This takes place around 19 years prior to the events that occur in Devil May Cry 4. I know it doesn't fit the DMC4 timeline or even what people speculate about the events that lead to DMC4, but it's a crossover and plot-changes are allowed in fanfictions for the sake of the story's plot.
Ferrum Hills, at 6pm
Old rickety-looking buildings sit abandoned in a clearing below a cliff. The entrance to some sort of mine can be seen up at the top of the cliff. This small village has been uninhabited for years, the mines abandoned after a few caves collapsed. Silence reigns in this place, the only living thing being a man walking between the buildings, as though searching for something… Out of nowhere, a strange tear in the fabric of space and time forms in the side of a cliff and a man, looking to be in his 30's, falls through the tear, landing on the ground face-down…

Castle Town of Fortuna, at 11pm
Though the sun had set long ago, not everyone in the town had turned in for the night. A man was walking through the darkened streets, seeking out a family who would be willing to help with something he had no experience with. He shifted a bundle of black cloth into his left arm as he stopped at the door of one house that had the lights still on. He knocked on the door once, then stepped back to wait. After a few minutes, the door opened and a lady with brown hair stepped into the doorway. The two exchanged words, after which the man passed the bundle to the owner of the house, walking away without another word. The lady closed the door, then looked at the baby wrapped in the cloth. She took the white hair as a sign that her family was in Sparda's favor. . . .
I know this was short, but there was no reason to go into detail for this one page. The first chapter will begin where the One-Shot story left off.
