*Third Person, No one's P.O.V., Cathedral*

Barbara- three fractured ribs, several bruises, a broken leg. What exactly happened to you?

Thomas- seriously you just fell from the sky, how'd you even get up there?

Sarah- let's just say I found out why you never stomp of one of those air slimes, especially when you're at the top of a large mountain.

Barbara- well, I've done all I can. You just rest here and try to heal the rest yourself. I gotta go see another patient.

She says walking off leaving the two alone.

Thomas/Sarah- So....oh sorry you go, no you! No-Gahhh!

Thomas- okay I'll go. How've you been? I haven't seen you in a while

Sarah- I'm fine. I've been exploring with Kaeya a lot lately. Getting a really good layout of the area around us. Also I've been helping Lisa in the library and around the field some too. How about you?

Thomas- fine, I've been doing some small jobs for Jean. Also I got made as a butler earlier to make some money so there's that.

Sarah- same, Jean made me a maid and had me wear a traditional outfit as such. Lots of guys were staring at me the whole time too. Pretty sure most of them didn't even need my help they just wanted an excuse to look at me.

Thomas- can't blame them, you're already a marvel to look at and in a cute maids outfit? I'm sure that a sight to behold.....anyways I should get back to Jean now she'll be wondering where I've been. I'll make sure to tell her about your condition and that you'll probably be off duty for a while. But don't worry I'll work double to provide for us both.

Sarah- I appreciate it! Bye Thomas!

They wave goodbye as the male steps out the door and walks toward the knight of favonius HQ. Once there he walks back inside jeans office and finds it empty. 

Thomas- odd, she's usually here.

He says before stepping outside and asking a nearby guard where she went, the guard tells him that Jean has left on an important quest to storm terrors lair something about corrupted blood clots or whatever before turning off and leaving the male alone.

Thomas- 'Crap without Jean how am I supposed to get a new mission?' 'I'm sure the answer is around here somewhere though'

He thinks to himself walking off and around monstadt, asking any townsfolk if they need assistance with something he still receives only cold stares and shunning from them all and after forty straight minutes of this he's just about ready to give up and look for some buried treasure when he hears a friendly voice call.

???- Join the adventurers guild today!

Thomas- 'adventurers guild? Sounds promising......and lucrative'

He thinks before walking towards the direction of the voice and comes across a young black haired woman wearing a green and white dress sitting inside a small booth.

Katheryne- Hello my name is Katheryne, would you like to join the adventurers guild?

Thomas- what's that?

Katheryne- the adventurers guild is a guild dedicated to those who wish to fight for teyvat but cannot join the knights of favonius. When you join you'll be given several missions on a daily basis and be rewarded handsomely for each mission you complete.

Thomas- sounds good, I'm in!

Katheryne- splendid, here is a list with your first missions complete them all and then report back to me once you are finished for your rewards.

Thomas- cool cool.

He says grabbing the list from her hands and reading it off as he walks away unaware of the blonde running towards him until *SMACK!!!*

Thomas- ow!, I have seriously got to watch where I'm going....

He groans looking up to find another girl sitting in front of him in equal pain only this one isn't Sucrose this girl is blonde with green eyes wearing some sort of gothic princess type outfit. Floating next to her is a glowing purple raven.

???- Ouch!

???- are you alright Mein Fraulein?

Thomas- WOAH, IT SPEAKS!

He shouts in exclamation over the talking bird before the girl suddenly gets up and jabs her fingers at his chest and says......something.

???- Hark thee young fool you dare stand in the presence of the Prinzessin and not grovel before me?

Thomas- uh, what?

???- she means watch where you're going

Thomas- uh-Huh and who are you exactly?

Fischl- Has thou not know who I am? For I am Fischl the Prinzessin der verurteilung and this here is my familiar Oz the night raven forged of darkness and lightning.

Oz- pleasure to meet you

Thomas- right......well I'm sorry for bumping into you uh....Prinzessin 

Fischl- Hmm.....very well! I shall spare you the horrors of gazing into the eyes of the dark beholder this time

Oz- she means you're forgiven 

Fischl- But!, as recompense you must accompany me on my quest to rid this pitiful world of the beasts that crawl along it corrupting it with their malicious and dark intent. 

Thomas- 'Jesus Christ' Bird?

Oz- she means help her with her daily commissions from the adventurers guild

Thomas- oh you're part of the guild too?

Fischl- correct, the mortals there like to marvel at my power and all grovel before me once I enter the room although it is nothing compared to the likes of those in verurteilung I do find the admiration quite pleasant. 

Thomas- okay, let's get moving. And hey maybe you can help me with mine!

Fischl- only if we have time-HEY WAIT UP!!!

She shouts suddenly breaking character as the male rushes off not checking to see if she's following his only thought being.

Thomas- 'this girl is really......peculiar to say the least'

Ten minutes later they arrive to the location of their first mission- taking out some enemies who are getting too close to the city. Peering over the bush they're currently hiding behind the male sees a small camp of hilichurls along with a small mage looking guy with large icy blue bubble around him.

Fischl- an abyss mage their power is quite formidable but it is nothing compared to I Fischl the prinzessin der-

Thomas- yeah yeah I got that already. Here's the plan I go in and take out the hilichurls up close while you deal with the mage from a distance try to take its shield out, once that's done I'll storm it before it can get it back.

Fischl- an excellent plan, I'm glad I spared you you could be of value to verurteilung, have you ever considered moving there one day?

Thomas- not really. Now let's go!

He shouts vaulting over the shrubbery and rushing the camp immediately the monsters all arm themselves with clubs and shields except one who wasn't fast enough and received a metal fist through his face instantly killing it. Dodging an attack from another the male grabs the club and swings it like a bat bashing the monster face in staggering it. Whilst it's still staggered he grabs the thing and lifts over his head chucking it at a nearby explosive barrel causing it to blow up two others. While he's doing so Fischl is firing arrows from a distance trying to pop the mages bubble the male helping in anyway he can by equipping his staff and Melting the shield until it's destroyed sending the mage crashing towards the ground. Before it can get up though Thomas rushes over and crushes its skull underneath his foot. Turning around he sees a hilichurl atop a tower ready to shoot him square in the chest however before it can fire it finds an arrow lodged in its eye socket killing It. Running over to the male the so called prinzessin starts to praise him lavishly.

Fischl- What a Splendid show of power heterochromic scientist your power is one comparable to those who have my blessing divine.

Oz- she means good job 

Thomas- yeah I got that 

He says in an annoyed tone over the constant strange sentences leaving the girls mouth and translations from the bird. Unfortunately this is only the beginning for him as they continue down a nearby path and fight off more monster and complete more mission the girl only grows more and more.......peculiar with each passing minute.

Fischl- These beast are no match for the power of Oz who's power is enough to shake the cosmos and birth entirely new galaxies with a single flap from his wings.

Thomas- that's nice.....

Fischl- did you know the stars of firmament are naught but rifts thrust open by oz's beak into the boundless tapestry of darkness. It's true.

Thomas- pretty sure it's not

Fischl- of course it is and you would be wise not to anger neither him nor me for the recompense is far to horrid for your mortal eyes to possibly witness without going mad  

Thomas- ooh, I'm so scared. What are you gonna do bore me to death with another one of your fables from vershal?

Fischl- is it verurteilung and they are not fables but legends of my great and wondrous power passed down from generation to generation speaking of my saving grace.

Thomas- sure and vershal is TOTALLY a real place that's why it's not on any maps or why no ones stops to grovel before you oh great and mighty prinzessin.

Fischl- you are beginning to annoy me

Thomas- well that makes two of us. Come on the let's just finish these stupid quests so I can leave now. 'Longest day of my life, really need to watch where I'm going you never know what kind of wack jobs you're gonna run into here'

He thinks speeding up to put some distance between him and the "prinzessin". Coming across a clearing he looks forward to find several men wearing masks and leather straps. Some carry swords whilst others have shovels and some hold miniature trinkets cracklings with either fire or electricity.

Thomas- finally some other humans, too bad we have to slay them.

Fischl- truly a shame they could be of use being put to work in the-

Thomas- cute story but we need to focus on reality here. Same strategy as before you stay here and snipe I take them up close.

He says rushing off not letting her saying anything in return. Using his anger and annoyance towards the girl and fuel for his punches he quickly knocks out he first guy who was turned around and didn't see him. Dodging and grabbing a shovel form another he uses it to bash the head of another knocking him out before dodging a fire bomb tossed from another. In the distance Fischl uses the leftover fire to overload another blowing him up. 

Goon- Fry!

He shouts tossing another at the male and is surprised to see him catch it before tossing it back causing the attacker to erupt in flames and quickly jump into a nearby lake to quench the flames unfortunately for him hydro also conducts electricity as he learned the hard way when Fischl fired an arrow into the lake and fried the poor bastard. Finishing off the last guy by uppercutting him Thomas then turns to the girl.

Thomas- okay only one mission left. 'Thank god' where is it?

Fischl- past the quilt of ever growing green and through the fist of the stone giant who once roamed this land free of care.

Thomas- GOD DAMNIT WOULD YOU JUST SPEAK NORMALLY FOR TWO SECONDS!?! YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!

Fischl- Do not speak to me in such a manner or i will have to punish you by sending you to the-

Thomas- let me guess the "eye of the dark beholder" or maybe the "fangs of the howling lunar beast who once fought the deity of the sun over the land of eternal darkness"

Fischl- how do you know about that?

Thomas- you can't be serious right now.....WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!, STOP PRETENDING LIKE YOU'RE SOME KIND OF MAGICAL PRINCESS FROM ANOTHER LAND YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE JUST A NORMAL GIRL WITH SOME CRAZY FANTASY OF GRAND POWER SO JUST WAKE UP AND ACCEPT THAT YOU'RE HUMAN LIKE THE REST OF US!!!!! 

Fischl- I WILL NOT HAVE YOU SPEAK TO ME IN SUCH A WAY!!! I DEMAND YOU DROP TO YOUR KNESS AND GROVEL THIS INSTANT!!!

Thomas- or what? You gonna shoot me?

Fischl- yes

She says a cold and serious look present in her eyes....er eye as she grips her bow tightly the male simply standing there his arms spread beckoning her to do so. Pulling back her bowstring she readies an arrow and is prepared to shoot him before she's suddenly blasted forward by a large force crashing into her. Looking up she finds three imposing men standing before her. A skinny one wearing a red suit and hat holding a gun, a fat one in blue holding a small cannon and a large, muscular one with a massive electrical hammer.

Fischl- The fatui!

Thomas- hehe, the what?

The male breathes trying to stifle his laughter over the ridiculous name, ignoring his laughter the three men pick Fischl off the ground and toss her aside walking towards the male. Once they're near the skinny one speaks.

Skinny Bastard- You there come with us!

Thomas- Hmm.....Nah!

He says nonchalantly grabbing he males gun and bashing him in the face with it. While he's stunned he rips the gun from his hands and shoots him square in between the eyes instantly killing him. Dropping the gun he turns to the other two.

Thomas- What's up?

Fat Bastard- STEVIE!!!

Thomas- that's guy's name was Stevie?

He asks dodging a shot from the fat guy and grabbing the others hammer before it can squash him. Whilst he's dodging these attacks without a care in the world Fischl has just gotten back up and says..........something else.

Fischl- Hark thee bringers of death you shalt not leave this accursed forest unharmed I shall bring you both down and claim your weapons as my treasures and spoils of war!

Fat Bastard-............

Hammer Bro-............

Thomas- yeah I know super weird right?

Fat Bastard/Hammer Bro- Oh yeah/100%

Thomas- anyways 

He says ripping the hammer from the mans hand and using Ike a baseball bat to launch him several feet back into a tree temporarily stunning him. Turning to the fat guy he uses the power of physics and tosses the hammer at him, combined with the water he's currently surrounded by you can probably guess what happened, give up? He got his ass shocked to hell. With him down that only leaves the big man who charges at Thomas knocking him down and reclaiming his hammer. Lifting it above his head he swings it down and just barely misses crushing the scientists head who retaliates with a useless punch to the chest. The whole time they're fighting they're both ignoring Fischl who's rather unpleased at this point.

Fischl- EXCUSE ME!?!, I demand your attention!

Thomas- not now princess Let the adults settle this! AHHHHHHH!!!

He screams as the big guy shocks him with his hammer then crushes him like a nail putting the male out of commission.

Fischl- finally it is my time to shine!, feel my wrath!!!

She shouts firing an arrow which harmlessly bounces off the guys chest causing him to give a hearty laugh mocking the girl.

Hammer Bro- HAHAHAHA, You little brat, did you really think that would work?

Fischl- that was merely a small sample of my true power, Oz reveal thy self!

She shouts pulling a super awesome pose and summons the flying raven from earlier who shoots a bolt of electricity at the guy which again does absolutely nothing besides making him laugh even harder.

Hammer Bro- HAHAHAHA, oh no wait!, I think I felt that one a little-wait.....no I didn't! HAHAHAHAHA

Fischl- do not mock me! For if you knew my REAL power you'd tremble before me and grovel.

Hammer Bro- Show me

Fischl- I didn't wanna have to do this, but you leave me no choice!

She says gripping her bow really tight and super charging her arrow until it's bright enough to illuminate the entire forest blanketing it in a glow of purple before firing it off at the man which once again only bounced off his chest harmlessly.

Hammer Bro- that's your real power? Honestly I think you were stronger before, that little bird is stronger than you!, but hey check this out. HAMMER OF THUNDER CRUSH MINE FOES!!!

He shouts in a mocking manner charging forward and batting the girl aside knocking her into a tree hard enough to produce a viscous snapping sound. Though he's still not finished as he grabs her by the hair and lifts her off the ground to speak.

Hammer Bro- listen here freak!, you are nothing just a whiny pathetic little girl who plays fantasy because she can't handle truth. Truth being that she has no one in her life that cares for her. Not her mommy, not her daddy and especially not nail face over there!

He gestures towards the male who's currently trying to wedge himself out of the ground. Turning back to the girl who now has tears glistening in her eyes he continues to berate her.

Hammer Bro- you have no one! So you like to play your little fantasy game and pretend you're someone who you're really not because you're too young and naive to grow up! Not realizing that by doing so you're only further pushing yourself away from others and ruining any chances of a normal life that you so desperately want but refuse to admit. Did I miss anything?

He asks looking at he girl who's tears are now streaming down her face as she desperately tries to grab at the males face to cause some form of damage but receives only a slap across the face and is tossed on the ground. Whilst she's down the guy proceeds to stomp her into submission. While this is happening Thomas who's now mostly freed himself is thinking to himself as he watches the girl who just takes the beating more tears forming by the second.

Thomas- 'what's wrong with you? wheres your usual stubbornness?, fight back!, scream! Spout some nonsense about verurteilung' DO SOMETHING!!!

He shouts angry at the girl for just sitting there being treated like a dog. Looking up the hammer Bro tells him to stay out of it before he continues to beat the girl. Finally freeing himself the male thinks.

Thomas- 'okay I'm free, fischl's getting her ass kicked......literally, I could charge in to attack but with the guys hammer right at his side he could very well crush her once I take a single step. I can't take that risk. I'll have to distract him somehow, throw him off balance then Fischl will hopefully knock him down where we can finish him off but how?............Unless...................I hate my life.'

He thinks before standing up jabbing a finger at the man and says........something.

Thomas- Hark thee fool!, 'good god what am I doing?' Do you know not who you beat down?, for she is Fischl the prinzessin der verurteilung and you would be most wise to seize your punishment before she terrorizes you with her mighty power!!!

He says whilst moving his arms in a flamboyant manner causing both Fischl and the hammer Bro to look up at him then each other then back at him both equally confused as to what he's doing.

Fischl- 'Thomas....'

Hammer Bro- gee, and I thought she was crazy

Thomas- Crazy? Her? Oh no for it is YOU who must be crazy as you do not tremble before her and grovel at her feet at this very moment. For she is a prinzessin and you should show her true and utmost respect as such!

Hammer Bro- what are you talking about?

Fischl- 'is he doing this......for me?'

Thomas- what do I speak of you ask? Why I speak of YOU who speaks of ME! 'This is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my entire life!'

Hammer Bro- you know what?, I am SO confused right now

He says lightly adjusting his weight and stepping off the girl as he leans against his hammer in thought. Once he does so Thomas gives a silent nod towards the girl who understands it clearly  and she grabs the guys foot throwing him off balance and knocking him to the ground. Once down Thomas then charges forward and grabs the hammer crushing both the guys arms with it.

Hammer Bro- AHHHHHHH!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

Fischl- Do not speak of him in such a way!, for you should give him the utmost respect you shalt be giving me also!

Thomas- glad to see you're back

Fischl- thank you.....

Hammer Bro- you're both crazy and you deserve each other!

He says before being lifted off the ground and slammed against a tree, grabbing the fat guys water gun Thomas then soaks him from head to toe.

Thomas- Prinzessin Show him your true power!!! 

Fischl- No holding back!, TO ME OZ!!!

Oz- as you wish mein Fraulein!

They commune before Fischl suddenly transforms into a giant version of Oz and flys forward now helped by the water she's able to shock him enough to fry him like a chalupa killing him. Once that's done she reverts back to self and stands beside Thomas.

Thomas- that was.....

Fischl- I know super weird right-

Thomas- AWESOME!!!

Fischl- Huh?

She asks confused watching the male geek out over her attack and trying to recreate it himself. Once he's settled down he clears his throat.

Thomas- ahem, sorry about that

Fischl-...........

Thomas- listen about earlier

Fischl- what happens in this forest stays in this forest right?

Thomas- no actually, I um.....I just wanted to apologize about my behavior today. If what that guy said is true then I feel like such an asshole for yelling at you for simply doing what you enjoy. It'd be like if someone insulted me for being a scientist and inventing things you know?

Fischl- it's okay

Thomas- no it's not!, I'm sorry for being so mean and I'm sorry for yelling at you I had no right to do so. If you want to live your fantasy world go ahead I won't stop you.

Fischl- really it's okay, I'm used to the shunning and laughter by now

Thomas- I know but-wait, you're speaking normally now

Fischl- I know not what you speak of! 

Thomas- Right! Well once again I'm sorry. What do you say we go back to monstadt and I treat you to........whatever it is you like to eat?

Fischl- Hmm....very well I shall allow it!

Thomas- please tell me the people of verurteilung aren't gonna try and linch me for yelling at their prinzessin earlier.

Fischl- I shan't allow it, they would be most wise as to not lay a finger on you in or out of my presence!

Thomas- cool, by the way. It is kinda fun speaking like that.

He says with a dorky smile causing the girl to blush before he runs off calling.

Thomas- come on, I'm starving! Last one there gets fed to the Drunglin In Fort Abeseru

Fischl- that's not even a real place!

She shouts chasing after him as the two head off for a tasty meal their bond bound to grow stronger the more time they spend together and you know what? 

Thomas/Fischl- 'I'd be happy to see her again'/ 'I'd be happy to see him once more'

*MEANWHILE IN AN UNKNOWN AREA*

Fat Bastard who survived earlier- I'm sorry, we were unable to get him to come with us

???- and the others?

Fat Bastard- He.....killed them

???- and you didn't protect them because?

Fat Bastard- I'm sorry it wasn't my fault I-AHHHHHHHH!!!

He screams in agony as he's set ablaze by the mysterious figure sitting atop their throne their eyes glowing with a burning and radiant power.

???- Hmph, enjoy your little supper Thomas Bracksen for it'll be the last you ever have
