Raising a Hero

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. Suggested for ages 14+. Raising a Hero is created by T.S. Lowe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 136

I woke up in the grass, bundled up like a burrito by horse smelling wool blankets, and looking up at a clear blue sky from between the fresh, bright green branches of spring.

For a long while I stared up into the blue and shifting emerald, wondering how the heck I had gotten there. There seemed to be a gaping hole in my memories. I remembered being in the army. I remembered the wagon. And then I remembered being urged out into the rain and pulled along by Matsu and feeling apprehensive, but I couldn't remember where we had gone, only that at the end there had been something like a cabin room with a fire where he tried to take my ring off and failed. Then the knives--ugh. That had done weird things to my stomach to recall. Gore, blood, yeah. But a little bit cool...

Miur.
