Witches and Wishes

Mondstadt is located west of a big harbour, ships come by there daily to transport goods throughout all of Teyvat. Amber signed an agreement with the owner that allowed her to help transport some of the goods to the nearby cities. "Listen Amber, you know I'm a very reliable worker, but I draw the line at transporting goods, especially if I had to climb the hill, no thank you, I'm sorry to disoblige" Xiangling complained once more. "Oh, I must be mistaken, I thought you said that you knew how to climb hills back in Fontaine, what made you change your mind?" said Hu Tao cheekily. "Well, uh, the hills over there aren't as steep as the one here, so yeah" Xiangling persisted. Klee wanted to say something, but waited until Amber was done speaking. "Enough, you two" said Amber sternly. "Now speaking of Fontaine, I have brought two people here to be trialed, you've met them before, they are Mona and Lisa" announced Amber happily. Xiangling was abashed by this. "Those two of all people working with us" she remarked. "Well maybe they can transport the goods from the harbour instead of you, now does that seem nice?" Hu Tao said while winking at Klee. Xiangling was well content after hearing that, and went on to take a little rest. Next day, Hu Tao and Xiangling were talking when Mona arrived, she grumbled when she saw them, she thought them unfit to do anything important. "Blegh, what dirty Asians you two are, blegh, such dirtiness" she said. "Uh Mona", Hu Tao said while trying to keep her cool, "If we're dirty, then why are you dressed like a witch?" "Well I'll have you know that I helped build the only statue in Teyvat" she said while directly looking at Xiangling. "And I'm the best Hydro to exist since Furina's departure, and I'm fully educated in the entire study of Astrology, thank you very much!" she finished importantly. "Oh, well do you mind if you could transport these crates of tars for Xiangling?" Hu Tao asked. "Of course, I can do it with no fuss, unlike you two" "Dirty Asians, dirty Asians" she continued while setting off, Hu Tao just smiled at Xiangling, Xiangling just turned around and murmured, "Hydronic hag" Mona was carrying the goods with no issue up the hill, that's when she saw what looked to be a statue near a restaurant. "Wait, is that another statue, are they trying to compete against us, botheration!" she complained, but that's when it happened, she was so cross that she lost control of the crates and she tumbled all the way down the hills, being covered in tar from head to toe. Xiangling and Hu Tao came soon after to clear up the wreckage. "Oh my, is that Mona?" Hu Tao asked teasingly. "I suppose it is, but surely Mona would never be dirty, that would be "unfit for a Hydro" continued Xiangling. Mona said nothing, and remained silent for the rest of the day. Next day, Klee was talking to Lisa about all things Electro and Pyro. That's when Mona came in, still cross after what happened yesterday. "Is that you, Lisa, buzzing around with those Pyros?" complained the young Hydro. "She wasn't buzzing, you need to know that-" "You both sound like bees!" she interrupted. "Well, what would you do if bees were swarming around you?!" said Klee hastily. "I just use my attacks to send them off, no issue at all" she said before leaving for her job. "Ah Mona, her infamy is leading her in the wrong path, but she will learn sense one day, I just know it" Lisa humbly said. "And if she doesn't?" asked Klee. Lisa just chuckled, without giving any explanation, leaving Klee much confused. Mona had to deliver a box with a label that said, "Do Not Open" written in all capitals. Mona didn't take much notice, but it would've been better if she had. A local asked Mona how she became so famous, Mona, while being boastful, sat on the box. It wasn't stable, then eventually, bees starting to swarm around the area. Everyone ducked and hid under something, Mona tried using her attacks to get the bees away from her, but it was no use, as one got on Mona's nose and stung her. "Ahh!" she cried, then she went running back to Mondstadt. When she returned, she could hear nothing other than the others saying, "Would you look at that, we have a purple beehive living with us, isn't that exciting?" "Now Mona, guess we have to start calling you Rudolph now" joked Hu Tao. Mona just sat there silently in remorse. Lisa then whispered to Klee that night, "I know what your wish is, Klee, and I've discussed with Amber, and she said you can start tomorrow morning" "Really, oh thank you, Lisa!" Klee said while hugging her. "Besides, it would be nice to take a break from Mona's disturbances" she added. Klee couldn't agree more, and smiled as she dozed off to sleep.
