	I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace.
	Only...I don’t remember 'nothingness' having so many gods.  
	As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death.

I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to  find the light.

The Forsaken Hero

"Captain?" the officer asked, voice tinged with confusion. "What the hell are you talking about? You're supposed to be in the war council!"

The captain scowled and reached over to cuff the armored soldier like he were a child. "Watch your language! There's a lady here."

My breath caught in my throat and a shiver ran down my tail. No, it couldn't be. But as the scarred man turned to me and offered a clumsy bow, apologizing for the rudeness of his men, I couldn't doubt further. Memories burst out of the cobwebs of my mind, rushing to fill me with an indescribable sense of hope.

As the soldier's eyes moved between me and the bowing captain, my tail flicked back and forth tentatively. My lips parted in a shallow breath, and I asked, not daring to believe, "J-Jackal?"

Jackal's head jerked up in surprise, an expression of delight spreading across his face. "Aye, lady. It's me."
