Paimon: So... What you're trying to say is that you fell here, from Another World?

Aether: Yeah, pretty much.

Paimon: But when you wanted to leave and go on to the next world... Your path was blocked by some unknown god?

Aether: Yeah.

Paimon: Is there more to it than that? Because Paimon would like to know.

Aether: Actually, yeah. There's more to the story to be honest before then.

At a bar, Aether and Lumine were having lunch before they continue their travels. Lumine had a bowl of Bamboo Shoot Soup, while Aether had a large steak. Though it wasn't as big as it was, considering Aether down right devours it without a second thought as it reach to it's last piece. Lumine looks at him as he picks up his last stake with his knife and grabs his glass of water before drinking a bit.

Lumine sighs that got his attention.

"Must you always eat like an animal?" Lumine asks.

Aether chuckle. "Sorry. It's really good."

"I'm not the only one here though."

"I know but-."

"I don't want to hear any more excuses. After you're done, wait for me in the inn."

"Um... Okay."

After Aether finishes his steak, he walks back to the inn. But on his way, he noticed a bunch of people crowded together. He went up to see what's going on. As the crowd grew little, he noticed a young maid giving out fliers.

"Hey what's this all about?" he asks.

"Oh, today during this evening, we're releasing our new dessert at the bar." she gave a flier to him.

It was a picture of 4 stacked pancakes on top of each other with blueberries around it, whip cream and strawberry on top. It was drizzle with honey and chocolate with a few chocolate bars on the side of the dish.

Aether's eyes glow with amaze. His mouth was drooling.

"I have never seen anything so amazing in my life... Okay maybe I have but I am FULLY EXPERIENCE IT NOW!" he said in excitement. "Maybe we can stay here for one more day? I should ask Lumine and see if she say-."

"No." Aether shivers as he turns to his right and sees Lumine who only gave him a stare. She was holding her bag. "What are you doing?"

"Oh I was just-." Lumine grabs the flier before Aether can answer. She looks at it and back to Aether.

"Outside, now." Lumine grabs Aether's arm and walk out.

When they got out, they walk to an ally before Lumine throws Aether to the wall.

"Mind telling me what's this, brother?" she ask.

"Lumine, I know you want to go right now, but we have time." he said. "Can't we just stay one more day?"

"I already made our travel plan. You're gonna follow it whether you like it or not."

"I know but-."

"This isn't funny, Aether. You've been acting like a kid since we started. I am tire of it."

"Lumine I know but we can change the plans. It doesn't have to be straight forward."

"It does in my books."

"But-."

"Another word out of you, and I will punish you. Do you get me?"

"Well..." Aether didn't say anything else.

"Good. Go to the room, and back up. Once your done, meet me at the gate. End. Of. Discussion."

All Aether could do was nod. He was afraid of what she might do if he continued to talk.

"Good." Lumine lifted the flier in front of him with both hands. "And one more thing." she rips it in half, shocking him. "No more, distraction." she walks away.

Aether picks up the now ripped flier, and walks back to the inn to get his stuff.

Paimon: Wow, she's kinda scary.

Aether: Not really, it was easier to manipulate my feelings. I was weaker at willpower than physical strength. After that... You know what happens.

After Aether got his stuff ready, he went to the port where his Sister was. Although the moment both he and Lumine had was uncomfortable, he tries his best to forget about it. The truth is, she would say the same line over again. It makes him feel weak, even more weaker than he is. Not physically, but willingly.

At the port, he got up with Lumine and Lumine gave him a stare.

"Don't be so sad brother." she said. "We have to leave at some point."

"I know but... I want to spend a little more time here." Aether answer. "I don't want to say goodbye yet."

"As your older sister, I expect you to listen. And when I said we need to go, we need to go. Do I make myself clear?"

"... Yes."

Lumine pats his head with a smile. "There we go." Lumine looks ahead. "Now, let's go before-." before Lumine could finish, red stars slowly appeared in front of them.

A figure slowly walks out of it to reveal a goddess.

"Outriders, your journey ends here." she said.

Lumine walks up a bit. "Who are you?" Lumine asks.

"The sustainer of heavenly principles. The Arrogation of mankind ends now!" with her hand, she made a block appear below them causing them to jump out of it to avoid any damage.

Light Wings appear behind Lumine as she summons her sword. Aether did the same with Light wings behind him too, as they charged in.

The Goddess made red auras appear as it came to them. They avoid as much as they can. Though it kept following them.

"There's way too much of it!" Aether yells. We can't avoid it for long."

"Then we'll have to strike now!" Lumine announced.

Aether nodded as they charged to the goddess. They roar as they swing their sword to her, but she manages to hold them before they can strike.

"Foolish children." she said. "I acoment your efforts but it is futile." she looks at them both. "Luckily for one of you, I only need one of you." she pushes Aether away. Mainly while, red aura slowly appears on Lumine's arm.

"Lumine!" Aether stretched his arm to her. Lumine looks back before the red auras cover her.

The red aura then slowly turns into a small golden cube and into the goddess hand. Aether charge in.

"Foolish child, you never stood a chance against me." she said with a smile on her face.

Aether was behind her with a charge light attack on his left hand. "WHY DON'T YOU TRY THAT ON ME!" he strikes, causing smoke to appear.

When the smoke however, Aether was shocked the goddess was not harmed. The goddess stretched her left hand as the smoke turned to red auras appeared causing it to form a cube.

"You may not be used to me, but I cannot allow you to steer any trouble." the moment she said that, she covers Aether whole body in that red aura as it slowly continues to cover him.

"Wait, don't go!" he called. He tried to struggle, but couldn't move his body. "Give my sister back!" his face was covered, and now his whole body was covered.

...

...

...

Aether: And just like that, the god took away my sister... But it doesn't end there.

Aether woke up on a beach. He looks around and doesn't see Lumine anywhere. He was panicking.

"Dang it." he said as he jumped, but fell to the ground. "Huh?" Aether was trying to use his power, but it did nothing. He got back up and tried again, but nothing.

"Come on fly, FLY!" Aether was getting desperate, but nothing.

Aether was about to try again but... Before he could, he kneeled down with his eyes closed. Tears came out of his eyes. Not long after he opened his mouth and raised his head.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he gave a painful cry.

Aether: Some kind of seal was cast upon me, and I lost my power. So while we used to travel from world to world, we are now trapped here.

*Present*

At the beach, Aether finishes drawing what the goddess figure looks like on sand. Paimon stares at it.

"That's, really sad." she said.

"How many years ago was it? I don't know..." Aether lifted his right arm before making his hand into a fist. "But I intend to find out." he put his arm down. "When I woke, I was all alone..." he turns to Paimon with a smile. "Until I met you two months ago..."

"Yeah, Paimons really owes you for that." said Paimon. "Otherwise Paimon likely would have drowned... So Paimon will do her best to be a great guide!" she said with a smile.

Aether nodded his head before looking at the shore of the beach.

"We should head off." said Paimon. "Lumine and the others are waiting for us back at Mondstadt."

Aether nodded. He stood up and walked towards a girl with a red bow on her head. Paimoon's follows. When they got to her, she started to follow them.

"Are you sure about this?" the girl with the red bow asked. "After what your sister did, are you sure you want to do this?"

Aether took a deep breath. "I have too Amber. I need to confront her. Maybe she might know how we can help Dvalin."

There was a moment of silence. "... I hope you're right." said Amber. And let's hope Xiangling can handle all of the cooking for her. Especially since the Fatui's there."

—----------------

Back at Mondstadt, Lumine was on top of what seemed to be a castle. She look down at the people of Mondstadt and gives a sigh.

"This is the people who he stayed with? Pathetic." she said. "So weak that he relies on others to take care of him." she turns and walks. "Aether, this will be your last day here... Because you're coming with me."
