Business went down with the temperature. I came to learn, with the cooling days, that the green spots on my dress weren’t actually because of my sweat having a weird chemical reaction to the dye, but because the dye itself was a rare, earth magic dye that changed according to temperatures over an extended period … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 31

Raising a Hero–Chapter 30
It was much cooler outside than it had been in the inn the night before, for which I was thankful. I could feel the heat exhaustion lingering on my limbs and didn’t think I could have made it to the market square if it hadn’t been. Said market square was hardly recognizable once I reached … Continue reading Raising a Hero–Chapter 30
Raising a Hero–chapter 28
Ah. Holidays. Apparently one of the biggest ones happened right smack dab in the middle of summer, which, to my great dismay, happened to last a whole month longer than the summer on my earth. Apparently, all the seasons lasted an extra month, which meant years here were four months longer. That screwed up my … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 28
Raising a Hero–chapter 27
Closing time came and I found myself with just enough energy to be up to magic practice for the first time in over a week. Derrick went to sleep on the floor in Milly and Hal’s room (it was a bit larger than the little thing Gus and I shared), and Gus and I settled … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 27
Raising a Hero–chapter 26
Turns out, Derrick was one of those few commoners who had a large magic capacity. Most who were lucky enough to have magic were like Hal, with just enough to do simple spells. The few who had even more magical capacity than Derrick were recruited by the various magical academies and often worked for the … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 26
Raising a Hero–chapter 25
It was a good thing that chase had happened so early in the morning, for the heatwave hadn’t finished with us. By the time Hal and Derrick had returned, not only had I started my period (which always made me ten times more tired than I usually would be), but I had the weight of … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 25
Raising a Hero–chapter 24
That evening, I went into my room to grab my nightgown and check on Derrick to find a huge, shirtless, bandaged stranger sitting where I had left him. It took me several blinks and the man’s awkward shifting for it to click. “Wow, so you do have a face underneath all that fur?” He gave … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 24
Raising a Hero–chapter 23
I was definitely woozy when I got back up, but I insisted that I could work, so I switched places with Hal to keep the façade going and Milly went back to the kitchens, but we needn’t have bothered. Most of the regulars had left, and those who’d seen a bleeding guy were on their … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 23
Raising a Hero–chapter 22
“Whoa there, blacksmith.” “Shit, you got yourself good this time.” Most settled with low cusses at the state of him. Derrick’s entire right arm had become a mess of blood and charred, black flesh that crawled up onto his shoulder, where what little of his burnt sleeve remained. His hair on the same side had … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 22
Raising a Hero–chapter 21
The height of summer came rolling in with a solid week of rain and thunderstorms, followed by a weak of blistering, humid heat. I had never done well in the heat to begin with, and that was with an air-conditioning equipped world. Needless to say, the damp curtains over the windows and wet towel around … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 21
