(On Hold) The Snezhnaya Traveler

Chapter 1

Mondstadt is the city of freedom, a city without a ruler. The city that worships Barbatos, the Anemo Archon. Also a city with a very fine wine might I add. In a nearby forest a lone figure is walking on the dirt road heading towards the city. This figure is a tall male wearing all black clothing with a skull face mask. His sharp E/C orbs continues to look forward along with his short raven hair that slightly covers his right eye. He hears the birds singing happily as the sun shines brightly high up in the sky. He feels the gentle wind hit his soft S/C. This is Y/N, a traveler from Snezhnaya. He continues to walk along the dirt road until suddenly a shadow pass by above him. He look up and see a huge dragon soaring through the sky. He smirked behind his mask

You: Interesting...

Nevertheless, he continues his journey by walking out from the forest. He approached the city gates of Mondstadt as two guards stood on either side of the huge double doors. The two guards who are apart of the Knights of Favonius noticed his presence and were immediately on guard due to his suspicious clothing and the fact that he wears a face skull mask isn't helping

Favonius Knight 1: Halt! Who are you? State your business?

The person in question calmly raised his hands in a surrender motion hoping to not cause any unnecessary troubles with the Knights of Favonius

You: The name's Y/N and I'm just a traveler from Snezhnaya here to visit Mondstadt. I know what I wear is very suspicious and so on, but I promise you that I will not cause any troubles to you

Both Favonius Knights look at each other clearly uncomfortable with a very suspicious man entering the city but decides to put some trust into him. They both salutes and welcomes him with small smiles on their faces

Favonius Knight 2: Sorry about that, strange yet respectable traveler. We had our guards up incase if the hilichurls tries to attack us

You: Hmm? May I ask why?

Favonius Knight 1: The hilichurls have been setting up camps much closer to the city as of recently. Usually they would set up camps further away but they have become more daring

Favonius Knight 2: We think it's because of the dragon "Stormterror" has been around a lot more recently. So, we're pretty much tied up doing our best in protecting the city. Anyway, let us introduce the city of wind, dandelions and freedom- Travelers under the protection of the Knights of Favonius- Welcome to Mondstadt!

They both salutes again

Both Favonius Knights: May the Anemo God protect you!

Y/N nodded as thanks before walking passed the two guards and the city's gate. He look around only to see that not many people walking around and see that they are all not in the best of mood. He continues to walk deeper in Mondstadt and take in everything that is happening around him. He saw that some shops has been closed along with fewer people walking in the street. He suddenly feels a bit hungry and decides to grab bite after a long journey. He goes to the stall named "Good Hunter" where a lady stands behind the counter. The lady noticed his presence and was almost scared due to his outfit but put on a smile

Lady: Hi there! I have never seen you before, are a traveler?

You: Yes, actually. I'm indeed a traveler, from Snezhnaya to be precise. I'm kinda hungry after traveling for so long, what kind of dish would you recommend to me?

In order to not scare her more, he spoke calmly and politely to make her relaxed to which it works

Lady: From Snezhnaya, ey? Well, I would recommend either Sweet Mandane or Sticky Honey Roast. They're both our top dishes
