The world is in turmoil. The dead are being brought back to life, demons are rampaging, and the once blessed gods and goddesses have shunned their creations leaving the world to be destroyed. War is the only thing Skye Firebird has ever known. Raised as an orphan soldier, he has only ever fought. Born after the Great Apostasy, he has never believed in the mythical deities of his ancestors. All that changes when a chance encounter with the Goddess of Life and Death, Jacqueline, disrupts his life forever.

The Goddess's Hero

The water swirled lazily and then began to ripple. Dim mystical lights gathered to the top of the pool and agonizingly got brighter and brighter. I covered my eyes as the water splashed and a flash of bright white blinded the area. Gasps could be heard around me. I lowered my hand to find a creature assessing me. Glittering purple translucent wings caught my gaze first. They were fluttering slightly keeping the female humanoid's slim feet grazing the surface of the pool. The creature had no shoes to match the dark dress it wore. The head of the creature was angular and the mouth was small. The eyes caught my interest after I grasped the concept of wings. Light blue pupils glowed in an alley of black. They were large and bigger than her petite nose and small mouth. Her skin was a creamy beige. She reminded me of a rock that had been smoothed over by rushing water.
