WARNING: This chapter contains violence towards an animal! It will only  be brief but I felt I'd mention it nonetheless. If that upsets you, please either tread carefully or don't read! I have warned you.

Damian POV

The only sound to be heard was that of the carriage's wheels rumbling over the stone cobble path. No words were exchanged between me or Dio. I had my face reading intently through a book as Dio just sat in silence, his arms folded and eyes closed. I didn't know how long we'd been travelling or how long until we'd reach the Joestar mansion.

Soon, I closed the book and turned my attention to look out at the countryside. Living in the streets of London, I'd never fully gotten a glimpse at the fields and pastures the country offered. However even now, viewing a sight like this, my mind wasn't at ease.

And that's when the silence was abruptly broken when Dio spoke up, scolding me. "You're anxious. Stop it. Get whatever is bothering you out of your mind, it will only weigh you down." I turned to my brother to see his eyes open, glaring right at me.

I simply nodded, while me and Dio did have a good connection to each other. He was still very much a cold and heartless person. He always lectured me if I found myself second guessing my actions. This did cause me to ask "What do you think the Joestars may be like?"

In truth, I knew why we were coming here. The reason I asked that is because if they behaved a certain way, this could all be for NOTHING! Dio responded "It doesn't matter, either way, we'll take what is ours."

It was at this point the carriage finally came to a stop. Dio felt the need to state the obvious. "We're here." I nodded before saying "Okay." We each took hold of our respective suitcases and pushed the carriage doors open.

Instantly, Dio threw his case onto the stone floor in front of him and leapt from the carriage. Landing in a dramatic pose shortly after. As he got to his feet, his face hardened in his usual cold glare. I followed soon after, though less theatrically. Instead I just stepped out slowly and asked "Was that necessary?"

Dio didn't respond and instead kept his glare directly ahead. I followed his gaze and noticed stood directly opposite us was a boy about Dio's age, a boy with dark blue hair. For a moment he looked at us with confusion before a kind, gentle smile spread across his face. 

He greeted "You're Dio and Damian Brando right?" I nodded and said "That's right." Doing my best to sound polite as well. Dio just grinned and returned "And you must be Jonathan Joestar." So, this was the Joestar heir?

Extending his hand outward, he spoke "Everyone calls me JoJo. Nice to meet you." I again, did my best to mirror with a kind smile "Nice to meet you JoJo. I look forward to getting to know you further." Jonathan's smile grew as he said "Likewise!"

It was at this point a dog's barking was heard. We all turned our attention to see a dog running towards us. Jonathan called out "Danny!" As the dog began running around, Jonathan extended his arms out.
