Despite having seen several showcases of fire, wind, earth, and water magic at the summer festival, and occasionally from a street performer on my trips to market, I didn’t feel like I’d gotten the amount of magic that Nehcor bragged about so heartily. He’d made it sound like I’d be walking down Diagon Alley in … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 67

Raising a Hero–chapter 66
At the temple, Nehcor was more than happy to explain to me how to fix Gus’s problems, as well as to try and chat me up about how his wife was constantly tipping back and forth between shipping me with Roman and Derrick. Today was a Roman day, though, so Nehcor hinted that I should … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 66
Raising a Hero–chapter 65
My new bed made me look forward to sleeping at night for a whole new reason besides exhaustion, which over the next few weeks changed from a physical type to a more mental type as I was thrown back into my rusty studying skills. Most of the time was spent tagging along with the surprisingly … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 65
Raising a Hero–chapter 64
It was me who finally broke the silence. “I’m so sorry about Gus,” I said. “No, it is fine. I understand. Though there are two doors going in and out of the servants room. You can just lock the one that connects your rooms. I did mention that to him, didn’t I?” “Yes, you did.” … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 64
Raising a Hero–chapter 63
There was already a physician on the estate. Roman explained to me that he never went anywhere without one before I had been healed, as his disease often made him prone to various maladies. Not to mention that sometimes, in his attempts to keep moving (for to stop moving would only allow the overgrowing bones … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 63
Raising a Hero–chapter 62
I don’t know how long I sat there, herding excess calcium towards the kidneys, when I realized the calcium starting to clump in the high-pressure nodules of the kidney. They didn’t respond to my magic, rather they became dark dots where my magic couldn’t see into. Nevertheless, I couldn’t leave them there, so I threw … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 62
Raising a Hero–chapter 61
Three weeks into the month, I got the surprise of two letters at once. One from the temple requesting my services as soon as possible, and the second from Romanian (Maybe I should call him by his middle name ‘Lee’? Wasn’t I supposed to call him your highness or something, technically?). Preparations for our arrival … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 61
Raising a Hero–chapter 60
I received back a letter within a day. I guess mail systems work differently for nobility, or at least someone as high up as heir to the duke. He told me it would take a bit of time to set up everything, but that he would send a carriage to pick us up within a … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 60
Raising a Hero–chapter 59
I drifted in and out of dreams. In one, I tried to make it through high school without remembering the order of my classes, all while leading around a hapless, freshman Gus. In another, I dodged through a department store from my ex-husband, even though he didn’t care to look at me, and I hated … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 59
Raising a Hero–chapter 58
For the first time, my weekly (or biweekly, depending on how busy the inn was) visit to the temple was headed by Gus. He woke me up in the morning and almost seemed eager to go, which was…weird. Usually it was like pulling teeth to get him to go to the temple, and he’d inevitably … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 58
