You really don't like him, do you? Father, I mean. Your runner name says it all. Mordred. Arthurian mythology is spoiled for bastards, but you went and picked the one who started a rebellion against his parent. Being a mythology geek to match me, you probably would have picked Beaumains or Lohengrin, otherwise. Someone who undertook their quest while keeping their real name secret. Then again, if you were my full brother, I probably wouldn't be writing you this message.
But, I'm getting off topic. Sorry.
Let me tell you about my friend, Flo (This is relevant, promise!). She has a gift with computers and machines that is more than mundane, but she's no technomancer. Rather, she's an adept. A hacking adept, if you can believe it. Flonnietta Baskov is a dryad, born as part of Evo's attempt to breed awakened metahumans. For years, it was believed that she was a failed subject of those experiments. As there was no chance of gaining any useful data from her, Flo was dumped at the most convenient private school, and her parents (Evo researchers) were essentially told, "Better luck next time". Nothing more was expected of her than completing her education and becoming just another wageslave. Her powers turned things around completely. Flo became an asset, rather than a burden. Gifted. Special. She's now in a program for adept students.
Though I know this isn't always the case, it has been my experience that mages and adepts consider their Awakening a change for the better. After all, the magic saved you, Riley. But you're wrong in comparing what happened that night to my Emergence. I don't know what the Resonance did to me. I'm still trying to find out. I was nine when the second Crash happened. Before then I had lived the carefree life of a rich kid, confident that my parents and the corporation would keep me safe. But I don't think anything could have protected me from being trapped in the Matrix.
And it was not the Matrix I had known. Within, there was nothing but a horrible darkness. One that threatened to consume everything in its path. Including me. Unable to log off, I ran, and as I fled terrible red shapes flashed before my eyes. Even today, I remember them clearly. I think they're what viral complex forms look like to me. All too soon, the darkness swallowed me. I thought that was it. I was going to die, alone and frightened. You're not an only child, so obviously I survived. Barely (haha).
I awoke in what looked like an apartment. The world was black, white and soundless. And I don't mean like in silent movies (you know what those are, right?). The white was stark, almost blinding. The black was every bit as absolute as the darkness that fell upon me. I didn't know where I was, or how to get home. Actually, I didn't have time to contemplate that. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a woman, beckoning me toward her. I followed. She was my only clue on how to get home. That "stay where you are so someone can find you thing" doesn't work online. Outside the apartment building, the streets were also silent and bare of color.
That changed as I followed her further. Black and white were replaced by the earthy colors of cobblestones. And the green of grass left unchecked. At the end of the journey was a castle of glass, shattered and worn. I finally got a good look at the woman. She was pretty, if not elegant, and dressed for a funeral. Under her veil, she had pale skin and long blonde hair. I still do not truly know who the woman is. My namesake, perhaps. Does that make the ruins Avalon? I have come to know her as an Emerged mentor spirit. My paragon.
Looking at the destruction, I knew what I had to do. It was as if a faint memory was guiding me. For the first time, I called upon the Resonance, and it answered. Before my eyes and at my command, a shining palace rose from the debris. Glass towers rebuilt themselves. Overgrowth shrank and vanished. The stones of a broken road moved themselves back into place. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hospital bed. It was the first time I ever saw Father cry. Maybe the first time anyone ever will.
I'd like to say life returned to normal, but I'd be lying. Riley. It's going to break my heart to know, but some day, you need to tell me everything. About the second Crash, and the technomancer hunt. My parents made sure I was home at the time. I've hardly been able to leave the estate, since, actually. They don't want anything happening to me. Nor do they want to bear the stigma of having a technomancer for a child. Especially now that I'm being groomed to take over for Father after he retires. As far as anyone knows, Mr. and Mrs. Senlis have a sickly daughter that needs to stay in for her health. The few times I can go out, I'm usually headed to school or work.
Which isn't to say I'm a prisoner. Not as long as the Resonance is with me. At night, while my body sleeps, I can slip into the Matrix. For eight sweet hours, I'm free and powerful in a world that bends to my will.
You know what? Maybe you weren't wrong about my Emergence.
But we can argue about that later. It's almost time for me to wake up. You must be busy, too. Goodbye, Riley. And good luck.
