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 41
The first thing I did was set up the priest’s bed so that my patient would be comfortable. Miurian’s living quarters were a simple one bedroom with a closet holding a magically plumbed toilet and sink (queue instant jealousy on my part). The toilet was as extravagant as it got, though, as everything else was … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 41
Raising a Hero–Chapter 40
The moment my magic pushed past the barrier of his skin I instantly understood what he meant by bone. Jagged webs, branches, and sticks of wayward bone growths lined the surface of his bones, stabbing and crowding into the surrounding tissues, even taking up the place of some in the less mobile sections of his … Continue reading Raising a Hero–Chapter 40
Raising a Hero–chapter 39
On the plus side, I learned about temple oaths. Learn something new about this world every day. And I even got to see these various bits of metal when Priest Miurian met us at the temple door and walked us up the stairs to the second floor and through a golden door. It was a … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 39
Raising a Hero–chapter 37
I had known dark magic was essentially treated like devil’s magic. From what Gus had told me and what little I heard (no one talked about dark magic if they didn’t have to), many liked to pretend it didn’t exist, even while not denying that it did. 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 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
Raising a Hero–chapter 34
Blessed Fall. Glorious Fall. I could go on and on in praises. So many great things came, I couldn’t stop counting them. First, no more passing out from heat for me! Second, food! Oh gawl, the food was great. The harvest festival was all about food, and then it just kept going. Fresh off the … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 34
