The Daniels were three and they were of a brotherhood that remained secret till late in their old ages. At times life crossed their paths as if to challenge their seeing, the remembering of a common seed they all carried inside. None of them was strong enough to watch the bleeding diamond in the heart of the other. None of them knew, yet each one carried a liquor that could heal a bleading heart. As they were Daniels, they were raised proud and learned to keep their pain hidden in the darkness of their deep minds.
The first one to be born was Daniel the Wise. He spent his life studying and understanding the world of Matter, digging its most sophisticated laws and manifestations, observing the behaviour of its finest particles, bringing the world new knowledge. Daniel the Wise took life as it came.
The second one was Danielle the Wave. She spent her life watching the rain fall and dreaming of the ocean, listening to the rays of early morning sun, collecting their light. One evening, Fire started talking to her, in a game of answers and questions. Tales about time, about pride and estranged lovers.
Daniel the Winner, the third one, was born in castle made of jade. Driven and brilliant, he kept building new towers to the castle. He was given the gift to clean the air, gift he was succesfully selling around. He would at times employ friends, promising various boons for the best sales. Some were promised a secret, some endless fields of roses, crystal horses and to one he even promised half of his castle. Daniel the Wise came Daniel the Winner across at a fair where scientists, fakirs and alchemists were gathering to exchange knowledge, skills and wonders. The Daniels were strong men who knew how to hide pain. When crossed each other and heard the screeming diamond in the other's heart, they kept walking, merely wondering how could a stranger have so much the same gaze in his eyes. Danielle the Wave came across Daniel the Wise one day, as they were walking on a beach. Daniel the Winner also came across Danielle the Wave, with the occasion of a speech that he was supposed to give on his magic gift for cleaning the air. If it’s “in the air” maybe cleaning the air could help the world clean all the pain, she thought, and went to join the gathering. The moment their eyes crossed, a fluid of infinite silence enveloped the two. She saw the bleeding diamond in his heart but for once, she couldn't help. His pride was keeping him closed and afar. Daniel the Winner saw the power they could have together, but he feared losing his own magic powers; at least they kept him strong and shining for so long.
There is no end to the story of the travelling Daniels and they are actually more than three, each one carrying a bleeding diamond and a healing liquor deep inside. As long as the Daniels see the world through their wisdom, gifts and miseries, they'll keep searching for healing where it is not, they'll keep hesitating to pour their healing liquor where needed. One day, the Daniels will see the source of their gifts and wisdom as being the same as the source of their pain and they will understand their healing liquor has no end.
