VIRGIL
of saints and sinners, 
& monsters and men.



guardai in alto e vidi le sue spalle
vestite già de’ raggi del pianeta
che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle.


Virgil's last thoughts were of Ava. He thought of the days when she was very young and his time spent with her was a series of attempts to keep her within his sights. She was playful, elusive and mischievous. She had been a beautiful filly and had grown into a child who had captured his heart with her every shining movement. He had adored her, and then come to love her. 

The world they had come from seemed so far away. He remembered the storm and the way that Ava had slipped past him, out onto the angry and tumultuous sea. He could see the island, and could almost taste the fear he had felt, thinking that she had drowned in the sea. He had followed her into the portal that had led them here, and had lost her soon after. Virgil had spent the entirety of his life guarding the girl with the rainbow palette, and yet he'd lost her here in this land of purgatory. Perhaps she'd not come through at all. Perhaps she really had died that day, he couldn't be sure. He wasn't sure of anything now, and not just because he was seconds away from death. 

The thought that perhaps Ava had died made the embrace of death all the more appealing. Although it was Hubris' hand on his shoulder, it felt like Ava's. She was there waiting for him. Calling to him. 

Allor fu la paura un poco queta,
che nel lago del cor m’era durata
la notte ch’i’ passai con tanta pieta.



"Ava-" He managed, rally all the remaining strength left in his body to say her name one last time. 


A le quai poi se tu vorrai salire,
anima fia a ciò più di me degna:
con lei ti lascerò nel mio partire;


Hubris' blast immediately and entirely overloaded his brain functions. In seconds, the watery images and memories of Ava disappeared into nothingness. The ghostly swirls of magic that had followed Virgil around since he had entered Helovia suddenly ceased, and the ghostly apparition holding the sword disappeared now that it was no longer tethered to a soul, the Tiger God's bone collapsing uselessly onto the ground. 


salimmo sù, el primo e io secondo, 
tanto ch'i' vidi de le cose belle 
che porta 'l ciel, per un pertugio tondo. 

E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.
