Author's Note: I don't own Devil May Cry or the characters. That is all Capcom. GirlDante/Delmira and Vergil. If not your thing, it's fine there's a back button. May be a bit ooc but its for fun only.

Prologue: Difficult Decision

The Legendary Dark Knight looked over his slumbering children and his wife. He was thrilled that his twins arrived safely into the world, but what he didn't expect: was a son and a daughter. He smiled when his newborn son was already protective of his sister, holding her hand and was sleeping close to her. When Sparda approached them he had to chuckle when his son actually kicked at him and scrunched up his little face.

"There now Vergil, it's just me your father. Well done in protecting your sister. She is the key to your heart and you are the key to hers. Forever joined you two will be." He lightly stroked his daughter's cheek. The little girl opened her eyes and cooed. This made Sparda smile and he felt his heart warm up.

"My sweet Delmira, protect and love your brother. Your fiery spirit and heart will thaw his wall of ice. You will set him free, only you will be the holder of his true power." He leaned down and kissed both their foreheads before settling down beside his wife. He knew that he had to protect his daughter. He already foresaw that his son would be able to conquer anything. A King of Ice….Sparda thought. He looked at his daughter. A Queen of Fire. But at this, Sparda sighed heavily. He knew that Mundus would try to get to him and his family. Especially Delmira….The Dark Knight clenched his fist. Mundus would take his daughter for himself! I won't allow that…They were just born, but I'll have to make a difficult decision. I hope one day, they will forgive me… Sparda bowed his head to hide his tears. He looked up when he heard his daughter's soft coos. Without missing a beat, Sparda picked her up gently, once he reassured his son that all was well, in which his son complied and moved a bit. Sparda couldn't help but chuckle again. Sparda held his daughter close, softly laughing as her little hands touched the amulet around his neck. "Yes my sweet noble protector, these are for you and your brother. You are two halves of each other and of my heart. You balance each other and one day, you will both see that with your own eyes." He hugged her close and rocked in the chair by the window, father and daughter sharing a moment under the moon and star filled sky. Until they heard a snort from the cradle. Sparda got up and went over to see his son was awake and he didn't look happy. He shifted his daughter to one arm then picked up his son with the other. The boy gurgled with approval and relaxed. Sparda heard soft laughter from the bed.

"It seems that Vergil has taken command early." Eva said with a soft laugh. Sparda chuckled and carefully handed the babies to her. Eva held them close and both babies fell asleep with their mother. What Eva said made Sparda think. His son did indeed show a commanding personality. This was another sign that Sparda had to think on. If guided the wrong way, Vergil could and would fall. Then it would fall to Delmira to stop him. Of course she wouldn't be able to stop him as a female

Sparda made his way to the library and hit the books, taking notes and looking them over. There was a way to protect his daughter and in a worse case scenario, for her to stop her brother if he went the wrong path. But there would only be one way to bring her back to her original form permanently: Vergil himself, once he was strong enough and of sound mind. He pulled out another certificate and set it aside his daughter's. He waved his hand over each one and on the second, Delmira's birthday appeared on the line. I'll need a name….He thought for a moment then noticed his copy of Dante's Inferno. That's it! He waved his hand again and the name Dante appeared on the second certificate. The original certificate read her full name Delmira Eva Sparda. With a nod, Sparda put the original certificates into an album, and returned to the table picking up the one for Dante and setting it next to a copy of Vergil's. There is much to be done and less time to do it in. I must hurry. He looked down at his children and sighed. To protect you both, this must be done. Delmira will have her true form when she and Vergil are of mating age. She will have his Heir then revert to her alter ego. Until it is safe again or on their 45th year, will Delmira's seal be broken. Please forgive me. Eva my love, I'm sorry. I can't allow Mundus or the Underworld to get our daughter. My son, when you are of sound mind and complete, you will remember everything. The Dark Knight slashed his palm and drew a sigil onto his daughter's forehead. My sweet noble protector, Queen of Fire, Heiress of my power, I sacrifice my title and with the power of a father's love and devotion, I place this seal to protect you. You will not remember until balance is here again. Your brother must be restored before you can finally be free. I love you both. The sigil shimmered and disappeared into her forehead and she changed, leaving a baby boy in her place. When it was complete, Sparda bowed his head and cried. One day, I hope you can forgive me….

I'll be speeding up the clock, we know the history of the twins. Delmira means noble protector.
