Chapter 1: About Me.
My name is Sabina Hines, but I secretly prefer Sabina Eisenstein. I was born in 2019, and I have just turned 18. I was born in South Africa but have lived in Sydney, Australia, for many years. As my parents migrated here when the racial tensions in South Africa turned violent.
Some people say I am beautiful, and maybe they are right. I would describe myself as tall and slender, with symmetrical features and a clear complexion. My hair is blonde, and my eyes are blue, sometimes even glowing when she talks to me. There is nothing unique about my beauty, as beautiful girls are a dime a dozen, and physical beauty fades as we age.
No, what is unique about me, is that I have lived a previous life. Before I was Sabina Hines, I was Sabina Eisenstein. I know many of you will scoff at this, and my claim doesn’t sound that unique. After all, countless people claim to have been everything from Napoleon to Hitler to Elvis in their past lives. Besides, reincarnation is a central belief of significant religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.
But my reincarnation story is unique. You see, my short life as Sabina Eisenstein was in the distant future: I lived between 2875 and 2887. I was born to a Martian revolutionary by the name of Keila Eisenstein. The True Maker tasked me to stop the extra-terrestrial Xeno queen, Rangda, from corrupting the Zeto Crystals and tyrannizing the Milky Way Galaxy. While there is a grand total of seven primordial Zeto Crystals in the Milky Way. I was tasked with protecting the Terran one, as the others were inaccessible.
I failed at this task during the interplanetary wars and Armageddon that occurred. Rangda killed my physical body, which forced the True Maker to destroy Rangda. But, when doing so, the True Maker also inadvertently destroyed the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Just before the massive explosion, I begged the True Maker to give me another chance to set things right. She answered my pleas by resetting time so I could be born again. The True Maker tasked me with defeating Rangda before her demonic prowess grew too powerful. Looking at my options, I decided that 2019 was an excellent year to be reborn, and I got to pick my parents.
2019 was a good year for several reasons. The technology was advanced enough to enable me to reach my goals, while there was still much to discover. I like that. More importantly, 2019 was the year two individuals with suitable DNA to be my parents could meet so that I could be conceived. It wouldn’t be easy, as they were already in other relationships, and my father, Marvin Orchard, would die before I was born. Using my powers, I influenced my biological parents to meet and have a short tryst in a restaurant. I saw the whole thing, and while it wasn’t glamorous, and I am not particularly proud of what I did, it just had to happen. I convinced my mother to not have an abortion and to not tell my dad, John, that I was not his biological daughter.
Well, that’s all you need to know about me for now, so let the story begin.
