My name is Sabina Hines, and I am an 18-year-old woman living in Sydney in the year 2037. This is my second life, and I am back with a mission: to stop Rangda and save the future. In my first life, in the 29th century, I was Sabina Eisenstein, The Chosen One, destined to prevent the vile Xeno Empress Rangda Kaliankan, from enslaving and destroying the galaxy. I failed, and as I died, the True Maker allowed me to be reborn in the past to give me a second chance to set things right.
Being a reincarnation of The Chosen One, I have special abilities. Primarily, I am empath capable of reading and influencing the minds of others. I also have heightened intelligence and senses due to my half-Zetan genome. Finally, I am gifted knowing my date of death: I will die on the 25th of November 2131, 84 years from now.
A couple of months ago, I narrowly escaped being raped by the spoiled brat Joshua Harkins. I protected myself through using my empath powers to turn Joshua's evil and hatred into self-harm. While I escaped the ordeal unharmed, I was saddened over the physical and mental damage Joshua took.
The ordeal made me realise that I had to pursue my purpose in life. To find the primordial Zeto Crystal and try to purify it to limit humankind's will to do evil. I didn't know where to start looking, but my intuition told me that Jerusalem, The Holy City, was the place to start.
To prepare for the trip, I raised money doing online training and then I convinced my "dad" John to sign my visa application to Israel.
After that, I finished high school and travelled to Israel. Once I arrived in Israel, I realised that something was amiss. Tensions were high, and the border official was very suspicious of me. Eventually, I could enter the country, and I went to my hotel to sleep and refresh.
The day after, I went to prayers at the Western Wall, where I picked up the distressed state of a Palestinian man. I tried to save him, but it was too late, and shortly afterwards, the suicide bombers bomb belt detonated killing and maiming people all around me. Through my connection with the True Maker, I was saved as the bombs facing me, didn't explode. Covered in other people's blood, I made my way back to the hotel, to shower and calm down.
I didn't find any peace though, as the police stormed in and Mossad agents arrested me. I thought I had convinced the Mossad agent Dov Dorovitch of my innocence, using my powers, but instead, I exposed myself as an empath, and he kidnapped me at gunpoint, bringing me to a desolate location.
I thought I was safe when Dov's college Jakub Kluger shot and killed Dov. Instead, Jakob exposed that Dov had tried to uncover the conspiracy within the Mossad that financed terrorism and that I would be framed for Dov's murder. I told Jakub to put his gun down, but he laughed it off and shot at me, a shot I managed to avoid due to my premonitory senses. Jakub readied himself to shoot again, but I was saved as Jakub's pistol acted as lighting rod, causing him to be hit by lighting. I stole Dov's car and drove away from the scene, leaving Jakub to die.
Having lost my possessions, I used Dov's phone to connect to the Dark Net and ordered a fake passport, a safe house, and other supplies. I entered a self-driving cab and arrived at a safe house.
The following day, a hacker girl my age delivered my shipment without saying a word. Having secured my fake ID and devices, I resumed my search for the Zeto Crystal. I was intercepted by a police officer, but fortunately, my phony ID with the name of my future mother Keila Eisenstein worked, and the police officer let me go. I was unsettled and hid in a nearby coffee shop.
While I was drinking my tea, three men strange-looking men in robes arrived. The men turned out to be Templars, and the leader Martin Al-Sham showed me a mysterious glowing tattoo believing that I was Keila. There was a raid on the coffee shop, I hid in the ventilation shaft, and I saw Martin and the Templars getting shot by the mysterious Mossad agent Ben Yehuda.
I escaped back to the safe house and stayed hidden for the rest of the day. The following day I returned to the crime scene just to find that the building had been demolished overnight. I spoke to the reluctant neighbour, and she revealed that the Templars had left with Ben Yehuda and that the murders were staged. The neighbour also gave me an ID card that Ben Yehuda had dropped on the street. This confused me, but I remembered something. That Martin and Ben Yehuda spoke about the Templar tunnels before Ben shot Martin. I returned to the safehouse and contacted the mysterious hacker girl as I needed help to investigate.
The hacker girl arrived and revealed that her name was Simona Fischbein. She tried to seduce me, but it just made me uncomfortable as I am heterosexual. Simona seduction attempt made me realise my suppressed attraction to my classmate Alexander Storm, and I realised that I should pursue his affection if I got out of this alive.
I showed Simona, Ben Yehuda's ID card and she recognised him as the man who murdered her friend. She vowed to help me with my quest to foil the conspiracy that Ben Yehuda was part of. I felt bitter-sweet accepting Simona's help as I sensed that she wouldn't get out of this ordeal alive. I didn't say anything, as I needed her help.
We arrived at the Solomon Temple and realised that there was only one guard, guarding the entrance. I couldn't convince him to let us in, so I knocked him unconscious with a psionic blast.
Once we were in the tunnels, I realised that Ben Yehuda, Martin Sham and the other Templars were in the tunnels. We snuck past them and came to a room full of strange symbols. I put my mind to it and tried to decipher the code, but I failed and started bleeding from overexerting my brain.
Once, I stopped thinking, I saw my future mother Keila decipher the alien code in a vision. Following the premonition, I managed to reveal a secret passageway, and we entered a chamber with primordial Zeto Crystal on a pedestal in the middle of the room. I walked towards the crystal, but before I reached it, I heard Ben Yehuda's voice and turned around. Ben Yehuda and the Templars held Simona at gunpoint.
Confident of his victory, Ben Yehuda revealed his plan, to use the power of the Zeto Crystal to ethnically cleanse the Holy Land. I realised that I had to stop him, so I leapt towards the pedestal, and grabbed the crystal mid-air landing behind the pedestal. Seeing this, Ben Yehuda murdered Simona and ran up to me to shoot me. I clutched the Zeto Crystal to my chest, and the powers of the Zeto crystal saved me from certain death, leaving me with only superficial injuries.
As a saving grace, Martin Al-Sham switched sides and shot Ben Yehuda and the other Templars to save me. He revealed that he had never liked the Templars' plan, but he had joined them as the Zetans had told him to find Keila Eisenstein and Templars were his best option. He took me to a safehouse, where he stitched up my wounds.
Martin revealed that Ben Yehuda had deleted my records and that my passport and personal belongings were still at Ben's house. He helped me reclaim my possessions but ended up in a firefight with Mossad operatives and got shot. I escaped the agents and made my way to the airport and left Israel.
As I came home, I studied the transcendent blueness of the Zeto Crystal and realised that I should pursue my attraction for Alexander, and that is where this part of my story will begin.
