Vergil's heart game r3

[idolpro]

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.

You have a sense of where some things are. Vergil, or a part of him, is in the room to the south, along with several small pieces. There are more in that direction too, in two diverging directions from there. There's something east of here, and it's...odd, is it Vergil? It feels slightly different, but it's the strongest sense to you. Somewhere above you is definitely Yamato, but it's hard to tell where.

The south most parts have a horrible, anguished call unlike the rest though. All the others beckon with indistinct whispers, but these are more like a warning.

You can also feel Urizen somewhere, indistinct. Well, around the core, the true heart, but in contention with another true heart.
