	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

"Damn it all," Jackal sighed, sounding more tired than upset. "Thank you for the report. At our current speed, when would you estimate our arrival?"

The scout answered immediately. "Assuming we camp for the night, we should see the city before noon tomorrow."

Jackal nodded, and waved his hand, dismissing the man. "Good. Find yourself one of the suppliers and get something to eat."

"Thank you, sir." The scout saluted and left.

I glanced at Korra, but she just shook her head, proving her own confusion. As the column of soldiers resumed marching, she stalked closer to Jackal and folded her arms, staring hard at Jackal. "What's this about arriving too late? I thought most of the army had already arrived a few weeks ago?"

The old, scarred soldier let out a long breath, turning to look at us, and a rising sense of dread clutched at my heart. I had a sinking suspicion I knew what this was about.
