Chapter 91 - Recovery

In the personal dimensional space.

Inside the house.

Nathan lays on the bed unconscious.

On his side, Natalie, Issa, Natura and the other spirits look at him with worried faces.

"Is brother okay?" Asked Natalie,

Natura observes Nathan for a while before sighing in relief.

She turned to Natalie and nodded, "Yes, Master is okay now.

"We were lucky that Issa was able to immediately heal him of his injuries and stop the bleeding."

Hearing that, Natalie's body softened, finally able to sigh in relief.

"Sob… sob…"

There was a downpour of tears as Natalie was finally able to let go of her bottled up worries for Nathan.

She hurriedly tried to wipe it away but it was to no avail.

Issa felt the emotions inside Natalie and pushed its body towards her, snuggling.

Natalie cried more and more with Issa snuggling up to her.

Natura and the other Tree Spirits watched the scene with emotional eyes.

Soon, the group left Nathan's room to let him rest and not get disturb.

After the group left for a while, Nathan, who's unconscious on the bed, suddenly furrowed his brow.

….

"Sir Gideon, the enemy's army camp is just right in front of us!"

Nathan looks at the man wearing light golden armor, holding a sword on his hand and a huge trumpet on his back.

From his looks, he was immediately able to discern that the man was a soldier.

Confused, he didn't know what was happening until the words of the soldier synced into him.

'Gideon.. huh,' he sighed ruefully, 'So I am dreaming of the past again, huh…'

When he tried to move, he realized that he can't actually control his body so he stopped.

At this time, Nathan or Gideon turned at the soldier in front of him.

With a strong voice full of might and dignity, he said, "We will continue marching forward, proceed with the formation!"

"Ha!"

The soldier saluted Gideon and went back to the (group) to relay the command.

Gazing at his mere 300 troops then turning his eyes at the huge army on the enemy camp, Gideon felt no fear.

He faced his army, full of a solemn atmosphere.

Gideon roared, "God is with us. We will be victorious!"

""WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!""

Infected by his roar, the morale of the army soared through the sky.

Raising his sword, Gideon waved it and shouted, "Attack!"

""AHHH!!!""

….

A few hours later, Nathan snapped his eyes open.

"Haa.. haa.. haa..!"

He was covered in cold sweat from head to toe, panting hard as if he was chased by someone.

Seeing the unfamiliar ceiling, Nathan looked around and realized that he was inside his room on the house inside the space.

"How did I get here?"

Slowly getting up from the bed, Nathan looked around and saw no one.

As he was wondering about those things, the door to him was suddenly slammed open.

*Bang!*

"Brother, are you awake now!"

It was followed by the worried voice of Natalie, who rushed towards Nathan as soon as she entered.

Opening her arms, she went in and hugged Nathan.

"Ugh!"

He was surprised by this and a few muscles that haven't fully healed yet felt pain once again.

"Ah! Sorry, brother!"

Hurriedly letting go, with a guilty expression, Natalie took a few steps back to avoid hurting Nathan again.

Rubbing the painful part, Nathan forced himself and showed a gentle smile.

"Don't worry about it, Tal." He said," I was just surprised, that's all."

At the same time, with Issa and Natura on the lead, the others also started entering the room.

Seeing Nathan sitting up on the bed, they were all glad that he was okay.

Everyone rushed up, wanting to talk to Nathan, even the fluffball Issa is not exemption.

So Nathan just sat there, talking with everyone with a faint smile on his face.

They talk about trivial things for a while until Nathan shifts the topic.

Turning his head to Natalie, with a serious look on his face, he said, "Do you understand now why I don't want you to go to places that we don't know about?"

Sensing the seriousness in the air, everyone went silent as they watched the two.

Bowing her head, Natalie nodded, "... I'm sorry, brother."

Her voice was shaking as she felt guilty for what happened to Nathan.

The 'ifs' keeps on popping up on her head as she remembers his appearance when she saw him.

If only I listened to my brother, he wouldn't be hurt like that.

If only I just obediently stayed in my room, this would not have happened.

If only I….

"Tal!"

As she was about to be swallowed by her negative thoughts, Nathan's voice woke her up.

Looking up, she immediately saw the worried face Nathan was making as he looked at her.

"What aren't you saying? I was asking you if you wanted to go to the beach to relax since you might get some trauma from what happened."

As his words enters her ears, her eyes starts to become blurry as tears starts coming out.

"Sob… I-im sorry, Brother. Sob… I should have just listened to you. If I did, you wouldn't be hurt like this. Huhuhuhu~"

She stood there, crying, not caring about everyone's eyes looking at her.

With a pained look on his face, Nathan slowly got up from the bed and approached his sister.

"It's okay, Tal," embracing her, he said, "You just need to keep moving forward, brother will always just be behind you to support you."

After a slight paused, he added, "Just always remember, be careful no matter what you're doing, understand?"

Natalie nodded as tears keeps pouring out of her eyes.

….

After a while, everyone left the room again to let Nathan rest more as he still hasn't fully recovered even with Issa using its heal on him.

Just like that and a few days passed with them living inside the dimensional space.

Stepping out of the house, Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Smiling, he said,

"Phew~ I finally feel better!"
