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

Embers of Resolve

I averted my eyes, avoiding Rasce's stare. Tana coughed uncomfortably, leaning over to nudge him. 

"That's enough for one day," she murmured. "She's been through hell tonight, as have we all. Let's take it easy and ask the questions later. A little while longer won't hurt."

Rasce grunted, but reluctantly nodded. "Fine, you're right. And I'm sorry, Starlight. It's not my intention to scare you. I only want to understand what's going on, and what dangers we might meet because of you. Tonight was a good example of that, and we're fortunate we even survived. It's not something I want to see happen again."

I nodded, a bare dip of my head, but couldn't bring myself to return his gaze. Rasce had every right to inquire about my secrets, and I felt ashamed of my weakness and inability to earn their trust.
