Chapter 2: Dawn of Sorrow
Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
Aristotle
Danny Chambers was shocked by a wave of terror and sadness, as if some part of him was destroyed. He looked ahead with freight. Something was wrong. "Danny, are you okay?" asked Alice with a worried look in her eyes. "Tell Madalgo and Mana that I had an emergency" said Danny as he ran out. "Danny, wait!" said Alice as she tried to stop him with no avail. Mana and Madalgo happened to be close by as they saw Danny rush out. "Is everything alright?" asked Mana while placing a shoulder on Alice's. "I don't know" said Alice, crying softly. "Something is wrong with my husband" "We have noticed it too. Me and Madalgo can't figure out what's been freaking him out" added Mana. Madalgo said nothing, but looked forward with a solemn look. "There is only one thing that could terrify Danny that much. "He has returned" thought Madalgo to himself.
Balki, better known as the dark witch among shamans, met Danny shortly after he left the party. "Danny, it's Demetra" "Demetra! What about her!" said Danny in a panic. "Danny…she's gone. She has been killed and her soul has been stolen. Come; I'll take you there" She took Danny's arm and teleported them to the scene of the crime. "DEMETRA!" yelled Danny upon arriving. He saw her body with a depressing look of fear and pain on her face. He fell to his knees. Shinato himself came over and tried to comfort Danny. "Is it true Shinato? Was her soul stolen?" said Danny with rage building up. "Yes, it was Danny." "What does that mean for her afterlife?" Shinato remained silent. Danny rose up and turned around. "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR HER AFTERLIFE!" yelled Danny. "She won't have an afterlife unless her soul is freed" said Archangel Saturn, who was also on scene. Those words ripped Danny's heart apart. "AFTER EVERTHING SHE WENT THROUGH, SHE CAN'T EVEN HAVE A HAPPY AFTERLIFE! NO! I WON'T ACCEPT THAT!" yelled Danny, while clenching his teeth in rage. Suddenly, an evil aura started to pulsate out of Danny as his eyes glowed crimson. "Shinato, is it happening?" asked Archangel Mercury. Shinato gave a small growl of apprehension. "We have to calm him down" Archangel Venus came quickly and embraced Danny. "Danny we will get to the bottom of this. Please calm yourself. Please come back" Danny suddenly did come to his senses and pushed himself away from her. He looked at his hands in freight. "What was that?" "You were just overcome by your emotions. A fit of rage" added Balki quickly. She and the other angels in heaven knew full well what just happened, but knowing what that meant, they had to keep it under wraps the best they can. Danny breathed in and finally released most of his anger. "Do you know who is responsible?" asked Danny. The angels also knew the answer to this question, but also couldn't dare tell Danny that, knowing that Danny will most certainly go berserk. "We will keep you informed" was all Shinato said about the matter. Danny walked over to Demetra's still half nude body, removed his cloak and covered her. He then knelt down and embraced her body crying fresh tears. "Demetra…I'm sorry" "Danny, don't" said Venus, trying to hold back her tears. "I'll get you back Demetra!" yelled Danny to the sky. Then he sobbed more tears as he held her close
Alice was back at the party, still thinking about Danny. She had retired to just munching on party snacks, only occasionally taking the moment to greet her subjects from Noma. Madalgo and Mana came over to join her. Before they could ask her about Danny or any other related matters, she decided to spark conversation. "I never had the chance to ask you two about why you guys decided to get married" said Alice with a smile. Taken aback by the situation, Mana answered. "I have to admit it was out of the blue. Can I tell you a little secret between friends?" asked Mana. "Oh sure, shoot" she said getting interested. "To tell you the truth, I thought Danny would propose to me first. Madalgo and he used to fight over me all the time. This is of course before he met you" Alice understandably was a tad bit uncomfortable, but knowing that her husband often had a proper but casual relationship with women, she thought little of it. "I think it was meant to be. The ring I gave Mana actually just came to me one day when I was in the hospital. Mana saw it and immediately said yes as I was just examining it. I was lucky I guess. I've been trying to get together with Mana for a while; I was just too embarrassed and also worried about Danny's feelings about it. But he didn't seem bothered by it at all. Or…at least I hope he isn't" said Madalgo looking down with some sadness. He knew full well that wasn't the true story. He thought about that day almost 10 months ago. Danny had just returned from traveling with that strange fellow from the harpie's mountain. He knew Danny was coming to visit him and hopefully learn why he was in the hospital in the first place and also said he wanted to speak to Mana, but Mana was there first. She was very upset that he was hurt, even after all that time. Mana started to kiss him. Madalgo made mention that Danny was on his way and might get hurt if they saw them. "Oh Madalgo, but it is you that I love. I've wanted to tell you so long. You were the one who taught me everything I know about magic. I care for Danny so much and I know how much he loves me, but I know in my heart it is you that I would be happy with." She rested her head on his shoulder. Madalgo felt a moment of ecstasy inside of him. His deepest wish came true. Mana had chosen him. Danny didn't even cross his mind until he noticed him partially hidden by the door. He had in his hand a small box which contained the most beautiful ruby ring that he had ever seen, and he was looking at it in a blank stare. Madalgo's heart turned to ice. He must have heard everything. Their eyes met. Madalgo wanted to say "I'm sorry" and subtly kept Mana from noticing his presence. Danny closed the box and angrily threw it to where Madalgo laid. He then left quickly without saying a word. "Wait!" cried Madalgo as he tried to get up. "Mana noticed the disturbance and rose up. She noticed the velvet box and looked inside. She saw the ruby ring. "Oh Madalgo, yes! Yes I will!" cried Mana with tears as he held him tightly. Madalgo, was of course happy, but was even more devastated by what just happened. "Madalgo, are you okay?" asked Mana as she held his hand. "Yeah, I'm fine" he said sadly. That's probably why he never wants to come around anymore and is also been so sad lately thought Madalgo to himself. The front doors burst open and Danny barged in. "Danny, what the…" said Alice with a gasp. "Alice, we need to go home now…" he said menacing
