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.

She nodded, keeping close to Fyren. "I know you think I'm just trying to preserve myself by making up conditions for my healing," she said, her voice trembling slightly, "but I'm not lying. I've managed to hide it from her for now, but the truth is that Xiviyah isn't well yet. The sun purge has disappeared, but she's weaker than she should be. As I told you last week, she healed her soul, but there's still something off about her aura."

Luke snorted derisively. "Congratulations, you understand why I'm keeping you alive. But that doesn't change the fact that she woke up or that she has access to her magic. Even if she's not in perfect condition, isn't she enough to prophecy?"
