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.

Heroic Introductions

R'lissea was a soft-spoken, shy elf with the youngest appearance among the other heroes. Judging by her small hands and girlish face, I guessed her around 13, but her ability to distill conflict was astounding. The other heroes settled down the moment she spoke, accepting her interruption with grace.

"Um, what did you want me to talk about?" She asked Soltair, making an effort to speak loud enough for everyone to hear.

Soltair smiled warmly, the earlier edge in his voice gone. "Thank you. I thought we would summarize where we've been and how much we've improved the last five months."

R'lissea took a moment to compose herself. "I've been studying at the kingdom of elves, Sylvarus. I know it's not much, but I've mastered several sixth-circle spells."

The heroes reacted with surprise, and Alex leaned forward, mouth falling agape. "Sixth-circle? And here I thought you'd be at four, at most!"
