idolpro | Vergil's heart game r4

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.

Unless you're Glory, in which case the rest is the same, but you wake in a library.

[he traverses the rubble with relative ease, a pang in his chest at all the destroyed books.

He catches sight of the kid, but hesitates to approach.

He walks toward the door South instead, footsteps purposely loud.]

This child looks to be about 10, and doesn't actually seem out of place, he certainly looks like he's been living in this world for a while. Though he's covered in dried blood and there are tears in his clothes, he doesn't appear to have a single mark on his own flesh. There's a certain wild sort of look to him, and yet, his posture is perfect, his hair smoothed back without a strand out of place... It's an odd juxtaposition.

He seems to watch you from the corner of his eye, but when it's clear where you're going, he calls out. "I wouldn't do that. Not yet anyway."

[He's not sure why, but hearing the boy speak surprises him more than it probably should]

Why not?

[he stops walking toward the door, though]

Do Vergils speak? "...That's the throne room, it'll be dangerous. You should find the Fallen Ones."

And the Fallen Ones aren't?

[wow those also sound dangerous]

"Everything's dangerous in Hell. But no they can't really do anything, so they're way safer than that. You don't have to go there, but if you're going to go in the throne room...you want a weapon."

Point. And I do like weapons.

[gestures to the tunnel North]

How about I head that way.

You comin' with?

He nods. "That's fine, you could go there, that's probably how you'll get to them really. ...Do you want me to come with you?"

[shrugs] Wouldn't have asked if I didn't.

It's cool if you wanna stay. Libraries are always my top choice... although this one needs a bit of cleanup.

"If you tried cleaning this one up, demons would just come through and tear it up anyway. ...Anyway I don't think it's a good idea. Just go do what you want to do. You can use the veins to go other places though, if you didn't notice."

Ugh. Annoying... [but the books :( ]

I didn't notice actually, thanks for the heads up. Catch ya later.

[and with a short wave off he goes, to the North]

Catch ya later sword friend
