//------------------------------// // Episode 2: Rescuing Mondstadt // Story: Twilight Sparkle gets a Genshin Impact Season 1 // by MLPandMiraculousFanatic //------------------------------// After the five turned around they were all confused except for Amber and Rainbow as they all saw a brown guy with dark blue hair with a lighter blue streak, he even wore a black eyepatch, on his left eye, he has a purple blouse with white stretchbands and on top he wore a purple jacket with a black chest plate, he wore black pants with a brown belt on top which got down sideways and black shoes with brown belts as he began clapping slowly "Do you know that guy?" Twilight whispered to Rainbow "Yep, he's one of our leaders" Rainbow whispered back The guy then stopped right behind them "You both actually had the power to go up against the dragon, are you both a new ally... Or a new storm?" The leader asked "A new ally of course" Twilight answered Amber then began thinking in worry "Stormterror... Is attacking Mondstadt itself!" Amber said in worry "But you guys were able to beat him everytime" Rainbow reminded while going out of her bow "But this time it's different" Amber reminded "Well, true" Rainbow said Amber then turned to the leader "Kaeya, Lumine, Twilight, you've come at the right time, we must..." Amber started "Hold on Amber, are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us?" Kaeya asked "Oh... Right, this is Kaeya, our Cavalry Captain" Amber explained "That's right and thus he's the leader!" Rainbow said "Remember Rainbow, Jean's our leader" Kaeya reminded "True, true but you're also a captain so it makes sense to just call you our leader" Rainbow explained "Anyways, these three are travelers from afar, Twilight, Lumine and Paimon..." Amber explained "From afar? Is that all we know of them?" Kaeya thought "Long story short..." Amber started [A few minutes later] After the group finished their story Kaeya began thinking "I see, welcome to Mondstadt though you haven't arrived at the best of times I'm afraid, I understand the anguish of being separated from family and friends, I'm not really sure why you're looking for the Anemo God but everyone has their secrets, right?" Kaeya explained "O-Of course" Twilight answered worriedly Kaeya then began chuckling a bit "Haha, relax! I won't press you for more" Kaeya said "That'd be wise" Twilight said with a smile "Anyways, first and foremost, on behalf of the Knights of Favonius I would like to extend our thanks to you two for your help just now" Kaeya thanked "No worries" Twilight said "I agree, we couldn't just leave the situation to fester" Lumine agreed "Your fight to defend the city against the dragon just now was witnessed by no small number of citizens" Kaeya explained "We just arrived and we already gained the reputation!" Twilight said between giggles "Yeah, nothing we didn't want!" Paimon agreed "And because of that the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius is also very interested in meeting you three and formally invites the three of you to our headquarters" Kaeya explained "Then let's go there" Twilight said "And Rainbow, she even got a task for you" Kaeya said "Sweet! Let's get going then!" Rainbow said The six then ran towards one of the nearby buildings in the streets as Twilight, Paimon and Lumine walked ahead before they saw Rainbow flying towards the door in an unusual normal speed before opening it "This seems to be the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, let's head in" Paimon suggested The five then entered the building as Rainbow walked forward to help them find the room Meanwhile a girl in blonde hair, black, white and red chest plate with puffy sleeves, purple gloves, purple jacket and white pants and white shoes with golden stars was waiting patiently in her office before looking at the clock and when she noticed it was time she stood up and and walked towards the door ready to welcome them until a girl with light brown hair, a purple hat with a black belt, black and white skirt with a purple cape over it, light to dark black pants and black and white heels turned to her "Jean, what's the hurry? I thought we agreed to meet them here" The hatted girl reminded "There have been sightings of Stormterror outside the city, once we meet we must..." Jean started Lisa then walked a bit closer to the stair railing as she puts a hand on the railing "Relax, I'll lend a hand when the time comes" The hatted girl said Just then the door was heard opening as Kaeya turned to Jean "Jean, I've brought them" Kaeya announced The group then turned to the duo and waved making the hatted girl and Jean turn to them as Lisa went closer to the group before Twilight began speaking "Hey! Sorry for the late timing, we were in a battle" Twilight explained "A battle?" Jean asked "Let me explain..." Kaeya suggested [A few minutes later] "...And once it was over I brought them straight here" Kaeya explained Jean then began thinking before turning to the trio "Mondstadt welcomes you windborne travelers, I'm Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, this is Lisa, our resident Librarian" Jean introduced "Librarian?!" Twilight gasped in shock and excitement "Yeah, what's wrong with---" Lisa started "Ooh! I'm so excited to hear about all your story recommendations, I mean, I LOOOVE books!" Twilight explained excitedly "Why thank you, I'll be sure to recommend some stories when the attacks are over" Lisa said "Amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Twilight thanked excitedly Lumine then playfully punched her in the side making her stop and remember her mission as she cleared her throat "My apologies, she gets distracted easily when somebody mentions books" Lumine apologized "Hehe, no worries, I get it, some other residents are like that too and won't even leave for the rest of the day until it's closing time" Lisa said before clearing her throat "Anyways back on the topic of hand, are you three here to help us out?" Lisa asked "Of course are" Lumine answered "I mean, I love to help everypony back in Equestria" Twilight explained "Equestria? Where's that?" Jean asked "It's her world where she lives, she came here by portal alongside Lumine according to them" Paimon explained "Yeah, and it looked like a block" Lumine answered "Huh? That's weird, anyways the timing of your arrival was regrettable..." Lisa explained "What happened?" Twilight asked "Stormterror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since it's recent resurgence" Lisa explained "Can you please put it simply for the little ones?" Rainbow asked "Hey!" Paimon asked "Sure, simply put Mondstadt's elemental sphere and ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten" Lisa explained "That's not simple to understand but this'll have to do" Rainbow said "For a mage it couldn't get much worse, my skin is one elemental particle away from a full-blown break out" Lisa explained "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" Jean said worriedly "How'd you know?!" Twilight asked "It's a long story" Jean explained "Still, we simply ask that you repose in Mondstadt while we help you seek out your friends and brothers" Jean suggested "We really should help out as well" Lumine said "I agree, we're a team!" Twilight agreed "Paimon will help too!" Paimon agreed "I will especially help as well, I mean, you need a knight to help you stay out of danger" Rainbow said "Good, in that case we need a plan" Kaeya said "With Stormterror now directly attacking Mondstadt we may have an opportunity to cut this problem off at the source" Jean suggested "But how?" Twilight asked "Lisa has revealed the sources of Stormterror's power with her detection magic" Jean answered "Is that so?" Kaeya asked "They're located in the abandoned Four Winds' Temples" Lisa explained "Why?" Lumine asked "Stormterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to it drawing power from the temples" Lisa explained "Our objective is to deal with three of the four temples, I trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three" Jean reminded "Paimon doesn't" Paimon said "Same here" Twilight agreed "It must be a local thing" Lumine explained "Knights of Favonius, time is against us, the storm is rampant, there is no point in maintaining a defensive position" Jean reminded "Spoken by a true leader!" Rainbow said while slamming her sword's tip on the ground "Alright, we need to take initiative and act before the situation escalates" Jean reminded Afterwards the group splitted off as Twilight took to the left temple, Lumine and Paimon to the middle one and Rainbow to the right one [Twilight's Sparkle's POV] Twilight ran as fast as she could to Amber and when she arrived Amber turned to her "This is it, one of the deserted temples of the Four Winds" Amber explained "It really looks deserted" Twilight said "Well, that's because these temples have been left to waste for years now, the people of Mondstadt almost never come here and because of that there's a chance there's a monster nest or a hilichurl camp in there" Amber explained "If that happens you can count on me to beat it!" Twilight explained "Yeah" Amber said before sighing in worry "Even Stormterror has given up on it's own temple" Amber said sadly "That's horrible! Good, but horrible" Twilight said sadly "Yes, I agree" Amber agreed "Still, is Stormterror one of the four winds?" Twilight asked "I also find it hard to accept but... Stormterror was once one of the four winds" Amber explained "Wait, seriously?!" Twilight asked in shock and disbelief Just then a weird gust of wind began blowing "Wait... Did you just feel that?" Amber asked "Yeah, a little but what was that?" Twilight asked "The wind here... Felt a little off a moment ago..." Amber answered "Right" Twilight said "Let's go in and take a look, Twilight, be careful, the dragon's power is disturbing this area" Amber reminded Afterwards the duo ran inside the temple and when they did they entered before they walked across the area before they heard grumbling making them turn to the stairs where they saw some hilichurls who was guarding the place "I have an idea" Amber said Amber then used her flaming hand to burn the arrow before she shot it right at the hilichurl causing it to incinerate as it then rushed towards her "Now!" Amber called out Twilight then teleported high up in to the air before slamming face first into the ground causing her eyes to spin "Ugh! I'm not gonna do that again!" Twilight said before shaking the dizziness away The two then looked around and saw more surrounding them "I guess you made them angry" Amber said "I can fix that!" Twilight said Twilight then used her magic to make a large electric barrier to appear around them which got bigger causing the hilichurls to be pushed before being sent flying against the wall and being crushed into nothing but dust while Amber only looked in awe before she stoppped the barrier "That was amazing!" Amber said in shock "Thanks Amber, now come on! We still need to run a long way!" Twilight reminded The duo then began running before they saw a hole in the ground "Oh no! What now?!" Twilight asked "I know!" Amber answered Amber then teleported her flaming wings which made Twilight look in awe "Wow!" Twilight called out in awe "Hop on!" Amber suggested Twilight then did so before the two flew up as Amber tried to make sure they didn't fall to the floor until they reached the wind blower which caused them to go up making them safely land on the other side of the hole to where Twilight got off of her "That was amazing!" Twilight said "Yeah, all we need now is for you to teleport us out later!" Amber said "Will do!" Twilight said The two then continued to run only for them to smell something weird "'Dragon's breath! Is that where the power is coming from?" Amber asked "I don't know, Jean's the only one who would know it... And maybe Lisa too" Twilight explained "True, now let's smash it!" Amber suggested Twilight then rushed to the source and used her magic to break it but when she was about too some creatures dropped down "Twilight! Look out!" Amber called out "Why?" Twilight asked Twilight then looked up only to see monsters approaching before Amber jumped in with a kick causing them to fly backwards "You handle the stone while I wrestle these guys" Amber said "Good idea" Twilight said Twilight then rushed back to the stone while Amber cracked her muscles before a monster appeared which caused her to grab it by the wrist making her spin it before sending it towards a few other monsters sending them flying a bit before she felt a monster appearing behind her which she smacked with the palm of her hand before doing a sweeping kick sending the foe falling to the ground as she incinerated it before turning to Twilight "How's it going for now?" Amber asked Twilight was then seen shooting more lasers as she had already made a large crack "I'm doing it!" Twilight said A monster then appeared making Amber do a charging kick which send the foe flying into the wall "There we go" Amber said She then approached the unconscious foes and incinerated them and right when she did Twilight fully cracked the stone causing the duo to cheer before Twilight turned to Amber "Whew! That was amazing! I'm a legendary saver now!" Twilight said in happiness "Same, but I'm tired now" Amber said "Same, I never used the same spell at the same time" Twilight agreed "But at least this way we've helped Jean out" Amber said "Yeah" Twilight said "In the past we were able to defend the city and keep it safe, this of course is mostly thanks to Jean" Amber said "Wow! I didn't know! Is she really that powerful?" Twilight asked "Yeah but now with Stormterror directly attacking the city itself..." Amber started "It's barelyenough" Twilight followed "Yeah, but I need to remember this phrase 'The winds change, so too should our tactics' and you should too" Amber suggested "Did you come up with it?" Twilight asked "No, it's what Lisa likes to say" Amber answered "Oh okay" Twilight said "Speaking of which, the Four Winds we were discussing earlier... If you want to learn more about our history you can ask Lisa" Amber suggested "Why? Don't you know history?" Twilight asked "I'm not saying I don't know our history! It's just... I mean... A librarian is supposed to be more knowledgeable than an outrider, right?" Amber asked "Yeah but I'm also a hero and a librarian in my world so I thought it was the same here, so my fault for that" Twilight apologized "No worries, I mean, Lisa's quite the fighter too" Amber explained "True, now let's get out of here" Twilight said "I agree but how can you do that?" Amber asked "I just need to picture the entrance" Twilight answered "Oh okay, go ahead then" Amber said "Just hold onto me so I can teleport you at the same time" Twilight suggested Amber then went to sit on Twilight's back before Twilight teleported the two out of the room [Lumine's POV] While Twilight and Amber were in their respective mission Lumine and Paimon were on their way to Kaeya to where he crossed his arms in relief "You've arrived" Kaeya said "Sorry about that, we didn't know the way for a moment" Lumine said "No worries" Kaeya said before he smelled something "Come closer" Kaeya suggested as the trio went closer to the door "Can you smell that?" Kaeya asked "It's the smell of burnt Pyro Slimes" Lumine explained "Yeah, I can smell that too" Paimon agreed "Something must have happened in the temple" Kaeya explained "Do you know what happened?" Lumine asked "No, though I can imagine there will be slimes, hilichurls and... Whatever is giving Stormterror extra power" Kaeya explained "That's not good" Lumine said "So will it still be lively in there besides those enemies?" Paimon asked "Oh yes, it is going to be lively in there indeed!" Kaeya explained "So will it be dangerous?" Lumine asked "I hope not for you as you're both quite the brave ones, aren't you two?" Kaeya asked "Of course we are, I mean, Lumine singlehandedly defeated some hilichurls alongside Twilight!" Paimon answered "I mean yeah but it was all thanks to Amber's help we were able to stop them" Lumine reminded "Sure, sure" Paimon said "Still, it's a pity that the temple of the wolf has been desturbed by such an atrocity" Kaeya said in disbelief "I agree" Lumine agreed "Let's head in, I'm sure we've got some bigger fish to fry with that dragon!" Paimon said "Yeah but unfortunately no one makes offerings to the Four Winds anymore, yet the old winds never vanish so we need to clear out the temples for the Four Winds" Kaeya explained Afterwards the trio entered the temple as they went closer to the entrance where Kaeya turned to them "Let me show you how the Knights of Favonius conquer our adversaries" Kaeya suggested "Alright, go ahead" Lumine said The trio then began walking until they saw some hilichurls which Lumine wanted to fight until Kaeya froze them with his ice magic before he pushed them onto their sides causing them to break into pieces and when he was done he began walking as Lumine and Paimon followed after him "Girls... Unless I'm mistaken you don't seem to have a Vision?" Kaeya asked "No we don't and even if I did, I don't know how to activate it" Lumine answered "And I'm just a tour guide and cheerleader" Paimon explained "Then how exactly is it that you're able to channel elemental energy?" Kaeya asked "Did you tell him Paimon?!" Lumine asked angrily "A little" Paimon answered nervously Lumine then sighed before turning back to Kaeya "I actually touched one of the Statues of the Seven which gave me some special abilities" Kaeya answered "Yeah, it was also a very strange occurence" Paimon explained "I got it" Kaeya said The duo then noticed a few spikes in the ground "Oh no! How do we get over?!" Paimon asked "You can teleport, remember?" Lumine asked "Yeah but Paimon was talking about you guys" Paimon reminded "True" Lumine said "To answer your question though Paimon, I can just freeze the spikes so that nobody will get hurt" Kaeya explained "Oh okay" Paimon said Kaeya then did a typical Elsa thing and moved his hands from back to front causing a path of ice to appear freezing every spike in it's path which the group then went over while Kaeya began speaking "Speaking of, did you know?" Kaeya asked "Did we know what?" Lumine asked "Stormterror was once one of the Four Winds" Kaeya explained "Really?!" Lumine asked "How?!" Paimon asked afterwards "I'm not aware of the exact details, if you're interested you can ask the Acting Grand Master about it" Kaeya suggested "Will do" Lumine said The duo then continued to walk as they walked on a few stairs to the other side of the temple before they arrived and noticed the source of the smell "Is that the thing that Stormterror is using to gain it's power?" Paimon asked "Seems probable, let's deal with it" Kaeya suggested "Okay" Lumine said The trio then approached the stone and when they arrived Kaeya shot an ice magic at the stone before he alongside Lumine and Paimon used all their strength to push it off of the pedestal causing it to roll into a wall, crash and break making the group sigh in relief before Kaeya applauded the duo "Bravo! What a performance! You are to my surprise a well trained knight" Kaeya applauded "What makes you think that?" Lumine asked "The strength you just had was a sight to behold" Kaeya explained "Thanks, that's nice of you to say..." Lumine thanked "Haha, I see you already have the knightly virtue of modesty, stories of your heroic deeds to save Mondstadt from destruction shall be known throughout the City of Freedom well into the future" Kaeya explained with a smile before he had an idea "Please do visit me at our headquarters when you have the time, I also know a lovely tavern if that's more your thing" Kaeya suggested "I will keep thart in mind" Lumine said "It's quite rewarding, no?" Kaeya asked as he looked away from them and began wiping the dust off of him "We've seized the first temple from Stormterror's group!" Paimon cheered excitedly Kaeya than turned to the duo "I can take care of the rest here, you go take care of other things while you're at it" Kaeya suggested "Bye bye!" Paimon waved The duo then left the room while Kaeya could only look at them in happiness while waving until he heard a voice from behind him "There's no way hilichurls organized an ambush like this yourself, not with their limited mental capacity" The person reminded Just then a black and white like gnome floated over to him while chuckling "Thus YOU were behind this" Kaeya reminded angrily "Gohus, Chiso Vonph" The black and white gnome chanted Blue streams of magic then floated into the air only for four pieces of flames flew towards him as somebody then grabbed the gnome before spinning him and throwing them into the ground before it flew back into the air making the person rush over to him and battle it only for it to get knocked out as the guy stood at the ready before turning to Kaeya in disbelief "Knights of Favonius... Always so inefficient" The guy said in disbelief Kaeya then applauded while slowly turning around "Agree to disagree but your involvement in this just made things a whole lot more interesting" Kaeya explained [Rainbow Dash's POV] Meanwhile Rainbow Dash used whatever she could to fly as fast as she could to Lisa and when she arrived she went to stand near Lisa "Hey Rainbow" Lisa greeted "Hey Lisa!" Rainbow greeted "Are you going to help me out too?" Lisa asked "Of course, I mean we're the Knights of Favonius" Rainbow remined "That's kind of you, thanks" Lisa thanked "Now when do we start?" Rainbow asked "Now but don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything" Lisa suggested "Relax, I'm just a trainee but I'm more powerful than you think" Rainbow reminded "If you say so" Lisa said "Now why would an egghead be at the ruins...?" Rainbow asked "First of all don't call me an egghead and second of all that's a good question" Lisa answered "Can you answer please?" Rainbow asked "Well, because Jean trusts me so you should as well" Lisa suggested "Of course, I've always trusted her with my life!" Rainbow said "Alright, then let's go" Lisa said Afterwards the duo went into the temple as they went up the stairs until Lisa stopped and turned to Rainbow "I guess I could give this a go" Lisa suggested "What do you wanna do?" Rainbow asked "I wanna use my magic of course" Lisa said "Ugh! For the last time magic does not exist only lightning, water, fire and any other stuff" Rainbow reminded "Remember, do not judge a book by it's cover" Lisa said "Ugh! Whatever, if you say so" Rainbow said in disbelief The two then ran deeper into the temple only for them to see a slime roaming "Leave it to me" Lisa suggested Lisa then opened up her spell book and charged a large burst of lightning at the slime causing it to fall back and incinerate a bit as she shot more lightnings like a spider web before it melted into nothing but sap "Wow! Amazing!" Rainbow said "Thanks" Lisa said "Guess magic wasn't a fairy tale after all" Rainbow said "Of course it wasn't now come on" Lisa said The duo then began running again as they defeated more and more enemies with either lightning or Rainbow's sword before they arrived at the other side of the temple where they noticed the stone as Lisa turned to it "Break it and we can head home and relax" Lisa ordered "The thought of putting my hooves up and relax has me all fired up!" Rainbow answered Rainbow then rushed to the gem and prepped her rear hooves to kick before she did it and when she did she turned to her partner happily only to see her thinking "What's wrong?" Rainbow asked "It's nothing, it's just, the dragon of the east, lion of the south, wolf of the north, falcon of the west, they are all the Four Winds of Mondstadt, affiliated with Barbatos, the God of Anemo" Lisa explained "I know all about them, even their names, except for the dragon, what's it's name? They never told me in the training program" Rainbow asked "The dragon of the East, Stormterror you mean?" Lisa asked "Yes?" Rainbow asked "It's real name is Dvalin" Lisa answered "Oh okay, then why did nobody tell me about them?" Rainbow asked "Well, most people in Mondstadt seem to have forgotten that in all this 'Stormterror' business" Lisa answered "Oh okay" Rainbow realized "So now you know what Stormterror's real name is and that he's able to channel the Four Winds' power" Lisa said "Yep, I remember it now, thanks for telling me but I do have one more question?" Rainbow asked "Yes?" Lisa asked "Why is it channeling the Four Winds' powers?" Rainbow asked "Because it has been consuming itself from the beginning" Lisa answered "Why would it go to such lengths?" Rainbow asked "Because of hatred I presume" Lisa answered "Hatred...?" Rainbow asked in confusion "Hatred for Mondstadt, hatred drove it to become something more powerful than the wind itself, to become Stormterror" Lisa answered "But why would one of the Four Winds hate the city it was supposed to protect?" Rainbow asked "... As a child of Mondstadt it's something that's really hard to say aloud" Lisa answered worriedly "Oh, I get it" Rainbow said sadly Lisa then gave Rainbow a book about Stormterror's story "Here, take this, it's a very old story from more than a century ago" Lisa said [Twilight, Lumine and Paimon's POV] After the trio got outside they saw the clouds from where they were to Mondstadt slowly dissipating as they could hear people making sounds of relief in their minds as they even noticed tornadoes disappearing and when that was done Paimon turned to Lumine and Twilight "Phew, it's finally done" Paimon said in relief "I agree, me and Amber had a long battle and before you ask why I look dizzy, it's because I jumped like an anvil at some monsters" Twilight explained "Well, me and Paimon were busy handling some strong stones and spikes, we escaped of course didn't we Paimon?" Lumine asked "Of course did!" Paimon answered "That's so good to hear Paimon, so, did anybody learn something from your respective helpers, I didn't?" Twilight asked "Well, I did learn a bit about how my vision was supposed to come out and we even learned that Stormterror was one of the Four Winds" Lumine explained "Are you serious?! That has to be a joke!" Twilight said in disbelief "Believe me, Paimon didn't believe it at first but the more Paimon heard the more Paimon believed it, all we need now is Rainbow's story" Paimon said "Yeah, Kaeya also said we should meet him in the headquarters tomorrow so we should probably go there later" Paimon said "Good idea" Twilight said "Well, all that 'ley flow' and 'elemental lines' stuff we were going on about should hopefully be back to normal" Paimon said in relief "I agree" Twilight said "Same here" Lumine agreed "Wanna go back and see how the Knights are doing? Or if you have anything more interesting to do Paimon can come too!" Paimon said "Actually, I'm a bit tired so maybe we should go take a shut eye in an inn or hotel" Twilight said "I agree, we've had a long day" Lumine said "Alright then" Paimon said And with that the trio went back to Mondstadt as they went to buy a room and when they did they entered the room and prepared to go to bed until a knock was heard on the door "I'll go open it" Twilight said Twilight then approached the door and opened it only for her to see Rainbow standing in the doorway "Hey, can I have a talk with you girlss?" Rainbow asked "Oh of course, come on in" Twilight answered The duo then went into the room as Lumine and Paimon approached "Who is---" Paimon started before she noticed Rainbow "Oh, it's you!" Paimon said happily "Hey there, first of all, I wanted to say thank you for saving Mondstadt and believe me, I didn't trust you at first especially since you mentioned my name so fast but now that I saw you three save the day twice today I trust you" Rainbow said "I understand, we were meaning to ask you some questions too" Lumine explained "You were?" Rainbow asked "Of course, I mean, we didn't have so much time to chat before Stormterror's attack" Twilight explained "Well, that is true so what is it you wanted to ask?" Rainbow asked "First of all, when we hugged did you feel a familiar feeling?" Twilight asked "Now that you mention it, I did feel something but I don't know what it was, it felt like love and not stalkerish" Rainbow answered "Well, she did miss you after hers and Lumine's crash landing!" Paimon answered "Paimon!" Lumine called out angrily before turning to Rainbow "It's true though" Lumine said "Wait, so you two didn't forget me?" Rainbow asked "Of course not, I mean we were both saviors in Equestria alongside Pinkie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike and Starlight" Twilight answered "Yeah, Twilight was the one who summoned you all to help us stop an unknown god" Lumine explained "She did...?" Rainbow asked "Yes I did, why? Don't you remember?" Twilight asked "No, all I remember was waking up on the beach with a pony that looked just like you but when I stood up you were gone and all I saw was two people" Rainbow explained "You mean Amber and Kaeya?" Twilight asked "Yeah, they took me in, they gave me a new home and a new job as a Knight of Favonius" Rainbow explained "Wow! That must've been tough, how long ago was that?" Lumine asked "About a month or six ago" Rainbow answered "That's the same time I woke up" Twilight answered "So that explained why you were missing the second I woke up" Rainbow said "Yeah, I was going to the beach to was myself up as I was full of dirt, sorry about that Rainbow" Twilight said "Nah it's all right, I didn't remember you after all" Rainbow said "I get it, now for the second question, did you learn anything from Lisa?" Twilight asked "Oh yes, actually, I learned a lot!" Rainbow answered "Really? Explain" Paimon suggested excitedly "First off Stormterror's name is Dvalin" Rainbow explained "Dvalin?!" The trio asked "Who called them that?" Lumine asked "I don't know, I never asked" Rainbow asked "I bet it was that green guy we saw right before we met Amber" Twilight thought "Green guy? That's weird, I don't know of any green guy and then again I know everyone in Mondstadt" Rainbow explained "Got any more?" Lumine asked "Right!" Rainbow said "I also learned that Dvalin was supposed to be the savior of Mondstadt but he eventually quit his job, presumably out of hatred" Rainbow explained "Do you know the reason?" Twilight asked "No I don't but I did recieve this, I think it is worth reading" Rainbow said Rainbow then puts the book on the table which Twilight, Lumine and Paimon noticed "Thanks, we will keep that in mind" Twilight said "No worries, also, Amber wants to see you tomorrow" Rainbow said "Really?! Why?" Lumine asked "I dunno, she didn't tell me, also if you're going to the headquarters again I suggest getting a Mondstadt travel guide, it's really useful" Rainbow said "We'll keep that in mind" Twilight said "Alright, now please don't tell anybody about this since I don't want to cause any disruption in Mondstadt due to what I said" Rainbow said "I pinkie promise, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" Twilight chanted "Thanks, I'll be off now, got some damages to repair, see you girls later" Rainbow waved "Hold on!" Twilight called out "Huh?" Rainbow asked in confusion Twilight then ran to Rainbow and gave her a hug while smiling as tears streamed down her eyes a bit "I'll find some way to bring your memories back" Twilight whisped "Y-You will?" Rainbow asked Twilight then broke out of the hug "Of course I will, I promise, I know it'll be a tough mission but I will get your memories back as soon as possible, you can be sure of it" Twilight said "Sure I like things to go as fast as possible but seeing how tough it'll be I thank you" Rainbow said "Also if you want you can join our team, we accept as much members as possible" Lumine said "I'll think about it, I will also have to discuss it with my fellow Knights of Favonius members but we'll see, just promise me that whatever you do, keep Mondstadt safe from anymore attacks" Rainbow suggested "Of course and you will help though, right?" Twilight asked "Me?! Of course I will, I mean, I am a hero right now! I helped Lisa defeat one of the sources so it'll be easy" Rainbow said "That's great" Lumine said "Alright then, if there's nothing else I'll be off" Rainbow said "Yep, go ahead, we'll see you tomorrow" Twilight said Afterwards Rainbow left as Paimon could be heard groaning "Ugh! Can we sleep now! Paimon's sleepy!" Paimon said "Of course, let's go guys" Twilight said The trio then went to their rooms ready to get some shut eye, especially after what just happened but in midnight Twilight couldn't sleep as she just thought of what she just heard before she stood up and prepared her own coffee before grabbing the book she got from Rainbow as she read it "The "Wolf" of the Knight of Boreas, the "Lion" of the Lionfang Knight (or "Dandelion Knight"), the "Falcon" of the Knights of Favonius, and the "Wind Dragon" Dvalin have been long regarded as the Four Winds that watch over Mondstadt, After the Lionfang Knight liberated Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius was established, and the Knight of Boreas joined them, the tradition of worshipping the Four Winds was gradually formed in Mondstadt, however, Dvalin, the ancient Wind Dragon, predated them all, approximately one hundred years ago, the land was in chaos. Darkness spread, contaminating everything it touched. Barbarians and foul creatures roamed the lands, forcing people to dwell within the city walls, it was an especially difficult time for Mondstadt, the Lionfang Knight was without a suitable heir, and the Knights of Favonius had lost many of its brave men and women during the bitter wars. During the most difficult of times, Durin, the corrupted dragon of immeasurable power, began attacking Mondstadt, the prayers of Mondstadt's people awoke the Anemo Archon, and his will summoned forth the Wind Dragon Dvalin, as the last defender of Mondstadt, Dvalin battled Durin with all his might, the result was clear, Durin's remains still lie atop the Snowy Peaks to the south of Mondstadt, but the story of how the battle ended was lost in time, It is said that Dvalin ripped out Durin's throat, and together they fell from the sky. Durin's body sunk into the snow while Dvalin was summoned by the Anemo Archon and fell into a slumber... People used to believe that Dvalin would awaken whenever Mondstadt faces a new threat but in these times of peace, the belief of the Four Winds has gradually eroded and their temples lie all but completely deserted, 'Citation of unknown origin: By the time the Knights finally discovered that the foreign monstrosity named Stormterror, with which they clashed countless times, was in fact Dvalin of the Four Winds, the enmity that had grown between them and driven them to conflict could not be undone. One can scarcely imagine the betrayal Dvalin must have felt when he awoke after a hundred years of slumber only to find that the people of Mondstadt, whom he had protected with his life, had forsaken him...'" Twilight read "That's horrible, no wonder why Dvalin got angry by us, they thought we were a threat" Twilight thought out loud Just then Twilight heard a few footsteps making her turn to the doorway and notice Lumine there "What's wrong Twilight, couldn't sleep?" Lumine asked "No, have you read this story? I just read it" Twilight asked "You mean the one Rainbow gave us?" Lumine asked "Yeah, it's the story of how Dvalin killed Durin during one of their battles atop the snowy peaks" Twilight explained "Why did he do that?" Lumine asked "I dunno, the story even explained that they sometimes gets summoned when there's danger" Twilight explained "Just like when we saw..." Lumine started before she realized something "What if the green guy was the danger?!" Lumine asked "It's possible but it could also be their source that they felt when there was a god or us when you lightened up your chest" Twilight explained "I have to believe the former, I mean, why should they be scared of us when we're heroes" Lumine reminded "True or maybe they don't know we're heroes" Twilight explained Lumine then approached Twilight "I know you're scared Twilight but I can assure you that it'll all be okay, I mean you have me, Paimon, Rainbow and the rest of the Knights of Favonius, there's nothing we can't handle when we work together,, I'm sure you know that too" Lumine said "Yeah maybe you're right" Twilight said thinking Lumine then yawned "Now come on, let's get back to bed, it'll be a long day tomorrow" Lumine said The duo then went back to their room as they went to sleep thinking of the events that will transpire tomorrow
