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

Sadly, for all of us, Miur had a very manly scream.


A blink later and May had leapt out, also in her underwear, wielding, of all things, a ladle. In her defense it looked like a seriously hefty ladle.


Poor Poseidon whined and pressed the fans of his ears as hard against his neck as they would go.


"D-dragon!" Miur stumbled back several steps, a hand flailing behind him for his wife. "G-g-get back in the cabin, it's not safe. May - May?!"


Then I remembered that May hadn't ever seen me without my mask.


So, I gave a little wave as I put a hand on Poseidon's back.


Her jaw dropped with her ladle. "Oh my god, is that really you? Your face..."


"And the dragon?" Miur almost - almost but not quite - squeaked.


I wanted to laugh. All those times I tried to ruffle Miur's feathers and he loses his marbles over a tame dragon, who was now doing his best to hide behind me, whining pitifully.
