Prologue
''"Are you really leaving?" A seven year old Milagros whines as she sits next to a young teenager.''

''The young teenager smiles softly, if somewhat bitterly. "It's the way things are. I leave to learn things the demons can't teach me, and then I return."''

''Milagros pouts. "But Putri, what about me!"''

"I don't leave until tomorrow. The naming ceremony's tonight, we can hang out until then."

Milagros frowns, her gaze downcast as her shoulders shook.

''Putri kisses the top of the frantic girl's head. "Milagros, look at me."''

Milagros whines, but looks up.

''"This isn't like your mother. I'm not disappearing forever." Putri promises. "Just four years. And then I'll be home for good."''

Milagros whimpers as she nods, throwing her arms around her friend.

''"Why don't we go pick out my outfit for the naming ceremony tonight?" Putri asks softly, knowing loud noises could send Milagros back into a panic.''

''"Okay." Milagros sniffs. "That could be fun."''

They walk in silence, before the child ventures: "What's your second name?"

''Putri laughs. "You know it's bad luck to reveal it before the ceremony."''

Eleven year old Milagros felt her blood run cold. ''"Missing?" ''She gasped, staring at the Ever After Messenger sent to inform the Under World.

He nodded, looking nervous. "Peggy Sincere and Ethereal Angels disappeared the night of graduation. She went to the bathroom, he went to his dorm. No one has seen hide nor hair of them since. We'll keep looking for evidence, but so far we have no leads." He recited again.

Milagros broke down sobbing, dropping to her knees. She choked out one single sentence. "She broke her promise."
