"Found you."

Your decision to teleport into the city itself using a space anchor relative, perhaps recently activated, was not favorable, it seems. Considering the fact that you are now being swept up by a tornado of debris, being tossed up high into the wind.

Your vision is clouded momentarily, before you feel yourself being hurled high above the clouds. You keep your eyes close, waiting for your body to descend back to the ground, but the feeling of weightlessness does not withdraw.

Opening your eyes, you find yourself still floating above the clouds, a sort of force- no doubt, the 'power' of the wind, keeping you afloat. You can see from a distance- a tuft of blonde hair and black outfit flying after the dragon, attacking it.

. . .That's Aether, yes? Ah, well.

There's a slight problem, though. The wind around you feels like it's trying to slash your skin, gnawing and slitting repeatedly. It doesn't hurt, but with it's speed and being all around your body, it sure pricks.

After some time, repeatedly being hit by the bullets of Wind from the Traveler, the Dragon finally lets off, roaring, before soaring high, up and above the clouds. The wind holding you up, weakens- and the traveler gently soars down to the ground. You, on the other hand, however, are forcibly, intentionally pushed down to the ground- though, you manage to safely plunge on top of a building close to where The Traveler landed, and- ah.

There's the space anchor's relative over here. Can you activate it-? Yes, yes, you can. It activated the moment you touched it.

The pressure from the wind finally releases of your shoulders, and you sigh, rolling your neck.

Your attention turns towards The Traveler- and your eyes fixate on Aether's face for some time- concentration broken by a new character's dramatic entrance. He claps his hands, slowly walking towards Aether and The Red Bunny Girl, and although you can't properly hear his voice, you just know he is a suave smooth-talker.

You try to discern parts of the conversation- it's clear that the traveler's getting questioned by the Eye-Patch guy. The Red Bunny Girl seems to be in quite the panicky state- you don't manage to catch either of their names, unfortunately. One sentence, though, echoes loud and clear enough to reach your ears clearly.

'Everyone has their secrets, right?'

Nearing the end of their conversation, the strong howling winds slowly starting to calm, and you manage to catch the last part of their talk- it seems like they would be moving into the headquarters of whatever faction is present here. You sigh- can't follow them inside unfortunately. The Traveler and Red Bunny Girl quickly leave in a hurry.

The Eye-Patch Guy however stands still for a second before staring at you over his shoulder. Your eyes narrow- you have been spotted, no point trying to hide now. But, he merely smirks slowly, before shaking his head and walking away.

. . Alright, then.

Kaeya Alberich's smirk doesn't leave his pretty face- as he walks, humming to himself in thought.

Things are sure to get interesting with these new involvements around.

You decided to leave the city.

You could have asked around, meeting cityfolk and all, but quite frankly, you were not in the mood, and you wanted to examine and investigate the surroundings for an idea of the world, first. Basic mechanics, at least.

The world seems fairly normal, and pretty peaceful- much better of a refreshment than some of the other last worlds you visited, that were. . disastrous to say the least. Though, can't assume now, considering this world is literally. . well, upside down. So is it's reality, perhaps. Eh.
