Now, Dante has seen some pretty odd things. He thought NOTHING could surprise him. Even Patty, who had only been at DMC for awhile, had seen some pretty interesting things. This last one was something new though.
*FlashBack: 5 minutes*
Both Dante and Patty blinked. They were both sure they were just hearing things. A wolf, unless a demon one, couldn't talk. Much less through your head. Yes, I am a wolf and yes, I'm mind speaking. The heck is mind speaking? Dante thought. The wolf sighed, inward and outwardly. I cannot explain it at the moment, my lady has a message for you, son of Sparda. Before Dante could ask who the message was from the wolf walked up to his desk and placed a ring on it. It was silver, and was of a Celtic design. The fact that the ring was over 1000 years old was not what surprised Dante. It was the fact that it was one of his fathers. "Where did you get this?" My lady gave it to me, she said it would help convince you to take the mission. Dante was now standing, holding the ring and looking it over. On the inside, in red letters, was the engraving Sparda. "Well." Dante looked over his desk, the black wolf starring at him with what looked like a smile of his face. "So do I get to meet this lady of yours?" The wolf nodded. Today, at 7 near the bar. And without any last words, the wolf just vanished. Not like 'pouf' gone but it was like he was never there. "Well." Said Patty putting her hands on her hips and looking at the clock on the wall. "You'd better get ready."
That's the ring.
