Chapter 32: Awakening

Dune realized that Bethel wasn't wrong. Still, it didn't feel right not knowing the true reason behind all of this, but he didn't have a choice. He looked at Bethel. "So now what?"

Bethel stood up slowly. "I will tell you my true name. You will only pray using that name if you want to ask me something important or if there is an urgent situation and you need help.

Take this." A ring appeared in the air, glimmering with a white crystal that seemed to pulse with a soft, inner light.

"What is this?" Dune asked.

"That's a ring. This is how I will share some of my power with you. When you go back to your world, remember that only minutes have passed. You are still close to a forest next to your destroyed city, Fein.

In this dimension, where we currently are, time passes faster. Sixteen days have passed here, but only sixteen minutes in the human and gods' world.

So, Dune, when you go back, you still need to survive.
