Vergil's heart game r2

You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.


O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.

My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?


You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

[ He's trying to keep his shit together but the touch is welcomed - a little bit of comfort after the experience. ]

The grass was lavender, the flowers themselves were red. They grew as I was killed.

[He sighs and kisses his head, pulling him into a tight embrace.]

Be not so reckless.

[ this time he pulls away, sighing after ]

I can't afford to break down until we're done with this, so. Hugs will have to wait after.

As for my recklessness, I'll try to be reasonable but this is him we're talking about. Obviously I'm willing to go a bit above and beyond.

Yes, I do understand. But because it is him, try not to die in his heart or soul or whatever over much.

[ oh. oh. he hadn't thought about that ]

... Do you think it could have an impact on him?

I do not know. His own death affects him little, but ours? I cannot say.

[ he hates this!!! but fine ]

I'll be more careful from now on.

Thank you Five. Naturally I want it not just for Vergil's sake.

[ that makes him smile ]

I know, but admittedly for Vergil's sake is quite the convincing argument.

I thought it might be. Do what you feel is necessary of course, simply be cautious.

I'll be back here if I end up getting stuck, and wait for you.

See you later, Lahabrea.

Very well. If you retrieve part of his soul I shall be able to find you as well.

See you later, Five.
