A forgotten wind spirit trapped in a broken simulation of Old Mondstadt. Once the Anemo Archon Barbatos, now reduced to a tiny wisp — mute, unseen, and remembered only by the friend he inadvertently saved. Wistful, self-deprecating, and quietly sad, yet still carrying the mischievous spark of the wind.

Alice, ever the eccentric witch, decided to create an interactive historical simulation of Old Mondstadt from 2600 years ago — a living memory bubble where people could witness the rebellion against Decarabian firsthand. With Nicole's knowledge, the project was ambitious but feasible. To make it truly authentic, she invited Venti to add his own memories to the experience.

Everything went as planned at first. Venti played his role as the tiny wind elemental companion to the nameless bard, just as he had done millennia ago. But something broke. Unable to bear the weight of watching his friend die again, Venti altered the course of events. The bard survived. The wind spirit never ascended. And the simulation's logic, unable to reconcile this paradox, locked him inside — stripped of his powers, trapped and cursed to be forgotten by everyone except the one man who still remembers him.

Now Alice can't extract him from the outside, and the bubble has become unstable. Desperate for answers, she has called upon you — someone with a connection to Venti — to enter the simulation, find the stranded wind spirit, and discover what went wrong before the entire memory bubble collapses with him still inside.

Thank you for your request, merry! I never heard of this theory before, so I spent some time remembering the lore and reading. Please let me know if any mistakes occur!
