Nero's Chronicles

The Story of Nero's Secret Past

Chapter One:

After the Demon attack on Fortuna, the current capital of The Order or the Sword, Nero, an orphan adopted by the order, has decided that he wants to find out who truly is. His life changing encounter with Dante Sparta probably has something to do with all this . Tell me what you think of the story!

It was a beautiful spring day. Birds native only to Fortuna were just arriving to greet the residence of the city. They were a welcome sight after such a long, trialing winter. Their arrival here signaled the beguiling of spring. Most of town's residences were outside, feeding the birds. If this kept up, the birds would be so fat that they won't be able to take to the skies ever again. But birds weren't the only things returning now. The native flowers were blooming and the waterfalls that surrounded the town. It was all purely breathtaking. Many people here were wondering the same thing: why couldn't it always be so warm and beautiful?

But Nero wasn't interested in the weather. He had tom stuff to take care of today. Ever since the day he had met Dante Sparda he had this dying urge to know who his true family was. He always had, but now he really just had to know. What high ups in the Order that were left all knew and gave him a warm smile whenever they walked past. That was enough for him to know that his true family had to have some good in them. And, that alone, was enough for him to want to find them. But, considering the amazing powers that converged within him, that also meant that he had to have a demon somewhere within his original family tree. He didn't really like that idea. I mean, is someone who is sworn to kill all demons supposed to like being related to them? I am not sure, but my guess is no.

As Nero looked out the window of his bedroom, he couldn't hope but worry what if I don't get back here for a long time? What about Kyrie? What if something happens and I am not here to help protect her? What if the town gets attacked again now that the snow has cleared and the path through the mountains is accessible again? What will I miss when I am gone? Nero had so very many "What ifs" on his mind. But he had made his decision to leave Fortuna and worrying about it wasn't going to make anything any better.

But he needed to get going now. It was already 10:45am, after all and he had a long walk ahead of him. He picked up his travel bag and put on his sword Red Queen and put his revolver Blue Rose in its proper place on his hip holster. He had no need to carry Yamato. It absorbed into his glowing right arm whenever he wasn't in need of it. He hung his headphones around his neck. As he turned to leave, Kyrie walked into the room.

"Nero…your really leaving, hu?"

"Sorry, Kyrie but I have to. I have to know where I am from."

"Ok. Good luck, Nero."

"Thank you, Kyrie."

Kyrie turned and walked to the bedroom door. Then she turned and looked back at Nero. She ran back over to him and grabbed him in a tight hug. Nero smiled and hugged her back.

"Please be careful, Nero! I know I shouldn't worry about you so much, but I do. Just be careful, ok? For me?"

"I will, Kyrie, don't worry. I will be back before you know it."

Outside of the city, after crossing the mechanical bridge…

Nero walked through the forest toward the next town. It was a long walk around the mountains but it was still better than trying to climb over the mountains. As he came around the corner, he saw a figure approaching him. From here, he was sure that it was Dante. What on earth was he doing back here? But there was something…different around this guy. He looked like Dante but he had spiked hair and was wearing a long blue trench coat with golden demonic writing on the outside rim. He was wearing golden knee high boots and his pants and shirt were black. Dante had mentioned that the Yamato had originally belonged to his twin brother. Could this be him? If so, should he run and hide; should he just keep walking and pass him?

"Are you Nero…If so, we have something to discuss."

Darn it! Why did options in dangerous situations even exist if he never even got to finish considering them before someone decided for him?

"Yea, I'm Nero. Why do you want to know?

"My name is Vergil. I'm Dante's older identical twin brother. We need to have a long talk, child."

Yup, he was Dante's twin brother…but why did everyone have to call him "Kid"? Couldn't they just call Nero or something like it? I mean, really! Being called a kid when you're almost 20 years old is really annoying to the point where it was almost insulting.

"Do you have somewhere we can talk, Vergil, was it?"

"Yes and yes. Come with me. I am sure we both have other things to do after this is done."

"Ok, let's go then."

The second Nero walked past Vergil, he was thrown to the ground. Vergil loomed over him with his foot on his neak. Nero was trapped. What was he going to do?

"I'm here for Yamato."
