Chapter 5

Ceres P.O.V

After I left the tavern, I decided to look around the market to see what the people of Mondstadt are selling. There was a general store, a restaurant called the Good Hunter, a souvenir shop, a blacksmith workshop and a flower shop. I decided to look at the flower shop and a little girl greeted me

"Welcome to Floral Whisper! Please have a look at our selection of flowers" The little girl said with a cute smile. I looked at the flowers she has some Windwheel Aster flowers, Cecilia flowers, Calla Lily flowers and Small Lamp Grass flowers

'Cecilia flowers... I remember Barbatos telling me how he liked these flowers' I thought

"Can I have some Cecilia flowers, please?" I asked

"Of course! Please give me a moment" The little girl said as she wrapped 5 Cecilia flowers into a beautiful small bouquet "Here you go, miss" She handed me the bouquet and I handed her the exact amount of mora

"Thank you. Have a nice day" I said as I waved goodbye

I walked up the stairs and saw a fountain up ahead

'Huh, looks like I'm close to the headquarters' I thought and as I got closer, I saw Jean talking to someone

'Huh? Who is Jean talking to?' I asked myself

"Ceres!" I heard someone calling my name, I turned around and saw both Aether and Paimon

"Aether, Paimon. Welcome back" I said

"How was your mission with Kaeya? He didn't try to do anything funny, right?" Aether asked

"It was good, and no he didn't do anything funny" I said and I realized something, Diluc didn't tell me about the Abyss Mages. I should ask him next time I see him

"Hey, isn't that Jean?" Paimon asked

"Yeah. Let's wait for her to finish" I said and I noticed Jean's expression, she looked agitated

'What is that person saying that's making Jean look so upset?' I asked myself, once we sat down by a nearby bench, Paimon noticed the bouquet in my arms

"Oooh! Such pretty flowers!" Paimon said

"Did someone buy them for you?" Aether asked looking a bit nervous

"No. I bought them when I got back" I said and Aether let out a breath of relief

"What are these flowers called?" Paimon asked

"They're Cecilia flowers. The Anemo God, Barbatos told me that he likes these kind of flowers" I said

"Told you? You met him before?" Aether asked

"Yes. Way before the Archon War happened" I said

"Wait! So you met the Seven Archons?!" Paimon asked

"That's correct. I met the Archons of Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro and Cryo when I was a child" I said

"Did your predecessor meet them too?" Aether asked

"Actually, no. That was the one thing I never understand, but they told me to keep our meetings a secret" I said

"Hmmm... Now Paimon wonders why they told you that" Paimon said

While we were chatting, we started to hear the conversation between Jean and the person

"...which is what has brought us to this point in the first place. If you are unable to promptly deal with the Stormterror threat, then leave the defense of Mondstadt to the Fatui. We can put an end to Mondstadt's dragon issues. All we need to do is bring that monster to the-"
