Genshin Impact Various x Priestess Reader

Chapter 6

Ceres P.O.V

As we leave the city of Mondstadt, I started leading both Aether and Paimon towards Windrise where I believe Barbatos is

'If my memory serves me right, the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero should be a little down south from Mondstadt, and I need to be careful not to call Venti by his true name while around Aether or Paimon. Barbatos should be the one to tell them when he's ready' I thought to myself. As we continued walking down the road, Aether spoke up

"Hey, Ceres" I turned to look at Aether "Can you tell me a bit more about your life before you went to slumber?" Aether asked

"I don't mind. What do you want to know?"

"What were you like?" Aether asked

"What was I like? Hmm... I guess you could say I'm a devoted follower of the Seven Archons, I even followed the rules that they had" I said

"Rules? What kind of rules?" Aether asked

"Never interact with people outside of the temple, never make friends, never wander by ourselves unless its for gathering medicinal herbs, never show any emotions and never fall in love" I listed

"What kind of rules are those?! Paimon thinks the rules that the temple had are really dumb!" Paimon said and Aether nodded in agreement

"Even so, we must follow them" I said

"But why would they have those kind of rules?" Aether asked

"They wanted the priestess to stay pure. While growing up, I never had friends or did other things that everyone did in their childhood" I said

"What about your parents? Don't they say anything about it?" Aether asked

"I don't have any parents. I was found by the priestesses and priests at the top of staircase at the temple" I said

"Oh... I'm sorry..." Aether apologized

"It's alright" I said as we talked, I noticed we were almost to the spot "Looks like here"

"Woah! That's one huge tree!" Paimon exclaimed

"That's the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero. Venti should be there" I said

"We got here pretty quick. It was nice talking to you Ceres as we make our way here. Is it alright if I ask you again? I want to know more about you" Aether said

"I don't mind" I said with a smile as we now approach the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero. When we got to the symbol, we walked up the small hill and we saw Barbatos. He turned around and looked at us

"Oh? What are you doing here? Though I was just wondering if you happen to follow me" Barbatos said

"I want to know more about the Anemo God" Aether said

"You speak of the God of Anemo, Barbatos? He already disappeared from Mondstadt a long time ago. Liyue and Inazuma's respective gods of Geo and Electro are still present, but Mondstadt has seen many a moon since they last saw their own god. Why do you wish to know about the God of Anemo? Does it have something to do with Dvalin?" Barbatos asked

"Oh... ahhh... it's because gods..." Paimon has no words to say

"Yes, someone told me about Dvalin's past" Aether answered

"Just how is it that everyone sees Stormterror? I'm quite curious. That said, there's no need to rush..." Then I felt the wind blowing from behind, I turned around and saw the Eye of the Storm and Barbatos let out a sigh "I have not been back in a while, it seems there are few who are unhappy with my arrival"
