Vergilia's Pov

It was a year after Dantine killed Argosax. I arrived home from another call. A large group of lesser demons had appeared.

Y/N: "What's wrong?"

Vergilia: "The number of demons appearing is continuing to increase. Something big is going to happen."

Y/N: "You think?"

Vergilia: "Yes." Nero came in. He'd clearly been eavesdropping.

Nero: "What do you mean, something big is happening?"

Vergilia: "Things are getting worse. I worry that more demons will continue to appear."

Nero: "Then we'll have to stop them."

Vergilia: "We cannot until we can hit what is causing it."

Nero: "Mundus?"

Vergilia: "It could be, or another demon could be rising to take his place."

Y/N: "How would that even be possible? Wasn't Mundus one of the most powerful demons to exist?"

Vergilia: "There are a few ways, but whatever it is, there is unfortunately nothing we can do until they make a more direct move."

Nero: "So that's all we can do? Just sit here and wait while more people die?"

Vergilia: "I do not like it either, but we have no other choice."

Y/N: "Nero, there's no way to fight something you don't even know how to find." Nero sighed.

Nero: "So what can I do?"

Vergilia: "We keep stopping demons where they appear." Nero left with a huff. "I understand how he feels. It's hard to just sit down and wait for something to happen when you see people dying."

Y/N: "He just wants to do the right thing."

Vergilia: "I know." I was looking down.

Y/N: "Hey. It's ok. You're doing all you can."

Vergilia: "I just... I wish I could do more."

Y/N: "Where do you think Nero gets that from?" I looked up upon hearing that.

Vergilia: "Maybe. I just hope that whatever happens, we will be able to stop the demons."

Y/N: "Dantine singlehandedly took down Mundus. All three of you together are probably powerful enough."

Vergilia: "I hope you are right."

Y/N: "So, how's Dantine doing then? Is she still with that guy?"

Vergilia: "As far as I know. He's an artificial demon, from what she said. He broke free of his creator and one thing led to another."

Y/N: "So while you ended up with a human, she ended up with a demon?"

Vergilia: "Yes. Although he appears he was created using a human as a reference."

Y/N: "I bet they last longer than we do in bed." He laughed. I smiled.

Vergilia: "I don't mind. But yes, I imagine they do." He leaned down to kiss me.

Y/N: "Well, I should probably get started on dinner."

Vergilia: "Please do."

Y/N: "After that, you need a bath. I think I'll help you with that." 

Y/N's Pov

I stood up and went to the kitchen. As I was in there, Nero came in.

Nero: "Hey, dad? Can I ask you something?"
