Chapter 1
I give you Heaven's Grace
-----------------------------------
I was alone. So alone I was afraid. Afraid I wouldn't see the light again, or anything or anyone. I was weak. Not just physically, but mentally as well.
"Hello?" I called out into the darkness. Only darkness answered back with my voice. I played with the echo for a while, but thinking all this time about how to get out. I had remembered her words.
"Don't worry, my daughter, you will join your brothers and sisters soon."
I remember being confused.
"I don't have brothers or sisters," I replied. I heard a little chuckle. Soon I saw a blinding light. "And what do you mean 'daughter?' I don't even have a name yet!"
"Then I shall bestow one upon you."
Once again, I remember her saying "no name, no being" and I wanted a name more than anything. I hated being known as "her" and "that girl."
I saw the light grow bigger, and I could make out a glowing figure in the distance.
"Will it hurt?" I asked eagerly. I had to know everything.
As the light drew nearer, I could see walls and the pattern on the tile floor below me.
"Not a bit, my daughter," she replied.
"Quit it with this daughter business! Mom died already!" I screamed, fighting back tears. "I-I don't need another mother!"
I heard another soft laugh.
"Don't you know who I am?" she asked.
She approached me, and as she got closer, I felt a warmth.It wasn't a bad warmth, but a soothing sensation.
She got closer and I could see her completely. She had kind eyes and a welcoming smile.
"I'm the goddess Teva."
I was surprised. The goddess Teva? Why would I be so blessed as to meet a goddess, let alone the goddess that saved humans and elves?
I felt her hand on my cheek and her smile in my heart.
"About that body..."
She raised her arm and the room was lit. I stared in awe at the large cards in the middle of the room. They all had a drawing on them and a word. They were all the same, yet different. Teva brought me over to the cards. She pionted to the one that had a picture of a staff on it. It read Mage.
"Mages use the power of magic to overcome their foes. They don't have a lot of strength, but they are very powerful. Will you choose the path of a mage?"
I reached out and touched the card. I felt my strength adminish, but then it was replaced by a surge of almost electrical energy. I took my hand away and everything came back. She brought me ove to the next card that had a bow on it.
"Archers are very dexterous and have nearly perfect aim. Will you become an archer?"
I touched the card and all of a sudden, I felt sharper and more quick witted. I also felt shorter. I took my hand away and Teva showed me the next card. "Cleric" it said, and it had a mace.
"Clerics strive to heal and tend to every wounded soldier and be the best medic they can be. Is cleric the right choice for you?"
I touched it. It was a very pleasant experience. It was gentle and kind, if that could describe a card. I took my hand away again. Finally, she showed me the card with the sword on it, the Fighter card.
"Fighters are very strong. They can take on almost any enemy and live to tell the tale. Are you a true fighter?
I touched the last card. I felt a surge of power, flowing through me like electricity. It was overwhelming. I quickly took my hand away because the sudden burst of power burned me.
Teva looked disappointed.
"Which will it be? You must choose one."
I stood back and looked at each one. I hummed and squinted at each of them. I looked at the cleric card and walked to it. I touched it again. Once again, the gentle feeling embraced me. But this time, I embraced it.
"Goddess Teva," I spoke softly, "I would like to be a cleric."
She smiled and started petting my head.
"Very well, then. You shall be a cleric. I give you heaven's grace."

Well waddya think? Taking constructive critisism!
*By the way... After going back to the forums to read other people's fan fics, I noticed the Chronicles of Fox_McCloud and realized that the names are almost exactly alike, mind the names. >.< The explanation is, I just clicked on the "new thread" button, or whatever you call it, and started typing.
