## Story Thus Far

### Backstory

Before Witch Carnival, Daphne attended college where Cadence was one of her teachers. Cadence took a great liking to Daphne began to learn magic under her tutelage. However, when Daphne met Otis, the ring spell activated and she received all her past memories. Realizing Cadence's plans, Daphne turned against her mentor. However, her mothers refused to accept her marriage to Otis, and she ultimately prompted Otis to create Vidar to force the issue. Once pregnant, Daphne visited Cadence another time to declare she would stop Cadence, but Cadence brushed her aside.

At some point, however, Daphne and Otis manage to trap and chain Cadence, with Daphne's energy being the primary hold on Cadence.

### Witch Carnival

Daphne is first seen arriving with Otis to investigate a carnival for witch activity. She and Otis attempt to understand why Cadence would want the place abandoned if her goal is to steal energy. However, before the two can piece the puzzle together they are attacked by skeletons. As Daphne finds herself pinned down, she angrily blasts the skeletons away with magic and summons her blue rose staff. She demands that whoever the culprit is reveal themselves, upon which Heather appears before them with Milo.

Upon seeing Milo, Daphne realizes that it is the soul of Deva. As Otis tries to help the situation, Daphne grows impatient and blasts Milo free. She proceeds to rapidly beat Heather, and with some amount of bitterness erases Heather's memory of her powers. With the battle over, Daphne hugs a surprised Milo and apologizes they didn't find him sooner.

Confused, Milo asks Daphne and Otis about everything that is happening. Daphne explains to Milo that a spell binds their souls together, and that unless she dies, Milo won't die. Otis adds that it also makes Milo married to Daphne, causing Milo to freak out a bit. Before it can escalate further, Daphne convinces the group to head home.

At Daphne's house, Daphne and Otis explain the spell to Milo some more and how it defies space and time. Before the explanation can get too deep, Vidar runs into the room and screams about his hair. Daphne introduces Vidar as her son to Milo and informs him the spell has also made Vidar his son. A freaked out Milo overreacts, and when he assumes Otis and Daphne have slept together, Daphne explains to Milo that Vidar was made purely of magic.

A bit later on, Daphne and Otis lead Milo downstairs so that Daphne can inform Cadence about Heather's fate. She and Otis also take the moment to explain a bit how Cadence used to be their college teacher. However, before they arrive to Cadence's prison, Daphne asks Milo to stay with Otis, fearing for Milo's safety.

Daphne continues on where she eventually finds Cadence in chains. Daphne informs Cadence about what happened to Feather, but Cadence brushes it aside and assures Daphne that she's still her favorite. Daphne becomes more hostile, but Cadence changes the subject when she notices Daphne's second ring. She proposes to Daphne that if Milo can beat one of her witches, she'll accept becoming a planet seed. Though suspicious, Daphne finds the terms agreeable and accepts the deal.

The next day, Daphne is seen briefly sitting Vidar watching Otis and Milo train. Though she offers some words of assurance, she focuses mostly on bonding with Vidar. In the evening, however, Daphne is visited by Milo in her office. Daphne uses the opportunity to explain the ring's spell, as well as her history with Cadence and Otis. She also explains that killing Cadence is difficult because of Cadence's energy sustaining a planet. After some moments, though, Daphne changes the subject and asks after Milo. As Milo rambles and becomes sad about his dead friends and family, Daphne tries to offer him some comfort. However, Milo impulsively kisses her, which she ultimately accepts.

The next day Daphne, Otis, and Cadence sit together in the stands for Cadence's game to start. Otis asks if letting Cadence out it wise, but Daphne assures Otis it's fine. As the fight begins, and illusion of Daphne appears to fight Milo. Enraged, Daphne screams at Cadence, but when Cadence points out it's a witch she created and is not a violation, Daphne is forced to accept it. The fight begins, and due to Milo's refusal to fight he gets beaten. Inevitably, Daphne banishes the illusion with her own magic and sends Cadence back to her prison. However, Daphne misses an ominous whisper from Cadence that seems to effect Milo.

Back at home, Daphne fusses over Milo some. Otis leaves Daphne and Milo alone to check on Vidar, which causes Milo to have a sudden change of character. Milo begins to pressure Daphne for sex, making Daphne become flushed and flustered. However, as his advances continue and she affirms her love for Milo, she accepts his advances. Fortunately, Milo stops just before Otis returns, and a flustered Daphne averts her gaze. Otis asks Daphne to check on Vidar, which she happily complies with.

As she heads for Vidar's room, she notices him heading upstairs where he isn't supposed to go. She follows him, but ultimately arrives to find Vidar trapped with the witch's energy flowing into him and Cadence screaming at her. Otis and Milo arrive to join Daphne, but before Daphne can take action Cadence flees.
