Chapter Summaries

Ellin realized that happiness lay in the ordinary moments she shared with Sucrose and Fischl, and the three friends ended the day together in the Serenitea Pot. Ellin gave Sucrose and Fischl access permits so they could visit her there even when she traveled far away.

• Ellin reflected on the small joys she had shared with Sucrose and Fischl and understood that those moments were the happiness she had been seeking.
• Sucrose let Ellin touch her sensitive animal ears, and Ellin spent half an hour handling them before Fischl returned and found them both flustered.
• Ellin gave Sucrose and Fischl Sub-Space Creation Access Permits, explaining that they could use them to meet her in the Serenitea Pot wherever she traveled.
• The three girls chatted late into the night and fell asleep together in the villa.
• Oz offered his love to Miss Feng'er, but she refused, saying she was already triggering Superconduct on her own.

The day after obtaining her Anemo Vision, Ellin absorbed two new Artifacts and found that her slimes stayed the same size, though her hair grew to her waist. She trained alone at the Training Ground and left with a better grasp of her new powers and the knowledge that her elemental energy charged twice as fast.

• Ellin worried that the new Artifacts would make her slimes bigger, then used them and confirmed their size had not changed.
• Ellin admired her longer, waist-length white hair and decided to trim it if it grew any further.
• Ellin went to the Training Ground to test her strength and practice using Anemo energy while Noelle studied for the Knights of Favonius' written exam.
• After a day of training, Ellin found that she could charge elemental energy roughly twice as fast and could fire an arrow as powerful as the one that drove Dvalin back in forty-five seconds.

Ellin learned to compress Cryo power from her new Artifact, but struggled to control her Anemo Vision. She devised a plan to draw Venti to her and went to the Angel's Share to buy wine, where Diluc refused to sell it to her because she was underage.

• Ellin used her Cryo Damage Goblet's legacy to concentrate Cryo along her sword and destroy a training dummy.
• Ellin struggled to make useful attacks or an updraft with her Anemo power and decided to seek advice from Venti.
• Ellin planned to make Venti come to her and went to the Angel's Share.
• Ellin asked Diluc to pack ten bottles of Special Apple Cider, but Diluc refused because she was underage.

Ellin bought ten bottles of Special Apple Cider from Diluc by claiming they were for her father, then posted a commission seeking an Anemo instructor. Venti heard the reward was three bottles and hurried to meet her, where Ellin pretended not to recognize him.

• Diluc refused to sell Ellin alcohol because she was underage, then offered to sell it if she said it was for her father.

• Venti overheard hunters discussing Ellin's commission and its reward of three bottles of Special Apple Cider, then flew toward Mondstadt.
• Venti arrived at the Training Ground and called to Ellin, who pretended not to know him.

Ellin told Venti about her previous life and Genshin Impact, then asked whether he knew how she could become a man again. Venti had no solution but suggested she ask Morax in Liyue about changing forms.

• Ellin offered Venti Special Apple Cider and apple salad, and he revealed that he knew she had come from another world because he remembered the souls of Mondstadt's people.

• Venti said he knew no way to change Ellin's sex and suggested she ask Morax, who had more experience changing forms.

Ellin asked Venti to teach her how to use Anemo, and he showed her how to harness wind through pushing and rotation. Four days later, she had mastered several techniques and was returning to Mondstadt with Venti when she spotted a blond girl activating the Statue of the Seven at Starfell Lake.

• Ellin offered Venti Special Apple Cider in exchange for lessons, and he explained that Anemo required special techniques because wind alone had little destructive power.
• Venti demonstrated how to use Anemo’s pushing and rotation properties, and Ellin began practicing on the training dummies.
• Four days later, Ellin used a Storm Vortex to trap a group of Hilichurls and destroyed them with an Electro-charged spear.
• Ellin gave Venti her last bottle of cider and promised to ask her father for aged wine, then invited Venti to eat with her in Mondstadt.
• On their way back, Ellin spotted a blond girl touching the Statue of the Seven at Starfell Lake as a floating companion hovered beside her.

Ellin proved to Lumine and Paimon that she knew their past and promised she could make Aether meet Lumine, asking them to help her with something in Mondstadt first. After dinner, Amber took Lumine and Paimon away, while Ellin and Venti waited for Dvalin’s expected attack.

• Ellin revealed that Lumine and Aether were separated by an unknown god five hundred years ago and claimed to know where Aether was.
• Lumine begged Ellin for news of her brother, and Ellin promised to force him to meet her if Lumine cooperated later.
• Ellin treated Lumine, Paimon, Venti, and Amber to dinner in Mondstadt.
• Amber led Lumine and Paimon away to the city’s highest point to give Lumine a Wind Glider.
• Ellin told Venti that Dvalin should soon attack Mondstadt, as the story had predicted.

Dvalin’s storm struck Mondstadt as Lumine took to the sky and fought the dragon while Venti asked Ellin to help save the city. As the tornadoes continued to devastate Mondstadt, Diluc prepared to confront one with a fiery slash.

• Amber gave Lumine her Wind Glider, and Lumine followed her down to the Good Hunter.
• Dvalin appeared above Mondstadt and unleashed four massive tornadoes, sending Lumine flying into the sky.
• Venti asked Ellin to save Dvalin and Mondstadt, while he used the wind to keep Lumine aloft and guide her against the dragon.
• Lumine formed wind bullets and fought Dvalin in the air, drawing his attention away from the city.
• Diluc charged his greatsword with Pyro and sent a huge flaming bird toward an approaching tornado.

Diluc and Jean destroyed two tornadoes but exhausted themselves before they could stop the other two. Ellin arrived to face the remaining storms, leaving Jean and Diluc to withdraw as the people of Mondstadt watched.

• Diluc destroyed one tornado with a firebird attack, then collapsed to one knee on the Angel's Share roof.
• Jean cleaved a second tornado in half with Aquila Favonia, but the strike left her exhausted.
• Jean and Diluc prepared to face the remaining tornadoes together, but Ellin flew past them and offered to handle the storms.
• Jean and Diluc trusted Ellin and left the battlefield as she hovered before the two tornadoes and declared her entrance.
• Fischl and Sucrose excitedly watched Ellin, while Noelle shielded elderly people and children and looked dejected.

Ellin unleashed Heavenly Glimmer to destroy the two tornadoes, then recovered and flew to Lumine’s aid against Stormterror. The two girls joined forces to fight Dvalin in the sky.

• Ellin infused the Skyward Blade with Electro and used Heavenly Glimmer to collapse both tornadoes, with Venti’s help.

• Ellin and Lumine teamed up and clashed with Dvalin in the sky.

Ellin, Lumine, and Feng'er battled Stormterror above Mondstadt, using Venti’s Anemo and Ellin’s newly inspired Divine Age Archery to target his corrupted wounds. Stormterror eventually withdrew, leaving his fate unresolved as the group sought to avoid harming the city and weakening the Abyss Mage’s control over Dvalin.

• Venti supplied Ellin and Lumine with Anemo as they joined the aerial fight against Stormterror, and Ellin called Feng'er to help.
• Ellin used Divine Age Archery, propelling Cryo arrows with Anemo and unleashing a barrage at Stormterror’s blood-clotted tail wound.
• Feng'er attacked with Cryo and lightning while Lumine launched Anemo Bombs, and all three focused on Stormterror’s corrupted wounds.
• After half an hour, Stormterror drove them back with a wide barrage of Wind Blades and flew away.
• Ellin reasoned that the Abyss Mage had recalled Dvalin to protect its control over him, that Aether might be in Mondstadt, and that they had to prevent collateral damage to the city.

After helping drive Stormterror away, Ellin caught the exhausted Lumine as she fell and was hailed as Mondstadt’s new hero. Kaeya invited Ellin and Lumine to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, and they agreed to go.

• Stormterror fled after the battle, but Lumine’s damaged Wind Glider and the fading wind left her falling from the sky.
• Ellin swept Lumine into her arms and carried her safely to the ground, leaving Lumine flustered.
• Mondstadt’s citizens cheered Ellin for her role in fighting Stormterror, while Fischl celebrated and Sucrose watched from behind a wall.
• Jean and Diluc left Ellin to the crowd’s attention, while the exhausted bard slipped away after helping protect the city.
• Kaeya invited Ellin and Lumine to the Knights of Favonius headquarters, and they accepted with Paimon joining them.

Jean asked Ellin and Lumine to help the Knights of Favonius investigate the Storm Barrier and the damage Stormterror caused to Mondstadt’s Ley Lines. Lisa identified the abandoned temples of the Four Winds as the source of the storms, and Ellin set out with Kaeya to clear the Temple of Andrius.

• Jean thanked Ellin and Lumine for helping Mondstadt, then asked them to assist while the Knights were short of personnel.
• Lisa explained that Stormterror was disrupting Mondstadt’s Ley Lines and drawing power from the abandoned temples of the Four Winds.
• Jean assigned Amber and Lumine to the Temple of the Falcon of the West, and Kaeya, Lisa, and Ellin to the other temples.
• Ellin accompanied Kaeya to the Temple of Andrius, where they found traces of Stormterror, Hilichurls, and Slimes.
• Kaeya led the way into the Temple of Andrius with Ellin following close behind.

Ellin helped Kaeya clear Andrius's temple and destroyed Dvalin's Crystal, while Kaeya grew captivated by her unconventional fighting style. Afterward, Ellin left to help Lisa and thanked the hidden Diluc as she departed.

• Ellin questioned why Andrius's temple was filled with deadly obstacles if Mondstadt wanted people to worship there, and Kaeya agreed to seek funding to rebuild the temples after the crisis.
• Ellin charged into battles against the temple's Hilichurls and Slimes, defeating them with an unconventional mix of Cryo, Anemo, swordplay, and fists while Kaeya watched.
• Kaeya asked Ellin what she thought of Diluc, and she called him a good buddy; Kaeya then invited her to share a meal after the dragon crisis.
• Ellin reached Dvalin's Crystal and shattered it with an Anemo-propelled Frost Arrow, preventing Stormterror from drawing on the temple's power.
• Ellin left the remaining fighting to Kaeya and Diluc, waved toward Diluc to thank him, and flew away to help Lisa.

Ellin accompanied Lisa through the Temple of the Lion of the South Wind, fighting monsters and crossing a dangerous bridge. After Lisa teased and flirted with her, Ellin boldly scooped her into a princess carry.

• Ellin fought the monsters while Lisa playfully flattered and teased her.
• Ellin carried Lisa across a moving platform over a deep drop after Lisa claimed she was afraid of heights.
• Lisa leaned close and flirted with Ellin, so Ellin declared she would make Lisa feel safer and lifted her into a princess carry.

Ellin teased Lisa during their journey through the Temple of Andrius, then helped destroy Dvalin’s Crystal. After the crystals in all three guardian temples were destroyed, Stormterror lost access to their power and the storm over Mondstadt City subsided.

• Ellin carried Lisa and teased her by holding her close and gripping her stocking-clad leg, leaving Lisa flustered and unsteady.
• Ellin left Lisa to rest and went to fight the next group of enemies.
• Ellin defeated the enemies and destroyed Dvalin’s Crystal with a Frost Arrow to avoid a possible trap.
• Amber and Lumine destroyed the crystal in the Temple of the Falcon of the West, while Ellin had helped Kaeya and Lisa destroy the crystals in the other two temples.
• With all three temple crystals destroyed, Stormterror could no longer draw on their power, and the storm over Mondstadt City subsided.

After helping Jean repel a Snezhnayan envoy who demanded that Snezhnaya take control of Stormterror, Ellin joined the Knights of Favonius to discuss Mondstadt’s worsening crisis. She invited Jean, Lumine, and Paimon to the Angel’s Share to hear a plan she and a bard friend had devised.

• After teasing Lisa, Ellin headed home and found Jean negotiating with a masked Snezhnayan envoy beneath a windmill.
• Ellin defended Mondstadt’s right to handle Stormterror, and Jean used her words to counter the envoy’s demand to subjugate the dragon.
• The envoy left after warning that public opinion would turn against the Knights of Favonius.
• Jean explained to Ellin and the others that Snezhnaya was stirring public criticism and that Mondstadt needed to resolve the dragon crisis soon, though she still preferred a peaceful solution.
• Ellin invited Jean, Lumine, and Paimon to the Angel’s Share to discuss a plan she and a bard friend had prepared.

Venti explained that the Abyss Order had corrupted Dvalin and that Lumine could purify the dragon’s curse, leading the group to plan a rescue at Stormterror’s Lair. Ellin left to meet the others, while Fischl blessed the mission and Sucrose asked her to look for dragon materials.

• Venti told Lumine, Jean, Diluc, and the others that the Abyss Order had cursed Dvalin and that the Holy Lyre der Himmel could no longer reach him.
• Lumine purified Dvalin’s Dragon Tear, proving she could cleanse the poison and curse inside it.
• Venti proposed that they defeat Dvalin at Stormterror’s Lair and purify him before the curse consumed him; Lumine agreed, and Jean and Diluc offered personal support.

• Ellin woke beside Sucrose and Fischl in the Serenitea Pot and left to join the group; Fischl blessed her mission, and Sucrose asked her to look for dragon materials.

Ellin and her companions discovered that an Abyss Mage had gathered a huge force of Hilichurls to guard Stormterror’s Lair, threatening to exhaust them before they could reach Dvalin. Ellin went into the canyon alone and used her newly developed Anemo skills to defend herself, beginning a counterattack against the horde.

• Diluc told Jean and the others that hundreds of Hilichurls had gathered at Stormterror’s Lair, and Venti warned that Dvalin’s corruption ritual was nearing its final stage.
• Jean, Diluc, Venti, Ellin, and the others reached the canyon and saw that commanded Hilichurls blocked the entrance while shooters filled the cliffs above.

• As arrows and Hilichurls attacked, Ellin summoned the Four Winds' Tales and used Returning Wind to destroy the arrows and form her Flowing Wind Shield.
• Ellin recalled that she had developed her Anemo skills with Venti, then began using Gale Sweep against the charging Hilichurls.

Ellin demonstrated her growing strength by cutting through the Hilichurl army with Anemo and Electro attacks while Jean, Lumine, Paimon, Diluc, and Venti watched. After clearing a gap in the horde, she took a Tai Chi stance, prompting Venti to announce that her next move was coming.

• Paimon and Lumine watched Ellin fight, while Jean reflected on how much she had changed in just over a month.
