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.

Sorry, it's much more solid. You can drain some of its power...but this thing seems to regain it instantly. But if interacting with it this way tells you anything, fear is its source of power, and people have an endless amount to keep it going strong, after all.

[Ah. Interesting. He never did figure out how to conquer fear... And perhaps leaving that just here in the open is a bad idea.

But if he cannot destroy it, clean it, or defeat it, then he will weave a ward around it, wide enough to keep others from wandering close. A barrier to anyone walking into the thing at least. Maybe he can come back and puzzle over it when he's done looking elsewhere.]

What a good guy. You're successful in that, no one's going to be dragged in without pretty much throwing themselves into it now. At least not in this session!

[Well can't prevent future sessions from having a good time! But he will in fact return to the library now.]
