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.

Arrival of the Guild Leader

The room stirred as Rasce's loud warning shook everyone from their sleep. The two adventuring parties struggled to their feet, groaning with morning aches and rubbing exhaustion from their bleary eyes. 

Sorrin yawned, standing and stretching, his hand falling to his sword. "Whose coming?"

"The Guild Leader," Rasce replied grimly. 

"Good. I've got a few questions to ask him," Sorrin muttered. "He's got a lot to account for."

"Wait," I called. I jumped to my feet, perhaps standing too quickly, as a rush of dizziness overtook me. Fable pressed against my side, stabilizing me, and I rubbed a horn, closing my eyes until the world stopped moving. 

"Starlight?" Tana asked with concern.

"It's nothing," I muttered, steadying myself with a breath. "Just be careful with Helron. His soul looked the same as theirs."

They followed my gesture to the Dawn Blades, who were busy running their hands over their healed bodies, eyes full of wonder.
