Hello all, Crossfield here - life has been busy hasn't it? 

With 5.0 now here and I'm somewhat on a limbo - I kinda have to find a way to get to the game and hopefully in there before things really went sideway.

Also in this chapter, there gonna be a few character that make a physically cameo, and mention by name although it will be seen briefly they are gonna make a full appearance on a certain event and date that will allow them to joined fully.

With that out of the way, let's get in to it.

The scene opens at the Hotel Debour in Fontaine the city, where Aether along with Paimon have a sit down with their company here at the lobby-lounge area.

"That's all to it for the tour in Fontaine - I do hope that it's to your liking, Nahida." Aether said to one of the companies that he had here. For him he have went through a lot after the last time he visited Epidaurus, with memory of that event intact while other and Paimon have a blurred memory of it which is better than a mind wipe.

"Hehe, It's nice to be out and visit other nations - I couldn't imagine what it would be until I signed up for Alliance citizenship and you came along." The view widened to show who he was company with - on his right was Nahida and on his left was Wanderer, who acted as her emissary.

"Still, with the recent event that happened - I believe making an immediate return to Sumeru is advisable." Aether suggested with Wanderer scoffing at the idea. 

"Tch! What makes you even say that - all you did is prolong the inevitable." Wanderer said remarked at the idea.

"I know but to me doing that gives a chance to anyone or other who will." Aether counter while in the foreground Paimon is eating every pastry on the table.

"Excuse me, Mister Aether?" A sound of a man came and Aether turned to see a suited man with sunglasses standing beside his chair.

"Yes, something I can help you." Aether asked as he turned to the suited man.

"Well, sir there is a letter addressed to you, and it's from the Steambird." The suited man answered.

"I see, thank you for bringing my attention to it." Aether said, thanking the man as he handed the letter envelope and walked away. Using the table knife - Aether opened a letter which is a wax seal with Fontaine city logos and a Steambird stamp.

Upon opening it - Aether finds two pieces of paper, one is from Charlotte and another is in a very familiar handwriting font. "It's from Charlotte." He said avoiding the other paper.

"Hm..." Nahida took a moment to look at Aether and quickly did a mind read. 'He receives something and it's more than that, might be best to wait it out.' She thought about it.

The scene changes to the outside of the hotel and Aether walking alone and following the letter instructions sees a man in a black coat with a hand in a pocket standing as if waiting for someone.

"You find it then, did you." The man said as the traveler stopped right beside him with few meters away.

"Did, 'cause you sent us off in a collapsing wormhole with a single used wayfinder. Crossfield." Aether retorted back.

The scene changes from behind to the front and reveals a new appearance of the overseer of Epidaurus. Face the same with different been his suits.
