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.

The field doesn't want to allow that. The grass has already woven itself around your arms and legs to strap them down. Some of it pierces your flesh, as the bit creeping up your shoulder has done, working its way deep within. The ground around you is soaked with blood, and the flowers - they are much larger than they were before.

You could choose to just give up, but you could persevere for days now so, you probably want to do that huh, what's a single point when you've read every book.

[Something doesn't want him to continue and this heart is HIS so how dare anything stop him honestly?

Yes he's trying to struggle not to get killed at the very least. And keep going if possible.]

You manage to escape its grasp, though it still reaches out after you until you're well out of its reach. Somehow it hasn't been made aware that you're allowed to do anything you want here.

But you can probably manage to grab the painting on your way, large enough it's nearly life-sized, almost as wide as your arm span.

[You're cuter when not trying to eat anyone hell garden.

THIS certainly doesn't go here though. And he will grab hold of it as he tries to teleport to the cave and check out the hell gate. He'd stay with the flowers to investigate more but maybe... not.]

You can teleport just fine, and really there's nothing else here but the rock and flowers, now looking luscious from all the blood they've had today. But way less cute than the garden you gave, it's clearly superior.

And you can totally carry the painting around just fine, it's video game logic. It's just in your pocket now, don't worry about it.

[Works for him, just condense it to aether, carry it in his consciousness and summon at will. Isn't that how everyone does it?

Back to hellgate.]
