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.

Demon War Council

Fyren faced down Jessia, his infernal body smoldering with anger. The intensity of the fire within him seeped through the cracks and gaps in his scales, casting an ominous, orange glow over the frost-tipped grass.

"If you had succeeded in collaring her," Fyren growled, his voice flat and filled with chilling certainty, "I would have hunted you down and burned anything left of your corpse."

"Don't worry, I have no intention of touching the Oracle again. If anything, she's become one of my favorites." Jessia shrugged, appearing unconcerned, yet there was a slight hesitation in her voice. It was the first time she'd shown such emotion, perhaps aware that the Lord of Ash wasn't bluffing.

She gave me a wink, and I shuddered, shifting my stance to better hide behind Fable. I knew it wouldn't make a difference, not when she'd so quickly appeared behind me last time, but having my companion between us eased some of the fear our previous interaction had left me with.
