Vergil's heart game r5

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.

Um - well . . .

[ approaching, but a little more carefully despite herself ]

More than liking or disliking it, it's something that I do - I'm a witch ...

[ and, scanning the page, ]

Is that the sort of thing that you're interested in...?

"I think it's really interesting. And if I'm going to be stronger than my father, then it's important to learn, too. Mostly I just like learning, though, really." Look at him, he seems so happy now?

[ that's. good.

really, that's the important part. listening to him, she actually seems to relax a bit. ]

Is that so...? Then what have you learned so far...?

"Well, a lot? I'm pretty sure there's no one else who knows more about demons or demonic magic than me now. - The real me you know, I mean."

Do you want to talk about it...? With -

[ not the gibbeting. ]

That forgery method, there... It still seems easy, but in comparison to the others it would be a little more difficult, wouldn't it...?

"Hm, I think the torture method is easiest, but it sounds unreliable. Plus it would take a long time too. The spell also doesn't work that well, since the soul has to be strong enough to handle it. Forging it with a Devil Arm probably stabilises it though, so it takes the other problems out. But that's not really something just anyone can do like the others. You would have to be powerful to manage it."
