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.

Raising a Hero

The west gates to the city were open wide, as they always were. Mist's hooves rang loudly on the stone streets.The lights in the inn were bright and warm when we arrived. I directed Miurian to the back door, which, thankfully, Mist was just small enough to pass through to. The chickens had turned in for the night, so I didn't get the pleasure of their reaction to this great new beast.


No sooner had he helped me down from the horse when the back door flew open and Milly rushed out.


"Lillian, you little wart! How dare you worry me like this!"


And the next thing I knew I was being suffocated by her breasts, engulfed by an embrace which squeezed the air from my lungs. I only just managed to squeak out a 'sorry.'


She hugged me for longer than I was comfortable with. Miurian watched on awkwardly by his gentle giant.


"Well...I'll just be heading back then," he said.


Milly seemed to wake up then and detached herself from me.


"Thank you, sir, for bringing her home safely."
