Equine Impact: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind

Knights of Günstig

In the office, waits the Acting Grand Master, Night Glider. She wears a pair of gold earrings, sleeveless blue button-up under a black vest with a long blue tailcoat attached to it, a pair of separate black sleeves, a short blue and gold cloak attached to a white collar, blue tights embroidered with a gold diamond-dot pattern, a pair of white high-heeled knee-high boots, and a pair of white gauntlets. There is a golden Knights of Günstig on the front of her vest. A bottom part of her hair was tied in a tiny braid. She has the same charm Sunset and Soarin has, but its symbol was a cresent moon surrounded with two feathers and and the smaller charm underneath is the same element you have obtained, by looking at the symbol with wings on it.

She keeps watching over the grandfather clock that was between two big shelves filled with a lot of books. She was accompanied by someone in her office. It was a tall cat with a black, gold and red velvet coat jacket, with one arm inserted on its sleeve, formal pants, and has a belt attached with tasles and small lamps, and wears a small hat. A gold orb with a diamond symbol hangs on the lock of his jacket.

"Night Glider, what's the hurry? I thought we agreed to meet them here." The man spoke.

"There have been sightings of Sturmterror outside the city. Once we meet, we must..."

"Relax. I'll lend a hand when the time comes." the cat said.

Soarin immediately comes in. "Night Glider, I've brought them.". The cat and Night Glider turned to them. Soarin explained about you and I and the purpose of being here in Hiersindwir.

"...And once it was over I brought them straight here." Soarin said.

"Hiersindwir welcomes you, windborne travelers. I am Night Glider, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Günstig. This is Capper, our resident Librarian."

"Oh! Are you sweeties here to help us out? You're both so adorable! Sadly, the timing is regrettable..." Capper said. "Sturmterror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since its recent resurgence. Simply put, Hiersindwir's elemental sphere and ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten. For a mage, it couldn't get much worse. My fur is one elemental particle away from a full-blown breakout."

"If it weren't for this interference, the Knights of Favonius would have better ways to help you than just putting up missing person posters." Night Glider said. "We simply ask that you repose in Hiersindwir while we help you seek out your sibling."

"Guess we leave it up to you then. Where's the inn?" you said.

"Hey! Don't be such a slug! We should be a part of this too!"

"I really should help out as well."

"Deco will help too!"

"Good. In that case we need a plan." Soarin said.

"With Sturmterror now directly attacking Hiersindwir, we may have an opportunity to cut this problem off at the source." Night Glider said. "Capper has revealed the sources of Sturmterror's power with her detection magic."

"Is that so?"

"They're located in the abandoned Four Zephyrs' Temples." Capper said. "Sturmterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to it drawing power from the temples.

"Our objective is to deal with three of the four temples. I trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three." Night Glider said.

"Deco doesn't." I said.

"It must be a local thing...We'll ask later..." you said.

"Knights of Günstig, time is against us. The storm is rampant. There is no point in maintaining a defensive position." Night Glider said. "Alright. We need to take initiative and act before the situation escalates.". All of you walked out of the head quarters, and Sunset, Soarin, and Capper were divided to go to each temple.

"You're not bad with that wind glider. Your gliding style seems familiar..." Soarin said.

"How'd you get your eye patch?" you asked.

"My eye patch? Wanna hear my story, eh? I didn't have time to introduce myself properly... Well, it wasn't on my mind to begin with." he said, trying to get some words. "Ehe... My apologies. I'm Kaeya, Cavalry Captain for the Knights of Günstig. We can talk more after we get things sorted."

"Why is Night Glider the Acting Grand Master?"

"The Grand Master is currently off leading an expedition, so the Master, Night Glider, has stepped in to oversee the Knights while he's gone. Hence, you'll hear many refer to her as the Acting Grand Master. When the Grand Master left, he took the vast majority of our knights with him, leaving the Acting Grand Master with far more responsibility and stress. Come to think of it, it must have been difficult for Night Glider."

"Goodbye." you said.

"See you later then." Soarin said, as he headed of to one of the temples.

You then walked to Capper.

"I'm Capper, the librarian. Do you need anything, cutie?" Capper said with a slight seductive voice.

"I'd like to know more about monsters." you said.

"The monsters out in the wild? We've got many resources here in the library. Making good use of elemental advantages is the key to winning any battle. By the way, would you be interested in having a part-time job here? We need people to... need people for doing... We just need more people."

"How do we fight Sturmterror?"

"A way to fight against Stormterror..." Capper said. "I'm sorry, but there's no way to do it alone. Judging by the level of its Anemo power, it's definitely not an ordinary creature. I could teach you some elemental basics, so you'll have an idea of what I'm talking about."

"Goodbye."

"Heading out? See you in a bit." Capper said as he left for the temple.

You then turned to Night Glider.

"Thank you for accepting our invitation, traveler." Night Glider said.

"How do we fight Sturmterror?"

"Its change in size and power really is suspicious. But for the Knights of Günstig, our priority is to deal with the aftermath of this attack. The Grand Master entrusted the Knights of Günstig to me. I cannot let him or the people of Hiersindwir down. I must get to the bottom of this..."

"Are all the knights as... "strict" as Sunset?"

"I heard you and Outrider Sunset had a misunderstanding. Please forgive her. She was just doing her job. Talk to Sunset sometime. I'm sure you'll like how energetic she always is."

"Goodbye."

"Thanks again for your help, Traveler." Night Glider said,as she headed back to her desk.

You then went to Sunset.

"Wanna team up with me? Huh, I should warn you though, I don't slow down for anyone, greenhorn or otherwise." Sunset said.

"Night Glider seems to be pretty reliable." you said.

"With Night Glider by our side, nothing can stand in our way! ...At least, that's what I wanna say...But I can't keep spouting that same old line. She always dashes headlong into the heat of the battle, and we want her to take better care of herself. I really hope that one day I can look Night Glider in the eye and tell her she doesn't need to worry anymore, because we have her back... " Sunset said.

"You seem pretty good with a wind glider." you said.

"As a novice within the Knights of Günstig, your understanding of the wind is absolutely crucial. Leave the advanced wind glider training to me!"

"Goodbye."

"Let's all do our best to defeat Sturmterror!"
