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.

Prophecy

"Shopping?" I echoed, my voice laced with disbelief.

It had been an hour since our impromptu meeting in the inn's common room, but everything since then felt like a hazy dream. The constant hum of the sunpurge, the agonizing reminder of my injuries, made it difficult to focus on anything else.

"Of course!" Korra said, "It'll take the army at least a day or two to mobilize, so we might as well take advantage of the time to relax a bit. Besides, don't you want to see how well the city is doing? We might even find someone you can help or heal!"

"Maybe," I said hesitantly, rubbing my aching horn. "But should we really be doing something like this?"

She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on. Relax a little. Just because we're in a war doesn't mean we can't find small moments like this to enjoy ourselves. In fact, I think that makes it even more important. Right, Gayron?"
