[Dadaupa gorge]

60 churls bolted out from all the tribal outposts ranging from club and torch wielding normal hilichurls, shield and axe mitachurls and elemental samachurls, all were aiming at one target,

For any lesser man this would be a last stand, but...

"As much as I want to relish in this moment, unfortunately I have better things to do" he said, building up lightning energy into his palms. Expecting his traditional dual blades.

"What the...?" He said. Expecting the dual daggers, but instead he got two mini scythe in the style of his old swords, though they are much smaller

(A/N: Imagine two versions of this, and also keep in mind the dark parts are black and the unshaded parts are the solidified lightning)

"Did lightning made these?" Looking at his scythes" Ok.. I hope these aren't that different from the twin blades

In a clap of thunder, he blinks with speeds that surpassed natural lightning, straight at a group of 10 hilichurls, with a vertical slash he rend them into dust.

"10 down... " he counted his kills in his head

Then 3 anemo samachurls wave their staffs in the air, summoning 9 tornadoes in his way..

But the tornadoes were far to slow to actually hit him. So in a flash he blinks Infront of the samachurls cutting them into a thousand pieces in a second

The Archer hilichurls from on top of the cliffs then fired and rained arrows like a storm, all aimed at him

"Huh?, typical!..." He said looking at the arrows, he then started focusing...

From his view the world seems to slowdown to a crawl, the energetic flaps of a hummingbird seemed like a falling snowflake by comparison

With a sprint, in quick succession he cut ever single one of arrows into pieces, then going back from his original position as if he never moved a second.

Churls looked completely bewildered from what just happened, or rather had happened when it rained broken arrows

"If you guys weren't primitive, this would be the revelation of your demise" he said.

In the midst of the carnage and unaware to him every attack or action were causing a violent thunderstorm all around the area, like it was a beacon of his dominion over storms

A shield mitachurl behind him then charge with a shield ram, however the churls attempted assault was futile as the boy looks back and cut the shield cleanly in half along with the churls.

Cocking his right scythe back charging it, with swipe he unleash a cresent shape strike at the horde of 10 churls, cutting them like a machete through bamboo

Though the attack was surely powerful, it didn't damage any of the landscape, not even the trees

With this new upgraded version of his elements, even though he is quite new to these. Just judging from the endless flows of lightning energy in him, He could tell that if he didn't held back, he would have sunk this portion of Mondstadt and much more, albeit with effort, though how much effort?, He didn't know but he didn't want to test it out.

The boy then look at the sun and saw that is was approaching dusk. Though kinda disappointed, he needed to end this quickly if he was to make it in time

"You'll are lucky y'know!..." He slightly grins" Alright... I'll make this quick and painless!"

His perspective of time slowed down once again, in a blink he cut down ever single churls like a wheat field fitting for his weapons of choice,

All the churls without even realising has been reduced to brown dust, the gorge was now littered with plumes of smoke

In a huff the boy transforms back.

"Woah!... I was never that sadistic in my lightning form before!?" He thought,

"So.... How was your first run of my upgraded element go?, Hmm" A voice said

"Huh?, Lightning!, you can talk to me?" He said

"Obviously I can, wind did it first" he replied

"Wind never talk to me after though?" He said

"Brother we're simply to busy to constantly converse with you, thats why we decided to mainly talk to you on your dreams" he replied

"Oh, ok then" he said

"Speaking of being busy, I unfortunately have to cut this conversation short" he said

"Really?, But have you yet to tell the others about my plan" he asked

"No I haven't yet but thanks for reminding me" he replied

"Ok, well then bye... I guess" he said. After that lifting went quiet and absent

The boy went to the biggest hilichurl outpost to the northeast of the gorge. Looking around the area to see if they were any trace of the Lynn backpack, along with the stolen food and goods. He look at a large circular platform, presumably a arena judging by how primal the hilichurls were.

Although he thought its interesting and quite impressive how the churls were able to make this with there primitive intelligence

He kept walking around the outpost, until stumbling upon a giant cooking pot with some fire flowers at the bottom for a heat source, however that isn't what got his attention

Right next to it was a giant pile of farmers goods, along with Lynn bag right at the bottom of it.

"Woah, I didn't know they stole this much!" He said. Looking at the stacks, he wondered how he'd be able to carry all this, until he remembered

"Oh right!," He remembered "howls of wind!"

He chanted changing into his wind, he grab Lynn backpack and then surrounding the pile of goods in a sphere and wind,

He then flew back to lynn's location....

[Lynn's pov]

"Oh my- oh my god!" Gasping as I witness his borderline slaughter of all the hilichurls tribes. His attacks with were so fast that he seemed unmoving, like he never left his position. Watching his brutal yet swift strikes meanwhile a storm is casting over the gorge. I watch him go into a stance, and then all the hilichurls just turned to smoke... I was speechless, Ive never anything moves so fast not even actually lightning.

*Thud!*

"HAA!!" I Yelp when a large pile of foods and goods drop down behind catching me off the guard. The boy  who I assumed drop these, then levitated down with a my backpack at hand

"Here you go" he said giving me my back, I then opened it and scoured inside, hoping to barbatos that it was safe. With a relief smile I grab a book out of the bag

"Oh thank barbatos, it's safe!" I said

"Say.. What is that book all about exactly?" He asked.

"Oh. Um this book holds all the ingredients and recipes I've made" I replied

"So it's pretty much your life work?" He said

"Yup" I replied

"Speaking of recipes and ingredients. Are you going to get those flowers now?" He asked

"To be honest, I think I'll just search for them in a different time and place, because I'm kinda getting of tired of being chase by hilichurls for, like the thirteenth time these past weeks" I replied. The boy replied himself with a raise eyebrow

"Thirteenth time?, These past weeks!?" He replied concerned

"Oh, im guessing lumine and Paimon didn't tell you about..." I paused awkwardly "My bad luck when it comes to hilichurls"

"And... Your just going to let that keep happening to you?" He asked, obviously concern about my misfortunes

"Its not like that!, but rather I can't do anything about it. I mean I don't have a vision, or even a shred of fighting experience, so I'm practically a sitting duck when it happens" I replied

"Hmm... Then, would you like some Training?" He replied. I raised an eye brow in curiosity

"Training in what?" I asked

"In fighting, what else" he replied

"Oh um... While I like offer, I- I do not want to bother you or anything, especially your quite busy" I replied

"True, but I really do insist" he said

"No no nonono!, you really don't need to do this for me" he replied.

"Well... If you really don't, then I wont force you" he said with glint of disappointment "but, please. Atleast stay out of trouble"

He look at the sky. Curious by this I did too and saw that it was pretty much dusk, surprising how time just flies

"It's now dusk.." he said

"Which means more monsters will arrive!" I said

"Then i'll carry you home" He said. Expending his right hand to the pile of goods, and then his left to me, me and the pile were now incase in a sphere of wind blue wind

"Woah! Woah- what the-!"

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be fearful about... Trust me" he reasurred. Nodding at his words I then calmed down,

With a leap he bolts upwards in the sky, along with me and the pile of goods. Even though we're going ridiculously fast, I didn't feel any velocity thanks to the wind sphere, to my ABSOLUTE relief!

[Mondstadt city]

[Third person perspective]

Lumine signed in exhaustion all the while paimon was sleeping on her left shoulder. Going through the entrance gate she then look at the list and categories of commissions she'd finished

"Clear a couple hilichurls camps, all check. Deliver supplies, all check. Complete requested domains, all check" she listed all the commissions she'd finished. She then look up to see nightfall was approaching "huh?, looks it almost night"

Finishing rounding out the commissions, she approached Katharine inorder to be gifted the rewards

"Oh, lumine. Have you finish the commissions?" Katherine asked. Lumine then gave her the list of commissions, all completed

"Yes" she replied. Katherine then reach under her booth to grab a bag of mora,

"Splendid!, Now here are your rewards" she handing her the rewards

"Thanks Katherine" lumine replied. she was about to head on towards HQ inorder to meet up with Kaeya, until she halted her steps when she heard a whistle like sound, it resembled something approaching high speeds

Then all of a sudden a blue clothed figure with two large sphere of wind, then flew into Mondstadt, straight to the center and Infront of good hunters. The sudden roar of wind knock paimon out of her rest

"Huh!, Wha!- What was that!?" Paimon exclaimed

"It's boboiboy" lumine replied. She then ran towards the boy and calling him out" hey Boboiboy!"

"Oh! Hi lumine, so how did your commissions went?" Boboiboy said. With a snap he released both Lynn and the goods, after the gesture he transformed back

"It was fine actually, how abou-" she cut herself off when she say Lynn. At first paimon and lumine raised an eyebrow in confusion, until it turned into a deadpanned once they put the pieces together "Lynn..."

"Um. Yes lumine?" She nervously replied

"Did you get yourself into trouble again?" She strictly

"From where exactly?" Paimon asked

"Dadaupa gorge" she nervously replied. in which the two replied in wide eyes

"What! Dadaupa gorge!" Lumine said

"Lynn, that's literally hilichurls territory, and let me guess to get some ingredients!" Paimon exclaimed. Replied with a shy nod "If boboiboy wasn't there, you'd be a goner!"

"Speaking of, boboiboy. Why were you in dadaupa?" lumine asked

"Oh, Sara told me that hilichurls stole another supply of their delivery this morning, and apparently they were stashing them in the settlements in gorge" he replied

"Geez!, Talk about insane luck RIGHT LYNN!" paimon said infuriated, which cause Lynn to shrivel in fear a tiny bit.

"Look, paimon. I know that her luck with hilichurls and or Monsters in general can be a bit, well worse then the average person to put lightly, but you don't need to berate her like" boboiboy said

"Yeah, but still!. The previous times we've saved her, it was passable since she was in non churl territory and got caught of guard. But dadaupa gorge? REALLY!, that place is literally considered hilichurls domain, And you went there!, Like seriously Lynn" paimon berate her even more.

"I'm so SO sorry paimon!, And lumine, I truly am" she said on her knees in a
Apology gesture "It's just... my curiosity and confidence keeps getting the better of me, and drifts me into dangerous direction"

"Then try to control it Lynn, remember the old saying 'curiosity killed the cat', and overconfidence will only lead you astray. You can't just keep relaying on people near by to help, especially if there isn't any" lumine said

"I will lumine! I will!" She said

"Well you better!" Paimon said

Boboiboy decided to stay silent. He felt bad for Lynn, both for her curiosity fuelling her misfortunes, and the constant scolding of paimon, but it not like he was apposed to her berating because in all honesty and sincerity, it was understandable.

Paimon was simple speaking out with worry and compassion for a friend. And he can't be against that since a friend must remind another of their limits and faults

"Hmm, I wonder where Sara could be?" he thought walking and looking around good hunters,

Boboiboy then heard a pair of foot steps to the left. He then look at said direction, and saw Sara in casual mondstadt clothing instead of her usual waitress outfit approaching

"Oh, boboiboy!" Sara said

"Hi Sara!, I was wondering where you were" he said

"My work shift, just ended like half an hour ago, and I just came here to check if I might have miss something, just in case" she replied

"I see, well here are the goods I promise to bring back" he said pointing the large pile. Sara was surprise of how much they were

"Woah!, I didn't expected there would be so much, like I'd fully expected most if not all of the supplies would have been eaten up already" she said gracing her fingers in the pile

"Yeah, I was suprise too" he said

"But anyways, thank you so SO much for this!" she said

"Don't worry about it" boboiboy replied "So would you like me to help you carry these inside?"

"Oh no need thank you, you've already helped enough for today" Sara said. Grabbing her and opening the door she started carrying the supplies inside one by one. Even though they were quite heavy, she was already experienced with this types of things.

After that he walk back to the other three and judging from the look of it they manage to calm down a bit

"So... How have you guys managed to settle things out?" He asked

"Yeah, paimon and lumine gave me proper tips on how to outwit and escape hilichurls that are chasing" Lynn replied

"Really?, That sounds great!" He said

"Yeah, but remember Lynn, just because we gave you tips doesn't mean you'll abuse them" paimon said

"I know... I know" she replied with a hint of annoyance

When the sun finally disappeared from the sky, the stars in the dark sky and street lamps in the city lit up to signal the coming of night

"It's nighttime, which means the black market exchange" all three miraculously thought the same

"Huh, ok guys I'd probably be best for me to head home, so see ya!" Lynn said walking out and waving back

"Bye Lynn" boboiboy waved goodbye as well

After Lynn was out of earshot, the trio huddled up together for private conversation

"So... Guys, do we immediately go to the whispering woods?" Paimon whispered

"But which part of the woods?, Kaeya never told us" boboiboy whispered back

"Oh right, he never did. But where do we find him though?" lumine whispered

"His must likely in HQ waiting, so we better head there" he whispered. The other two nodded

The trio sprinted towards HQ in hurry and anticipation, mainly from paimon who was ecstatic from the chance to even glance at this supposedly 'godly sword'. Lumine was conflicted as to whether or not it was wise to not tell the others about this said treasure. Boboiboy on the other hand, had a different thought....

"Kaeya!... if this whole thing is just an elaborate wild goose chase, I swear!... "
