Divine City: Genshin Isekai

The Witch of the Purple Rose

The howls of a dragon in pain echo through the streets of Mondstadt.

Stormterror – the dragon that has been terrorizing the citizens it used to protect – was defeated by the blond traveler who sores above in the sky after the fight with the dragon. The dragon flees high into the sky, leaving the city with damaged buildings to be repaired; and just in time for me to finish my meal.

"Ah..." I placed the cup down and relaxed against the hard seat, "that was delicious!"

Looking around, the area was left with debris from the tornados and dragons wrath. I guide my head upwards to see Sirius gliding down to the City Square, where the Statue of Barbatos is.

...I need to make sure they're okay. Getting up and leaving the mora for the meal with an extra tip, I headed toward the Cathedral.

I ran past the folks leaving their homes to assess the damages to their residencies; some are in shambles. Skipping the flight of stairs to reach the top faster almost made me fall, but I luckily managed to catch myself. Reaching my destination, I see Amber's worried face as she sees Sirius's descent.

"Amber–!" I managed to say her full name before the damned ringing in my ears rendered me unable to speak anymore.

This is getting repetitive...

Sirius lands on the ground as Amber, and Paimon's appearance from her pocket dimension, surround him asking if he wasn't injured. He reassured them he was fine with that smile of his.

Loud clapping came behind him making them turn.

"Well, look at that. You've actually got the power to go up against the dragon..." a tall and fine man with dark complexions said, impressed.

"Are you a new ally... or a new storm?" his eyes—eye—pierced through the soul of the young boy.

Hmm, he looks familiar. Where have I seen that eyepatch?

Having my body back to myself, I made my way to the group.

"Sirius, Paimon, Amber! Are you guys alright?" I asked once I was close enough.

"[Name]! Where have you been?!" Paimon checked her up and down.

"I was eating," I stated.

"Eat!? At a time like this!? Not even Paimon can stomach food during a disaster!"

"Stormterror...is attacking Mondstadt itself!" Amber was worried. If the dragon were to come back, they don't know if they can defeat him again. "Kaeya, you came at the right time. We must..."

"Ah-ah, ap. Slow down there, Outrider. Are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?"

"Oh... Sorry. I got frantic," she turned to me, "as I explained to Paimon and the Traveler, this is Kaeya, our Cavalry Captain."
