Raising a Hero

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. Suggested for ages 14+. Raising a Hero is created by T.S. Lowe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 145

Time passed. Little Isabella grew into a leggy, spritely little girl who loved to wear cloth masks. Dulcet's mother had a healthy baby boy, thanks to me being nearby to heal her hemorrhage. The older children became full on teenagers and began to hanker for the day they'd be allowed to leave the village with Danny Merchant, to seek out their fortune and match. But Danny Merchant stopped taking others with him the summer I came. News and signs of the war heightening in violence to the south had reached the north, and he could barely risk gathering and selling wares let alone taking others with him. By the end of fall, I could tell, by the haggard weight to his face, that there would be no trips next year. He didn't speak of what he'd seen to the children, but I heard whispers of it among the adults when they'd all gone to bed. Villages and whole cities razed with fire, their inhabitants burned alive. Those not burned alive were slaughtered alongside the soldiers defending them.
