The Forsaken Hero

I closed my eyes and sighed, letting the needle slip through my fingers and clatter to the alley floor. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. There was always someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Triumphant Return

The journey to Westfall Village took two weeks–a full week longer than when we made the trip ourselves. The recently freed villagers were slow and weak, many unable to handle a pace faster than a shuffle. Life in a cage was hard on the body and mind, more so when under the cruel thumb of the Circle of Chains.

By the time we led the twenty or so beastkin into the village, they were exhausted, some looking as though they'd collapse the moment we stopped in the village square. Fortunately, their spirits were restored as friends and family came running, a small crowd gathering to welcome them home.
