Lynn Ferguson's Background by Eden Blackthorn

The Awakening



Lynn has always been a good child, likend to a 'little angel' because of her angelic looks of blond hair and an inteligent green eyes. She was forever bringing home stray or hurt animals to heal.

At about age 16, she discovered Wicca and embraced it fully as both a religion and a hope to do 'magic'. Lynn was dreamer and had strong feelings about the world in general. At this time, the Celestial Chorus and the Verbena noticed her, mostly because of her 'Angelic' avatar, as it hovered ever near, attempting to Awaken Lynn.

Around her 17th birthday, she met a man. A man that totally took her breath away. He was tall and fair and glorious. His name was Eris and he was a Cult of Exstacy mage. By this time, even the Cults had noticed her. Eris took it upon himself to try to awake Lynn. He taught her all he knew of Wicca and was approaching the time in which he introduced her to true magic. But, by this time, Lynn was pregnant. Her parents forbade her from seeing Eris at all, to the point of grounding her. But, Eris and Lynn still met secretly.

Near her 18th birthday and her 8th month, Lynn decided to run away to be with Eris. She got in her parent's car driving to his house, only find it burning. Numb and afraid, she started to leave to go back home. As she pulled out, another car, seemly from no where struck her head on. Dazed, she crawled out of the wrecked car in pain... and she felt the pain of contractions. As she lay there bleeding, knowing she was going to die, another woman hurried up and bent over her. She told Lynn that her name was Amber and that she was a midwife. Amber knew that Lynn was in labor. And she knew that Lynn was close to death.

During the pain of contractions, Lynn Awoke. Over Amber's shoulder, Lynn saw an angel hovering there and heard the angel speak. "Thou shalt not die! I will not allow it!" (Destiny 2) The angel reached down and touched Lynn on the forehead and world exploded. Lynn could see everything. Feel Amber's heart. Taste the wind. And she knew her baby was dying.

Lynn screamed aloud in the pain the contractions. "My baby!" She cried. Amber worked feverishly as Lynn bore the child. Lynn could see the magic flowing from Amber as she sang softly. And she could tell it was doing to no good. She touch her baby's still, unbreathing body and WILLED it to live. The baby's cry answered her before she passed out.

Later, when she awoke in the hospital, Amber came to her and explained what happened and offered to teach Lynn the ways of magic and the ways of the Verbena. Lynn agreed.
