Danael (World Without)

* Old
* Adult
* World Without

### Physical appearance

Danaël still looks the same as before the Cycle World Without: he is a man in his late 30s (what it looks like but he is in fact ~32), with messy blond hair and light blue eyes. He has a sporty physique thanks to the work in the fields.

Almost twenty years after the end of the Jovénia effects, he has let his hair grow and wears a beard.

### Personality

Danaël is an honest and calm young man. He enjoys his country life, far from worries and hassles. He is very romantic with his wife, and very friendly with the people of his village. In a situation of danger, he feels helpless and does not know how to act, but he prefers to save the people he cares about first.

### Abilities

Danaël is not a good fighter. Uncomfortable with a sword, his only asset is a daze that he does not choose to trigger, a state during which his sword turns golden and he is suddenly better in combat, as he was able to prove by measuring himself against Michi-Gan or even the demon Abyss.

### Before Book 18

Danaël meets Shimy, and marries her. They have been a couple for more than ten years.

One day, the Legendary Artémus Del Conquisador passes in front of Danaël and Shimy's farm, and asks them for information. To thank him, he gives him a bottle of Ricolès.

### Book 19

For some time, Danaël has been subject to strange dreams: he sees himself in knight's garb, fighting evil with several people he does not know, apart from his wife Shimy who, for some strange reason, has the appearance of a blue-haired elf. But it's not her who obsesses his dreams, but a dark-skinned magician. One day, they go to the village of Tékinbolos to do some shopping. A mygaloupe escapes from a convoy, and almost attacks Shimy. Danaël manages to save her, and the animal is restrained by Amy, the disciple of the Legendary Artémus who arrives just after. When he can't draw his weapon, Danaël seizes it in an unconscious impulse, and miraculously manages to kill the animal. Artémus then decides to invite them to a tavern, and discusses with them. He offers them to come with him, so that they can help him recover his chest stolen by the Fabulous. They are reluctant at first, but are forced to accept because it is possible that Orchidia will file a complaint against them for the loss of the animal. So they come with him, after having equipped themselves in the Myth Cloth shop. When they leave, Danaël entrusts the farm to Ikaël, one of his friends, whom he considers a brother. During the trip, Danaël often trains in combat with Amy. This one takes badly the remarks of Danaël on the apparent laziness of the Legendary. One evening, he asks to look at the Legendary's sword. When he picks it up, he whispers the words "Once a day, always together", which Artemus finds odd. During training with Amy, she tries to motivate him to fight by telling him that he will not have the strength to fight to defend the one he loves. Unconsciously, his sword turns golden, and he knocks his trainer down, greatly surprised.

During the following days, the group came across the Fabuleux. Danaël finds himself facing Michi-Gan, but is knocked down very quickly. The farmer gets up, and, again, manages to defeat his enemy while in an unconscious state, his sword having turned golden again. Then, he finds Shimy, but she has met two elemental Elves, Gryf and Solaris.

The two Elves wish to take Shimy with them, however, the pair are saved by Amy and Artemus. Danaël and Shimy take to their heels towards Orchidia. While waiting for the queen, they discuss among themselves the strange powers they have manifested, but decide to keep it to themselves. They are welcomed by Invidia, the queen of the country. The next moment, Princess Shun-Day tumbles down and jumps on Artémus. The latter, as well as Danaël and Shimy, are invited to Jadilyna's Stick-Eagle ceremony. In the evening, Shimy shows Danaël the dress she will wear to the ceremony, and they start dancing. At night, Danaël has a nightmare: he dreams that he is the only Legendary alive and that the other Legendaries have become zombies. These strange dreams make him wonder if they really are who they think they are.

The next day, Byskaros, a member of the Church of Infinity, invited to attend the ceremony warns the couple that the priestess Ténébris has been kidnapped. Leading the investigation, they were about to warn Invidia, when Vangelis has them arrested, with, as a bonus, Artémus. Luckily, thanks to an elemental fusion from Shimy, they escape.

It is then that, once in the shallows, they find themselves face to face with the pirate Jadina, as well as the priestess Ténébris and Amy. When Danaël confesses to recognizing her ("You are the woman of my dreams"), Shimy hits him. Danaël then throws himself on Byskaros to save him from a magic flash. He asks Shimy to launch an elemental attack, then runs to bring down the pirate's guard. But Jadina, protected by a spell, retaliates by launching a magic discharge. Fortunately, Danaël awakens his old personality again, and after being pushed back, he neutralizes Jadina and kisses her, while Ténébris takes the opportunity to knock the pirate out with a brick. After waking up, he sees Gryf and Solaris, who have taken Shimy with them before leaving for Astria. He rushes immediately, but his legs are weakened and he only manages to recover an elven compass.

Following the recent troubles, Invidia summons Danaël, Artémus, Amy, Byskaros, Ténébris and Judge Razzia. She instructs them to go to Astria to recover Shimy, the presence of the judge is to play diplomats with King Kash-Kash. Danaël however warns Razzia: if diplomacy fails, he will use force. They leave Orchidia on the back of carapax.

Arrived on Astria, our friends discover that it is threatened by the Void, a dimensional breach. However, Danaël only asks to get Shimy back. King Kash-Kash tells them it is impossible, but reassures them that she is safe at the verdant shrine of Grinaro. However, Danaël interprets this response as a failure of diplomacy and, convinced that Shimy is in great danger, decides to leave with Amy on a carapax once night comes, after having drugged the mounts of the others so as not to be followed and their left a letter.

In the days that followed, Danaël constantly thinks about Captain Jadina and tries as best he can to think only of his wife. He also notices that Amy's majakai has repaired itself. A caravan passes near them, and they ask the travelers the reason for their trip. The Elves explain to them that the Void is about to destroy Astria. Danaël and Amy immediately hit the road again.

On the way, they see the intense flash heralding the end of the Void. When they arrive at the Grinaro Sanctuary, Danaël sees Shimy but there is something odd: she now looks like an Elf with blue hair. The Elf Gryf has regained a Jaguarian appearance. There, he understands that his dreams are indeed proof that they are not really the people they think they are, and that their world does not exist. Then arrive Shun-Day and Jadina, aboard a flying machine, who announce that the world is real, even if it was created from scratch.

### Book 22

Shun-Day, holding the diary of Artémus Del Conquisador, explains to the witnesses that this one rewrote reality. Also, she explains that some people, including Danaël, Jadina, Gryf, Shimy, Razzia and Ténébris were heroes, the Legendaries. During the week, Danaël thinks he is going crazy, having trouble accepting this story despite the evidence. Jadina, who was asleep next to him, is awakened by his cry of amazement, and claims that he shouted her name a lot during his dreams to make fun of him. This is the third time she's made a joke like this.

A few days later, they have a discussion, during which Jadina explains to him that if she captured Ténébris, it is because a certain Elysio, who calls himself the Scarlet Mage, hired her precisely for that. Later, he trains with Gryf in combat in a small arena. There, he strikes first, managing to recreate the properties of his golden sword, which impresses the audience. Danaël tells his "adversary" that he still hasn't recovered his memory, and he asks him for help so he can become their leader again. Shimy interrupts the fight, and joins in. Jadina also arrives, standing alongside Danaël. Then the fight begins.

One morning, Solaris and Roccia return from the jungle of Makumba, where they have found an elven key, probably belonging to Razzia and Ténébris. Just then, Shun-Day arrives, carrying a very sick Amy on his shoulder. The next moment, she is surrounded by an aura, and transforms into a demon Chiridirelle, as she could have been before the change of reality. This one says that she wants to kill Artémus, before launching a destructive ray in the direction of the group, just protected by Jadina and her Eagle Staff. Then she teleports away. The group immediately follows her. Leaving the portal of teleportation, they find themselves several tens of meters above a strange city. They are caught up by Shun-Day who has taken a Galina form. Shimy falls further. They deduce that Razzia is here. Danaël then asks Gryf and Shun-Day to find him, while he and Jadina take care of slowing down Amy. Shimy arrives, and partly overpowers the demon, she is accompanied by a certain Lionfeu. Danaël remembers having heard this name, it is that of Shimy's former pet, mentioned in the newspaper. At this moment, Amy rises into the air, and launches a saving beam on the city. Hearing Lionfeu speak, Danaël understands that the spell that changed reality is called World Without. When Shimy talks about killing Amy, Jadina lashes out at her, because that's not what Legendaries are supposed to do. At this moment, a mage, named Elysio, arrives. He overpowered Amy. Danaël asks the Scarlet Mage to help them, because Artémus is responsible for this spell.

At this moment, Razzia arrives, and makes Amy listen to reason, who finally manages to return to human form. Following this, an explosion resounds in the large tower. Elysio is in emergency, because in this tower is the mirror of truth, which can remedy World Without. Danaël tells him that there is something more urgent: to save the inhabitants of the city. They can find another way to deal with the spell later. Elysio listens to him, and orders Lionfeu to guide them to the surface, while he takes care of destroying the crystal. On the way, he opens a teleportation portal by passing Ténébris, whose skin has turned white, through it. Then, the city is evacuated, before being destroyed with the mirror of truth in an explosion.

Afterwards, Jadina and Danaël discuss together. They intend to return to the elven world to study Artemus' diary. There, Gryf arrives, and precisely deposits Artémus, which leaves a tank.

### Book 23

A week after the destruction of the city of the Awoken, the heroes are aboard a flying elven ship. Danaël is elected leader by a narrow majority, much to Jadina's chagrin. He wishes to deliver Artémus and his diary to the authorities of Oroban, the writer categorically refusing to restore reality. Jadina and Shimy oppose him, believing it's a bad idea. One day, when Amy gets angry with Artémus, Danaël reminds her that it's useless, there's no risk of him cooperating.

A few hours later, Danaël interrupts a discussion of Shimy with Lionfeu (via crystaphone). She explains to him that the Awakened will temporarily settle in Astria. The Elf asks him again if he considers it safe to deliver the diary and Artemus to the authorities, he replies that Shun-Day and Invidia will interfere in their favor. He considers that it is not up to them to make such important decisions, but to the authorities. He is interrupted by Gryf, who tells him to trust his instincts more, as he has saved the world more than once. Once there, they see Darkhell struggling with a woman, whom Gryf saves, and Abyss. Danaël and Jadina descend, accompanied by elemental clones of Shimy and Artémus, hoping to fool their enemies. Danaël asks Abyss what he intends to do with Artémus, he replies that they have disputes to settle with him. The demon soon realizes that the Artemus presented to him is an elemental clone, as Darkhell gets kicked away by Shimy. Abyss attacks this one, but it's also a clone, and the real Shimy attacks, while Danaël also charges. They are both arrested immediately, and driven back. Jadina attacks, but her G jade blast has no effect. She is defeated by Darkhell who returns to the fight.

A few minutes later, Danaël, Shimy and Jadina wake up, as the elven ship has taken off and crashed further (part in moat, part in town) due to Abyss. Jadina hears a voice calling her, and leaves the scene on a flying wing, pursued by Darkhell. Shimy and Danaël are surprised. Abyss prepares to attack them, the former couple recalls their life on the farm, nostalgic. They are quickly pushed back, but an attack from the demon is parried by Toopie: she did not die in the crash of the ship, and is in control of an automaton, Ding Dong, which she had made during the previous days. They are both surprised when she explains that there are several of them helping them. Suddenly, Abyss seems lost: it seems that Jadina has destroyed the link between Abyss and the titanic tree he controlled. Danaël and Shimy rejoice, as Toopie attacks him with fire, but to no effect, he retaliates by partially destroying the automaton the girl controls.

The fight resumes between Abyss and Danaël, the demon managing to damage his opponent's sword without taking the slightest damage. He sends Danaël to the ground, before being surprised by a new adversary: ​​Samaël, who has regained his original memories and his appearance as a human affected by a curse. Shortly after, Jadina, Razzia, Amy and Ténébris, as well as Dasyatis, arrive in the middle of the fight, to inform the demon of Darkhell's defeat. Danaël is intrigued by Jadina's appearance, she kisses him: he immediately finds the memory of his former life.

The fight starts again between Abyss and all the fighters, while Danaël's thoughts race with all the memories he recovers. He thinks he has an idea to defeat Abyss: Jadina will launch a powerful magic attack behind which he will hide to hit the demon. That's what she does, but it doesn't take: Abyss understands the subterfuge and rushes in, but he's stopped in his tracks by someone: Darkhell has just grabbed him from behind, and Danaël, before even understanding what whatever happens, pierces the demon with his sword, as well as the man behind. The knight understands that he has also touched the Dark Wizard, who says his name is Galen when he dies. Abyss explodes, ejecting Danaël, who is amazed to see that Darkhell has sacrificed himself to help them. Ténébris explains to them that he was probably delivered from the World Without, while becoming the good man he was. Danaël then repeats his name: Galen. However, the respite is only short-lived: the Abyss parasite emerges from the rubble, before being stopped by Shun-Day, back in the fight. She grinds down the parasite before devouring it, turning her into a terrifying and out-of-control fusion between herself and Abyss, a fusion that proclaims herself to be "Raven, Keeper of Truth".

   "Raven" launches a projectile towards the city of Oroban, which explodes. The fighters are shocked to see that she was able to do this, so Danaël understands that the person they are dealing with no longer distinguishes between good and evil. Suddenly, Artemus arrives, but surprises the audience by showing the charred remains of his diary.

All note that despite the destruction of it, the World Without effects are still present. Artemus explains that three years earlier when, during the fight against Kalandre during the Battle of Casthell, the godstones exploded, a fragment of one of them was inserted into his forehead, which explains why he is the only one who can write in it. He adds that on several occasions, since their death in the Battle of Casthel, he has tried to bring them back. That's why he used the capabilities of his diary to rewrite reality. However, in each of these realities, the Legendaries eventually died. For his sixth attempt, two years after the first, he therefore decided on something else: to give them new lives, far removed from their original ones. It seemed to work at first, but he finds that fate seems to be pointing them to their deaths again.

Artémus is immediately pierced by Raven, Danaël and the other fighters charge, but are pushed back. Artemus adds that he believes he is able to conjure up a Void on purpose, these being actually the product of his fears made real by the power of the divine shard. Artemus and Raven are sucked into the Void, with Amy piercing the super-powered creature's heart, preventing him from stopping it all. After the deaths of Artémus, Raven and Amy, Danaël finds on the ground a fragment of a page from the diary, on which Artémus has scribbled a note, in which he thanks them for having made him a better man, and in which he writes one last change to make to the world: the end of the Jovenia effect. Thus, the initial dream of the Legendaries is granted, and the inhabitants of the two worlds return to their adult size.

### 1 year after the end of Jovénia

A year later, in the city of Oroban, under reconstruction, the Legendaries attend the celebration of the first birth since the Jovénia Accident in a tavern. However, brigands, the Eskadros brothers, enter and seize the baby, believing that it will bring them a lot of money. Razzia recovers the young child, returns it to its mother, while the Legendaries massacre the bandits, before leaving the scene. They are caught by the mother, who asks them who they are. Danaël replies that they are the heirs of Artémus, but that she can simply call them the Legendaries.

### 10 years after the end of Jovénia

Danaël and Jadina have twins, whom they name Aidan and Nadia. They are very close to them, and they also call on Saryn, who becomes the children's nanny.

### Nine years after Nadia and Aidan were born

the gods have returned to Alysia. They cause the Great Cataclysm, an event in which the two moons collide, causing earthquakes and tsunamis across the globe. They terrorize the world with their armies of celestial guards led by the Apostles.

As one of them, Sokatar, ravages the kingdom of Orchidia and decapitates Queen Invidia, the Legendaries, reunited again, gather to face him. The heroes are doing well. However, when they are about to defeat their enemy, they are betrayed: Jadina sides with her and defeats them, leaving only Razzia who thinks she is the sole survivor.

### Resistance: The gods are love

Two years after the Legendaries' alleged deaths, Aidan and Nadia are still looking for their parents or any information about them. They end up meeting Razzia, at the head of a resistance opposing the gods and their Apostles. This one lies to the children by claiming that the Legendaries, including Jadina and Danaël, died against Sokatar. Later, Razzia gives Aidan her pendant which is a fragment of Danaël's sword which he retrieved before Sokatar and the youngest of the Apostles, Luminia attacked the base. Mortally wounded by Sokatar, Razzia uses her last moments to tell Nadia the truth about what happened to the Legendaries.
