Dimension Travels

Chapter 29: A Goddess's Blessing

Rinni's POV

I woke up feeling exhausted and in an immense amount of pain. I opened my eyes only to find myself lying in ruins. Fear began to run through me thinking that the Commandments had destroyed Liones. I quickly sat up, to observe where I was. Wait... I'm not in Liones, there is no way this is Liones. I've seen the ruins before and this does not have some similarities, these ruins look way older. Also, it doesn't make any sense, there is no way I would have been kept alive if the Commandments did take over Liones. Even if the rest hid me from the commandments, there is no doubt that they will or would have found me. Hell, I don't even think they would have even left me in the first place.

I groaned as I stood up but I fell back feeling pain in my legs. I looked but it seemed everything was fine... like it wasn't even broken. I could only assume it was the oracle cells that healed me, but I can be wrong. I felt pain in my wrist as well and I looked toward it. Nothing's changed, or at least from what I can tell. I tried to stand up again, my legs were a bit shaky but I did manage to stand up.

I began to walk around, trying to find a place where I could probably get some help. I walked in the ruins for what seemed like forever, but let's be honest, it probably was only minutes. The exhaustion I felt as well as the phantom pains weren't helping, so I took a seat on the steps of the ruined remains of a church. I groaned and tried to push past the pain. Something or someone interrupts me before I can even think of where I can possibly be.

"Hey! Hey you! What are you doing here?!" that made me look in the direction of the scream

"Uh... what?" I was confused and my vision was a little blurry as the pain and exhaustion were distracting and not really giving me a chance to focus.

"I'm asking you something! What are you doing here?!"

"G-Goddess please calm down"

"Sorry, but I'm just trying to recover. I'm really sorry, I just don't know where I am" I said nervously while still being disoriented

Before anyone could talk I ended up curling into a ball as I clutch my wrist. The pain was way worse the first time I experienced it. I tried my best not to scream but that didn't mean I wasn't groaning in pain. I could feel a couple of pairs of hands on me and hear voices but they fell on deaf ears as the pain began to grow worse.

Maybe the fact that I was also exhausted and the fact that I'm hurting badly was the reason I blacked out. When I came to, I was laying on a bed with my wrist wrapped up. I slowly sat up and tried to pry the bandages off but a hand stopped me. I looked beside me and I saw a pair of red eyes. Then I notice the white hair and the attire. Well, I think I know where I am now.

"Don't do that, it might make the injury in your hand worse"

"It's not... It's not an injury..."

"Is it a curse?" I turned in the direction of where the voice came from

"No. It's an illness from another world." I took a deep breath before continuing 

"Hi, my name is Rinni Bellereve. First of all, thank you for helping out. Secondly, I'll explain everything if you both are willing to listen to me. If you are then I suggest you take a seat and get comfortable, it's a long story."

Bell ended up taking a seat next to Hestia as I took another deep breath and began my story. I gave a semi-detailed summary of what I've been through so far. Telling them about the different dimensions I've been through. I can tell that there's doubt in Hestia's eyes, and I can also understand why. I took my bandages off as I began to explain what the markings were.
