Chapter 9: Chapter: The Girl in White.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After sitting against the mystical angel-
like statue I felt my eyes growing ever so
weary, and was unable to fight the
compelling urge to rest. Then a profound
sense of safety washed over me, if I didn't
know any better I would think it was some
sort of magical influence the statue
possessed. What ever the case, this warm
safe feeling was comparable only too being
held in a lover's embrace. I'll surrender
myself to this compelling sleep… and in the
morning… To Mondatadt!

The timid tangerine sun peaked over
the ocean amidst the cotton like clouds just
beyond the falcon coast, tolling the start of
a new day. For some, it was just a regular
day. for others, adventure beckoned
turning them into stalwart adventurers. But
for Mathias, this was the first day waking up
in Teyvat.
For the first time in a long time, Mathias awoke
not to the sound of his own screams…. But to
the songs the birds chirped, and the rush of
running water.… Aside from being back in his
teenage body, and being sent to another world,
a peaceful rest was the best thing to happen to
him! Ready to face the new day Mathias
stood up, dusting blades of grass from
his pants. He raised his arms above his
head interlocking his fingers; then
quenched his insatiable need to stretch as
he tightened the muscles in his abdomen
followed by his lower back. From the bottom
he contracted the lower and mid section of
his back, then retracting his shoulders, and
pinching his shoulder blades together.
~Ssck~
The center of his torso let out a soothing
crack, which led to mathias leaning as far to
the left as he could then right
~sk~khk~khk~khk~
A few of His vertebrae followed suit,
crackling as he stretched.
"That's. What. I'm. Talking about!" He
exclaimed full of vigor, looking northwest
towards the supposed city of Mondstadt.
With some pep in his step Mathias
made his way towards the hills, jogging
passed the statue to the dirt road that
looked too lead where Mathias was
heading.
He walked the trail and saw an assortment
of birds, some flocking together,
others searching for their morning meal. He
also saw a small reddish-orange fox like
creature, that wandered onto the dirt trail.
"Hey there lil' fella" He softly greeted, slowing
his pace to a sloth's crawl.
As soon as the fox like creature noticed
Mathias, it scurried away, dashing in a
serpentine pattern.
"Ya, I don't blame you." Mathias rhetorically
remarked to himself as he continued onward.
Taking in his surroundings as he walked the
trail, Mathias began hearing a whirling
noise. To his ears it sounded like an
industrial fan spooling up. Then for a split
moment there was silence, followed by a
blast of air.
"The hell is that?" He wondered.
With his curiosity piqued yet again, Mathias
turned his leisurely walk into a brisk jog.
He followed the intermittent whirling sound
off the trail, past a few hearty trees.
indistinguishable chatter could be heard
coming from in-front of him.
Before too long, two figures came into
view; The first was that of a floating child-
sized person with whitish hair wearing a
gold hemmed white bodysuit with black
streaks stylishly strewn across, paired with
white boots. The other… a dazzling, petite,
blonde haired young women who wore a
white slit skirt with blue trim, white stockings
and boots to match.
Mathias was absolutely captivated by
the young blonde women; so much so, that
he hadn't realized he had stopped jogging
and was now idly starring.
He observed the young blonde
women brace herself, assuming a long
stance, a meter between the heel of one
foot and the toes of the other. Resting her
weight on her hips and knees, she raised
her left hand, palm open. The young women
took in a deep breath and held it as she
narrowed her brows focusing her
concentration. Bracing the raised arm, the
young women held her forearm and exhaled
sharply. Curling her fingers, the young
women tried to catch the wind! As if it were
an orb that fit her hand
~vrrmmshs!~
Amidst her palm, the wind swirled like a
vortex, pulling everything within a short
distance in-front of her, towards her.
She held the vacuum like vortex for about 6-
seconds before it dispersed, and she
collapsed to the ground on her knees,
exhaustingly panting.
"Hey! You did it!" The flying child-like figure
squeaked, praising the young women.
Out of breath, the collapsed young women
nodded her head, acknowledging the praise
of her floating companion.
Mathias overcame his awestruck, and
slowly began to approach. He tried to
quietly reveal his presence; as to not alarm
them. However, his cautious antics would
work against him; when he carelessly
fell for thee oldest of stealth clichés… the
thunderous: twig snap.
With his attention ahead of where he was
walking mathias failed to notice the plethora
of sticks and twigs that littered the
wilderness.
~Snap!~
He instantly froze, the sound alone had petrified
his muscles.
"!!!"
The young women and her floating
companion instinctively turned their
attention towards the sound that interrupted
the peaceful ambiance.
With no difficulty The young women saw
Mathias standing amongst the flourishing
shrubs and sprouting trees.
Her gaze met his.
It just occurred to Mathias just how
suspicious his approach seemed, and tried
salvaging the situation before it became
disastrous.
Mathias reflexively raised his empty hands
to his chest, bending at the elbows. It's a
gesture mathias found himself often using
back in his old world, which meant: I mean
you no harm. As he walked out of the
wooded area and into open view.
The young women's floating companion
shrieked as mathias entered into open view
"Eek! A TREASURE HOARDER!!… No, wait he
doesn't look like your run-of-the-mill bandit…"
The young women nodded in agreement as
she staggered to her feet.
Mathias didn't retain anything the floating
companion said, he couldn't get past how
SHE sounded like a toddler… no! A child.
"Hhhhhuh?! Paimon thinks he could be part
of the Fatui!!!" The floating child companion
shockingly exclaimed, flying behind the
young women.
"Be careful Lumine!" She added softly from
over the young women's shoulder
