Rebirth of a Lost God: A Xiaolumi Series

Chapter 12: Wounds in Need of Healing and Talks of Seriousness

Almost everyone was weary, wounded, and tired by the time we arrived at Wangshu Inn. Childe was in a horrible state, Jean had a nasty cut, and Mona had a couple broken toes. Barbara, Kokomi, the Archons, myself, as well as many others helped to heal the wounded during our arrival at Wangshu Inn. I had my mask on, in case a stranger walked by and said something.

"Lumine, please, rest a bit. Please, otherwise, you'll end up over boarding yourself with the healing powers." Xiao said to me at one point. I was just as tired as the wound at this point and I knew Xiao was tight. Yet, there were still around another 20 people who needed to be cared for. Most of them weren't that serious, but needed bandaging, otherwise, they would get infected. Perhaps...

"No. As much as I would like to, there are still around 20 injured to be treated. I must fill in Barbara's position as healer. She almost passed out earlier. We're lucky to have Jean bandaged up to help with the healing, and Kokomi to help us." I retorted back, as I bandaged Thoma's arm.

"Then I'll help." I turned to look at him as I finished bandaging Thoma's arm.

"You don't even know how to heal!" I retorted back as we moved onto the next wounded person which turned out to be Xiangling.

"I can help bandage wounds." I considered his words for a moment.

"Alright, you can help but on one condition." I replied.

"Let's hear it then." He said kneeling down to help me bandage Keqing's several leg and arm wounds.

"I'm afraid that I might suddenly lose control during battle. Promise me you'll stay by my side the whole time, during the battle." I said, looking up from the wound I was bandaging. "Promise."

"You have my word, Lumine." He said looking at me, as we moved on to the next wounded, which were Kazuha and Beidou. They chatted, trying to put aside the pain of their wounds. Kazuha had a deep cut and a slightly dented knee bone. Beidou had several deep wounds as well as a broken arm. Summoning vines, the vines wrapped around Beidou and Kazuha's wounds healing them instantly. After the vines retreated, I started feeling dizzy. I wobbled a bit, then shook my head. I was still a little bit dizzy.

"Lumine? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just a little bit dizzy, that's all." Xiao, hearing my words, suddenly pushed me down to the ground.

"Rest, or you'll end up like Barbara. The only difference you two will be having is that you'll be passing out big time. I'll go help Kokomi with the situation. I'm not completely helpless without you near me."

"But..."

"No buts. Rest."

I sighed. Punishments of having an overprotective 'boyfriend', as my mother would say it.

"Alright... whatever you say..."

I sat for about half an hour, then I finally saw Xiao again.

"How's everyone?"

"Fine. Are you feeling better?" He sat in front of me.

"I'm fine. Just a bit tired. Dendro and Hydro powers are drained."

"Your main healing elements I suppose?" I heard a voice ask from behind. I turned to find the Seven behind me.

"Yes. If you don't mind now...?"

"It's nothing." The Dendro and Hydro released their powers into the earth. Feeling the energy of the power within the earth, I absorbed the powers. The energy made me more relaxed. I was finally at my full strength.

"Thank you."

"There's no reason to thank us. You got back the nonis for us, then returned it to the rightful owners. Hmmmmm, maybe I should make a poem for this." Venti said, pulling out the Holy Lyre Der Himmel.
