My explanation on how Phoenix and Raven came to be, thus resulting on Lydia and Parrish. Hope you enjoy! ^-^ ~rymilu
It started with Chaos.
Adam and Eve had just been banished from Paradise. Lucifer had struck, tempting and taunting the Angels with the desire to become mortal. Angels began to fall and soon became Demons - their biggest enemy and not at all humans. Their Wings and Powers had been stripped; the symbol of Lucifer decorated their biceps and backs. They tried to come back to Heaven, but being touched with Evil they could not. In desperation and madness, they were at Lucifer's feet. The Angels would do anything to go back to Heaven or become human. And, though that may have irritated and angered Lucifer, He came up with a plan.
He gathered the Fallen and told them that only two birds would help them. But there was a catch: the two birds had not yet been created. Lucifer assured the Fallen that they only needed a specific bird to create the other two. All they needed were two Doves. Had the Fallen been human, they would have been horrified since the Dove represented the Holy Spirit. But they were not Angels; they were Fallen and in their desperation, they would do anything that was asked. So they set forward Lucifer's plan.
The Fallen sneaked into the Garden, knowing just how to be undetected - they had, after all, been Angels once and knew the ways. They waited near the cave where the Doves rested. At dawn, the Fallen struck.
Two birds, two white Doves, they took and to Hell they had taken them. Upon Lucifer's command, they forced the Doves to face and witness the Greatest Evil. The two Doves were forced to witness bloodshed, rape, lust, greed and a whole lot of other things. The two beings so pure - just like their white feathers - were shellshocked.
One of the two Doves could not handle seeing such things and burst into flames, becoming nothing but ashes. But it was not dead. It was reborn from the ashes. With feathers as bright as flame and marvelous as the sun, it was stronger than it had been before.
Unlike the other Dove, this one did not burn into flames. This one Dove was stronger. Its feathers turned black as knowledge of war and death came into its mind. Its senses opened and it was no longer a bird of birth and life; instead it was one of death and darkness.
Lucifer could not have been more pleased with the result. He named Himself as the Creator of those two birds. The Phoenix and the Raven, He named them. The Phoenix being the one that burst into flames but was reborn, the Raven the one with the ability to predict death and was filled with knowledge.
The Fallen Angels were soon demanding their mortality and Grace. Lucifer merely laughed at their foolish requests. He told them the cold hearted truth: they - the Fallen Angels - would remain Demons and nothing more. Horrified and stung by betrayal, the Fallen tried to flee and tell God. But they had been banned and the Angels at the Gates of Heaven would not listen to them.
Weary and tired, they returned to Hell, the only place they could stay and where Lucifer had a proposal.
"All of you must mate with mortal women and produce an offspring. If you do this and let the Phoenix and the Raven to the mortal world, then you may take your offspring's mortality for a whole week," Lucifer announced. The Fallen should have known better, yet they still craved that chance, and so they did as Lucifer had proposed.
Shortly after their release, the Phoenix settled in a place where it was hot with desert stretching for miles and miles on and the sun would be the only other thing. The place would soon be called Egypt and the Phoenix would be a sacred creature. As for the Raven, it settled in a place that soon was called Ireland. Years started to fly - the two birds never saw each other, but wondered how the other was doing.
The Phoenix and the Raven soon got tired of living a life where they were mere birds and icons of rebirth and death. They changed their form to look like humans: the Phoenix a man and the Raven a woman. While the Phoenix had dark hair - in honor of the Raven's feathers - and piercing blue eyes like the sky, the Raven had red hair and wide green eyes. Though the two had changed form, they still had their abilities. The Phoenix soon became a Pharaoh, and the Raven a woman that roamed Ireland, mourning over the loss of life, became the Wailing Woman.
The two creatures mated with humans and centuries passed by. Their offspring had the power that the two possessed. Yet only Raven female offspring had the Raven's powers and only Phoenix males had the Phoenix in them.
The Ravens and the Phoenixs started to slowly die - hunted by hunters. But there were two left and those two were finally reunited in a place called Beacon Hills.
His name was Jordan Parrish, the Phoenix and a veteran of war. Her name was Lydia Martin, the Raven and the one with knowledge. The two were reunited, and she promised him they would know what he was. It was somewhat foolish for her to be offering him help, but meaningful. After all, out of the two, she had always been the strongest and the wisest. They gazed into each other's eyes and a spark - an old flame - started to grow between them - their powers slowly starting to grow back into the full potential that they had had back when they were transformed from Doves to a Phoenix and a Raven.
Scott McCall, the True Alpha, was very lucky to have them in his Pack. Because, though Lydia and Parrish were powerful apart, together they would do great things. Together, Jordan and Lydia would become what they used to be: The Phoenix and the Raven.
