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

Crossfire

The hall fell silent as the voice cut through the air, loud enough to be heard yet not so somehow soft enough to sound sincere. I ducked, refusing to meet the eyes of the speaker. I didn't need to see his expression to know of the scorn and hatred in the second prince's eyes.

Alric stiffened, turning his shoulder to look at Prince Vorinth. Somehow, he kept his face calm and voice even. "Ah, brother. I heard you weren't going to attend tonight. What a pleasant surprise. Although his words sounded friendly, no one mistook them as such.

"Unlike many of you," Vorinth's eyes swept the hall, "I have urgent matters to attend to. The darkness descends upon our lands, and people look for strength and hope. As prince of Radia, it is my duty to grant that security and pave the way for prosperity. I have little time to attend such frivolous gatherings."
