The Rings of Elpída (The Emissary's Song)

By Dylan Huntington

On the eve of self-destruction, a desperate faction of humanity established a fledgling colony on a ringed planet they christened Elp?da. They were unprepared, however, to face the reality of its natural inhabitants - an incorporeal and hive-minded race of beings Who manifested Themselves as the very essence and fabric of human thought.Now Evelyn Feelds - no colonist by choice - fights for life and sanity in the midst of the planet's rogue elements and the overwhelming sway of the Multitude's song, grim and interwoven with the faces and names of people she scarcely remembers. A surreal flash of blinding light, inextricably bound with the certitude of the colony's destruction, is all that remains of her mind.The victim of an assuredly slow death, Evelyn knows her body won't survive. But, fragile as it is, her mind yet struggles for some measure of sentience until the end, clinging to the Voices of the Multitude - if only to assure her that she will not die alone, her thoughts unheard.But the Multitude have Themselves developed a vested interest in humanity's survival as a whole. They do not believe in the rumors, now lying dormant in Evelyn's mind, of Earth's supposed destruction.And so Evelyn, guided by Ulexi and Uvaro - two voices in the Chorus, two melodies of the Song - unexpectedly finds herself the focal point of a strange and savage struggle, waged a between rogues and races, heads and hearts, for the good of all humanity - if humanity, Earth-side, still exists at all.
