Finally, the Anemo Archon who opened his teal blue eyes, seeing a beautiful sky full of clouds. He layed down peacefully as his hand connected within the scale of the dragon.

" It's been a while since we flew like this together . . . Huh, Dvalin? " with a gentle voice he spoke, he reminisced the days when they, The Floret Archon, Anemo Archon, and the Dragon who protected Monstadt, would enjoy soaring above the sky.

" Just now . . . Why . . . Why did you not ask me to protect you like the last time? . . . " The dragon asked the bard who lays upon his back. He is aware that the (E/C) eyed girl is currently unconscious, thus letting her be and ask his questions to her when she is awake and well.

" Me not wanting you to listen to the Abyss Order, doesn't mean you have to listen to me . . . " Venti sat up, looking at the people that is within his eyesight, trailing unto the sleeping Floret Archon.

" Freedom, if demanded of you by an Archon is really no freedom at all " he spoke, feeling the guilt within him as he stares at our protagonist.

' Those signs . . . What we did to her . . . Gave her no Freedom at all . . . And here I am called as the God of Freedom . . . ' He raised both of his hands together, creating an orb of Anemo, as it flies towards the Dragon.

The orb dissolved, Dvalin's body glowed a hue of teal, he felt the power of Anemo coursing through his whole being.

Ain't it a deja vu for him? After all, this also happened when Sakuya or mostly known as (Y/N), had given Dvalin the blessing of Floret.

" Is this . . . The power of the Anemo Archon? . . . But I am no longer part of the Four Winds " the dragon spoke, questioning his worth to be once again part of the Four Winds that protected Monstadt.

The bard smiled, he truly knew that despite the havoc that has been caused by the dragon, Dvalin will always be one of the Four Winds. None can replace the one who saved the nation from the disasters of the past.

" Even if that's so, You still protected is regardless . . . Now, spread your wings of freedom and go with my blessing "

❝ And so, the Stormterror threat was quelled. I clarified the misunderstanding to the citizens of Mondstadt and let them know that they are safe. To them it seems Stormterror attacked Mondstadt out of nowhere and then vanished just as quickly. They must be finding the whole ordeal very confusing ❞

❝ However, winds change their course . . . Someday, They will blow towards a brighter future ❞

As the team went on separate ways, (Y/N), well, unconscious (Y/N) was brought to the Cathedral where the nuns takes care of her despite of being in a slumber. Enki and Rei were there by her side, with Rei healing her poisoned body while Enki protects the Archon from falling into the dark desires of what lurks behind her being.

The nuns adored the two Everlastings, giving them cookies and milk, well on Rei's case it would be grape juice, in which they thanked the nuns and enjoyed what has been offered to them.

The cathedral forbids anyone from entering the sacred place where the Floret Archon is recovering, it was commanded by the Acting Grand Master Jean, so no harm could be inflicted upon the Floret Archon who helped with the Stormterror problem.
