#12 shard of soul
deeper towards the center of the galaxy was a world with a heart of pure crystal. miners who found it were startled to discover each piece they broke off broke in a certain way. the shards were sold across the galaxy, but no one knew that the crystal wasn’t a natural formation. the people of that planet who had chosen to be converted into a huge crystalline memory matrix, and merge their souls to preserve themselves in face of a planetary catastrophe. shard is the first of her people to awaken. childlike and silly she is on a quest to find and awaken the rest of her people.
