Chapter 1, Part 3 - A frightening anomaly

12:46. On her orders, Lisa was summoned to Jean's office to discuss what had happened. But she decided to take Sucrose with her as a witness to what she saw. As a result, Jean, Noel, Lisa and Sucrose were in the room.

Jin - So... I don't think we should divulge the topic of the unexpected meeting. At half past nine something happened something strange with our God Eyes. Tell me, did they also "go out" for you, and when they returned to normal, they used their element?

Nodding in agreement, the purple witch leaned against the bookcase.

Lisa - Yes, Jean. That's exactly how it is. While conducting a dialogue with Sakharozka, out of the corner of my eye I noticed the grayness of her Eye of God, just like it is in mine. But after mine released a weak discharge, and hers was created by a small breeze. What's also strange is that at that moment I felt some kind of... A wave-like piercing blow. Sorry, I can't find an explanation for this.

Jin - Don't worry, we will definitely find all the answers to your questions. Is there anything to add?

Trembling with uncertainty her question was answered by the turquoise-haired lady:

Sucrose - Everything will be alright, Master Jin? This whole situation is, of course, new to me, but I don't want to study it...

Jin - We will take control of the situation and eradicate the problem that has arisen in front of us, and you will have a new topic for research work.

The master's smile and speech calmed and even cheered up the frightened Sucrose, lifting her spirits along with her ears.

Jin - I hereby declare the meeting closed. I ask everyone to mind their own business and report immediately if new information appears. Well, I need to visit one person who might know something about this. Everyone is free.

When everyone had gone about their business, Jean headed to the tavern to meet with Venti. Upon arrival at her destination, she saw the drunken archon pouring another bottle of Dilyukov wine into his head, choking with laughter from Keya, who, due to the high concentration of methanol in his blood, was sleeping face down on the table, moaning from his drunken state.

Venti - PHAHAHA, WHAT ARE YOU... BLUE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, OH I CAN'T!

Another sip from the bottle*

- oooooh, how good, khhykhykhyhayhaaaa))))) Narod, who will give it still ... ooo, weld Giyin, joining theyahiya !)))

Keya - meh... Mheeeeh, like... I'm spitting.

Gin - Venti, we need to go out and talk.

Venti - OH, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO OUT? AND I DON'T WANT TO, LET'S GO...

Not expecting this from a member of the Order, Favronius received such a strong slap in the face from Jean that Venti dropped the bottle on the ground, thereby breaking it and spilling all the remaining contents. The sound of breaking glass instantly silenced all the noisy visitors, forcing them to turn their heads to the epicenter of the sound. Then the master grabbed the bard by the collar, and looking with anger in her eyes, she declared in his face:

Jean - I said we need to GO OUT TO TALK!...

The people in the room became worried, because this was the first time they had seen Jean in such a nervous state. Realizing that the matter smelled of kerosene, the archon silently removed the hands of the head of the order from his collar, and together with her headed to the exit, where, going around the corner of the house, he began a dialogue.

Venti - What happened?

Jin - 3-4 hours ago, the god's eyes lost their color for a couple of seconds, and then activated their element. I have a question for you as an archon: did you feel something at that moment?

Venti - That's the thing... I thought it was because I had too much wine, but if everything took such a turn... For a moment I was able to catch someone's.. another presence. This is the first time this has happened to me in a thousand years of life. And it felt like it came from approximately the direction of Stormcloak Peak and Starcatcher Cliff. That's all I can say.

Jean - Another presence... Could this be a new traveler? What do you think?

Venti - No. Then I would be able to feel ours upon arrival in the world, but here... So alien and cold... Something terrible is coming, most likely worse than the events of the time of the first anemo archon.

Jin - Okay. Thanks for the information. If an unforeseen situation arises, can we count on your help?

Venti - As guardian of free Mondstadt,I swear by the lyre and my word that I will put all my strength into preserving the citizens of the city and the city itself.

Jean - My gratitude from the entire Order of Fevronia and all residents of the city. Sorry, but I need to take some action.

Venti - Mutually. May all four winds of Mondstadt favor you.

Next, Venti decided to walk around the city during the day, thinking about what happened and remembering the unpleasant past. Jean went to her office, and when she arrived, she summoned the best (only) scout of Mondstadt, who knew the business of quick reconnaissance - Amber

Amber - Scout of the Order Favronia arrived at the first call!

Jean - Amber, there is a task for you that does not require delay - you need to reconnoiter the situation on the peak and cliff. Is the task clear?

Amber - That's right, Master Jin! Explore the area near the peak and cliff! I'm running to fulfill it!

After her words, Amber rushed out of the building, while Jean, following the girl with her gaze, tried to continue working, but worry about the fate of the region took away her skill in holding a pen. Having left the order building, the scout ran towards the exit from the city, while Sister Rosaria watched her from the shadows, who decided to be a secret bodyguard for the girl. Much better than choir practice in the cathedral.

Rosaria - ...this will not end well .

Well, in the meantime, V1 on its way left only the mutilated bodies of hillicurls, adding scarlet splashes to the color palette of green plains.

P.S My worst chapter... meh
