abusethat was rly good, especially the last bit

"Now it was complete and it burned brighter than any star. It now belonged to the only son who was worthy to save the world. His mother was an angel; his brother followed in her footsteps - honed with the power of their father's curse.

Nelo would not cry.

He couldn't, because only Angels weep."

Luvt it! gd luck x

abuseQuality over quanity! Yay!
And drama. Poor Vergil...
Eva as an angel was a really original idea.

abuseKnowing very little about the DMC universe, it speaks highly of the caliber of writing that allows one to instantly become immersed in the world and to really care about the characters. This is a powerful piece that transcends the stock good vs. evil trope and it also makes me as a reader want to know more about Dante, Trish, Vergil (Nelo Angelo) and Mundus. The battle scene was especially compelling without unnecessary blood, guts and gore.

abuseThis is good work! I like your poetic descriptions and wonderful analysis of the Vergil intro and into the game verse. Lovely analogy and emphasis on word play.

abuseIt's nice. I like it. It's also nice that you can write in a few styles and this one is different and poetry in motion. but not too poetic I think. It was balanced well.

abuseHmm. I found this all a little confusing, and I had difficulty following it. That might be me though. The whole thing I felt didn’t flow very well. It’s like watching a video made up of clips rather than an entire film. Also, the ending seemed a bit odd. Only Angels weep? Is that a famous quote? I've never heard that one before, and I didn’t really get why it was here.

Overall, it’s just a matter of personal taste. I personally prefer clear, concise and smooth running stories rather than disjointed symbolism as this appear to be to me.

abuseWell written, even though its AU what with the whole Arkham timeline. Also, Vergil should know by now Dante isnt the kind to be seduced by any amount of power. When will he ever learn? I guess this is why he's always losing. Nice touch with Vergil losing his voice. The sudden ten-year time jump was a bit jarring though - one minute he's looking into a mirror, and then without so much as a dash-dash-dash break its ten years later and he's converted to the dark side just like 'that'.

abuseAh, Vergil the wonder years. Should make for an interesting perspective. One thing though, the Amulet wasnt Eva's originally, didnt it belong to the Demons who gave it to humanity as a gift? Actually I never understood that part, why would Demons give us the the keys to their house? Weird. Anyway, on to Chapter 2.

abuseI think this is how I really see Vergil. There are so many fics of him as a sappy sobbing devil breaking down for his brother. I find that a little hard to swallow but this is good. Very unique and something that is quite possibly how it really happened.

abuseAnother great chapter, I love the interpretation of it and the fact it's not just identical to the game, if I wanted that I'd go play the game again.

Excellent stuff. ^_^

abusehey I see that you inserted the somewhat mechanics of the gameplay here or inserted it in a very poetic and beautiflly descriptive feel. Angsty and well done, its a very good read and interpretation. great ideas.
