Vergil's heart game r3

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.

If there is... nowhere else for you to remain... then, in our memories we will cherish you.

Ah. Well it's back to hugging, then. In fact, she takes your arm to lead you over to the grass, insist you lay your head in her lap. It's time to cuddle a mom now.

[he goes easily, and doesn't protest at all. this soothing feeling... is unlike anything else he's felt. he closes his eyes with his head in her lap, relaxed]

She strokes your hair with one hand, the other holding around your shoulders. This could go on for a long time, she'll gladly continue for hours, even until the heart fades away.
