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

Hunger soon became the only thing keeping me awake. It was the siesta-time drowsies, man. I remember high school and college being the worst around this time, without healing magic to drain out my energy. Though I remember it not being so bad when I was a teenager, probably because I was of the rare breed of morning bird teen. Ten o' clock at night came around, I was out.


Speaking of teenagers, Gus came swooping in with all the gusto and drama of the American airforce, the sheer mass of his dragon ride displacing enough air to make momentary gale force winds. The horses whinnied, the carriages around us creaked and leaned, and Roman held his black bangs back from whipping him in the eyes with a very unimpressed look.


Gus didn't even bother landing his dragon. He just swooped in low and jumped down, armored and all. 


I couldn't help but let out a small scream of fright.


"Knees! Knees! You stupid brat, have you no care for your knees!"
