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 stepped out of the stall, the last person I wanted to see stood there, waiting like the creep he was.


Sir young, blond, and noble brother. I'd already forgotten his name.


I frowned, even as I stepped aside for the soldier I'd healed.


"Thank you, miss," he said, with a deep bow. "Thank you. I...I don't even know your name."


"It's not important," I said lightly. "Just keep that a secret, okay?"


He then bowed to noble blond, giving his salutations as a soldier should to nobility, and, apparently, his commander. Blond brother nodded, told him to continue on with whatever he was doing, and set his attention to me before I could even think of sneaking off.


The soldier gave one more bow of gratitude and then marched off, his head high and a new light to his eyes.


"You can say such wonderful things, Miss Lillian," said whatshisface.


"Relax, I only heard the last bit. I lingered here for a few seconds, at most."
