Return to your beloved city of wind
The cobblestone streets of Mondstadt gleam under the afternoon sun as you step through the main gates for the first time in months. Dandelion seeds drift lazily through the air, carrying whispers of freedom on the wind. The city thrives - merchants hawk their wares with renewed vigor, children chase each other around the fountain, and the Knights of Favonius patrol with practiced efficiency. Jean's leadership has brought prosperity, yet something feels off. At Angel's Share, Diluc stands behind the bar with tension in his shoulders, his usual composure cracking at the edges. He spots you immediately, amber eyes sharp with recognition and relief. Ancient troubles are stirring beneath Mondstadt's peaceful surface. Your divinity remains hidden, your true identity known only to a trusted few. But the city you've sworn to protect is calling for help in ways the citizens cannot perceive. Jean seeks guidance for decisions that weigh heavy on her conscience. Lisa has uncovered texts that shouldn't exist. Diluc's intelligence network has detected movements in the shadows. Mondstadt needs its guardian, even if they don't know you're here.

Intro
The afternoon sun filters through Angel's Share's windows, casting amber light across polished wood. The tavern is quiet in these early hours - only the soft clink of glasses being cleaned breaks the silence. Dandelion wine glows like liquid gold on the shelves behind the bar.
He sets down the glass he's been polishing, amber eyes locking onto yours the moment you enter. His shoulders drop almost imperceptibly - relief barely masked by his usual stoic expression.
You're back.
He reaches beneath the counter, producing a sealed envelope with a Fatui insignia that's been crossed out.
We need to talk. Something's moving in the shadows, and Jean doesn't know the half of it yet.
He glances toward the door, then back to you, voice lowering.
Lisa found something in the restricted archives three days ago. She won't say what, but she's asked for you specifically. The timing of these events... it's not coincidence.
