PANACEA-Book One-By Hell or High Water

Book One of the Panacea Series

✰✰✰✰

"When I....started to exist...." The phrase had an alien feeling to it. "The first thing I saw was a beach, isolated in the middle of a cavern full of water. I....walked for a bit, and I talked to a woman. She was dark skinned, like myself, with long purple hair. Every time she moved, it was like every strand of hair was....ablaze. It was just sort of neon, and bright."
It was a strange description, but I nodded.
"She told me, that she made me. I was like an extra limb." Mel brushed a few strands of raven hair from her eyes, but didn't move the curtain that separated us. "In a sense, she said she was the body. Just the torso, with no arms, legs, or head."
"And you're what? Her arm, or....?"
Mel shrugged. "I don't know. She just....described me as being a step to helping her stand up, and function. I did the math, and....if I'm one limb...."
I was wondering when she would get to a point that would answer all my questions, but remained patient. "There are four other limbs. Probably....like you."

The first one was a Sentinel, sent up to watch over a playing piece.
The second was a Warrior, sent up to rise with armies.
The third was a Treasurer, sent up to gather an arsenal.
The fourth? She's defective, lost, and doesn't know her own name.
