(Author's note: The start of the Act will always be the same. But the process will be different and the same goes to the ending.)

Timeskip... Mondstadt, Main street.

Paimon: Phew.. The storm has gone finally.

Lumine: Where have you been all this time?

Paimon: Still by your side, it's just Paimon has to keep away from the battle so Paimon doesn't cause you trouble.

Aether: At least you're okay in the end.

Paimon: Of course Paimon do!

Amber: So! Let me show you around the main street! Starting from the main gate!

Aether: Okay.

She shows them to the blacksmith just on their left side, with Wagner as the blacksmith and his apprentice, Schulz, who is looking out for any customers.

Amber: That is where most of the Favonius weapons are repaired! And the repairs are always free of charge!

She points to the flower shop on the right.

Amber: Right side is the Floral Whisper, Flora's the one who managing the shop!

As they proceed forward, they encounter a receptionist on their right. Amber introduces to them..

Amber: That's Katheryne! She's the receptionist of the Adventurer's guild. Maybe she can recruit you since you both are travelers!

Lumine: Sounds good.

Aether: What does the guild do?

Amber: Well, it's basically Adventurers completing the commissions assigned by the receptionist. Let me introduce you to her!

The Outrider grabs Aether's hand to the receptionist who is waving at them, eagerly to welcome them.

Katheryne: Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. I believe I'm seeing some new faces. An adventuring one!

Lumine: How can you tell?

Katheryne: Being lookout for great Adventurers is part of my job.

She looks at the Outrider before asking.

Katheryne: Amber, right? The Outrider of the Knights of Favonius.

Amber: Yup! That's me!

Katheryne: I overheard the conversation you're in with the Maid Knight, Noelle.

Amber: Yeah! Both travelers are doing well on the mission! I'm sure you can offer some commissions to them when they got free time.

The receptionist nods with gleeful smile.

Katheryne: That's what I wish to hear. I had my eyes on them as soon as they enter the city for the first time. I can tell they got potential that rivals the great adventurers of legends.

The Outrider adds her praise after Katheryne's sentence.

Amber: Wow.. Even Katheryne can see you got potential!

Lumine: You flattered me..

Katheryne: Nevertheless, to the adventurer, experience is far more precious than potential.

Paimon: So you're saying we're like, official adventurers now?!

Katheryne: Do not worry, the Adventurers' Guild does not charge a membership fee or impose any kind of duties on its members. In short, there are lots of benefits but no drawbacks to becoming a member.

Without hesitation, Aether nods as he agrees to join.

Aether: Alright then.

Lumine: Wait, are you sure about this?

Aether: Well, Katheryne just said there's no drawbacks.

Lumine: What about the requirements?

Katheryne: The guild currently accepts any kind of people from any regions, if they are willingly to join. It's all up to their capabilities whether they can take the challenge or not. And do not worry, we got all kinds of commissions sorted out in difficulty ranks, types from the range of "Doing errands around towns", "Monsters camp clearing in the wild" to "Going expedition to gather information" and "Exploring in a new land". So that way, inexperience adventurer can take on easy task with less risk and dangers while the experts handles the tough one. And also, here's the Adventure handbook.

The receptionist hands over to both of the siblings, Aether and Lumine. He examines the cover of the handbook before flipping the pages over to see the content as Katheryne explains it.

Katheryne: The rules of the guild listed at the first few pages. It has the record of available commission and rewards. And it is also proof of your membership.

Lumine: That means..

Katheryne: Correct! Without further Ado, please allow me to officially welcome you, our new avid adventurers, into the Guild!

The Outrider drops a sweat as she feels this is too sudden.

Amber: Well, that was sudden. But congrats, Aether, Lumine!

Katheryne: Both of you will start on the lowest rank in the guild as where all the starters should be. To ascend your rank, you gain recognition from the guild by completing impressive feats in all sorts of way, not just completing commissions. It can be from defeating high difficulty monsters, exploring ruins, solving ancient puzzles, etc.

Lumine: So when do we start taking commissions?

Katheryne: It'll be tomorrow or day after that. But it's better for you to come visit me to accept once you're getting used and familiarize with the city.

Amber: Come to think of it. I still haven't bring you both to an inn yet for staying.

Katheryne: Well then, that will do for today. We will have plenty of chances to meet again in the future. Ad astra abyssosque, Adventurer! With effort, you shall reach the stars and conquer the abyss!

The Travelers gladfully thank her.

Aether: Thanks, Katheryne!

Lumine: See you then.

They wave their hands at the receptionist before they leave. They walk along the main street as they continue their conversation.

Paimon: Wow.. That was really sudden. One second passed and boom, you both are officially adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild.

Lumine: Since adventurers usually head outside more oftenly as the Outrider. You think we'll be meeting each other most of the times in the wild?

Amber: I hope so! I love to see how you both grow, and I also would like to go on an adventure with you!

Aether: I guess that's a deal then.

The Outrider excited announces it.

Amber: Of course! I'm holding you with that deal when the time comes!

Bringing the "deal" as a subject, Paimon cuts in as she tries to mention it with a hint, with her mouth watering expression.

Paimon: Talk about the deal. Aren't you forgetting something else, Amber?

The Outrider notices the fairy's expression that is drooling with saliva. She immediately knows it was something about food.

Amber: Ah.. Right..! The Sticky Honey Roast!

The group could hear all of their stomach are grumbling. The Outrider feels embarrassed and blushes a bit.

Amber: Ahaha.. I guess we haven't had lunch yet. Let's go to the Good Hunter and visit Sara!

Aether: Sure!

Under the Outrider's tour guide, she leads them to the shop and also an outdoor restaurant named "Good Hunter", managed by the waitress, Sara while the chef are busy inside the kitchen. She waves at them as the group approaches.

Sara: Oh, it's Amber!

Amber: Hey, Sara! How you doing?

Sara: Thanks to the people from the Knights of Favonius and Adventurers' Guild, they managed to put a stop to the Tornadoes. The damages are actually minor.

Then, Sara notices the Travelers.

Sara: Oh! Are you the Travelers who fought against the dragon in the sky!?

The Outrider introduces them.

Amber: Oh, these are new Travelers in Mondstadt. Just got themselves registered to the Knights and also they are adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild. So they will be visiting here a lot.

Sara: Oh, is that so? Then you must try the Mondstadt's delicacy, Sticky Honey Roast! It'll be free of charge for the first time! Since you also helped out saving the city. You can order anything you want!

Paimon: Really!? This isn't a dream, right!?

Aether: Everything you saw is true..

Paimon: Then, one Sticky Honey Roast for Paimon!

After browsing on the menu hanging on top of the Good Hunter's restaurant.

Lumine: Flaming Red Bolognese, Berry & Mint Burst.

Aether: Mushroom Pizza with mushroom cream soup sounds nice.

Amber: Same as Lumine but with coffee instead!

Sara: On it!

Sara yells out for the chef to hear their order. It only took a moment for them for the food to be ready after they all found the seat. As Sara serves up a meat dish in a sweet honey sauce, also with the carrot slices on the bottom of the juicy meat. The sight of it already feel the sweetness for them, especially for Paimon.

Paimon: Wow! Paimon can't wait to dig in!

Aether: Oh Paimon..

Paimon: Ehehe.. Sorry about that!

Amber: Then you both should take a first bite before Paimon gobbles it all!

Lumine: I will try.

She forks up a slice of pork covered with sweet honey sauce along with a carrot slice. She savors it as soon as it's in her mouth. She could feel the sweetness of the sweet honey, tenderness of the pork and the crunchy feeling of the carrot slice.

Lumine: Mhm~ It's pretty sweet!

Amber: Told you! You can taste the fragrance of the pork and its warmness after being cooked thoroughly.

Aether: Really? Let me taste test this!

He forks another piece, same way as Lumine does and savor it. Paimon feels bad as the siblings are taking the lead.

Paimon: Hey! Don't take too much! Paimon won't feel full if you take too much!

Timeskip...

After the wonderful meal, Amber brings them to an Inn to stay for the day before resuming back to tour. She opens the door.

Amber: Alright, here's the room for now!

As they look into the room, it was well decorated with elegance lighting and windows. Also with two separate beds, basically fulfill the siblings' requirements. Paimon immediately dives to the bed. Making herself comfy on a soft fabric. Aether just looks around for a bit.

Paimon: Finally~! A bed! We've been camping outside for months! Paimon can get a nice sleep this way.

Aether sweatdrops apologizes to Amber.

Aether: Pardon for Paimon's reaction.

Amber: It's okay! You must've been out there for months. Judging how Paimon said it. You can take a rest for a while if you want, we still got time to do a lot of things!

Lumine: Nah, we're good!

The Outrider shows her concerns about their current stamina after going through mission.

Amber: Are you sure? Don't push yourself if you're really tired.

Lumine: It's okay, we aren't really tired. Besides, I want to glide around Mondstadt to see how the city looks from above!

Hearing Lumine's next activity. The Outrider responds with excitement.

Amber: That's what I'm planning to do next with you two! ^^ But wow.. I've never thought you had the same idea.

Lumine: Yeah.. Me too..

Aether: Uh.. Paimon's asleep already..

Lumine: What!?

The three of them notice the fairy who is already in her deep sleep on one of the bed.

Aether: Should we wake her up?

Lumine: Maybe we can leave Paimon for a while so she can have her nap. She can teleport to us anytime she wants.

Amber: Yeah.. But that sounds pretty creepy that she might suddenly just appear besides you.

Lumine: You're worried she might ruin our moment?

Amber: Probably.. But the more the merrier, right?

Lumine: Yeah.. If you sound it that way..

The girls step outside after Aether closed the door quietly, leaving the sleeping Paimon in the room.

Lumine: Finally, shall we head over to high places to glide?

Amber: Sure.. But.. There's something I almost forgot to tell you.

Aether: Which is...

Amber: In Mondstadt, you must have a gliding license in order to do that.

Lumine: I thought everyone in the city gets to glide around freely.

Amber: Well, the wind sure is the heart and soul of Mondstadt, just as I described before. But the gliding part needs practice and safety always comes first. Also, the bad guys also take the gliding as their advantage.

Aether: I see.. You got a point there.

Despite of that, the Outrider still eagerly to continue the tour with her suggestions.

Amber: But.. Let's not getting disappointed! Our tour hasn't end yet! I still can show you around until tonight! What do you think?

Aether: Sure! Let's enjoy while we can!

Amber: That's the spirit! So you still want to look around Mondstadt or head outside to watch the scenery? I have several places I want to show you, depends on your choice!

Lumine: Hm.. What do you think, Aether?

Aether: Let's walk around the city more.

Amber: Alright! Now let's resume our tour then!

Lumine: But where to this time?

Amber: Hm... The storm just resolved a while ago. I believe the street will be recovering back to a bustling street again with the usual crowd after some times! Or maybe we can spend time helping out the people recovering the damage of the city's properties! What do you two think?

Aether: Sure. We can help out.

Lumine: Since my brother agreed, so do I.

Amber: That's more like it! ^^ And since Sara's the one made the meal free of charge. Maybe this time I'll treat you both with some awesome drinks as a reward this time!

Lumine: I hope Paimon doesn't eavesdrop us..

The Outrider chuckles happily..

Amber: Haha! Relax! Of course I'll buy her a drink as well. Anyway, we should go now. Noelle is doing her best helping out the people. Jean will also glad to see us and the other Knights helping out as well!

Lumine: I hope they all are alright after the storm.

Amber: I believe they are alright, we should go now!

The three of them head outside of the Inn, leaving the sleeping Paimon alone in the room.

Timeskip... Mondstadt, Market district.

Upon arriving, they all witness most of the Knights and the City folks are helping rearrange the properties that has been affected by the tornadoes. Just with their presence alone is already made the district busy.

Aether: Wow.. The district looks lively.

Amber: Of course! Everyone here are eagerly wanting to help out!

Lumine: Let's start asking about what we can do here.

Amber: Good idea!

They try to ask any city folks if the people need their assistance, Amber notices the bartender of the Angel's Share, Charles also came out but struggling on something else. The Outrider approaches him.

Amber: Sir? Do you need a hand?

Charles: Oh! It's the Outrider, Amber! You definitely had come in a right time! Because of the storm, some of the outdoor furnitures had ended up on top of other buildings. The other Knights are currently have their task full on their hands.

Aether: How long the tornadoes had roamed around before the storm resolved?

Charles: It's just a while. The Knights and the Adventurers had done their work flawlessly on the tornadoes. So the furniture should be just nearby around here.

Amber: All right! We're on it! Come on, guys!

Lumine: We definitely need a ladder..

Amber: There's no need for that!

Judging on the Outrider's expression filled with confidence. The siblings already figured out what is she planning to do.

Aether: No way.. We're gonna glide from buildings to buildings?

Amber: Yeah! It'll be much quicker this way!

Lumine: But we both don't have a gliding license...

The Outrider scratches her cheek lightly, just realized that after Lumine mentioned it to her.

Amber: Ahaha...! Yeah.. You got a point there. But I think it's okay if we glide just for today?

Lumine: Uh... You sure?

Aether: I wouldn't risk it.

Amber: Aww..! Come on! It'll be fine! Trust me! ^^

Aether: Let's not cause trouble to the Knights by getting ourselves caught doing something illegal..

Amber: *sigh* Yeah.. Let's not cause trouble to Jean..

After her idea got rejected, the siblings immediately notice some people are mopping the excessive water came from the Frozen Tornado that is melted by an Adventurer with Pyro Vision out from cobblestone floor in the Market district, also picks up soaked posters from the water.

Aether: We'll help out mopping the floor and picks up the soaked papers.

Lumine adds up to her brother's sentence.

Lumine: ...And rearrange the furnitures!

The Outrider recovers back to her bubbly self.

Amber: Well.. Sounds like a plan! I'll pass it down from the rooftop to you both so you can return it to Charles!

Both siblings nod in agreement. Without a word, the Travelers help out with the water issue as they both grab a mop while Amber heads to the Upper area of the city. The siblings join with the city folks to clear off the water, also setting the advertisement board, benches and other decorations back on its former place before the storm hits. Noelle noticed them while she's mopping on the floor as well.

Noelle: Oh! Aether! Lumine!

The siblings notice the Maid Knight's presence just now. Noelle meets up with them, showing her concern for the Travelers.

Aether: Oh! Hey, Noelle.

Noelle: How was your mission with the Knights? Are you hurt or anything feels uncomfortable to you?

Lumine replies with a smile.

Lumine: No, we're fine actually. Thanks for your concern!

Noelle: The storm has been finally resolved, thanks to the effort from you both and the Knights. So you shouldn't be bothered by this and enjoy your stay in Mondstadt as much as you want! Maybe I can treat you with my way of hospitality after I finish all of this. ^^

She nods with a sweet grin at the end of her sentence. But the siblings shook their head as they insist on their decision to help the citizens.

Aether: It's okay, Amber is now picking some furnitures from the rooftop and pass it to us.

She gasps a bit..

Noelle: Oh? So Outrider Amber is helping out too? That's really rare!

Lumine: What do you mean?

Noelle: Well, you see.. Outrider like Amber is the scout of the Knights of Favonius. So her tasks usually locate in the wild and outside of the city.

Aether: I see..

Noelle: But where is she now? I don't see any ladders that takes her to the rooftops..

Both siblings stutter a bit.. After a few seconds, the maid gasps with her mouth covered as she realizes what the Outrider is being up to.

Noelle: Could it be..!?

The Maid and the Travelers look up to the sky. Noticing the Outrider just landed on the rooftop, picking up a billboard before she looks down for them.

Amber: Hey! I saw some of the furnitures that Charles mentioned!

Hearing that, Noelle immediately knows Amber's presence and starts worrying.

Noelle: Oh no..!

Lumine: What's wrong?

The Maid clears her throat to resume her formal attitude.

Noelle: Ahem... Do you know about the Gliding license in Mondstadt?

The siblings nod in reply.

Aether: Amber told us about it not too long ago. Is something wrong?

Noelle: In Mondstadt, there are some zones is restricted from gliding and landing. If you try to glide from one of the restricted area. Your license will get revoked and it is required to take the gliding exam again.

Aether: That means..!

Noelle: I just hope she doesn't get caught by other Knights, and I'm seriously worried about her safety as well.

Aether: But aren't you a Knight as well?

Noelle: Ahem.. In case you forgot, I've yet to officially become one from the Knights of Favonius.

Aether: Oh.. You got a point there. Sorry..

The Maid kindly smiles to his apology.

Noelle: It's okay! ^^ I'm still a Maid that services the city and the citizens.

Lumine: Maybe you can distract the Knights?

The Maid nods in agreement.

Noelle: Good idea. I'll go help out other Knights so they can rest early. That way, they won't notice Amber's presence on the rooftops.

Aether: Thanks.

The group can hear Outrider's tone from their above somewhere.

Amber: Hey! Where are you guys up to? I'm waiting for you to pass down the furniture!

Aether: Coming!

The Maid bobs a formal curtsey before resuming back to the Knights. The siblings immediately rush to Amber's location. They could see Amber standing on top of lower rooftop that is reachable for the Travelers. Carefully transfer the chairs and tables down. Eventually, they successfully return and rearrange it back to how it was outside the Angel's Share tavern.

Amber: Phew! Nicely done.

Charles: Thanks, you three! With your help, Master Diluc doesn't have to come here personally.

Amber: Is there anything we can help out?

Charles: Well, only the outdoor furnitures are affected by the Tornadoes. The tavern itself and the wine storage is still perfectly fine. But thanks for your help!

Amber: I'm glad the Tavern's okay. Don't hesitate to ask us if you need help with anything!

Charles: Sure!

Amber: But before that, I promised to treat the Travelers with some of Angel's Share's famous drinks after helping out. And also it's their first time here, so any recommendations?

Charles: Since it's their first time here. Drinks or cocktail they ordered will be on the house!

Hearing Charles said it's free of charge for the first timer, Amber insists to pay for them.

Amber: Wait...!

Aether: It's okay, Amber. We had received your sincerity.

Amber: Oh.. Still.. That was my promise for you two.

Lumine: We still get to drink for free. And Aether also will order extra one just for you while I order another one for Paimon!

Amber: Huh!? Y-You do!?

Aether: You're the one who welcomed us while we were wandering in the wilderness. So you should have our thanks.

Amber: Oh, guys.. You're making me blush..

Charles: So what would it be?

Each of the traveling siblings order two drinks. Two for themselves and another two is for Amber and Paimon. Aether asks Amber kindly.

Aether: Amber?

She happily replies.

Amber: I would like a Sweet Sunsettia juice!

Aether: Berry & Mint Burst this time and Sweet Sunsettia juice then.

Lumine: Apple Cider and Wolfhook juice!

Charles: Alright then!

Timeskip...

After receivinv their orders, the group waves to the bartender as they are off to resume their tour. Amber's face flushes a bit as she actually hears the conversation between the Travelers and the Maid before.

Amber: So uh.. Aether? Lumine?

Lumine: Yeah?

Amber: Thanks for covering it for me.. But also sorry that I made you both and Noelle worried for me. I should've just use the ladder instead..

Aether: It's alright. We managed to help out Charles. So don't sweat it.

Amber: If it wasn't Noelle's help, I'm sure my gliding license will definitely be revoked.. Again.

Aether: Again?

Amber: Well.. My license keeps getting revoked because of "no glide zone" this, "no landing zone" that. I must have taken the exam about 15 times altogether.

Lumine: 15 times!?

The Outrider flustered with her hands shakes horizontally.

Amber: Ignore what I just said! It's not something to be boast about!

Aether: ...Okay..

Amber: Anyway, I really promised to treat you guys.. But I got rewarded from you both instead after helping out.

Lumine: It's fine. Maybe you can reward us back with somewhere special during the tour?

Amber: Hm.. Since we're in the city. I would suggest the Cathedral's Clock tower! The view from there is amazing! And it's my favorite place for gliding down as well! Let's have our drinks at the Clock tower!

Aether: Sure! Lead us the way.

The Outrider chuckles happily before she brings them the way to the Upper Area where the Cathedral is.

Timeskip... Evening.. Mondstadt, Cathedral's Clock Tower.

The group climb their way to one of the Clock Towers of the Cathedral. Amber reaches there first as she remembers the route, waiting for the Travelers before the sightseeing. As they eventually reach the top and take a sight from the tower..

Amber: Ta-da!

With the view from the Clock Tower, they could easily view the whole city of Mondstadt, powered by several windmills.

Aether: Whoa..

Lumine: What a view..

Amber: The wind is also breezing cool as well! So that's why it's in one of my recommendations!

Aether: Do you come here often?

Amber: I usually come here alone for de-stressing and sightseeing. Now I have company like you two makes things lively here!

Lumine: I've been thinking about something else lately.. Amber..

Amber: What is it?

Lumine: Since Outriders are always are tasked outside the city. How come we never come across one beside just you during our mission? Acting Grand Master Jean wouldn't pair a Librarian like Lisa in our team for the mission because she isn't familiar in the wilderness.

Amber: Oh.. Uh..

The Outrider struggles a bit to answer Lumine's answer.

Amber: Actually, I'm the only Outrider left in the Knights of Favonius..

Her smile gradually disappears as soon as she thinks about someone else and starts talking about her past.

Amber: You see.. My grandpa founded a division called the "Outrider". And I watched him trained every single one personally.. But one day, when I was hiding behind a closet in my grandpa's office, waiting for him to give the surprise. But instead of him, it was the Knights who came in and that's when I know that my Grandpa has disappeared without leaving note or anything. Since he's always the beating heart and the backbone of the division. And without him, the division starting to fall apart. With all the experienced members left before I admitted to the division, the only thing that still preserved in the Knights of Favonius is its name, "Outrider"..

Aether: Amber...

Despite her trauma of losing her grandpa, her passion and determination overwhelm her sadness and made her smile back again.

Amber: After I took that responsibility, I decided to inherit his former role and become the best Outrider! And also a loyal protector of my homeland! That's what I am right now!

Hearing her story, Lumine feels bad for asking the question.

Lumine: Sorry for asking it..

Amber: Don't feel bad! The wind here will blow away the sadness! Since I already made it this far, I shall continue to make it till the day I finally proved myself to my grandpa!

Aether: I'm glad you're okay, right now.

Amber: Well, having someone like you two accompany by my side made me feel much better now. Thank you..

Lumine tries to change her subject as she notices they all haven't had their drinks yet.

Lumine: Shall we head back? Paimon's probably waiting for us with the drinks.

The Outrider stands up and wears her goggles.

Amber: Sure! Let's glide down from here!

Aether: Again!?

She chuckles happily and reassures Aether.

Amber: Relax! This area isn't restricted!

Aether: Phew...

Amber: How about we'll have a race? The finish line will be the entrance to the Inn!

Aether: All right then! Challenge accepted!

Amber: That's the spirit! And just so you know.. Beside the best Outrider, I'm also the Gliding Champion of Mondstadt as well! So don't expect me to go easy on you!

Aether: I wasn't going to either!

Amber: Okay then, 3, 2, 1, Go!

Aether and Amber both jump down from the clock tower before Lumine.

Lumine: Hey! Wait up!

She catches up to them with her Anemo power boosted her from the Clock Tower before deploying her Wind Glider.

Amber: Hey! That's cheating!

Lumine: You both started before me!

The three of them had fun during the race as much as they can.

Ending 2: A guardian they can rely on..

Her Passion and Determination made her as Crimson Knight. Most importantly, the best Outrider in Mondstadt.
