	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

It took nearly an hour for us to approach the waypoint, finally getting close enough to make out the individual features of the guards. Several times throughout, the guards caused another commotion. Once, they sent a small group back into the canyon, and another it turned violent. The mass of refugees, of which there must have been hundreds, grew extremely nervous at that. The air filled with restless energy, and scuffles broke out in the waiting line.

As we approached the front, Orion cocked his head, listening to something only his ears could hear. After a moment he nodded, and said, looking at us, "The smuggler's about ready to break away. What do you think?"

Korra frowned and folded her arms. "Damn, that's quick. I'd rather rake my chances with the guards, to be honest, but I'm not sure if they'll let Xiviyah through. They're being ridiculously thorough, and all they'd have to do is get a look under her hood."
