As of now, everyone was in the Knight headquarters, and Amber brought a book.
Amber spoke. "Found the book, apparently he is the one who invented the Wind glider, which I knew already".
Aether raised an eyebrow as Amber handed over the book. "Invented the Wind Glider, huh? That's quite the claim. Who is he, exactly?"
Amber flipped through the pages, pointing at a passage. "It's a bit of a legend, but apparently his name was Leonard. He's someone from old Mondstadt history, thought to be a brilliant inventor, and one of his biggest achievements was the Wind Glider. He also had an interesting relationship with the city, or at least that's how the book puts it."
Mona leaned in, her interest piqued. "Wait, did you just say Leonard? The same name that came up during our investigation with the Fatui?"
Lisa looked over the book, nodding thoughtfully. "This seems to line up with the information we've gathered. A long-forgotten inventor, tied to the origins of Mondstadt... but there's something about this that feels off. If he was really so important, why hasn't anyone talked about him for so long?"
Keqing frowned. "Maybe there's more to this than just an inventor. The way the Fatui was investigating, it seems like they might have known something we don't."
Amber bit her lip. "The weird part is, according to the book, Leonard vanished under strange circumstances. No one knows exactly what happened to him, and it's possible that whatever he discovered or created was hidden away for a reason."
Aether folded his arms, staring at the book. "If Leonard created the Wind Glider, he must have known something about technology or energy manipulation. Maybe this ties into the meteorites or the strange events we're experiencing."
Mona nodded in agreement. "That's certainly plausible. If we can uncover more about Leonard's work, it might help us understand how the meteorites are affecting people—or even how to stop it."
Amber closed the book with a determined look on her face. "We'll need to track down more information. Maybe there are old records, archives, or places tied to Leonard that can shed more light on this mystery."
Jean stood up, rubbing her temples. "This is a lot to take in, but we can't let it slip through the cracks. We need to act fast and gather whatever intel we can. Whatever Leonard discovered, it's clear that the Fatui is after it for a reason."
Keqing looked toward Aether, as if considering the next step. "What do you suggest we do now? Should we split up and search for more clues, or investigate this lead together?"
Aether thought for a moment before responding. "We should stay focused on Leonard. If he was connected to the Wind Glider and might have knowledge of these meteorites, we need to find any leads on him. If we can understand his work, it might give us an edge over the Fatui—and help us stop whatever they're planning."
Paimon, bouncing from foot to foot, chimed in, "And hopefully stop any more crazy weather! Paimon still isn't sure what just happened, but it was way too close for comfort!"
Amber grinned. "Agreed. Let's head out and see what we can find. I'll take the lead on searching for anything related to Leonard and the Wind Glider."
Aether nodded, ready to set out again. "Let's go. The sooner we get to the bottom of this, the better."
With that, the group made their way out of the Knights' headquarters, more determined than ever to unravel the mystery surrounding Leonard, the Wind Glider, and the meteorites that had been wreaking havoc on Mondstadt.
Aether then took the book. "Let me just do something".
He took the book and cast a tracking mage craft, his eyes glowed as he looked at the group. "Follow me"
He left the room, as everyone did only for Keqing was leave, she then followed the group as they arrived and saw Dragon spin, they saw its fragments and then saw Scaramouche was next to it
Aether walked up to him as he spoke. "What are you doing?".
Scaramouche looked as he spoke. "Figured out something interesting, see it for your self everyone".
Everyone then saw it, Leonard's story, about how he travelled and cline everywhere, all the mountain, sale to the sea, and any place and then he could, he couldn't climb Dragon Spine, so his days were over, before that he made the wind glider so that one day someone would reach the top, as then everyone blinked
Aether spoke. "So this was his doing, after all, not our males but a mistaken dream"
Lisa then spoke, looking at the fragment. " how do we stop this, this Meteoroid".
Scaramouche spoke with a bit fo scoop. "Instead, it is simple: destroying the fragments, we all can go out marry way".
Aether crossed his arms, processing Scaramouche's words. "Destroying the fragments? That sounds easier said than done."
Scaramouche smirked, clearly enjoying the tension in the air. "Well, you're not wrong. It's not that simple. The meteorites are causing disruptions, and their fragments are embedded with the same energy. If you want to neutralize them, you'll need more than just brute force."
Keqing raised an eyebrow. "And what do you know about this? You're not exactly the most trustworthy ally."
Scaramouche shrugged casually. "Trust is a luxury, my dear Keqing. I'm simply offering you a chance to make things easier. Destroy the fragments, and we can all go our separate ways. No one has to suffer further."
Mona stepped forward, her usual seriousness clouded with suspicion. "And why would you be helping us with this? The Fatui has been playing its own game this whole time. What's in it for you?"
Scaramouche's eyes glinted with amusement, but he didn't immediately answer. He glanced at the meteorite fragments scattered around them, their faint glow casting an eerie light over the area. After a pause, he spoke again. "Because our Archon has her own plans for Mondstadt. The last thing she wants is these fragments getting out of control and causing more havoc. This… isn't about me. It's about stopping something far worse."
Aether didn't trust him, but the facts spoke for themselves. Scaramouche had already led them to something important—the connection between the meteorites and Leonard's legacy. "Alright. How do we destroy them?"
Scaramouche gave a small, sardonic smile. "That's where you come in, Traveler. I assume you've dealt with these sorts of problems before? You'll need to gather the energy from the fragments. Once you've done that, you can release it all at once, neutralizing the threat."
Mona narrowed her eyes. "Sounds like a risky move, but we don't have a choice. We need to stop these meteorites before they destroy everything."
Lisa raised her staff, her expression thoughtful. "I can help you gather the energy from the fragments, but we'll need to act quickly. If the energy is allowed to stabilize, it could become even more difficult to deal with."
Aether nodded, already planning his next steps. "Keqing, Amber, I'll need you to clear the path. We'll need to get to all the meteorite fragments before the energy can start accumulating."
Keqing didn't hesitate. "Understood. Let's move."
The group quickly got to work, and as they gathered near the largest fragment, Scaramouche stayed behind, his posture relaxed as he observed the proceedings. "Don't fail," he called after them. "Wouldn't want you to disappoint."
Paimon floated nervously beside Aether. "Paimon doesn't like this... Scaramouche isn't exactly the trustworthy type. But if it means stopping the meteorites, we have no choice."
Aether kept his focus, his grip tightening around his bow. "I don't like it either, Paimon, but we don't have time to argue. We have to destroy these fragments, and I'm not leaving without making sure it's done right."
As they began gathering the energy from the fragments, the sky began to darken again, a subtle reminder of how dangerous their task was. The winds picked up, and distant thunder rumbled across the mountains. The meteorite fragments were giving off an ominous glow, and the energy inside them was rapidly escalating.
Mona looked at the glowing shards and whispered, "This is more than just a simple meteorite fall. Whatever Leonard discovered, it's tied to something much bigger. And if we don't stop this now, everything might unravel."
Aether felt the weight of the moment. He could feel the power building, and he knew that this was only the beginning. They had to destroy the fragments before they could do any more damage.
As the group continued their efforts, they were unaware that the Fatui was watching from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Aether then took the book. "Let me just do something".
He took the book and cast a tracking mage craft, his eyes glowed as he looked at the group. "Follow me"

As the group continued their efforts, they were unaware that the Fatui was watching from the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
After that, the Nation was informed of Mondstadt's finding and they got to work, in Liyue, Keqing and a few of hee allies like blue hair girl with a bow took them down with her left, with a female pirate, in that of Inazuma, thunder struck down on all the destroying them, as then on the top of the highest building in Inazuma was a Cirten Purple hair woman, on Sumaru, Cyno was destroying with ease, as other people from the Academy helped, in Fontaine, as Giant 9 Headed Hydra destroyed the fragments that landed there, destroying each of them, as then in Natlan the Pyro Archon destroyed the ones there with the help of a Cirten Dendro vision user and a girl with a geo vision, in Shenzhen, a red hair boy, laughing crazy way, destroyed the ones there as they each destroyed the last.
As then, with Aether, he was looking at the big Fragments, Mondstadt people like Eula, Diluc, Sairaorg and Issei destroyed the ones in their section. Klee was blasting them, and Lumini picked up the winds and froze them.
As Aether was looking at the big Fragments destroying it would save everyone and end it all, he took a breath as he swung his sword
Ding!
[Host has crit in attack, the host has crit in cutting, the host has crit in destruction, 1 million times Crit effect has been the trigger, 1 million times Crit effect started]
As his sword glows golden, he cut it, as he arrived on the other side, and it was clean cut, with no explosion, just destruction, as it ended. "I am getting better at using it".
"I say you impressed me".
Aether looked to see the voice as it was Scaramouche. "What do you mean by that".
Scaramouche looked as he spoke. "Noting much". He said as he blasted the other pieces with Anemo energy and truly destroyed them. "Just wondering, will be going to the Nation of Lighting? And if you meet her, say to her that I am doing good".
Aether narrowed his eyes, studying Scaramouche's expression. There was something unusual about his tone—almost as if he was holding something back. "You mean the Raiden Shogun?" he asked.
Scaramouche smirked. "Who else? Just tell her that I'm still out here, making my own way. Whether she cares or not… well, that's not my concern."
Paimon floated beside Aether, frowning. "You're being awfully vague! What, are you going soft all of a sudden?"
Scaramouche scoffed. "Soft? Hardly. Let's just say that this whole incident has given me something to think about. But don't expect me to start acting friendly—I'm still a Harbinger."
Aether sighed, deciding not to push the matter further. "Fine. If I end up in Inazuma, I'll pass along your message."
Scaramouche gave a small nod, then turned away, his coat billowing slightly in the wind. "Try not to die before then, Traveler."
With that, he vanished into the distance, leaving Aether and the others standing amidst the ruins of the meteorite fragments. The crisis was over, but the implications of what had happened still lingered.
Keqing stepped forward, arms crossed. "That's one disaster taken care of. But something tells me this won't be the last time we deal with something like this."
Mona sighed, rubbing her temples. "Of course not. This is Teyvat—there's always another mystery waiting around the corner."
Lisa smiled knowingly. "And that just means more opportunities to uncover the truth. But for now, I think we all deserve a bit of rest."
Aether glanced at the sky, which was finally clear again. The strange storms had passed, and the balance of Teyvat seemed to have been restored—for now.
Paimon stretched, yawning. "Yeah! Paimon could use a good meal after all that chaos!"
Aether chuckled, sheathing his sword. "Alright, let's head back to Mondstadt. I think we've earned a break."
As they turned to leave, Aether couldn't shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of something much bigger. But for now, he allowed himself to relax, knowing that at least for today, they had won.
