T.S. Lowe

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident.

But this isn't the end of her story.

Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else.

Suggested for ages 14+.

Raising a Hero

When I finally got to the temple, Nehcor's voice in my mind didn't sound upset. He explained that he had told me to keep it quiet for as long as possible so as to slow down the timeline of his plan. 


'Things will be picking up now,' he said. 'That's all. Though, still, you probably shouldn't be hanging 'I'm from your god' over his head, so you're right to keep that quiet, for the sake of your relationship, though he's going to figure it out eventually. It's just about timing. But wow, weren't you stupid not thinking of that when you were all 'just use my mind for practice!' Talk about not thinking. You really should have asked Milly or Hal, buuuuut I knew you wouldn't do that. So, again, all according to plan. You're doing great. Two thumbs up.'


I wanted to call bullshit on him. It was sloppy on his part and we both knew it, though I guess god doesn't lie, so...oh, whatever. Today's prayers were going to be short.
