The first month of my stay also resulted in the beginning of relationships between me and the gray clad maids of the house. At first, my ultra nice room didn’t come with servants. It had been all Roman could do to push the room on me, let alone people who would wait in me, one … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 68

Raising a Hero–chapter 67
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 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 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 57
I saw from Gus’s point of view as he worked the Inn with Hal that night. I felt the hot, gut twisting unease that kept him wiping his clammy hands on his pants. Saw glimpses of the amused gazes of the regulars with sharp enough ears and quick enough minds to catch what was going … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 57
Raising a Hero–chapter 52
“Why do you say us?” said Gus petulant glare to the letter. “It’s obviously just you he’s talking about. He doesn’t mention me once.” “And if you’d stayed quiet and acted like the wart you pretend to be whenever I leave the house, none of us would have been the wiser.” He opened his mouth … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 52
Raising a Hero–chapter 51
Gus and I did our best to go back to normal, and it worked for the most part. There was still a pane of awkwardness between us, like a window we wouldn’t touch for fear our fingers would smear it or we’d break it. But the feelings were still the same. My mission in this … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 51
Raising a Hero–chapter 35
…Sloppy. Sloppy sloppy, god. But, he still had given me a ‘commandment’ so that meant I had to listen through to it to the end. “You know how weird that sounds?” I said. Gus averted his eyes, rubbing a hand on his upper arm. “You know I can tell when you lie, right? Even if … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 35
