Prologue
IN THE BEGINNING...
There was once a time where angels and heaven ruled our earth and the skies, and demons and hell ruled our fire and the Underworld. It was a forbidden law to have an intimate relationship with a demon and an angel. If so, there would be crucial consequences for those who disobeyed. Of course, all the angels and all the demons hated each other. They hated each other so much, that the demons and angels would go all the way to murdering the other's God, or Lord.
It was just in nature, and how the angels and demons were created; they were created to kill the evil and to kill the good. That's how it always was, and how it always will be, but the story of The Dark Knight and Eva shocked many into believing if it can really happen; if love between a demon and an angel is really possible. It's a long story, but I will tell you the short version because there is another I will be telling you, but that's later. I shall now tell you about The Dark Knight, Sparda, and his angel, Eva.
Sparda was the son of Demus, Lucifer's best warrior and captain in charge of the demon army. Demus also had another son named, Mundus. Sparda and Mundus were blood brothers both born with the flowing demon blood of Demus. Mundus, in his human form, was an average height man with hair as white as the clouds and vicious eyes the color of frost. Besides his good looks, he had a sardonic demeanor and the darkness loved it when he was atrocious towards those who were good.
Sparda, however, was completely different from his brother. He saw what Lucifer and the demons were doing to Earth, and felt pity and grief for the humans who had to pay. He looked like Mundus in his human form, but was more handsome and more powerful than his brother. Sparda had the same hair color as Mundus', but it was the color of the frosty snow that shined with light. His eyes, however, were the color of the blue sky up in the Heavens.
Sparda had something that Mundus didn't have though; a soul. Once Sparda and Mundus left Demus, Mundus went on his own to explore the Earth, but Sparda stayed behind. You're probably thinking he was an idiot for staying behind, yet he did something no one, not even a demon nor an angel, could ever do to their kin; he waged war on the demons. Sparda saw the chaos and anarchy that perished above him. He felt he had to do something. He needed to do something to protect the humans, so he tricked his father into thinking he was going to wage war against the humans.
He actually, though was siding with the humans; a consequential law. The humans were afraid of Sparda, but one woman told the others not to not be afraid, that they will be alright. Her name was Eva. Eva was an angel sent down to Earth to take care of the humans, and to protect them. She was such a sight with chocolate hair and emerald eyes. Sparda fell head over heels when he saw her.
Eva, however didn't feel the same way. She knew Sparda was a strong demon and didn't dare go near him. Sparda helped the humans prepare for war and trained them day and night. Eva took care of them and made sure they weren't injured. One of Demus' demons was patrolling one night near the town where the humans lived and saw Eva collecting water from the well.
He was a male demon of course and everyone knows what a male demon would do to a helpless young woman; he "tried" to rape her. Did you see how I said "tried"? Yes, he tried to rape her, however Sparda always looked after Eva and immediately saw his father's demon. Eva screamed, clawed, and pushed but the demon wouldn't let her go. Sparda came running toward the demon and injected his hand through where his heart should've been, and the demon came burning into a million flames.
Eva doubted Sparda. She never would've thought he would come to her rescue; he was a demon, of course! Yet, Eva felt something that she knew would cost her life and her soul; she was in love with a demon. Eva kissed Sparda that night, both knowing the crucial consequences that lay ahead of them. The epic battle finally came and Sparda and the humans attacked the demons, but Sparda didn't go after the demons; he went after his father, Demus. Once Sparda killed his father, and the battle was over and the humans won, all the kingdoms below and above heard of what The Dark Knight did to his own kin.
What angered the heavens and the Underworld, though was that Sparda and Eva eloped and created a life they never knew they could have. They lived in a place called Paradise, where their massive mansion was located. They were happy and in love. Eva became pregnant with Sparda's children and had twin boys. Their names were Dante and Vergil.
Here is where it gets interesting though. Many believe that Sparda and Eva only had twin boys, however one year after the birth of Dante and Vergil, Eva gave birth to a baby girl. Her name was Beatrice. Dante and Vergil loved their baby sister very much and protected her all the time. All of their children had demon blood and angelic blood flowing through them which made them very powerful.
They were all half demon and half angel, which made them a hybrid. The real term, though was Nephilim. The only race that can kill a demon king and bring peace on Earth. Sparda and Eva knew of this and the dangers that would come to their children, but they continued to live with their peaceful lives. Sparda and Eva were especially thankful to have Beatrice because that meant that their bloodline will continue, which meant once Beatrice matured, she would have to marry one of her brothers and produce a child.
"One day, we're going to be married and be with each other forever." Dante, at age ten, said to Beatrice, who was at age nine, one night lying down on her bed next to her on her right.
"No way!" objected Vergil, also at age ten, who was lying down next to his sister on the left of her bed. "You and I, little sister, are going to be the ones who will be together forever."
You may think that's disgusting, but it was part of an angelic and demonic traditon because that meant that their legacy would continue and their blood will be passed down. When Dante and Vergil turned four, Eva gave them each an amulet, which neither of them knew what kind of power it held. Dante was given a ruby amulet and Vergil was given a sapphire amulet, but Beatrice was given something else. Eva and Sparda gave her a locket and was told that when she might miss them or when she might lose them, that to show the thing she loves the most in her heart and she'll see them once again. Beatrice, as well didn't know what kind of power lay beneath her locket.
They all carried their necklaces wherever they went. Sparda and Eva were happy to see their children in love. They were all happy to be a family. They were all so happy, until Sparda's brother, Mundus, finally caught up to them. Mundus sent demons to raid Paradise and murder everyone who was inside; even his own brother.
Mundus knew of Sparda's betrayal toward his kin and wanted nothing more than to see his head on a stick. Sparda and Eva knew they were coming, and when Mundus' army reached Paradise, Mundus came along with them as well. Eva tried to warn Sparda that they were here and tried to hide her children, but Mundus found her and ripped her angelic heart out of her chest like nothing. Dante watched as his demon uncle ripped his mother's heart out of her chest. He tried to struggle free out of the demons' grasp that was holding him down, but he was now eleven and still had the strength of a little boy.
After Dante saw what Mundus did to his mother, he swore on his mother's death that he would find and kill him once and for all. Sparda grieved over his beloved wife and knew what he had to do for the sake of his children. He sent Dante and Vergil to separate orphanages, where the twin brothers would never see each other again, and erased all of their memories to protect them. Beatrice, however, was sent to a family which he made sure was safe and made her live a normal human life. She too, was erased clean of her memories and the life she had with her real family. Sparda said his goodbyes, and Mundus found him.
He was banished in Hell for life and never able to come back out. This is where the story stops and how a new story begins. I never knew I had the knowledge to know all of this. I came to know what was what and where I belonged. This is how I met the sons of Sparda and how I began to fall in love with them.
This is how I knew where my heart and soul belonged. This is how an old life for me began, and how a new life for me ended...
