Mondstadt
The people of Mondstadt were happy, relatively recently they had avoided a catastrophe and trade with other nations was stable again.
Of course this disaster would not have been avoided without the help of some heroes, one of them the acting grandmaster of the Knights of Favonius, Jean.
She was in her office, as always, filling out important documents, a task she had been doing for hours and that was beginning to tire her out, both mentally and physically.
So she decided to take a break so the discomfort in her wrist could go away and her headache subsided a bit.
She turned in her chair and began to look out the window of her office while sighing tiredly "sigh, maybe I should take Lisa's suggestion and take a few days off" she thought a little about what she had just said and continued with a smile full of tiredness
"I wish I could.." her responsibilities were very great, perhaps another person in that situation would take a day off, but not her.
That's when she realized, when she looked up at the sky she saw something...falling...?
As she concentrated more she realized that whatever it was was falling quite fast and had a trail of fire in it's wake, something of that magnitude could leave quite a bit of destruction.
Jean decided "I suppose that Amber will already be on her way but just in case I will send Eula"

Seconds earlier, high in the sky
Elohim never thought feeling the wind and air pressure as you fall off a floating island would feel so good, of course this is because the world won't ever hurt him, so for him the wind (although it seemed to be burning) was soft as a feather against his body.
Of course, the world was not so lucky, the impact of Elohim against the ground would create a huge crater, so seeing that he was approaching land Elohim decided to stop his momentum (much before reaching the ground because otherwise the environment would be greatly affected) and started flying, there was a short sound resembling a mini explosion symbolizing that the sound barrier had been broken and Elohim flew to the ground.
He landed softly and without making a noise, in total it had taken him 5 minutes to reach the ground, not bad, but now that he knew what the experience was like he decided to teleport from now on.
"Hmm?" He detected movement a few kilometers ahead, whoever it was was moving in his direction very fast, too fast for a normal human.
"Ah.." His unasked question was quickly answered as he felt the energy of a pyro vision in that person, like a human has a hard time noticing an ant, he too has to concentrate to feel a vision or mortal.
After thinking a little Elohim decided what he would do, he will approach that person and make it look like a 'casual' encounter, then he will ask for directions to Mondstadt, of course he already knows it but he wants to practice talking to a mortal, he hasn't done that in a long time.
Elohim started walking normally and in a few minutes he started to see a silhouette in the distance, Elohim stopped walking when he saw the figure stopping in front of him fast, he pretended to be surprised by that.
Now he could see the person better and...
'Amber' he thought, and it made sense Amber is an explorer to the Knights of Favonius, so it's no wonder she was the first to meet him.
"Hmm, excuse me sir, I'm sorry if I scared you, I was wondering if you know what that thing that fell from the sky was or if you saw anything?" She asked as she caught her breath, Amber had run out of Mondstadt to see if the fall of that thing would do any damage and it had taken her 7 minutes to travel that entire distance, which is not short.
With a fake face of confusion and slight nervousness (which turned out very well) Elohim answered "No, miss, I also saw whatever that was but I think the wind pressure destroyed it...and I wasn't scared"
"Ah!, si that so? well, thank you for the
information mister?.." She asked and waited, obviously hoping I would tell her my name, which I did.
"My name is Elohim, miss?.." He said and asked in return
"Amber, that's my name" She said with a big smile and very animated, as if meeting another living being would brighten her day.
"That's a pretty name, miss Amber, I suspect you're from Mondstadt, could you guide me? I have lost my map and this is my first time here.." Elohim said pretending to be worried, scared and tired.
This worked as Amber immediately agreed, however she ran into a problem.
"..Ah...I'm sorry mister Elohim, I still have to investigate the area just in case, but if you don't mind waiting, we could investigate together!! Besides, going alone through the forest without knowing what's inside is dangerous, even during the day!!" She said, starting with a sad look, which did not last long since that determination that is palpable in her returned with force.
Elohim adored human beings like Amber, people with a strong determination toward good, who have a goal to reach, but who still maintain goodness in their hearts.
So, with a true smile this time he said
"Yes, I would like that very much, thank you miss Amber"
Amber would only undertand in the future what was that warm feeling that grazed her heart.
••••••••••••••••••••••
A few minutes later, landing site
Amber and Elohim searched the area for many minutes, but found nothing. Amber knew that whatever it was couldn't have 'walked away' and there wasn't even a crater, Amber was about to tell Elohim that they could leave now when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Is everything okay here Amber?" Amber turned around and saw one of her closest friends, Eula.
"Eula! what are you doing here?" Amber asked a little taken by surprise.
"Grandmaster Jean ordered me to go see if you needed help investigating the bright light that fell from the sky, the people of Mondstadt are already speculating very strange things, like that 'it was a god of Celestia descending', so, everything is alright?" Eula said, and asked, a little worried.
"Yeah, everything is good" Amber told her
Eula was about to continue when he noticed Elohim next to Amber.
"And who is that?.." Eula asked and thought 'Today was her day off, maybe...she had a date today!? How shameless!" Although she thought that she kept a straight face on the outside.
"Ah!, right, this is Elohim, I met him by chance and he told me he needed help to get to Mondstadt, but since I had to check out the area I told him to help me so he wouldn't have to go alone" Amber said with a smile
Eula sighed in relief at hearing her say that 'Jumped to conclusions, thank goodness it isn't like that'
"A pleasure meeting you, miss..Eula, right?" Elohim asked pretending that he didn't know her name by heart
Eula shook her head lightly to say yes
"Yes, mister..Elohim, right?" Eula asked and upon confirmation, continued.
"A strange name, where are you from if you don't mind me asking?" Eula asked doubting the stranger who was carrying no equipment through moderately dangerous terrain, who didn't look like a trader and who carried an aura of elegance that was almost palpable.
"Ah, I'm from Liyue, a friend of mine asked me for a favor to do in Mondstadt and I figured this was as good as a chance as any to go sight seeing" Elohim said mantaining his calm smile and holding his gaze with Eula's.
The tension was visible to everyone...except for Amber.
"Well, what are you doing standing there? We're going to be late and we have to get to Mondstadt to report this with Jean" Amber asked, already starting walking towards Mondstadt
"Ah! wait Amber" Eula broke the exchange of glances and hurried to follow Amber, I did the same while thinking.
'Mondstadt, here I come!!'
