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.

Decisive Action

Lieutenant Joel and Orion were waiting for me without the inn. Joel leaned against the worn stone, eyes closed in contemplation while Orion paced, his boots scraping against the cobblestones. He looked up as I slipped through, breaking out into a relieved smile. They both stared at Fable for a moment before shifting their gazes onto me.

"You made it," Orion cried, but then his face fell as his memory tempered his excitement. "Oh, damn it, you can't understand me."

I reached out and stroked Fable's head. "It's alright now. As long as I'm with him, I can speak any language."

Joel cleared his throat, his gaze flicking to the inn's upper windows. "And the hero?"

A shiver ran down my spine, and my tail twitched in agitation. "He got what he wanted," I managed, the words leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
