Changing Lives

Welcome to Sydon . At first glance it appears to be a clean and modern city where New Borns and Old souls live together in peace and acceptance but for those on the front line for the fight for true equality know better . New Borns have never been reincarnated, they are a fresh soul and have the ability to identify and communicate with reincarnated souls. Regardless of the language spoken or the form taken they can understand and be understood. This ability is lost as soon as they die. This one time life ability is why all New Borns spend their first life working for Relink a government run organisation that helps reincarnated souls be re-united with those they have lived with before . The first life is always the longest . New Borns are completely immune to disease and illness but are able to be killed in the usual way a human form allows. They will die of natural causes at the typical age of 130-140 years old . Holly Curry is a 22 year old New Born . She has no choice but to work for Relink and most people would consider her to be honest and hardworking but then again most people don't know Holly uses her first life ability as a black market spotter, working for the highest paying old souls to track down their past life enemies. What happens to them after she finds them is something she doesn't think about . Old souls are all reincarnated, they can take any human or animal form and are restricted by that form in both their life span and abilities . Although they are able to see each other they can only communicate if their form allows. Unfortunately an Old soul cannot pick the form of reincarnation and although they can remember every life they lived, over time memories are confused and fade. Very rarely, maybe once every two generations, an old soul is reincarnated in the same form for three consecutive lives, and on that third life they possess the ability to permanently remove a soul from circulation this is called finalisation . Tri souls, as they are known, are feared and revered. Untouchable god like creatures who usually use their finalisation ability for less than admirable purposes . Diana Fields is an Old Soul, Her current life form is that of an eagle, her quiet personality and wise mind suit this form and as a result she is well liked and highly respected amongst her friends . Everyone knows she values her privacy but no-one knows this is her third life as an eagle. No-one knows and no-one would believe, that as a Tri-soul Diana is very familiar with black market finalisations. The hatred of a common enemy brings these two opposing characters together and when one makes an unexpected sacrifice the other finds herself on an unfamiliar path to discovery
