The Ranger (Genshin impact x Male ranger Reader)

Close calls

Lumine's p.o.v.

Thanks to Y/n's sharp eye we already manage to find the first Archon.Although I certainly didn't expect the anemo Archon to be that type of person.But that won't be an excuse to get the answers I want.Along with Paimon and my ranger guardian Y/n or "Bright Lord" as his new recruited orcs call him now.Although having orcs at our back an call could make my burden a little easier.Anyway that's not important.What's more important is finding Barbatos or "Venti" as he wants us to call him in public.I could tell he got something planned for his dragon friend.But what was the question.We manage to find him in the nation's symbol,a giant tree that could withstand the punch of a giant.

Venti:Oh,what are you doing here? I was wondering  if you would happen to follow me

Lumine:Well for starters I want to know more about you.

Venti:That depends-does it have to do with Dvalin?

Y/n:We were told about the dragon's past.We also seen a pair of purple crystals onto the dragon's back.And given the dreadful appearance of these,no doubt they belong to the abyssal order.My hypothesis is someone from the abyss order planted them there to turn him against your nation and you

Venti gasped in slight horror.Y/n's hypothesis does make sense but why do such a thing to begin with.But before he could explain more we were interrupted by a hostile anemo being but it didn't last long.Returning back to Venti

Venti:Clearly Dvalin wasn't the only affected by this change of wind.By the way you said you were told of his past?

We nod and explained him the same way Lisa did

Venti:Is that so? Quiet the scholar that Lisa.And she's not wrong.The conflict reached the point that both sides resorted to force.And as for your hypothesis,ranger.I think you're quiet spot on.His hate didn't raise from the people from the lack of tributes to the four winds. and neither from his own nature,but instead the progress of his degradation

Paimon:Degra...dation?

Venti:The black blood flowing through his heart has been torturing him for years.And those crystals you mentioned.Might be the cause of it

Lumine:Or worse amplify the pain

Y/n:Any clues of why the order why they hate they despise the human world?

Venti:I wish I knew.I don't know where they come from.Many hilichurls out in the wild take orders from them and act as their weapons.

Y/n:That's hardly our concern when the uruks and ologs are still around.

Venti:Now that you mentioned it,strangely enough both uruks and ologs despise the abyssal order to the same level as they hate the human world.I also heard a strange rumor though despite their loathing towards them they work together as long as they profit from them

Paimon:As if things weren't bad enough already

Venti:Before I arrived here,I too was like Dvalin,cursed and left to waste.But now,before us stands the symbol of Mondstadt's hero,the place from which Mondstadt rose.The wind amongst the branches is good.I love the way it smells.Being here with you  beneath this great tree is like that purified crystal earlier.Like the poison leaving my body.*inhales & exhales*Feeling better already

Paimon:So,how did you got poisoned?

Venti:Well I tried to communicate with Dvalin earlier but was...interrupted.As a result not only did I fail to help Dvalin to break his curse,I also got infected

Lumine:That may or may not have been me and Y/n

Venti:Yep.It was both of you .So to make it up for it you're coming with me to the Cathedral!
