He had been hearing the whispers on the wind telling of what was transpiring in Snezhnaya. The Tsaritsa, now having all 7 gnoses, had warged war on Celestia. Although the news was… worrying, to say the least, he did not outwardly show it. No, instead he continued singing at the Angel’s share and near the statue as he usually did, not allowing himself to be plagued by such thoughts. If it was not an immediate concern to his children, why should he fuss over it? This was his mindset until the moment the wind practically dragged him to the outskirts of Mondstadt. Here, he was far from the city, far from where collateral damage would have to be considered. ~~Why did he have to consider that? Mondstadt was at peace, Teyvat was not at war, so why…~~ the wind surrounding him was in a frenzy by now. Usually, he was fine communicating with his own element. But in times like these, where so many voices converged at once, it was difficult to discern what the winds were trying to tell him. Eventually, he had managed to pick up the important parts: because of the Tsaritsa’s rebellion, the gods who had lost in the initial archon war had grown bold, threatening the seven’s position. His face grew serious in that way it so rarely did. He summoned Dvalin, warning the dragon of the winds’ words. Dvalin understood, he always did, and he vowed to protect him until he couldn’t. Despite no longer being one of the four winds, he was thankful that Dvalin had decided to assist him anyway. He told the dragon to head to the city, at least warn the knights while he himself prepared for the fallout of multiple gods’ deaths. He knew that no matter how much he tried, few would listen with words alone. So, he got to preparing. And that was exactly what he was doing when he detected footsteps not far from him. He did not detect hostility, at least no immediate hostility, so he kept his back turned as he spoke

“Why hello there adventurer! Have you sought me out for a song or two? Or maybe you have come to offer some wine?”

TLDR: the gods that lost the original archon war are growing bold, threatening the seven’s position. Not willing to trust his people in the hands of another god, Venti fights back.
