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

Gus brought in the water and set it on the stove, where I had just relit my fire, then left to report. When I heard his voice outside sooner than I expected, I couldn't help but get up and wobble to the door in excitement, eager to see him all the sooner.


But before my hand reached the handle, another familiar male voice, a bit higher, came in. Remembering that Roman had the lowest, rumbling voice, I paused. I wasn't wearing my mask. I could always dig one out of the dresser.


For some reason, though, I cracked the door open and listened instead.


" - she says you're her kid, but all her children died."


"...Just stay out of her house and we won't have any problems."


Gus gave a scathing laugh that sounded too much like him. "What kind of problems could you do for me? Go home. Stop being a noisy asshole before I actually get pissed."
