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.

Sure it is. Don't question Black's deep philosophical insights.

"Hmm. I think not, actually. Supposedly I am here for your sake."

"Well you're sure not getting anything done. Get a better strategy. Do you need me to hold your hand and tell you what to do?"

His smile twitches a little. Brat.

"Seeing as this is all for your benefit, it would in fact be generous of you."

Fine, change of strategy. What if he clamps his big hand down hard over the brat's neck? Better?

Not better! He glares at you for a single second, and then he transforms. Slightly more juvenile, but he's still a good six feet tall like this, and his clawed hand curls around your neck in return.

The sound of his voice is a little strange, like he's echoing inside the creature. "That's not how you ask for help, Black."

Well, kind of better! Monsters are easier than children. Black laughs, as well as he can with the pressure on his windpipe.

"Admittedly it was somewhat on the heavy-handed side... But neither is this a way to be helped... is it?"

"I don't need your help. I never asked for it. Go play in the field or something."
