Who am I? The name is Merneith of the House of Iry-Hor.
What am I? No longer a Kemet noblewoman, not after my father sold me into slavery for his gambling debts. How ‘noble’ was that?
Not a slave, after I started a slave uprising, the first in the history of modern Ta-Kem.
Not a rebel, even though some still call me the Kemet Spartacus on socinet. Some of the slaves I hoped to liberate turned on me when I tried to stop the senseless violence; the rest followed suit when the Per-Oh promised them better masters. Now I know I’m not one of them.
Not a first-worlder – I never needed their pity, was insulted by their condescension, and didn’t feel like satisfying their morbid curiosity.
So be it. I’m not bending over backwards and turning myself inside out to fit in. Besides, I don’t have to – here on Hiva, we’re all misfits.
So, here I am, a captain in the Void Runners Scout Company of the Custodiaspes Battalion. We do tactical intelligence and unconventional warfare.
Here, my friends call me Sphinxie. And hopefully, this story will discourage you from becoming my enemy. $0.99 on Kindle.
