  A long time ago, there was a barbarian woman who wanted nothing more than a daughter. She was like a mother to her whole path but yet she felt something was missing.
One day, she spoke to a shaman with the name Ravenstar, she was a very talented shaman and she knew secrets that most shaman had not even heard of. She knew how to create life and put it into another human being.
                
They met at a quiet place in the wilderness and Ravenstar light a fire in front of them, she started to pull out many different rattles and feathers and herbs and started to chant.
Wimp could not see anything happening, she stared at the fire and then back at Ravenstar with doubt it her eyes. But as she did, the flames turned green and a small strim of silverwhite smoke rised from the fire and started to circulate around Wimp's body. Ravenstar put her hand on Wimp's stomach as she kept chanting, and Wimp saw with both fear and delight, how the silvery-white smoke danced into where Ravenstar's hand was placed.

                   ~A few months later~

Neowen was born in the cave with the other barbarians.
But by the age of 5 they realized that she was not like them.
She was a mage. When Wimp found this out she realized immediately that Neowen was not just a mage, but she was a shaman. Just like her other mother was. So she left Neowen in Ravenstar's care, to become a shaman.

When Neowen got older, she fell in love with one of the barbarians. They had a passionate love, that ended quickly.
But it resulted in pregnancy..
It was right about then, that Neowen heard the myth about the clawed girl living in the wilderness with the lobsters.
So she decided that she would go there and find this child.
People would not dare go there, which just made her absolutely furious. For if it was true, then there was a child in there, all alone who needed parenting and help.

And she was right. She found the girl that the townsfolk had called BeRLiN. Which meant, the wild beast.
Neowen however, was used to the barbarians, and this little savage girl was nothing she couldnt handle.
A few months later, she gave birth to twins.
Aglaia, the healer.
And Namu, the barbarian.
She raised the three girls equally with love and support.

And as time passed, they all grew bigger and stronger, and before she knew it they were old enough to move away.
However she had noticed something out of the ordinary with her two daughters BeRLiN and Aglaia.
She took them both into the woods and spoke to them.
And after a while, they finally confessed for eachother that they did not just love eachother as sisters, but as lovers.
Neowen was not disturbed by this. After all, BeRLiN was not her real biological sister, and if they had found love in this crazy world, where she had not. Then she was happy for them.

But with her children flewn out of the nest, and no one to share her old life with. She retired back into the mountains where she occasionally got visited by her daughters.
And eventually grand daughters.
It was not untill she met Solagratia, that the spark in her awoke yet again. This was something she could do.
She saw it right away, that Namu's and her spouses baby, was in fact a shaman. So she took the child with her to the shaman, where the girl was taught about everything she needed to know, to be a full fledged shaman.

And now.. Neowen lives a quiet life of occasional students and studying of the different paths of the lands.
And Occasionally hitting someone in the head with her caine.
