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

A few weeks passed. My skin healed to a patchwork of silver scars that varied between circles and lines. I was told they'd eventually turn silver with time by a, for once, sympathetic Dr. Mustache. Though I missed my perfect skin, I couldn't find much reason to get too hung up over it. I would have had stretch marks one day anyway, right?


More importantly, my wounds nearly made me miss planting season. Thankfully, I managed to get to my little patch of practice soil that Roman had kindly set aside for me before the season got too late for the veggies that needed more germination time in the soil, like the root vegetables and cool weather loving leaves such as spinach and lettuce. I was all pumped and ready to play farmer and had organized borrowing a plow and horse and manure and the whole nine yards. I even had a schedule in place for when I'd plow, when I'd fertilize, when I'd plan what, etc etc.


The only thing that changed was that Sir Fairenson came with me.
