3rd POV. Chief's House, Aaru Village.

With the truth being revealed......

It is now time to act.

An unexpected crew composing of.....

Aether, the Honorary Knight of Favonius and Hero of Liyue.

Paimon, Aether's Companion (and Emergency Food).

Alhaitham, the Scribe of the Akademiya.

Cyno, Former General Mahamatra.

Dehya, the Flame Mane.

Last but not the least.....

Enkidu, the Servant of the Dendro Archon, the Chains of Heaven.

With the crew already inside, they began discussing the plan to save Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Also, since they felt they are going for war......

The majority agreed to elect Enkidu as the General because of his experiences during the Archon War.

With that aside, they began discussing the plan.....

Debates and arguments went along, with somehow Enkidu mediating with his insights.

With the plan complete......

Paimon: Are you sure this is gonna work?

Dehya: I got to admit, it's bold. Color me impressed.

Cyno: It's worth the try. Although, Enkidu, are you sure about this "last resort" that you're talking about?

Enkidu: If we're going to fight this "god" that the Akademiya created.....

Alhaitham: Then a godslayer, such as you, Enkidu, you will become our fighting hand.

Alhaitham: And since you know Sumeru like the back of your hand, you're going to be the core of this plan.

Alhaitham: That's why, as much as possible, we need you to be in the shadows for a while.

Alhaitham: Transform into a bird or something.

Enkidu: Yeah. I was planning on doing that. Also....

Enkidu: Here, take these.

Enkidu used the Gate of Babylon to produce gems.

Dehya: What's with these sparkly gems?

Enkidu: They aren't just sparkly gems. These are communication devices that allows us to transfer our thoughts to one another.

Paimon: Telepathy! Nice going!

Cyno: And how would that work?

Enkidu: Pick a gem that you like then I'll pick mine.

Cyno picked a topaz, while Enkidu chose the emerald.
