## Dialogue

Template:Quest Description
Template:Dialogue start

(During the first phase of the fight)
Template:A **Venti:** Look! There are **two shiny spots** on Dvalin's back!
Template:A **Venti:** They appear to be poisonous blood clots that have coagulated on his wounds...
Template:A **Venti:** The Abyss Order must have cursed the wounds. That's what's corrupting Dvalin's mind.
Template:A **Venti:** To save Dvalin, we're going to have to get rid of those **blood clots**.
Template:A **Venti:** Aim for those blood clots!
(After reaching roughly 60% HP)
Template:A **Venti:** Dvalin is getting away... but I am familiar with his tactics. Just hold on a bit longer.
Template:A **Venti:** I'll extract and condense the pure Anemo from the shots being fired.
Template:A **Venti:** Shattering them will create **acceleration currents**.
Template:A **Venti:** I can't control where they will appear, so keep your eyes peeled.
Template:A **Venti:** Shatter the **condensed Anemo orbs** to create **acceleration currents**.
Template:A **Venti:** I know it's hard to tell amidst the barrage of bullets, but this is the only way.
(After depleting Dvalin's HP)
Template:A **Venti:** Dvalin... I'm sorry this is hurting you... Hang on, just one more!

(During the second phase of the fight)

(Dvalin flies over to a circle of platforms, and Diluc, Jean, Venti, and the Traveler follow. Dvalin bursts up from the middle of the platforms to engage the party in battle.)
Template:A **Venti:** Now we can fight Dvalin on equal grounds. The grandest bard is here to help!
Template:A **Venti:** But first, let me be clear...
Template:A **Venti:** Even after hundreds of years without use, Dvalin's teeth and claws are still very dangerous.
(After Dvalin's shield bar is depleted and Dvalin becomes vulnerable)
Template:A **Venti:** Now is our chance! Aim for the tainted blood clot on his neck!
(If Dvalin uses Caelestinum Finale Termini)
Template:A **Venti:** A-ha, this is Dvalin's ace in the hole: Caelestinum Finale Termini!
Template:A **Paimon:** ...This dragon has strange taste when it comes to naming things.
Template:A **Venti:** I named it for him just now.
Template:A **Paimon:** Seriously!?
Template:A **Venti:** Well... Anyway, let's ride the **wind currents** and stay away from the breaking platforms.
Template:A **Venti:** The energy flooding out from the fissures will be hot. Be sure to watch your step.

(A cutscene plays)

(After defeating Stormterror, the platforms crumble and everyone loses their footing.)
**Paimon:** This place is gonna collapse!
(Dvalin rescues everyone from falling and flies away with everyone on his back)
**Venti:** It's been a while since we flew like this together, huh, Dvalin?
**Dvalin:** Just now... Why... Why did you not ask me to protect you like the last time?
**Venti:** Me not wanting you to listen to the Abyss Order doesn't mean that you have to listen to me.
Template:A **Venti:** Freedom, if demanded of you by an archon, is really no freedom at all.
**Dvalin:** Is this... the power of the Anemo Archon? But I am no longer part of the Four Winds.
Template:A **Venti:** Even if that's so, you still protected us regardless.
Template:A **Venti:** Now, spread your wings of freedom and go with my blessing.
(Dvalin brings everyone back to the City of Mondstadt. The scene cuts to Jean at her office desk.)
Template:A **Jean:** And so, the Stormterror threat was quelled.
Template:A **Jean:** I clarified the misunderstanding to the citizens of Mondstadt
Template:A **Jean:** and let them know that they are safe.
(The Traveler and Paimon, Diluc, and Venti are seen in various parts of the city)
Template:A **Jean:** To them it seems Stormterror attacked Mondstadt out of nowhere
Template:A **Jean:** and then vanished just as quickly.
Template:A **Jean:** They must be finding the whole ordeal very confusing.
Template:A **Venti:** However, winds change their course.
Template:A **Venti:** Someday, they will blow towards a brighter future.
(Cutscene ends)
**One day later...**
