"Stay away from me you DEVIL!" her son said to her. He was harsh and cruel, and he spat those words out, like battery acid on her devils skin.
She was held in suspended animation. It was like the knife had pierced her soul.
No! My son! NO!
She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe how she had behaved; a wanton woman with the design to murder her own son. She couldn't believe she slept with her husband's greatest enemy and that she had helped bring ruination to her first born.
She was an unfit mother.
He had spoken to her through out the battles he had undergone, when she had appeared next to him after the defeat of Griffon.
He had told her about Sparda. How Sparda was a good man, fighting for the cause, fighting for humanity. Fighting for her.
And what had she done in payment?
But in her defense, she was innocent to all this. Was she not?
She did not know under the guise of her dark soul, under Mundus's demanding ministrations that she was a good mother once. That she had paid for the price of her soul to save her only son.
She thought her first born was dead. Taken away from her, ripped right out of the bosom of her love to only hold fast to her first priority: Dante!
She tried so hard to hold fast to him, to protect him from all evil. She could not stop the tears from flowing because the sky had melted.
They revealed everything to her and Mundus tricked her.
Used her up until she was no longer the woman she was. All she was left was the dark vessel in a naughty suit that cried bad ass woman. And she was. She was the bad ass woman that people thought she was. One look at her and all the men went running away. Or towards her. Whichever had less fear.
Now as she stood there watching her son leave, telling her that she was a devil! A woman with NO fire, a woman with nothing but darkness and evilness, she cried inside.
She was still afraid. So afraid.
When the light entered her soul, when Dante told her about Sparda, that was when she felt small inklings of something foreign. Something old and timeless. Something ancient: Love.
"Sparda was a good man, who fought against Mundus. He fought for his family and loved his wife."
Loved his wife.
Was Sparda ever married? She didn't think he would be the marrying type, but Mundus had been training her mind that Sparda was nothing but a nuisance and was done away. Now she had to do away with Sparda's offsrings.
Hers!
As she had watched Dante walk into the white sparkling cathedral, she watched how Dante challenged Mundus.
Watched how Dante had turned around and saw her. He had gasped and even after she had stabbed him in the back, betrayed her only son to the devil, Dante was still forgiving.
Why?
Why did you forgive me, my son? I am not worthy!
Because darkness eats your soul alive, takes it and never more shows the light, Eva had been transformed and given the gift of immortality. In this case, it is a curse.
She heard her son: Why my mother?
It was a desperate but harsh plea to the Prince of the Underworld.
Mundus had laughed because he found all humans disgusting and cockroaches to the world.
Why indeed? Because she was nothing!
She did the only thing that would redeem herself in her son's eyes.
Sacrifice her life……again.
Little did she know, that her amulet, and her son's love would save her.
Just as she had saved her son.
Her first born was lost...lost to evil, and she was lost to evil...
now, now that the other son had saved her, she could live again.
"The sky so clear! So blue!" Her heart was pounding. Her hand clasped over her amulet, now returned to her. It was hers. It would keep her soul to normalcy. To the woman she is now. She now possessed her husband's sword, and use it she will. She would make her deceased husband proud.
"I feel as if my heart is free..."
Her son told her that the Underworld's evil is still living. Still there.
She knew that by her son's side, she will fight with him, and be worthy of the mother she wasn't for so long.
He had forgiven her, even with all her sins. She would have cried for tears of great joy, but she was awed by the world. She had become the newborn into the world from darkness.
"That's okay because the Legendary Dante has his sidekick!" She had smiled at him. Her mother's love. He was very happy to have his mother back and he flew the plane into the horizon, back to Devil May Cry.
It's good to be home.
