Leaving Kokomi's large temple and home we quickly got back onto my Anemo Hypostasis so we could have some privacy to speak I met Lumine's eyes as we flew above Watatsumi island. "Lumine I can tell you got some weird idea, what is it." I asked.
Lumine bit her lips before she shook her head. "I am wondering if the Raiden Shogun knows anything of my brother and whether he has even come here altogether... We aren't the best swimmers after all so traveling across island chains weren't our biggest idea of fun." Lumine explained so I patted her on her shoulder as I squeezed her into a quick hug.
"Don't worry Lumine, we will find someone who knows about your brother!" Paimon said exuberantly to bring up Lumines spirits and it worked as a soft smile came back to the blond beauty.
"Alright let's go touch that Statue of the Seven over there and get our Electro powers." I said grinning at the thought of striking some asshole Fatui with a lightning bolt when they inevitably pulled some bullshit.
Our flight was rather short as we flew over to the large Statue of the Seven and this time atop the pillar was a statue of the Raiden Shogun with some kind of magical wheel attached to her back that had the electro emblem engraved all over it.
"Uh do you guys think if Paimon eats a piece off the statue she will get superpowers as well?" Paimon asked gleefully and I shuddered at the thought of the Raiden Shogun somehow feeling a piece of her statue within Paimon.
Thankfully Lumine was able to save the day as she grabbed the back of Paimon and dully spoke. "Don't eat the statue Paimon... The Raiden Shogun will eat you in return to establish dominance."
"Whut! But! Psshh! The Raiden Shogun doesn't scare Paimon! Paimon means remember those Fatui bozo's kicked Venti around really good, so why is the Raiden Shogun so strong.... Oh yeah Venti was by far the weakest Archon of them all." Paimon deadpanned and covering her face as she hovered away from the statue obviously giving up on eating it.
With Lumine busy keeping Paimon in control I lifted my arm laying my palm flat against the pillar that held up the statue of Ei and like before I could feel the element within pushing into my body filling it to make a sort of core, so that I could call upon the elements without a vision or anything.
Retracting my hand, I called upon the new Electro element within myself and with a loud crackling noise lightning arced between my fingers until I waved my hand aside sending a hail of sharp Geocrystals that sparked with Electro lightning between the crystal hail I sent into a nearby boulder.
"Jake why didn't you make a big Electro sword or something and go. Whoosh!" Paimon said as she mimed swinging around a great sword or something and just to prove that point, I took the Rainslasher great sword I got back in Liyue and I pushed Electro energy into it making it light up in a divine corona of light as the proper element filled it.
"You mean like this Paimon?" I said smugly as Paimon looked on in awe at the mostly green sword that had purple bolts of lightning arcing off it and burning the stone beneath me. "Lumine it's your turn." I said smiling at my newfound power.
'Don't let me find you in Liyue Childe or this time I will be the one to suck punch you the back.' I thought spitefully as I recalled the pain of his powerful Hydro arrow exploding against my back as it collided with me.
Lumine not being too much of a showoff just placed her hands on the statue and seeing some lightning arc between her hands after she retracted the from the statue she turned and just jumped back onto my Anemo Hypostasis and spoke softly. "Jake, Paimon lets get going to try to meet the Raiden Shogun if we can today."
I nodded and while I hopped onto the Anemo Hypostasis's platform Paimon flew up and within moments we were flying at great speeds northeast towards Narukami island to try to meet the god of these lands.
"Lumine remember before we met Jake, how loooonggg it would take us to travel places?" Paimon asked honestly sounding tired just thinking about it and Lumine huffed as she threw a look at Paimon.
"More like I recall you always screaming about slimes or Hillichurls that got in our way." Lumine teased.
Paimon of course pouted and pointed between me and Lumine. "Yeah well at least with Jake, you aren't hoarding all the words lost treasure chests... Lumine, Paimon remembers when you even ate a roast chicken dinner you got out of a couple centuries old chest! And you didn't even share with Paimon!" Paimon all but screeched as she flew over and begin slapping Lumines shoulder in her primal fury at being denied food and more particularly food that was a couple centuries old apparently.
But as we were traveling and sharing small talk my mind was more filled on the kind of side story stuff especially finding her brother. Or more specifically with how we got booted out of Mondstadt we never got to meet Dainsleif so we never started his weird quest lines that would lead us to bumping into her brother.
A few minutes later I just shook those thoughts aside as Narukami island came into view through the perpetual storm that surrounded the islands of Inazuma. "That massive temple/palace on that weird cliff should be the Raiden Shogun's palace let's just directly go there so we can figure out some kind of method to meet the Electro Archon." I said as we just directly flew over the bridge that separated the main city of Inazuma and landed in front of the very palace while guards from within and on the other side ran over to see what our intentions were...
Or more likely just arrest us as per usual honestly.
