"Wow, this place is so..." Beautiful, Aether thinks to himself as Paimon speaks, but the squealing voice of his companion finishes her sentence otherwise. "...creepy!"

Maybe this was true; the place was completely abandoned. Aether still managed to stumble upon it in his, as always, in-depth investigation of Teyvat's every corner. It wasn't easy getting here; through many monsters and obstacles on the road, he did it anyway. And he doesn't regret all the struggle, even if he could see no treasure yet.

"Ah, all this made me so hungry. Aren't you starving, too? I think I remember you making that...hey, heeey! Traveler! Are you listening?" Paimon continues to talk, but Aether, in fact, does not listen. He walks forward, towards what caught his eye. He can only hear Paimon pout and then disappear somewhere, leaving him alone.

Aether carefully removes what was covering the item. His eyes widen once he realizes what it is - a beautiful statue glowing with unknown energy. The thing is, he definitely knew it wasn't any of the Seven. He heard that after the Archon War, all other Gods were dead. So why does he feel such power from it? His hand slowly reaches for it. Should he?...

"Hello?" Aether flinches and backs away slightly, however, when someone could be heard approaching from behind. Little did he know that he was standing in front of the object of all these questions at this moment.
