Yo. This is actually my first time writing a story on here, and I just so happen to have fallen for Genshin in the mean time, so bare with me. Also this may not match up with cannon storyline, so don't be surprised. Also I may not update much so if someone wants to take it over just pm me. Now onto the story.
An interesting Traveler Indeed
With the conclusion of stormterror incident, many felt at peace and that everything would return to normal, however not so for one elusive bard.
"Finally I can return to celestia", said Venti as he got far away from Monstadt. "Thanks to the traveler and those 2 nights, I was finally able to heal stormterror, perhaps I should not have let all that hatred build up so long, but it is what it is. That traveler is interesting though, last time I came down wasn't more then 5 years ago, and yet I still never seen him around Monstadt, or ever mentioned at all" Venti thought with a peculiar interest. "Come to think of it, he looked familiar to that one person who was mentioned during the last Annual Archon Congress", "The Sustainer was quite pissed when the girl escaped her grasp and is now off the radar, but it can't be him, after all she did say he died while in battle"
As Venti thought about this, the portal to the Divine realm opens and Venti skips through, with blinding light beaming out and blessing its surroundings with a once in a few lifetime opportunities, to witness what one would call perfection.
"Home sweet home", Venti said with relief. "After all that hard work and fighting, I need another drink. That mortal wine cannot compete to wine aged over millennium"
As Venti stepped through a realm, he was greeted by the Gates to the Divine Palace, there placed were two Adepti, part of the Gatekeeper unit. Ran by the Sustainer, and tasked with the duty to keep the unworthy or uninvited out of Celestia, they stood tall and unwavering. The guard on the right took the form of a wolf, bearing the symbol of the anemo element, he stood about 7ft tall and was as wide as a bus. The guard on the left was an eagle with claws that make Davalins look like rubber ducks, she stood around 5 ft tall with a wingspan of 16ft on each side, and bares the Electro element.
"Good evening, Lord Barbatos", the Sustainer wishes to see you at once", said the wolf.
"Yes indeed, and I do say so myself she was quite pissed when she said your name. What did you do this time" sighing the eagle on the left.
"Weeeellllllll, ya sseeeee, I kinda broke the new Principal put into place the day I left. Ya know, the no direct mortal inference rule. Yaaaaa probably wasn't the best idea now that I look back at it" said Venti with a bit of sweat running down his face.
"How in the 100 realms did you become a god again, you broke so many rules that I'm surprised the Sustainer and the Archon Congress hasn't sealed you in stone for a century yet" wondered the eagle.
"Well I can't give out all my secrets now can I, besides it's not like they have the time to care for issuing me a punishment. Besides, between me and you two, I have so much dirt on my coworkers that if they dared snitch, I could have them stripped from their ranks till the next solar heat death", whispered Venti to the guards ears.
"Well you best be going, because it's not my tail that's going to be cut off because you decide to take a nap first", said the wolf.
"Fine, just watch and see; as I, Venti, the reincarnation of Lord Barbatos, and a master smooth talker, get out of breaking a freshly made law" said Venti as he left to enter the Palace
"... he's gonna be punished with record duty for a month, I'm putting 10,000 Mora on it" betted the wolf.
"I'm thinking 2 month's, and I'm putting 10,000 Mora as well" said the eagle.
Later on in the office of The Sustainer of Heavenly Principals
"Records duty, 5 months", said the Sustainer
"WHAT", exclaimed Venti
"Your right, that's to lenient, 7 months", softly said the Sustainer despite the loud eruption.
"Come on that's not fair, it's not like I started a war" exclaimed Venti
"You broke a law the same day it was put in. The worst part is that you were the main one pushing for it, baka" deadpanned the Sustainer
"Ya know, where's the evidence, I demand evidence that I broke the law", huffed Venti.
"You do realize that every entry and exit to the heavenly realm is recorded, and every adepti or archon that exits needs to fill out forms that must be approved by ME before taking leave. Soooooo if my memory serves me right, where is the approval form I should have given you Venting " softly said the Sustainer.
"I left it in a bar, down in Mondstadt, with a floating travel guide who just so happens to eat anything it sees" said Venti wholeheartedly.
"Are you seriously trying to bullshit your way out of this", asked the Sustainer.
"It's not bullshit if it's working" said Venti.
"One year records, and Realm probation, dismissed" sternly said the Sustainer.
"Damnit" softly said Venti as he got up and left the grandiose office.
Anemo Archon's Office
As Venti sat down, he finally got relaxed and began to think about everything that happened over his adventure.
"Ya know what, I still can't get that traveler off my mind, I'm an archon, and Mondstadt is so small, I know everyone's name by heart, let me send one of the Adepti down to records and find his profile", he thought.
Venti grabs his office phone and calls down to records
"Hello, this is the Records Department, please state your name and the office your trying to reach" said the voice over the phone.
"Venti, aka Barbatos, and I want the Soul Records Office please" said Venti.
"Sure, please hold for one second Lord Barbatos" said the voice over the phone as Venti starts hearing exotic but catchy elevator music.
"Man. To think the traveler may have been born somewhere else isn't to far fetched, I just hope it wasn't in Snezhnaya, it's bad enough that witch has her Fatui running around all the nations" thought Venti with a bit of contemplation.
"Thank you for holding, this is the Soul Records Office, how can we help you today Lord Barbatos" said the voice over the phone.
"Hi yes, I need you guys to find one soul recently born, looks to be around age 18, blond hair, hazel eyes, male and resonates with Anemo element. If it helps he was recently in Mondstadt not even a day ago" said Venti hoping to get a name.
"Yes, currently our system is looking, give us 5 seconds. . . . . . Nothing came up my lord", said the voice over the phone.
"Huh, that's impossible, every soul ever born in this world is in that database, one cannot just disappear without it purposely being hidden by the Sustainer or the clearance level is too high. " exclaimed Venti.
"Sorry lord Barbatos, we ran the clearance with your name, the highest clearance possible is Archon level, and so far nothing has came up" said the voice with a tone of sympathy.
"I see, very well then, thank you for your time" said Venti as he hung up the phone.
"Damn, I suppose he really is quite the special traveler huh. To give a slip on the gods, no wonder he wasn't so shocked to find out I was an archon. Although that poses a major security question. If he's not from this realm, where is he from, and why is he here but also helping us" thought Venti. "I do not know everything, so I won't report anything to the Sustainer; but I'll have my big blue eyes on you interesting little traveler. Well after I'm done with record duty" mentally sighed Venti.
If you liked it, leave a comment, if not, I couldn't care much. Like I said, continuing would be fun but I wouldn't update consistently so don't be surprised.
