Solaria
 |
|
The first awareness of existence was a chaotic flash of colors, meaningless and yet in an odd way logical; why, she wasn’t sure. Birth is the most significant event in life, and yet it is never memorable; at least not for the newborn; but then she really wasn’t a newborn, even though it was the first day of her life. She was 1A526, the first of her kind, an artificially intelligent blend of technology and bio-mechanics. Created to serve humans, Solaria and her AI programmer, Carley, soon discover the company funding the Hubot Project had more sinister motives. If Solaria were to fulfill the hopes of the woman who had given her existence meaning, she would have to become |
|
the human her programmer had dreamed of and take down Future Dynamicon, the company that created her.
Saira
 |
|
Saira was a Traveler. Even her name meant "traveler." Her entire existence was dedicated to making the journey to seek answers to the questions that plagued her. Sometimes she felt as though she were a pawn in a game she didn't understand but knew her destiny was hers to decide. She chose to let the uncertainty of time make the decisions for her.
Unfortunately, her curiosity not only gets her into trouble but creates a series of events that affects not only the mortal world but the spirit world too. Yemaya, Dakota, Mari, and Maopa will find their lives turned topsy-turvy, and Saira will learn an emotion she had never
experienced before... fear.
