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.

New Magic

"We go forward," I said, looking around the command tent. 

The ring of soldiers looked at me intently, many reflecting acceptance or trepidation. Most were familiar to me, but I knew many of the senior squad leaders by little more than face. 

With the addition of the different branches, the command structure of the Last Light Company had been consolidated. Commander Bethiv stood at the head, with Jackal and Joel serving as secondary leadership with the assumed rank of Captain. Korra and I were outside the command structure, though not a single soldier dared to disobey us.

"I see," Bethiv said, nodding. "In that case, we'll break camp tomorrow and head toward Brithlite City. Jackal, Joel, see that your men are ready to move by dawn."

"Yes sir," the two captains said with a salute.
