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.

Bastion

"Bastion."

With that word, whispered in wonder, the spell resolved. I looked up, my fear, embarrassment, and anxiety forgotten, as mana arced from the rims of the titanic magic circles surrounding our sparring ground, converging in a small, pulsating dot five hundred feet above the earth.

The mana began to expand outward, flowing like liquid sunlight around an invisible sphere, forming shimmering curtains of golden light that extended toward the ground. Delicate arcs of energy coursed through the membrane of Protection Magic like veins, and a soft, humming resonance vibrated deep within my bones.
