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.

Daughter of Fate

As the divine presence of Fate left the priest, Korra stared at me, eyes wide. "When did you learn to talk like that? It was like you were an entirely different–."

She broke off, the wonder turning to worry, as I sagged, exhausted. It had almost been too much to hold it all in, and now that the false god was gone, I finally allowed the storm raging inside to show. All of the stress, fear, and pain came out at once, and had she not caught me, I would have fallen.

"They killed her," I sobbed, burying my face in her shoulder. "They killed her!"

"Shhhh," Korra murmured. She pulled me tight against her with a hand on my back and softly stroked my hair with the other. "It's alright now. He's gone."

"How could they do that? How can they replace her so easily? Why do they want to hurt me so much?"
