More than thirty years ago, Mrs. O'Neil suffered a complication during the birth of her daughter Robyn, so that she could not have any more children. In his investigation of some things that he purchased, but had not yet sorted, her husband discovered a strange crystal that O'Neil could use to make drawings come to life miraculously. O'Neil decided to satisfy his wife's desire for at least one more child; however, all of the babies he created dissolved into nothingness, because he had drawn them with a pencil. Sometime later O'Neil tried again with an ink pen; the result did not disappear this time and grew into a young woman, April.
