No sooner had his eyes snapped open Dia found herself slammed and pinned against the nearest wall, that large hand she had been admiring was now firmly wrapped around her throat. Knowing he reacted out of startled instinct she suppressed her own combative urges trying not to gasp for breath. Soon his burst of energy failed him as he came to his sense releasing her as he slumped to the floor. Rather than helping and risking a repeat Dia watched as the icy half-devil picked himself up and staggered back over to collapse onto the bed. Though he had recovered his power it seemed his body would take some time to catch, though not as long as initially considered she thought rubbing the tender column of her neck as golden orbs watched him warily. He spoke, his voice husky from disuse as he apologized for his actions which she only nodded in acceptance as she pulled up a chair and leaned back into it, crossing her legs at the knees.<br/><br/>He paid only a moment’s notice to the changes of his physical appearance before on with his inquires.<strong>“You were badly injured so I brought you here, yes. You have been unconscious for approximately twelve earth years.”</strong>She said.<strong>“Most of what I know comes from other’s accounting of the events and my own investigation after leading up to my finding you,”</strong>she warned making herself comfortable for lengthy explanation this would require.<br/><br/><strong>“You may address me as Dia. And you are in what we call the Nyxvale; or if you want to go by the older names; purgatory or limbo works just as well. This dimension is a devil’s paradise for lack of a better term. Here we have a healthy mix of devils, demons, monsters and humans that all fall into the morale gray area. Nyxvale is also literally the crossroads that connects the three major planes of heaven, earth and hell and all it various level and dimensional offshoots. This dimension is ruled by the Succubae Queen Lilith and her Consort. But I’ll get into more of that at a later time.”</strong><br/><br/>She paused at his mentioning of the debt. Her lips pursed in thought, It was a thing of honor amongst devils if one saves the life of another incurring a debt from the indebted that could be claimed from the savior at any point and could be anything they imagine and could not be refused, which is why many devils go out of their way to prevent something like from happening<strong>“We can discuss that after I’ve have caught you up to your current situation.”</strong>She remarked waving her hand in a dismissive gesture.<br/><br/><strong> “In your confrontation with that pretentious demon calling himself a god you somehow opened a portal that brought you here to Nyxvale. I’m sure you can remember what happened upon your arrival.” </strong><br/><br/><strong>“The first thing you need to know is that Mundus is dead. Slain at the hands of your brother, Dante.”</strong>She said, her eyes falling to half mast as she watched for any reaction her words on Vergil.<strong>“Dante was led to Mallet by an underling of Mundus for the express purpose of wiping out who he believed to be the last of Sparda’s line. Needless to say it didn’t go how he planned from what I heard. Seems Mundus had done something that had well and truly incited your brother’s rage by going and creating himself a corrupted replica of you in I what I presume is your devil form called Nelo Angelo. Mundus used Nelo Angelo to attack your twin several times to throughout his sojourn in Mallet Castle. During his last confrontation with your copy, Nelo Angelo failed to defeat Dante and was therefore destroyed by Mundus in front of your brother.” </strong><br/><br/>She uncrossed her leg and recrossed them against in the opposite direction, clasping her with her interlaced fingers.<strong>“Strangely enough Dante found an ally in the underling Mundus had sent. Dante had saved them a few times, showing them they didn’t need Mundus to survive and with their help delivered what I believe my informant called ‘the mother of all epic smack downs.’”</strong>
