	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

An hour passed slowly, and then another, but I remained deep in meditation. Magic was the one thing I could truly lose myself in, the one single joy that had sustained me through countless dark nights. I spent almost the entire first half studying Astral Breath, working out countless ways it might connect with my soul.

After a dozen failed attempts, I finally gave up and opened my eyes. Fable glanced at me, disturbed by my lashing tail, and I let out a sharp breath.

"Sorry, it's just…never mind. I'll work on it later," I resolved. He blinked slowly then plopped his massive head in my lap, looking up at me expectantly.
