In The Far Future, the Planet of Teyvat. On the Land of Monstadt, The bustling City has been standing strong for many decades. A Group of distinguished Teens gather just outside of Springvale on one of their say
???: Okay Ray, You got us here, Some of us are still in the city Helping our Mom's. Mind explaining what you want us for?
The Blonde Boy in knight armor akin to Jean, smiled and answered
Ray: Okay okay. The Akademiya just sent us a prototype Time-Watch for us courtesy of Aunt Nahida to test out, so I wanted everyone here come with!
The rest looked at Ray like he was a madman. The red-haired girl a dark business suit akin to Diluc objects, Clearly not impressed with the boy's idea
???: Ray, What in the absolute hell are you saying? You expect us to just time hop with you to anywhere you want? That's ludicrous
Another Boy dressed in a outrider blue uniform with colors similar to Mona also interjects
???: Yeah, And we don't even know how it'll affect the timeline, all Our Parents are very strict on Time Travel, even to themselves
Ray: Oh Calm your Panties Elizabeth, Sougou, This is the Perfect opportunity to see what our Family's lives were like! I'm telling you, Our Other siblings at Sumeru sent this to is for a reason!
Ray turns to the rest of his Siblings
Ray: Eiji, Klaus, Leo, Felix, you in?
Some of the boys he mentioned looks at themselves and nods nonchalantly, Having nothing else better to do. The brunette Goggled outrider in red with a touch of gold akin to Amber, Amd the light blue Haired boy in a Regal yet Hard armored uniform akin to Eula.
the short White haired boy in a half Knight Armor similar to Noelle on the other hand...
Klaus: Yeah I don't know.... it's probably too dangerous... I'm out, sorry guy's
Elizabeth: Mm, count me out too...
Sougou: Yeah, I don't think we should be doing this... but good luck to you guy's I guess...
The Three walk away leaving the rest to do whatever they want
Leo: So... do we just turn the knob or what?
Eiji: Wait wait wait wait, did our siblings over there even gave you instructions?
Ray: Here wait a sec
Ray tapped on the watch, suddenly a green interface popped out, show how many years they want to go back too
Felix: Cool. But how many years do you wanna go back?
Ray ponders... and just randomly spun the clock
Ray: this, no. this? No. This! No... Aha! This!
Ray smiled as the interface landed on the number "20" years
Felix: You wanna go back 2 decades? You know by that time, Our Dad just got his memories back and is re-Traversing Teyvat right?
Ray: which will make it all the more interesting when we meet him
Eiji: Wait I'm sorry, WHEN? Not IF? You're gonna intentionally bump into him?
Ray Smiled at his Brother's, readying himself
Ray: Exactly~
The group looks to Ray as They was about to Jump through Time, Hoping for the Best

The ORC plus Paimon reappeared outside at the fountain Square, Taking the time to stretch themselves. Around the town they see a bunch of Flower decorations around and Overhead. The girls took in the sight in awe and excitement, experiencing a festival on another world for the first time. Paimon sees the sparkles in their eyes and turns to Issei with a small smile
Paimon: They seem eager
Issei rolled his eyes smiling
Issei: The Girl's don't go off world that often, And when they do, they will treat it like a Trip
The Former Pixie giggled, amused by the ORC girls "eagerness" for a lack of a better word.
Paimon: Well, follow me, The Festival is right outside the city
Paimon waved for Everyone to Follow her outside the City. As the Group walked Down the stairs, People around started to Stare in awe, Remembering that this Group saved them from the Abyss Takeover yesterday, And that The Traveler is with them too. Motohama noticed the gaze and Taps Issei's shoulder, Amused
Motohama: Y'all became Popular Over Night
Everyone looked around and indeed eyes were on them, Whispers seeping out. But their devil hearing enables them to hear what the Monstadtians are talking about
"Are those the People that held back the Abyss yesterday?"
"Oh my Goodness it's them"
"Holy, they look so young"
"Is that the Traveler?"
"Yeah, that's Him. He's in his Brunette Form"
"Are those his friends?"
As the Words hit their ears, The Group felt Good with a stinge of Pride to their Ego's sans Issei, Paimon and the Guy's. Knowing that they prevented a disaster from happening yesterday.
Paimon lead them out of the City and across the bridge, the see in the distance some set-up venue's and an event stage decorated with beautiful flowers
Irina: Is that the Festival?
Paimon and Issei nods
Paimon: Their not done yet but it won't take long.... ob wait you don't know The Windblume Festival
The Girl's shook their heads confirming it
Paimon: Okay, Windblume is an Event that celebrates Monstadt. the people of Mondstadt offer Windblumes to Barbatos and to those they love and adore. The Windblumes may be accompanied by other gifts, The theme changes every year base on occasions but it's a fun and Joyful Event
Rias and The Girl's minds stopped as they Zoned in on one Name from that Explanation
Rias:... Barbatos?
Paimon: Yes, That's this Nation's Archon, Barbatos. The God Of Winds
Rias's Brain went into thinking mode, Barbatos... On Her world that's a spirit among the 72 Demons in the Lesser Key of Solomon... But Why is that a name of a God here...?
Rias: Excuse me Paimon?
The white Haired Girl turns to her while walking
Paimon: Yes?
Rias: May I ask... What are the names of the rest of the "Archons"
Paimon didn't think much of the question and answered
Paimon: Well there's Morax, Beelzebul or the Raiden Shogun, Buer or Lesser Lord Kusanali or as we like to call her "Nahida", Folcalor was one but now it's just no one, Mavuika, and The Tsaritsa
Her and the Girl's Eyes widen at those Name's. Something was off, If this world has God's then why are some of them named after Demon's of Goetia? Why Solomon? It doesn't makes sense...
They held on to that thought for now as they've crossed the Bridge, Motohama Signaled Kiba and Gasper to Follow him, reminding them of what they were to do
Motohama: Issei, Me and These guy's are gonna break off for a while
The group turns to the Three, curious on why
Issei: Huh? Where are you going?
Motohama: Stormterror's Lair, I'm looking on Training these guys again
Issei: Again? Are you sure? You can take a break that's okay, there's not any danger at the moment
Motohama waved off his statement and began walking off with the guy's
Motohama: Don't worry, I'm just keeping these tool's Sharp!
Before Issei could say anything else, they were already too far away. He sighed and turned around to the Festival.
They walked in to each venue of flowers and browsed around, splitting into many groups and individuals. Paimon stayed with Issei, Rias and Akeno as they look between vendors, checking out many of the merchandises
Akeno: Ise, Look
Issei Looked up to See Akeno with a crown of Cecilia Flowers on her head showing it off to Issei Who smiled softly at her
Issei: You look beautiful Akeno
Akeno: Aw~ thank you Ise
Akeno Giggled as she put the flower crown down. Rias took this time to tap Issei on the shoulder, gaining his attention
Issei: hm?
Rias slots a Windwheel Aster onto her ear while looking at him. Issei Chuckled and smiled
Rias: How do I look?
Issei: You look cute Rias
She blushed and smiled, putting the flower back in its place before moving on. Paimon sees these interactions and couldn't help but to feel a pang mix feelings, She's happy that Her Aether was in a much happier state but was also sad that she couldn't help him when she had the chance
They walked around to see a Wine venue store right next to the stage with a small pink Haired catgirl running it along with a small blonde girl with elf ears in a red outfit playing with her
Issei: Hold on is that....?
Paimon: Oh look it's Diona and Klee
His eyes widen as he Recognizes the two, He felt the urge to go meet them but was still hesitated
Rias: Are they friends of Yours or...
Paimon: Yeah, they're our friends. Aether you have to go see them again
Paimon pulled on his arm and dragged him to the Venue, Leaving Rias and Akeno behind, which they understand and fell back to continue to browse the Store's
Paimon and Issei stopped in front of the store as Paimon calls out
Paimon: Diona! Klee!
The Two Children turned to them to see Paimon and a Brunette Boy
Klee: Oh hello Big Sis Paimon!
Diona: Oh hi Paimon, It's been a while... Hey who's this?
Paimon cleared her throat, Thinking of words to comfortably re-introduce Aether back
Paimon: well, This is.... whipers to issei hey help me here...
Issei jolted and realized that he had to change over
Issei: O-oh! Right...
Issei flicked his right wrist that changed his appearance back over to Aether. Causing the Two's Eye's to almost pop out of their sockets
Diona: W-W-W-What..?
Klee: B-B-B-Big Brother Aether....?
Aether kinda waved awkwardly at the Two, trying to keep his cool
Aether: Hey you two.... it's been a while...
A few seconds of silence goes by and then tears goes down their faces as they practically jumped the stall and hugged him
Klee: UUUUAAA!!! BIG BROTHER AETHER!!!
Diona: IDIOT! IDIOT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!
Their cries causes heads to turn at their general direction, The two held onto him as hard as they can, fearing to let go. Paimon and Aether's face softens at these two children, making him pat their heads, trying to calm them down
Aether: Hey hey don't cry... I'm here-
Barbara: Honorary Knight....?
His Eye's shot up again as he turns to the source of THE Deconess's voice, Seeing Barbara with Grouped together with Asia, Xenovia and Irina, staring his way, trying to hold back any potential Tears.
Barbara: Is that... you...?
Aether lays his Gaze on her, His eyes somber as he answers
Aether: Yes.... It's me-
!?
Barbara Rushed towards him, colliding in a emotional hug, which he obviously gave back. He's now holding three people he held dear in the past. Just letting them have all the time they want while the people around them watch and the ORC Gaze happily at their reunion

With Motohama, Kiba and Gasper. They made it through a ravine path to an old tower structure, In a Wind protection barrier, Stormterror's Lair
Kiba: Alright Motohama... what do you want us to do?
The Glasses Guy looked up to the top of the tower and points to it
Motohama: Let's get up there. I'll explain the rest
Kiba and Gasper nodded, flaring out their Devil Wings as they fly up. Motohama took a few steps back before running and jumping straight up, passing The two in such speeds
Gasper: Oh c'mon!
Motohama made it up top and turned back at the Two
Motohama: HEY! Get your linguine asses up here Faster!
Kiba/Gasper: Oh Fuck you!
The two Blonde's made it up and just glares at him
Kiba: How many are you gonna throw huh?
Motohama laughed
Motohama: Bitch, I have more in the Mag, Not my fault you're both Italians, it's easy pickin's!
The Three turned to the inside interior and surprisingly sees a boyish girl in a green Bard outfit and a teal green dragon next to them, staring back in confusion
Motohama: Oh hey Venti
Venti stared at them, curious on why they're here
Venti: Hello...? I'm sorry, who are you? Why are you here?
Motohama: Oh I'm just here to train these guy's
Motohama presents the Two Blonde's
Motohama: Now that i think about it. Could we actually borrow your dragon? Just for training
Venti looked up to Dvalin who looked back at him
Venti: I... apologize but he and I are busy at the Moment, We're actually going to find someone...
Gasper raises his brow
Gasper: Can I guess who that is? Is it "Aether"?
Venti's blood spikes, his eyes widen as Gasper spoke the name, He immediately rushes to the small blonde, gripping on his shoulders and shakes him
Venti: seriously!? You know him!? Are you his friends!? Where is he right now?!
Gasper grabbed onto Venti's arm's to pry him off, feeling disoriented
Gasper: Yes, Yes, Yes we are, and-
Kiba: He's at the Windblume Festival right now
Venti's Gaze turns to Kiba, feeling relieved and anxious at the same time
Venti: Thank you, THANK you so much... you have no idea how much he means to me
Motohama: No, we can tell. Literally One Fourth of a quarter of the City is infatuated with him
Venti exhales, Finally knowing where to look
Motohama: But now that we told you where to look, We could ask for the Dragon to stay behind and train these two? Just a favor
Venti turns to him with a Smile
Venti: Yes, Absolutely. The fact that You've told me is more than enough. Please, go ahead
Venti walked back to Dvalin to tell him
Venti: Dvalin, I want you to train These people, oblige with whatever these people want okay?
Dvalin turns slowly to the trio, before nodding at Venti
"Understood, Barbatos..."
Venti smiled, before spinning around one more time
Venti: Thank you once again, I'll be going to see him now
Venti thanked them before his body glows green and was about to disappear
Motohama: You're welcome man, just keep your dick in your pants okay?
Venti: Excuse me, Wha-
Then he disappeared. Leaving only Dvalin and the Boys
Motohama: Alright... Dvalin was it?
"Whatever Training regimen do you want...?"
Motohama Grins as he darts his eyes back to the boy's
Motohama: Give them Hell unlike what thy Mam has ever given them before
Kiba and Gasper can't help but gulped at Motohama's words, fearing that this time it might or most likely will be more painful
Dvalin nods as he starts to fly and readys a dragon breath of his
"Then let's have some fun...." Dvalin said, slightly cackling
The Two Blondie's felt their backs aching at that moment. Abot to feel Trembling pain all over their bodies

In a Time stream, A redhead with brown eyes reflecting both Issei and Rias flies through the space time continuum while on a call with someone
