Interpret or include that phrase however you want. Original fiction, nonfiction, fanfiction, poetry, or whatever you want to do is cool.
Re: Writing Prompt Thread
The god has been good to me.
I have left my home. I have killed. I have stolen. It's turned my stomach, but all of it has been in his service. I know what the rewards will be. I long for them.
I've had doubts. In those moments when I feel my horse breaking, when I feel myself breaking, I think back and wonder. My wife and child live with the knowledge of my betrayal, and I can't help but dread having to explain. It's been promised that we'll reconcile. I should trust in that, I know. But sometimes it's hard, and he punishes me during those times. He breathes, and my hands shake; he speaks, and my muscles spasm. The earth moves, the sky spins, and I vomit and claw at the ground.
But it's fair, all of it. There's justice in what he commands, and if I follow, then I'll find my life transformed.
I keep moving. I can sense the ones who would stop me, chasing, gaining. They're blind and think I've done them wrong, when my only aim is to free a god. Shame on them for binding him, and shame on them for wanting to keep him that way. Can't they sense his greatness? Can't they see how bright the world would be, if only they'd let him go? Deranged, mad. Fools. I'll probably have to kill them. I won't like it, but what choice will I have?
I can see my destination ahead. It's been overrun by shrubs and vines and trees, but it's still grand. The heart of him lies within. I'll reach it, and I'll crack it open, and I'll be the first to bend knee before him. He saw something in me. He healed me; he chose me. He didn't have to. Who am I, anyway? No one. But here I am, poised on the edge of greatness, simply because I answered when a god called.
I am the luckiest person in the world.

Re: Writing Prompt Thread
I'm kinda sad I'm the only one who responded to the prompt, though. I was looking forward to seeing other peoples' take on it (and I feel bad for the anon).
