Disclaimer: DMC could have be mine but I turned down the offer feeling Capcom should continue their great efforts. So I may not own DMC but all the characters I clearly made up are mine. And if you like them you should ask to borrow them. (Please and thank you.)
This is my second canon-based fic for DMC and presumably takes place like a hundred years after DMC 2 (Dante having returned after fully destroying Argosax).
Prologue
Sometime after the death of Lady (Mary), Dante's demonic power became far greater than anyone's expectations, including his own. But upon meeting a half-demon sorceress named Laura, Dante's power once again became balanced with his humanity having fallen in love.
Fearing his power would once again take him over Dante sealed away his demonic power, like his father before him, within five fragments of an interlocking locket. He then hid his demonic power across the world, so it would not fall into the wrong hands.
Living his life through as seemingly normal humans Dante & Laura had a child, a son, they would name Caleb. Being a half-demon like his father Caleb grew under the intentions to protect mankind from demons. And on his sixteenth birthday Caleb received keepsakes of his father's, the cutlass Serine and katana Impulse, to follow in his footsteps and become a devil hunter.
However, Caleb's dreams of succession would not be as pleasant as he thought for soon after his demonic powers awoke Laura was murdered in Dante's absence. Unable to stop the fiend responsible Caleb has made it his quest to seek vengeance. But the shadows shrouding these events will put truth to the belief that devils cry the darkest tears…
Can you figure out the shadows? If not keep reading (& reviewing) to unveil the mystery…
