Gus wasn’t happy. “Are you stupid? Just telling that random woman that you’re a healer?” “I think she’d understand my situation, being a healer herself.” And if nothing else, I trusted priest Miurian to not let her in if he thought she’d go around turning me into the crown. “Where the hell do you get … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 44

Raising a Hero–chapter 43
A cordial atmosphere settled in on the room, pushing out the sour tension like a cool breeze blowing out a heavy smell. Gus and I were happy to listen while the nobleman and the older healer talked with occasional inserts from the knight. The cheese was hard and sharp, but I was hungry enough to … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 43
Raising a Hero–chapter 42
…Ah. So this is why people lost their minds around celebrities. Or why that one dude started a war over Helen of Troy. Or…well, lots of stuff. I mean, my goodness. “There’s always next time,” said Gus firmly. Oh yeah, people were talking. I could feel the faint squiggles of his magic poking around where … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 42
Raising a Hero–chapter 39
On the plus side, I learned about temple oaths. Learn something new about this world every day.

It was a … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 39
Raising a Hero–chapter 37

Because of that, I’d never actually seen what … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 37
Raising a Hero–Chapter 36
When I finally got to the temple, Nehcor’s voice in my mind didn’t sound upset. He explained that he had told me to keep it quiet for as long as possible so as to slow down the timeline of his plan. ‘Things will be picking up now,’ he said. ‘That’s all. Though, still, you probably … Continue reading Raising a Hero–Chapter 36
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
Raising a Hero–chapter 20
The priest smiled in relief and stepped aside for us as we got out of the pew. He gestured to one of the gold doors far off to the side and I followed him. With how shiny the door was, I figured I was suppose to assume there’d be equal treasures on the otherside, so … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 20
