No One Has to Save You (Hero’s Sojourn)

A poignant short story that offers a captivating glimpse on the complexities of heroism.

When tragedy strikes, a hero is tasked with saving the day, oftentimes no matter the cost. Such an expectation is why Patricial doesn’t consider herself a hero.

As an elite member of the Fair Legion, she navigates the more personal nights, tending to those rescued yet left behind after a hero’s intervention. Tireless in her efforts to help the emotionally damaged and invisible victims, she has yet to be pushed past her breaking point.

But after a long series of consolations and a wrong turn on her journey home, she may find herself pushed into the role of a villain.
