Chapter 137: Finding Home
Jason spoke up.
"When you were telling me about what happened, you said you only came through the Dimensional Tear by accident, right? Does that mean you were going somewhere else?"
Riyala nodded in confirmation. She had been planning to go to another region in Radagan before opening a Dimensional Tear, but if she hadn’t opened that Dimensional Tear as soon as she did, then the Dragonriders would have gotten to her and taken her back.
"My father and mother... they died so that I could make it out of that world. I sacrificed my wyvern and my best friend just so I could survive. No matter what happened, I couldn’t stain their memories by allowing myself to be captured and taken back. I had to survive no matter what. So I’d like to thank you once again for what you did. If not for your kindness, then my life would have been truly forfeit."
Jason sighed understandingly. He still couldn’t fully empathize with Riyala because he had never gone through something that serious before, but at the very least, he could see that she meant every word that she just said. There was a deep pool of emotion in her heart and he felt it reaching out to him with every word she spoke.
"She looks sad. Is she okay?"
Gina spoke up from beside Jason when she saw the look in Riyala’s eyes and Jason shook his head and told Gina what Riyala had said. Gina looked far more affected by it than Jason did, and she reached out and took Riyala by the hand.
"You don’t need to worry. We’ll help you get to wherever you need to go. I wish you could understand me."
Gina sighed when Riyala only gave her a look of confusion and Jason couldn’t help but laugh when Gina turned to look at him with a small pout while asking him to translate her words. He translated it easily enough and Riyala finally gained understanding in her eyes as she nodded towards Gina in gratitude!
