RENPET SYNOPSIS

Serqet's leisurely stroll through the corridors of her inter-dimensional spacecraft comes to an end when the Elders of her advanced race of beings summon her. She has trained for this moment for all her life however nothing prepares her for the depth of responsibility expected of her, the survival of her bloodline.

Her kinsmen are the future descendants of the survivors of the "The Great Year". The Great Year is marked when planet earth passes through an energy field during the solar system's complete orbit around the central sun of the Pleiades constellation known as Alcione. Following this event, the Earth goes through continental shifts, dramatic weather patterns changes, intense exposure to ultraviolet rays and the transition of half of the world's population either into the next world or into a ''higher form''. The remaining beings on the planet gain a supernaturally heightened amount of pigmentation and the adolescents receive paranormal abilities. They struggle for balance in the wake of their new world along with the psychological trauma that inflicted the majority of them.

Through a sacred ritual, she is spiritually linked to a group of young beings and discovers they are her ancestors. The link leaves Serqet physically paralyzed as she watches her ancestors endure the harsh realities they create in their daily lives. Serqet is propelled into a world of psychotic super-powered young people, self-righteous political figures and fear-stricken individuals. She must find a way to intercede when her bloodline is faced with eradication.

Renpet Chapter 1

RENPET CHAPTER 1

'Awakening'

My mother’s garb caressed my figure well, much to my
surprise. The metallic black material hugged all the
feminine proportions of my body like a long lost lover.
Only ifI had one to speak of, my Ka, my spirit, yearns
for the touch of a Nefer Aha, Beautiful Warrior.
"Serqet, you look radiant! You are becoming more like
the woman our mother is with each passing moment,”
said Gebsennuf.
Even though our mother transitioned into the higher
plane some time ago, Gebsennuf never referred to her
as in the past tense. I guess he was right. After all, our
kind has existed for what other life forms may
consider an eternity.
My rambling thoughts were interrupted when
Gebsennuf took my hand and led me through the
corridor to Eb N Ma‘at, Heart of Balance, the counsel
of elders’ chamber. I spent a lot of time in the many
passageways
of our craft, just gazing into the vastness
through the portals.
I stared for moments on end at the nothingness
holding everything in place.Although I have seen this
cosmic beauty throughout the duration of this
lifetime, I am still captivated by what my eyes behold.
Now I will use those same eyes to hold something else
in captivation––my ancestors and without their
knowing. I am to take an active role in shaping their
future, my future, hmmm.
We are coming closer to the chamber, I can smell the
sweet scent of Netcher, Cosmic Force, permeating
from its walls.
Gebsunnef stopped in front of its doors, letting his
hand slip gently out of mine––farewell my brother. He
initiated the ritual necessary to raise our vibrations in
order to enter.
Upon entering the Eb N Ma’at, my eyes were struck
by the brilliance of its interior, I could not help
covering them with my hand. Through the shielding
of my fingers, my vision slowly adjusted to the light
and the seated figures became visible. A total of nine
members were present, all of whom were focused on
me intensely.
Although their eyes reflected peaceful intent, I could
feel pure Enkhet Sekhem, Mighty Energy, emanating
from them.
As they began their evaluation I remembered what my
mother taught me about centering myself and
remaining
unattached to things. During my early years
her teachings were drilled methodically into my
consciousness, nevertheless my eyes still raced around
the chamber frantically. My mouth grew increasingly
dry along with my rising anxiety. The next moments
were to severely test my mental fortitude.
My entire life experience was to be literally weighed
against a feather. As a child I thought the stories were
just fantasy used to direct children towards the right
actions. Now that I stood on a levitating disc opposite
another disc holding an actual feather on it, my mind
longed to wipe away the childish feelings of that
memory. All my deeds and thoughts ranging from
honorable to unprincipled were to be taken into
account.
I nervously looked towards Gebsennuf ’s direction
searching for some type of solace. He abruptly turned
his head in my direction and a stoic look grew on his
face––showing not even the slightest sign of support.
For a moment I shuddered about the deeds I was not
so proud of before realizing that I had nothing to fear.
I am Sat N Netcher, Daughter of the Cosmos, and
nothing can hide within Netcher nor escape from it.
Slowly my confidence returned to me as the scale
holding the feather teetered a little, before coming into
balance with my experiences.

Dear Sci-Fi and Anime Fans,

The inspiration for my Sci-Fi Novel came from a dream of being one of the characters, Mike, and from reading one of the best Sci-Fi novelist.....
Octavia Butler.
Octavia Estelle Butler (June 22, 1947 – February 24, 2006) an American science fiction writer, one of the best-known among the few African-American women in the field. She won both Hugo and Nebula awards. In 1995, she became the first science fiction writer to receive the MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant.
Butler was born and raised in Pasadena, California. Since her father Laurice, a shoeshiner, died when she was a baby, Butler was raised by her grandmother and her mother (Octavia M. Butler) who worked as a maid in order to support the family. Butler grew up in a struggling, racially mixed neighborhood. According to the Norton Anthology of African American Literature, Butler was "an introspective, only child in a strict Baptist household" and "was drawn early to magazines such as Amazing, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Galaxy and soon began reading all the science fiction classics."
She described herself as "comfortably asocial—a hermit in the middle of Seattle—a pessimist if I'm not careful, a feminist, a Black, a former Baptist, an oil-and-water combination of ambition, laziness, insecurity, certainty, and drive." Themes of both racial and sexual ambiguity are apparent throughout her work.
This woman's series of Sci-Fi novels push the envelope of creativity in this 'category'. In the event that you have never read her books, I urge you to read them!!!!

This book in particular did it for me:



These are some hot titles:



Shows like 'V', '4400' and 'Heroes' have got nothing on Octavia's creativity!!!!

Check them out....
