Aether, the enigmatic traveler who arrived in Teyvat, was on a quest to find his sister. But what if his journey held a far greater purpose? What if it was destined to awaken the forgotten memories of his past-a past that could crown him as the new...
After the chaotic surge of power subsided, Aether stood still, feeling the remnants of his transformation. His body hummed with energy, an intensity that pulsed beneath his skin. He glanced down at himself, taking in the changes-the heightened power coursing through him, the new strength in his limbs. Determination etched across his features as he realized just how far he had come. He would make sure those responsible for his suffering would pay.
Paimon, watching him with awe, couldn't help but smile as she approached him. Her eyes sparkled with admiration, her voice gentle but filled with pride.
"You've unlocked it," she said softly, her words carrying a deep sincerity. "I've been waiting for this moment, for so long. And now, the power is yours... you've even tapped into something extra."
Aether frowned slightly, still adjusting to the new sensation, though her words piqued his curiosity.
"What do you mean? You knew this would happen?" he asked, his voice calm but inquisitive, trying to grasp the full extent of what had just occurred.
Paimon nodded, her expression softening as she looked at him. "Yes. Besides my mission to find you... there's more. A deeper reason for all of this. But now that you've unlocked your true potential, I can finally tell you everything." She paused, glancing up as the clouds began to part. "It looks like the rain has stopped." Her gaze shifted back to him, and she offered a small, knowing smile. "But before I explain, can you try to power down?"
Aether glanced at himself, noticing the shimmering white and yellow aura still surrounding him, particles dancing in the air like fireflies. He took a deep breath, focusing on calming the storm inside him. Slowly, the aura faded, though his hair remained golden and his eyes remained silver, and his transformed features held steady. His power hadn't fully receded-it had become a part of him.
Paimon's eyes widened in surprise, marveling at what she saw. "Incredible... it seems like this is your new base form." She thought to herself. "Even without the aura, your appearance hasn't reverted... you're still in that heightened state."
As the last droplets of rain fell, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, bathing them both in its warm glow. Paimon's eyes met Aether's, and for a brief moment, she was captivated.
His transformation had enhanced every aspect of him-his body was now leaner, more muscular, his stance strong and confident his height tall. His facial features had matured, and the golden hair framed his face like a crown.

She couldn't help but blush, feeling her heart race as she took in his appearance. The rain had soaked through his clothes, emphasizing his chiseled form even more.
"Dammit..." she thought, biting her lip. "I didn't realize he could be this... hot. If I keep staring, I might not be able to control myself."
Aether, sensing something off, glanced over at her. "Paimon? Is everything alright?" His voice was laced with confusion, though there was a softness in his tone, noticing her flushed cheeks.
