      Chapter 1

      One of Many

      I am Fairuza Blue the Audacious of the Twenty-sixth Harvest. As a Concubine of the Great Seen Unseen I serve as a Keeper, a Girl in Blue, in the Virgin Army. I am a mystical physicist in the 69th Research Battalion, 3rd Expeditionary Force.

      I am only two months old yet I feel as adult as anyone probably could. I remember my family and friends. I went to school and played sports. I read books and watched movies. There was a boy I liked but I seriously do not know why I ever liked such an irresponsible cad. I would have much preferred the boy I was disinterested in. I remember my best friend brushing my hair… yet this friend was dead long before I ever existed… and I never had hair. I remember gazing into the mirror and peering into the pupils of my brown eyes… though my irises were faded white before I took my first breath. I dislike some of the music I liked, preferring slower, soothing melodies to the peppy nonsense I remember.

      I am one of the Many of One, cloned from a living dead woman and endowed with her formative memories. My sisters and I share a life we never lived as we formed within the enriched and muddy soil of our homeworld. We learned more than what the life remembered, each of us according to our ordained purpose. We were named and awakened by the Unheard Whisper.

      We, the Many of One, are the chaste handmaidens of the Great Seen Unseen. We serve a spirit beyond all flesh and a mind beyond reckoning. We hear its Unheard Whisper and adore it for it is the silent voice of all righteousness and wisdom. The will of the Voice is our only will and the entirety of our purpose.

      We, the Concubines of the Great Seen Unseen, are the legacy of the Golgothite Empire, humanity’s greatest civilization. We are the inheritors of its worlds, culture, technology and industry. We are the Empire now. Our resources are the wealth and our army the might of a Galactic Power.

      I am one of countless many. As Fairuza Blue I am the sister and friend of Darya Red the Serious. My sister and friend is a Sentinel. Her duty is to provide security for essential personnel and assets. As a Girl in Red she
