After slaughtering all the demons in the nearby demon nest, Vergil swung his sword once shaking off the blood of the demons he had killed. Who would have thought that he’d stumble upon a demon nest just by chance? It was annoying, but it did give him a sure fire way to kill a few minutes of this long boring day he was having so it wasn’t all that bad. For the entire duration of the slaughtering, he did feel a very different aura behind him. Someone had been watching the entire thing from start to finish. This person didn’t seem to be a threat to him, but he was curious as to why this individual was just watching him from the shadows for a bit.

This person wasn’t a demon either, he picked up nothing that was remnant of a demonic aura who just who was this? With his sword clean, he sheathed the blade with a click then turned around to face the direction of the aura he was picking up. Was this person that curious? It didn’t matter either way since there was no hostile feeling coming from them.

All kinds of creatures appeared when nighttime fell. Monsters, demons, shades; they thrived once the sun went down. But not everyone enjoyed the night. Dark was one of those who was absolutely terrified of the darkness nighttime brought. But at the same time, he also sought its protection. It was an odd contradiction he didn’t really understand himself.

As he heard monsters howling in the distance, the shade pressed his back further against the tree he was sitting under. If he could merge with it, he had done so in an instant. 

Nervously his red eyes looked around for any sign of hostility. Though... even if he was confronted with someone who wanted to hurt him, he wasn’t going to flee. The other shades taught him it wasn’t a good thing to flee, that he would get hurt even more once he’d tried to. So the weaker one would stubbornly stay put and hope whoever wanted to hurt him would get bored soon.

“Y-You fell on a piece of glass and it’s no big deal...?!” There was being insanely lucky and then there was just being plain ridiculous.  How could someone fall on a piece of glass and be completely fine...? He could even see the blood running down her arm! Taking a deep breath, he attempted to calm himself before speaking again.
