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

Three weeks into the month, I got the surprise of two letters at once. One from the temple requesting my services as soon as possible, and the second from Romanian (Maybe I should call him by his middle name 'Lee'? Wasn't I supposed to call him your highness or something, technically?). Preparations for our arrival had been completed ahead of schedule and he hoped to be able to see us in three days time.


Gus walked in to me quickly cleaning up to head to the temple and made his grumpiest face yet.


"Is there any chance you could avoid passing out or getting a nosebleed this time?"


"It's not like I try to get like that." I undid my braid so I could use a polished hair stick Milly had lent me to pile my hair atop my head instead.


"Then actively try not to get like that. Please. I beg of you."


After hearing the strain in his tone, it was no surprise that he followed after me to the temple. Hal even expected it, giving me the same warning to not return unconscious or anemic.
