Editing Lauren Snyder (section)

==Chronology==
When she was fourteen she became a devout of a goddess, with access to her power. Now that her familiar became corrupted the goddess hates her.<ref>“Made a deal with a goddess back when I was fourteen, to serve her as a devout, to access a conduit of her power.  Her power is my power.  When things went wrong, that spike of darkness in Manu, my familiar… it stuck through some fundamental part of me and nailed something in.  Can’t close the gate, can’t break off the relationship to my goddess, much as she wants me to- she ''despises'' me now.  The darkness will leech off that power until my goddess dies.  I’m not sure it stops then, either.  It might keep the door open to… the universe, I guess.”>- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/break-5/ Excerpt] from [[Break 5]]</ref>

She joined the contests for the [[Carmine Beast|Carmine's]] throne, eventually fighting against the horror that used to be [[Michael Horst]] but before the fight could start she was shot by [[Francis]]. Her death caused her familiar to escape from inside of her. Michael was so horrified that he volunteered to be unmade.

After Michael died [[John Stiles|John]] agreed to fight against her alone, he managed to deal enough damage to Manu that it disappeared back inside Lauren. The contestants all agreed that you could be counted as defeated if you can no longer continue fighting.<ref>“Three agree, one against.  If one contestant is unable to fight or declare themselves willing to continue for a long enough span of time, the match in question may be called,” the Aurum Coil called out, voice filling the Arena.  “How long?”<br><br>“Five minutes,” the Sable Prince told them.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/break-5/ Excerpt] from [[Break 5]]</ref> Afterwards he alternated between killing Lauren and killing her familiar for the next five minutes until she was defeated. The judges seal off the tainted sliver afterwards.<ref>The Sable Prince created a square of darkness in the floor.  All three Judges worked to position the sliver above the door, then dropped it.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/break-5/ Excerpt] from [[Break 5]]</ref>
