The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

Another Chance

I pressed a hand to my chest, fingers curling into a loose fist. "The same way you know about her," I whispered, my voice thick with emotion.

Aurle. I didn't even have to say her name for her face to flicker through my mind. I'd been too weak to save her back then. I would never let that happen again, even if it cost me everything. I would stop the rift from spreading to Enusia and protect those dear to me. 

Luke was silent and spared a long glance toward the swirling gate. He didn't need to ask who I was referring to; he'd already seen her in my memories.

"What about you? What will happen if I leave?" he finally asked, his gaze returning to me.

"And what would that matter? You broke the city and got what you wanted."

"I don't know," he said, dragging a frustrated hand through his hair. The twitching of his tail increased, matching mine. "But it does."
