Magical Enlightenment

The Start Of a New Year...

   January 1…the start of this new year would definitely change from tradition. Damian Callymay the town mayor had just announced a new rule that will taken from their laws. The town curfew which the previous mayor put in place. He knew the people didn't like it so why not repeal it. 

   He walked into his office and sighed as he sat in his chair. He wasn't much for this but he kept it cool or he'd be taken out of office. He layed his head on his desk and thought. He'd been mayor since he was just 25 when he was legally allowed in this town. "Sir?..." he heard from the door. He looked up and saw his old friend. 

   "Eugene Everstone is here to see you Sir" one of the guards said calmly before closing the door back. Eugene walked over to the desk and smiled. "Thought I'd stop by Damian " he said softly. 

   "After what? 6 years absence" Damian growled. 

   "Cause of family i tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen" Eugene chuckled as he seemed to just stare at the other.

    "Well your oldly timed visit?" Damian sighed, changing the subject. 

   "Well can't I just say hi and catch up. Speaking of which. You seem to be doing well. You're the Mayor and all" Eugene smirked as he talked. He had something else in mind. 

   "Oh please! It's not as glamorous as it seems especially when you're the mayor over this town for 5 better yet 6 years today" Damian sighed as he leaned back. 

   They talked for about an hour but Eugene had to leave for something "important". Damian couldn't help but think about the other. 

   Damian went home since it was getting dark out. He went to his room the moment he got home. He started taking his overcoat off and undoing his tie. He heard his phone ding and he checked it. Its was Marvin?

<- is Marvin •Damian >

-You doing okay?

•okay is an understatement Marvin 

-awe.. well you better not be hurting yourself cause i will go off about that idc if your mayor or not

•i know i know 

•CHILL im not doing that anymore 

-my point still stands

   "Heh…" Damian chuckled. He soon heard something down the hall and set his phone down to go see. "Hello?" He called out. Nothing. 

   He sighed and walked down the hall. He check the whole house and found nothing. He shook off any paranoia about intruders or robbers, going back to his room he sat on his bed again. 

   "I can't do this anymore" he mumbled under his breath. His friends had their jobs and family while he didn't. The only people he had close to even good family and friends was Marvin and Eugene and one hardly visits unless he has something planned. 

   He closed his eyes and sat up. Looking around he stood up and got something to change into

In the morning…

   Damian started walking and as he did, a figure appeared out of nowhere. "Ah! Hello?" Damian asked, surprised.

    They stayed quiet and pulled Damian into a nearby alley and pinned him against the wall. No one even noticed! 

   "What are you doing!" Damian yelled trying to break free of this person. But that person wasn't human and it put his black hand over Damian's mouth. The thing seemed to smile as his hand seemed to fade into dark. "Perfect…" it growled in a deep glitching voice. Soon enough the figure had disappeared completely into Damian. Only then was it called pure magic. Dark magic…

   Damian fainted and fell to the ground. He was unable to remember what had happened just minutes ago…or even seconds. 

   The police chief Jackie soon came running having overheard Damian yell. Seeing the mayor passed out on the ground he called for backup to check the area. He even had his partner Steven get a hold of the hospital in case Damian had any injuries. 

   Jackie picked up Damian with Oscar's help and help him lead Damian out of the alley. Minutes passed before the ambulance arrived. Since it was the mayor Henrik came. 

   "Dr Schneeplestein thank god you came…" Jackie sighed as he and Oscar helped the Doctors gently into the back of the ambulance.  

    Henrik nodded. "Do you know what happened?" He asked. 

   Jackie nodded no. "I only heard him yell…" he sighed then looked away at the alley. "I don't know if he has any injuries, figured it would be best if you all checked. " 

   Henrik sighed, why the mayor? Of all people why him. "Look we should be going. We should be able to let you know if anything happens. As far as I..we understand he doesn't exactly have many family members in reach...and none as emergency contacts. It can also mean we can't rule out that this is self influenced" he said calmly.

   "I get it...there are so many cases like this now-a-days. Its hard to find out if it was suicide or murder..." Sighed as he looked at the other.

  Henrik nodded and gave the sign for the others to leave with Dark. "Though i know it would be quicker on the spot...he doesn't look to be breathing" he mumbled.

   "Of course. And about the last meeting. Im glad Chase finally got his job...he seems to be doing a whole lot better since you and him...you know" Jackie teased.

   "Oh you ass!." Henrik yelled embarrassed.

   "Not my fault its obvious " Jackie chuckled.

   "Still but to say that in public? So mean"

   Jackie just chuckled. "Well I'll see you later Henrik. We both have our job to do" he smiled as he went with Steven and Oscar to go on patrol again.

Later...

   Damian woke up and saw Henrik working on a few things. "Oh your awake?" The doctor asked.

  "Somewhat....what uh....what happened...?" Damian asked.

   "As far as we know either something with your health...possibly a heart attack or you where attacked..."

  "What makes you think i got attacked?.." Damian asked.

   "You had brusing on your neck and chest and a small fracture to your skull..possibly if you fell"

  Damain went quiet quickly being lost in thought. As far as he knew he blacked out. Unaware of his new magic or how he got it. Deep inside it was only gonna get darker. Have effects on his personality..and change his whole world...that he works so hard to keep within his own control.
