Chapter Text
“So… What you’re trying to say is that you fell here from another world? But when you wanted to leave and go to the next world, your path was blocked by some unknown god?” A high pitched voice asked.
“And just like that, the god took away my sister. Some kind of seal was cast upon me, and I lost my power. So while we used to travel from world to world, we are now trapped here.” A blond boy recounted solemnly, drawing pictures in the sand. “How many years ago was it? I don’t know… but I intend to find out. When I woke up, I was all alone – until I met you two months ago…”
“Yeah, Paimon really owes you for that. Otherwise Paimon likely would have drowned.” A tiny, floating girl said, a sheepish look on her face. “So, Paimon will do her best to be a great guide!”
Paimon placed her hand on her hips in a proud, confident manner. Twirling around in the air, her white hair and floating halo bouncing at the movement. “We should head off. Let’s get going!”
The girl flew off as the traveler rose from the stone he was sitting on. Walking through the beach, soft waves splashing against his shoes as the morning sun glinted on the surface of the water. Paimon flew ahead, starry cape waving in the wind. A crab scurrying away as they approached. The initial walk was silent, just the sound of waves and rustling leaves were heard, pleasantly cool wind blowing against their face. The path they walked on slowly morphed into a mountain trail, surrounded by grass and rocks. Paimon stopped as a small cliff blocked the path.
“The path ends here – guess we’ll just have to climb,” she said as she floated up to the top, leaving the traveler to actually climb the stone wall. Reaching the top, a waterfall could be seen peaking out over the crest of the hillpath.
“Okay, let’s take the route we planned!” Paimon said, dredging on down the reappearing path. The sound of the rushing water was pleasant to the ears, adding to the tranquil scenery of the forest. Paimon's cheerful voice could be heard once again, “ we’re off to… a Statue of The Seven!”
“Which of The Seven are you looking for exactly?” Paimon asked, tilting her head. The traveler could only shrug. He didn’t really know who The Seven were, what they looked like, or what they did. But since they were considered the deities of this world, it seemed like the best option for finding the god that took his sister, or at the very least get information about them. Appearing at a cliffside, the two looked out over the breathtaking sight of a clearing. Birds flying in the distance, cliffs encasing the clearing, and the silhouette of a town could be seen over yonder.
“Oh wowww! That’s a statue of The Seven!” Paimon pointed at a large stone statue in the distance, located on a small island surrounded by water and lush greenery. “There are a few of these statues scattered across the land to show The Seven’s protection over the world. Amongst the seven gods, this god controls the wind. Paimon’s not sure if the god you’re looking for is the Anemo God, but… Paimon’ll take you to the Anemo God’s place first, and there’s a reason why~”
The traveler nodded, following Paimon as she flew off down the path.
“As we all know, poetry and language flow like the wind… there’ll definitely be someone there who knows about your sister. At least, that’s what Paimon thinks! Whether the gods actually answer you is a different story. You never know unless you try. So, let’s hop to it!” Paimon explained. The traveler was glad to have met her. He would have been so lost without her and the cheerful attitude she has greatly helps as well. The path leading down the ledge wasn’t too long. A bit of a wide, downward spiral, occasionally covered by trees overhead. Swiftly arriving at the waters edge.
“You can swim right over!” Paimon told him as she flew over the water surface, waiting for him at the shore on the other side. The water was cool. The initial shock from the temperature quickly vanished and he swam across, happy to be on solid ground again. Looking at the tall statue, it depicted a figure clad in a hooded robe, cupping a ball in its hands, a set of wings jutting out of its back and encasing the figure. The statue was old, cracked all over and broken down in places but with the goldwork still intact at the lower part. A gust of wind came from behind the traveler, urging him forward while simultaneously drying his clothes.
He placed a hand on the shield like goldwork, feeling the cool metal through his glove. Small light mint sparks appeared, glowing around the traveler. The diamond shaped engravings on the gold lit up with the same light. A rush of the magical light ascended the statue and the sphere in its hand started glowing beautifully. A light orb emerged, a winglike symbol hovering in the middle. The orb rushed towards him, making a spin around him before connecting with the travelers abdomen. In its place, a small diamond like symbol appeared below his navel. The traveler could faintly feel the power of the wind flowing through him. Tracing the diamond marking, he could feel some raised skin in the middle, feeling a distinct winged symbol.
“Ooh! Did you just feel the element of the world? Seems all you had to do was just touch the statue and you got the power of Anemo!” Paimon excitedly said, practically beaming with delight. Crossing her arms, she continued, “as much as they may want it, people in this world can never get a hold of powers as easily as you…”
“I think I know why… it’s because…” the traveler trailed off, lost in thoughts, Paimon stepped in, knowing what he was about to say.
“Ah-ha, it’s because you’re not from this world to begin with. If we keep heading west from here, we’ll eventually reach Mondstadt, the City of Freedom” She said, turning and pointing towards the city’s silhouette. “Mondstadt is the city of wind, because they worship the God of Anemo. So perhaps, because you got the power from the God of Anemo, you can find some clues there. There are also lots of bards there, so perhaps one of them has heard news about your sister.”
The traveler gave her a nod. Her suggestion sounded reasonable. It’s not far from where he first woke up, so being the first city to come across, his sister might have passed by. And most bards were good at getting their hand on new stories, if not a bit exaggerated.
“Let’s move then! The elements in this world responded to your prayer and Paimon thinks that’s a lovely sign.” Paimon said reassuringly. Giving the traveler a small smile,
The moment was cut short as a weird, squelching sound was heard from behind them, accompanied with the air heating up around them. Paimon was the first to notice what was happening.
"Watch out!” She shouted, pointing behind the traveler. She was a moment too late as the creature jumped onto the traveler, pushing him down to the ground. A soft, warm blob was sitting on his back, pushing him down.
“It’s a Pyro slime!” Paimon helpfully added.
Struggling underneath the slime, the boy could feel its gelatinous body encasing his own. The warmth of the monster caused sweat to start trailing down his forehead, his clothes clinging to his body.
He tried materializing his sword, but the seal put upon him by the unknown god seems to have affected that aspect as well. His sword, once majestic with a fiery, red blade and golden hilt, now looks like a standard iron sword.
As he’s bewildered at the change in weaponry, the traveler starts feeling some of the slime's body entering his clothes. At first it was just some of the slime's moldable body running up and down his back before starting to migrate to his sides, inching closer and closer to the front of his chest.
"Ah!" The traveler let out a small groan as some of the slime bypassed his belt, making its way down to his folds, heating up the area it touches. As the slime's appendage was hovering right above the traveler's clit, he was able to conjure up a ball of strong wind pushing the slime up and off of him before it exploded in the air.
The traveler was breathing heavily as he rose to his feet and picking his sword back up before de-materializing it.
"Wow!" Paimon exclaimed as she came out of her hiding spot behind the statue. "These are the Anemo powers you got from the Statue of The Seven. Aww… Paimon’s so jealous! Why doesn’t Paimon get cool fighting power!?
Paimon surged towards the traveler, flying a few laps around him to inspect his body. Slowing down before stopping, she reaches a tiny hand out to touch the reddening skin on the traveler's back, wincing at the touch, no matter how light it was. Paimon quickly jerked her han away.
“Oh, Sorry! Anyway, let’s get going! Just follow the trail ahead.” She said, disintegrating into a sea of constellations. The traveler has seen her doing it before. Some sort of subspace she’s able to retreat to, similarly to the mechanics of his own sword. Apparently, after saving her, a connection between the two had been made. Paimon had explained it as a form of symbiotic relationship which was created from the traveler touching her. Her constellation subspace was now connected to him, being the point of return once she rematerialized and he could still hear her speak while inside. She had mentioned about him now being a power source for her, but what the power was or what it needed, she didn’t say.
Leaving the island, walking down the dirt trail, jumping down boulders and picking up some flowers as he went. Birds flew around him and other small critters scurried around the grass. A loud screech was heard. Looking up, a blue dragon-like creature flew past overhead, disappearing into the forest below.
“Wow! What is that!? There’s something huge, in the sky! It’s headed towards the heart of the forest. We must proceed with caution.” Paimon's voice resonated in his head. The traveler nodded in agreement as he made his way towards the treeline, the path inside being surrounded by tall rocks. Fallen trees lay on the ground as he goes deeper into the forest
Spotting the giant creature, the traveler quickly hid behind a tree, its trunk thick enough to conceal his presence. Peeking out from around the tree, he could see the creature clearly. It was majestic, its huge wings were clad in light blue feathers, blending to a dark blue at its tips, the underside glowing with a butterfly-like pattern. Two horns were situated on its forehead and spikes running down its spine. Long talonlike claws were holding onto the huge rock it was sitting on, connected to a pear of dark gray, scaly legs. Three long, lilac feathers were sprouting from the corners of its glowing, piercing blue eyes. Its head was bent down looking at a boy dressed in green, holding his hands out towards it.
“Don't be afraid… It's alright now, I’m back.” A soft voice could faintly be heard from the boy.
“Is he talking… to a dragon?” Paimon asked, stunned at the scene before them. Suddenly, a bust of power erupted from the traveler’s hand. Both of them gasped, startled. The dragon reacted to the noise, roaring out and slashing his claws at the boy, who was able to dodge.
“Who’s there!?” The soft voice now had a demanding tone. The dragon shook its body before screeching again. The boy backed away before disappearing into streaks of light. The dragon lifted off, flying away leaving harsh winds to push at Paimon and the traveler.
“That was close! Paimon almost got blown away! Luckily Paimon managed to grab a hold of your hair! Thanks.” Paimon smiled at the traveler with a cheeky smile.
“Good thing you didn’t pull my hair out.” The traveler said, running his hand down his braid, inspecting it for damage. Paimon's face quickly flushed with embarrassment at his statement before shifting to a concerned one.
“Just what was that? Paimon thought we were gonna get eaten.” Paimon said, exasperated. Crossing her arms and putting a hand on her chin, she hummed thoughtfully. “It definitely has something to do with that weirdo who was talking to the dragon…”
“I can’t believe dragons exist in this world…” The traveler had a concerned look on his face.
“Yeah, Paimon gets why you’re worried…” Paimon said sympathetically. Her eyes glancing to the side were caught by something. “Oh? What’s that? There’s some kind of shiny red thingy on the big rock over there… Let’s go take a closer look.”
Approaching the shining object, Paimon added a word of warning, “be careful! paimon doesn’t have a good feeling about this…”
Nevertheless, they got onto the rock. On the rock they found a teardropped shaped crystal, shining a crimson red floating above the ground.
“Paimon’s never seen a stone like this before, so Paimon can’t tell what it is. All Paimon knows is that it’s dangerous. Best we put it away for now.” she said as she sucked the stone into the subspace. “Okay, we’ve got it! Now let’s get out of here.”
Jumping down from the rock. They continued on the road out. The end of the forest was just up ahead, simple grass plains could be seen from where they were. Walking out of the lush forest, they heard a voice.
“Hey, You! Stop right there!” A brunette in red came running, jumping down the side cliff, effortlessly dampening her fall with a somersault. She puts a hand on her hip as she turns to face them.
“May the Anemo God protect you, stranger! I am Amber, Outrider for the Knights of Favonius.” She said, performing some form of a salute. Relaxing her posture, she looked the traveler up and down. “You don’t look like citizens of Mondstadt. Explain yourselves!”
“We’re not looking for trouble.” Paimon hastily explained, waving her hands in front of her to emphasize her denial.
“That’s what all the troublemakers say:” Amber retorted. Crossing her arms, she looked at the floating Paimon with suspicion.
“Hello, I’m Aether.” The traveler said, trying to quell the Outriders suspicions.
“...Doesn’t sound like a local name to me.” Amber said defensively, her eyes shooting over to Paimon. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “And this… mascot, what’s the deal with it?”
"Emergency food.” The traveler said, straight faced. Amber’s eyebrows raised in surprise and Paimon quickly turned towards him, exasperation written all over her expression.
“Hey! That’s even worse than being a mascot!” Paimon huffed out. Stomping her feet in the air in frustration.
“So to sum it up, you’re traveling partners, right?” Amber asked cautiously. How she got that from the traveling called Paimon ‘Emergency food’ is a mystery, but she’s not wrong so the traveler just nodded. After she got the confirmation her expressions changed to a more serious one. “Well look, there’s been a large dragon sighted around Mondstadt recently. Best you get inside the city as soon as possible. It’s not far from here, I’ll escort you there.”
“Oh? Aren’t you out here for some other reason?” Paimon asked.
“I am. But not to worry, I can keep you both safe while doing that too.” Amber answered confidently, putting her hands on her hips and proudly puffing her chest out. Her face went back to a serious look before adding, “besides… I’m still not sure if I can trust you two just yet”
“That’s a rather rude way to speak to guests.” The traveler said, perplexed. He was confused about the suspicions, not fully understanding her switch in attitude.
“Oh, ahh… I’m sorry. Probably not something I should say as a knight. I give you my apologies, uh… strange yet… respectable travelers.” She said stiffly, as though reading from a script. She gave a coy smile, trying to disguise her awkwardness.
“That sounded so fake!” Paimon accused, pouting.
“Do you have something against the type of language usage prescribed by the Knight of Favonius Handbook!?” Amber retorted. While she may not be fully comfortable with that way of speaking, it was clear she was truly proud of being a part of the knighthood. Amber motioned for the traveler and Paimon to follow her as they started walking the path winding the meadow. The occasional slime would appear, but would swiftly be dealt with by a shot from Amber's bow.
“So, suspicious travelers, what are you doing in Mondstadt?”Amber asked. Trying to make conversations while also fishing for more information. She was clearly still suspicious of them, but tried to disguise it as friendly chatter.
“Aether got separated from his sister during a really, really long journey. Paimon is his travel buddy, helping him to find his sister.” Paimon answered honestly without giving too much away of their origins. The previous suspicion fell from Amber's face, looking at the traveler with pity.
“Oh, looking for your family… huh. Ah… Okay! Let me finish my other stuff first, and then I can help you put up posters around the city.” Amber offered sincerely. The look on her face was now soft, clearly regretting her earlier suspicion. Placing a hand on the traveler's shoulder, she gave it a reassuring squeeze. Her expression morphed into one of determination, now committed to doing what she can to help him in his search.
“What exactly is it you need to finish doing first?" Paimon asked curiously. The traveler had wondered the same thing but thought it would be rude to ask so he was happy Paimon did it. Amber focused, turning back into her knightly self before answering.
“It’s simple. You’ll understand in a bit.” Amber went on ahead, the traveler and Paimon sharing a glance before following her up an incline. There in the distance they saw the back of a humanoid creature. Most of its body was coal black, a patterned cloth draped around its waist, a main of pale hair surrounded its head. The traveler didn’t know what it was, he’s never seen something like it before.
“Ah! A hilichurl!” Paimon said in surprise, clearly recognising the creature. Amber pulled her bow string taut. Letting the arrow fly, it barely grazes the hilichurl. She set out into a sprint after the creatures retreating form.
“Quick! Get it!” Amber yelled. The traveler followed her, materializing his sword, ready to fight as well. Rushing up the hill, the hilichurl was visible once more. Amber drew her bow again, piercing an arrow into its knee. The hilichurl let out a strangled cry, lifting the wooden club it was holding. As it came barreling towards them, swinging the club wildly, the traveler stepped in blocking the blow with his sword. Parrying the club, he struck once more, slashing the monster across its chest and it fell down to the ground.
“These monsters have been getting too close to the city recently. My task this time is to clear out their camp.” Amber stated as they rounded a boulder, revealing the aforementioned camp. In it resided three hilichurls. One was standing on top of a shabby watchtower while the other two were lounging around by a lit campfire. Amber drew another arrow, this one starting to burn at the tip before flying through the air, hitting the one atop the watchtower.
While Amber was focusing on the hilichurl with the crossbow. The traveler dashed into the other two by the campfire. Focusing, the traveler conjured up the wind ball, the air that was swirling around caught the flames from the campfire converting the sphere into a fireball. The ball burst knocking the hilichurls away, downing one of them. Steadying himself, the traveler realized that the cloths covering the hilichurls had also caught fire, slowly disintegrating their covering.
The traveler was taken aback by the sudden display. His eyes, drifting down between their legs seeing an average sized cock, but that's where the familiarity ended. The tip was a bulbous size, really resembling a mushroom, its color was as dark as the rest of them, and a pair of equally black balls was hanging low. Not only that, but the remaining one was half hard.
Stupefied by the display, the traveler's hesitation gave the monster the chance to rush him, pushing him down and knocking the air from his lungs. The hilichurl straddled the traveler's chest, making it hard to breath, while grabbing his arms, restricting his movements.
In the struggle that followed, the hilichurl was inching further and further up his chest, until the bulbous tip was right below the travelers lips. He was breathing heavily from exertion. Each breath was followed by the smell of the hilichurls junk. The stench was a mixture of ammonia, sweat, and mud. It was disgusting, yet also so... arousing.
With his mind slowly drowning in the smell, the traveler made one last attempt to kick the hilichurl in the back. As his knee collided with the monster on top of him, the hilichurl was jerked forwards, bumping the tip to the travelers slightly parted lips. It wasn't enough to enter, but it was enough to give the traveler the tiniest, teasing taste of it.
He seized up. The taste of it infiltrates his mind, occupying his thoughts.
The hilichurl made a sound, something between a groan and a laugh as its tip twitched against the traveler's bottom lip. The monster ground its hips against the traveler's face, letting out little grunts.
As if hypnotized by its taste, the traveler couldn't help but slowly widen his mouth. Not able to take his eyes off of the large tip, his thighs squeezing together as he felt his hole leak with arousal.
Before he could open his mouth fully. An arrow pierced the mask of the hilichurl, making the frottaging come to an end.
The traveler lays still for a moment longer, taking in his current predicament. Despite the abrupt stop, the hilichurl had cum. The traveler, now laying in the dirt with thick streaks of navy grey semen sprayed on his face all the way to his hairline, some even shot into the shallow part of his nostrils.
The traveler uses his hands to wipe it off. Staring at the mess now in his hands, he starts bringing them to his lips, but was interrupted by the sound of Amber's voice and opted to wipe it off on his pants instead.
“Heh, nothing to it. Though I got to say, you surprised me a little with your moves there… Thanks for the backup. How’d it feel?” Amber asked, not seeming to have noticed the state that the traveler was in.
“Those things are tougher than they look.” The traveler responded. In reality, the first one was really easy to take care of, but the other one… He couldn’t put his words on it, but his reaction was different from the usual. Normally seeing the body of monsters, humanoid or not, wouldn’t have affected him. He has seen it multiple times without a care, but this time, it was like his brain short-circuited.
“Now that you mention it, how is it the hilichurls ended up here? These creatures don’t seem like the type to set up camp so close to cities like this.” Paimon butted in, drawing the traveler out of his thoughts.
“Exactly. It’s more normal for them to be much further out in the wilderness. But because the dragon – Stormterror – has been around a lot more recently, our orchards have been destroyed and the local market has been affected as well. When the storms hit, we usually end up with at least a few injuries, so the Knights of Favonius have been tied up doing the best they can to defend the area.” Amber explained, a troubled look on her face and worry evident in her voice. The situation seems to be weighing heavily on her, and no doubt the other knight as well.
“So these annoying creatures have been getting close and closer to the city?”
“Exactly. That said, clearing this camp helped make the area a little bit safer.” Amber gave the traveler an appreciative smile, which he returned in kind. “Come with me! A responsible knight must make sure to see you to the city safely.”
Amber started walking, leading the way. The traveler cast one last glance at the lifeless hilichurl laying on the ground and gulped. He has to figure out why he hesitated, why he was complying with everything it was doing to him. He shook his head, trying to clear it before following the Outrider.
At the bottom of the hill Paimon stopped, sniffing the air. Pulling the attention of Amber and the traveler, looking at her in confusion.
“What’s that…? It smells so good.” Paimon said, turning in a different direction where smoke was coming from a bush, though the bush itself didn’t seem to be on fire.
“If you want to check it out I’ll just meet you in the city a bit later.” Amber said, clearly not overly concerned now that the city was only a bridge away. The traveler nodded at her, following in the direction Paimon flew in. Making their way to where the smell was coming from. They saw a woman standing by a campfire with a pot boiling over it.
Excitedly, Paimon flew over, drooling over the food.
The woman mumbled something, lost in thought before noticing the floating girl. She gave Paimon a friendly smile.
“Oh, are you travelers from around here as well?” She asked politely.
“No, we just happen to be passing by.” Paimon answered her, sniffing the air. “What are you cooking? Smells good!”
“I see. Welcome travelers! I’m Lynn, the survival expert of the Adventurers' Guild. As you can see, I’m experimenting with some new recipes. ‘Eat before you go’ – The first rule in the ‘Wilderness Survival Guide’.” Lynn said, introducing herself proudly. Paimon's eyes light up at the mention of eating.
“A picnic! Oh, Paimon just loves picnics!” She exclaimed, twirling in the air in excitement. She turned and looked at the traveler with expecting bright eyes. “My travel partner here is good at cooking as well.”
“I can only cook a few simple dishes…” The traveler retorted, a bit embarrassed of the praise and expectation coming from Paimon. He was good at cooking. Traveling to different worlds with one's sister sure does expand your cooking capabilities.
“That’s okay. Let’s see what you can do! You won’t get a lot of chances like this to learn from a survival expert!” Lynn, not too concerned with the travelers' denial, was eager for the possibility to be of help to a fellow traveler. She casted her eyes to a set of barrels standing to the side before motioning to them with her hand. “There are some mushrooms and meat in the barrel over there. Try making a Chicken-Mushroom Skewer for me.”
As the traveler stepped to the barrels to get the ingredients, Lynn proceed to remove the boiling pot from the fire, providing a kitchen knife, cutting borad, and some wooden skewers instead.The traveler got to work cutting the meat into cubes and skewering them together with the mushrooms, and roasting them over the campfire with some dried herbs.
As the skewers were roasting, the traveler let his mind wander, eyes focusing on a sizable stain of still wet cum. The navy grey taunting him, urging him.
"Aether!" Paimon shouted at him. The traveler was startled back to reality. The skewers were smoking, not burnt, but slightly overdone. He pulled them away from the fire, cheeks flushed in embarrassment from getting so lost in thought about something so lewd.
Aether handed one skewer to Lynn who happily accepted it and took a bite, her face lighting up at the taste of the soft mushrooms and the texture of the tender meat.
"Wow! Even though you got distracted it still tastes amazing!" Lynn praised happily eating away at the skewer.
"Paimon told you Aether is a great cook." Paimon said triumphantly, puffing her chest out proudly. She turns to face the traveler, eyes practically shining. "Can Paimon also have one? Pretty please!"
The traveler let out a chuckle at his companions begging. Handing the floating girl a skewer. Paimon happily started to wolf down the food.
Now holding the very last skewer, the traveler once again zeros in on the navy grey stain on his pants. His cunt still awfully wet from just having a Hilichurl rutting its cock on his face. The traveler brings one hand down to the stain, collecting the cum in his hand. He quickly looks up to see if Paimon or Lynn is looking at him, but both of them are still in bliss from eating the skewer and not paying attention to anything else around them.
The traveler brings his sticky hand up, smearing the Hilichurls seed onto a skewered mushroom. The visual reminded him of its fat tip pressing against his lips. Bringing the skewer closer to his face he can smell the overpowering scent of the cum, only being able to sense the meat and mushrooms if he really concentrated on it, but he didn't want to, he wanted the pungent cum to be the only thing filling his lungs at the moment. He clenches his thighs together, feeling more arousal leaking from his hole at the mere smell of it. Closing his eyes he finally brings it to his mouth, pulling the mushroom of the skewer with his teeth as the salty, bitter taste finally reaches his tongue.
At that moment, remembering the image of the hilichurl on top of him, the tight squeeze of his thighs, and the long awaited taste of the monster's semen filling his mouth. The traveler couldn't hold it any more. A full body shudder washed over him as he came. Breathing through his nose, the traveler kept the cum smeared mushroom in his mouth until his orgasm had subsided, beginning to chew it leisurely.
Swallowing the rubbery fungi and the last of the monster spent, he let out a satisfied groan as he opened his eyes again. As he did so, he made eye contact with Paimon. She had a cheeky smirk on her face, causing the traveler's face to heat up, fearing that she had witnessed his climax.
"Now! Let's go and meet up with Amber." Paimon said cheerfully, acting as though she hadn't noticed anything odd.
The traveler nodded, face still flushed a light pink, and tried to stand on his wobbly legs. Almost falling but Paimon swooped around him, holding onto his arm and starting to drag him towards the stone bridge leading to the city.
