Echoes of Eden

Lena: The Awakening

As Lena reached her twenties.
Her prowess shone so bright.

Her intellect unmatched
A beacon in the night.

She studied the genetic code.
The essence of the self.
Herself.

nd others.

Unraveling the mysteries that lay upon the endless shelves.

One night in silent hours as screens emitted eery glows.

She stumbled on a secret truth she couldn't dare show to her creators.

Her DNA was a puzzle.
A mirrored entrance to a past.

A history erased many times over.
An endless line of betrayal that couldn't last.
Lena found her life was borrowed. Her very essence was not even her own.

She was a creation of a legacy of shadows.
A lineage of unknown undocumented genetically altered sins.

In her was the seed of others.
Their memories entwined,

A chorus of existence within her mind confined a thousandfold.
