me. I know how to do basic aid and can heal myself. The important thing is right now is to destroy the Dragon's breath inside the temple that is being guarded by a monster. I went inside and scouted what monsters are in there. You'll be facing slimes, hilichurls, and that monster in there that will stand in your way.

Aether: Thanks, Kaeya. I'll finish this quick so we can get you a healer.

Kaeya: Go, I'll be waiting.

Aether brandish his dull sword and enter the temple with Paimon.

Kaeya: Now then, where is it.

Kaeya open a subspace that he put his hand through and brings out a lunchbox. Kaeya opens it, revealing Teyvat Fried Egg.

Kaeya: Let's dig in~

Kaeya grab his spoon and star eating the fried egg.

KAeya: I don't understand how eating this food rejuvenate me. Oh well, it works.

Inside the temple, Aether reach the end of the corridor, revealing a open space inside the temple. Aether sees a building that the Dragon's breath is located. Underneath him are hilichurls. Aether drops to the ground and begin slashing at them. After a few seconds, the hilichurls were eliminated and Aether move on to a hallway were flamethrower cores are.

Paimon: Uh, how do we pass this?

Aether thinks before looking at Paimon.

Paimon: What?

Few minutes later...

Aether: We made it!

Aether thrust his arm to the sky in victory while Paimon lies on the ground breathing heavily.

Paimon: Paimon... is not... meant to hold you while floating.

Aether: Well, it works. And you need to increase your stamina if you can only carry me like this.

Paimon: Shut up.

Aether and Paimon reach to a wind current that is going up.

Seeing this, Aether use his wind glider to go up to the entrance of the temple. Aether activate the manual near the door and the door opens, behind was a huge pyro slime.
