The Eulogy of Dante – Part III

Eva(thoughts before death):

He was often bashful, letting Vergil take the lead in their many exploits. Always a handful, he knew exactly what it took to get a job done. His sense of justice was admirable. He truly made a mother proud even though he constantly wanted to get into mischief. I would have given anything to protect him and Vergil. And I did…

Sparda (aka The Legendary Dark Knight):

My son, he's…

Vergil (aka Dante's Brother):

Dante…brother… You were never one to stand down, even when I was your opposition. You didn't fight with fear in your heart. Nor did you fight with hate. Instead you fought with understanding, reason and compassion. Her death is what separated us. For that I'm so…

Sparda continued…

Everything I wish I could have been. He tried to protect his family from evil when I wasn't able to. I shouldn't have placed such a burden on your shoulders. It was unfair. But regardless, you gained what no other was able to find. A balance…

Eva(thoughts after death) continued…

I'm amazed at the way he's handled himself. Dealing with the loss of his brother had to be difficult but he's no longer unbound to his heritage. He's learned to trust humanity again and even learned to understand demons. If Sparda was in his life things may have turned out different. Though, who knows for sure? We can only hope that Dante has a greater purpose…

Sparda continued…

To say that you're the heir to power is an understatement. You made your own destiny and so redefined what it meant to be a Sparda…

Vergil (aka Nelo Angelo):

What I wanted so dearly I gained just as depressingly. To come into the power that rivaled our father, I took the mantle my father left vacant. But that's not all I wanted. I needed to see her face again. I needed to see the face of that woman who foolishly gave her life for us. I felt that allowing Mundus' dark sorcery to embody my soul would hide my emotions. But fighting you, that made me realize how important my humanity was… how it still is…

Sparda continued…

What father out lives his child? Now the mortal I fell in love with and the children we had together are gone. I could have been there for them but I wasn't. Son, please forgive me…

Eva continued…

My fondest memories of you and your brother is when you would play with your father's pistols…

Sparda continued…

You would grab hold of Luce and Vergil quickly obtained Ombra…

Eva continued…

Your father would hold me in his arms while he shouted directions to you. Only children, you'd rather just have fun then hone your skills…

Sparda continued…

Your mother would lie in my arms laughing as you two ran innocently around playing gun tag. Luckily, the firearms where set to stun even though they still managed to knock you down. Yet like a true warrior, a true Sparda, you quickly got right back on your feet…

Eva continued…

We were happy then. I was happy. You, Vergil and your father were safe…

Sparda continued…

However, those peaceful times couldn't last forever…

Eva & Sparda continued…

Tell me if you heard this one… A demon walks into a shop claiming he's going conquer the earth. The man he's talking to is curious so he asks how… The demon replies, "I'm going to kill the son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda." The man simply laughs… "And how do you expect to kill this man. If his father was legendary, what makes his son any less?" The demon can't help but brag… "I know what he looks like; platinum white hair, serine blue iced eyes and a sword. A sword as long as his body with demon's hilt…" The man turns around, revealing himself to the demon; having the platinum white hair and serine iced blue eyes the demon spoke of. The demon was startled but the man let t be known that he wanted to help… He asked the demon if he knew how to find the son of this legendary knight. He said, "No, do you?"

Vergil (aka The Dark Slayer):

Suddenly, the man unsheathed a large sword as long as his body with a demon's head on its hilt. With the tip of the blade directed at the demon's head, the man only had one thing left to say…

Eva, Sparda & Vergil continued…

JACKPOT!
