"-A vision is proof that the gods acknowledge your strength." (Y/n) was currently explaining what was a vision is all about, seeing how The Outlander asked what was the glowing blue ornament with the symbol of water that was attached on the fabric of her dress. "It allows a user to wield one of the elements of the world. Only a few are vision holders."

"I see. I think I understand it." The blonde nodded.

"So the gods recognised your strength. Are you really that strong?!" Paimon asked, seemingly facinated. "Can you make huge waves to drown your enemies?! Oooh, Paimon is a little scared now that I think about it."

"I don't think I have that enough strength to create tsunamies, Paimon. I'm not the Overlord of the Vortex." (Y/n) sighed. "For I use my vision for the sake of others only. I would not do something rather reckless as cause chaos like that."

"That was just a guess you know!" Paimon pouted, before floating up ahead. Now on a cliff above the marvelous view of Starfell Valley, the floating guide pointed towards a statue in the middle of a lake. "That's a statue of seven! There are a few of these statues scattered across the land to show the seven's protection over the world."

"That is the statue of Barbatos, the god of wind." (Y/n) added. "Barbatos is the god of freedom, and Mondstadt is the city under his protection. But I could not see him being the same god who you're searching for. Barbatos is a free spirited archon, he would not dare to do something as taking your sister away."

"Paimon think so too but whether or not Paimon will take you to the anemo god and there's a reason why~" Paimon stated as she began leading the traveler and the former adeptus to the Starfell Lake where the Statue of the seven, Barbatos stood.

The Huli Jing went on ahead, walking on the water as if if was nothing. This caused her two companions to gawked in shock. Paimon being the first one to return back to reality and demanded. "H-how are you doing that?! Walking on water like you're just walking on grass!"

"Perks of having a vision." A mischevious glint was visible on her eyes as she glance back with an amused smirk. "Come on now, Traveler. We're wasting precious time."

Unfortunately for The Traveler, he couldn't walk like how (Y/n) did so he had to swim. Now Reaching the statue he looked at it in wonder and curiosity.

"Touch the statue." (Y/n) instructed. "Perhaps you may find something rather useful on your journey."

He nodded, slowly walking towards the statue and gently placed his hand. Thats when he felt it, the element of wind.

The orb that Barbatos was holding glow a bright teal as a soon as he touched the statue. The symbol of Anemo flew from the orb into his clothes. His once dull accessories glow teal, showing that he was now able to use the power of anemo. The male stared at his hands in awe, feeling his newly found power.

(Y/n) smiled as Paimon approached him, asking whenether he felt the power of the wind and about the statue. She then look back to the city of freedom where their next destination will be.

It won't be long until the dragon of the four winds attack Mondstadt.

"(Y/n)! Come on!" Paimon called out, waving her hands up, trying to get the hydro user's attention. "We're going to Mondstadt to ask around for The Traveler's sister!"

"Ofcourse." (Y/n) nodded and began following the pair.

But then she finally noticed, looking down to her hand, she sees the traveler's gloved hand, interwinded with hers. Looking back to the blond, he didn't seems bothered at all. This made the corner of her lip twitch upwards.
