Devil May Cry ~ Fill Your Dark Soul With Light ~ {Dante x Reader}

Chapter 35: Ardyn Lucis Caelum

When you and Dante ventured the stairs you were almost there to Ardyn's so called throne room of his just at the tower.

Dante wasn't so nervous, but if things go down and you would be in deep hell, he would do anything to save you. Even if it means he would risk his damn life to take you back to his shop and eat pizza and ask you on a real date.

The doors have open.

"It does look like someone's  been expecting us." Dante comments. "They even rolled up the red carpet."

"Rise my dear, awaken your true potential , it's time to awaken the Eye's of Etro."

You heard Ardyn's voice.

"It's Uncle Ardyn!" Clarestia  runs to the light.

"Wait! Don't go there!" You chase after her. "Clarestia!"

When you enter the throne you see Ardyn  holding Clarestia in his arms which was kinda strange. "Look Uncle, Mommy's here too with her red friend!"

Ardyn chuckles. "I've waited a long time for this family reunion."

"Save him..." The voice of Aera echos in your mind when you touch the stone of memories. It would seem that she was pleading to save her love and find peace when Somnus  could not after Celestia punished him.

"Did you have a good journey with your mother?" Ardyn asked Clarestia.

"Yeah! She and her friend are very strong!" Clarestia  exclaims.

"I see..."

"I was scared of the monsters, but Mommy told me not to cry, and I don't anymore."

"You've grown up strong, Clarestia."

"I did Uncle!"

"Yes, and tonight you sleep alone like a big girl."

Clarestia pouts. "Aw! But I don't want to sleep yet! There's so much I want to tell you."

Ardyn pats her head. "You can tell me tomorrow. Right now, it's bedtime."

Clarestia sighs. "Oh... okay."

"Good girl." Ardyn opens a portal to send her home. "Sweet dreams...."

"Goodnight Uncle..." Before Clarestia go back she turns her head to you and Dante. "Mommy....I'm not going to be afraid anymore....no matter what, even if I'm alone.." She turns to Dante. "Please take care of mommy Mr. Dante. Someday I'll find a best friend with a pretty hair like yours."

You smiled at her. "....Clever girl.."

Dante chuckles. "See ya later, kid."

"See you later mommy and Mr. Dante." Clarestia went home through the time rift in his window. 

You turn your attention to Ardyn.  "Tell me Ardyn, how was it possible that you were able bring my other self from the past?"

Noctis gasp. "The past... what?"

"Figures, it was know wonder they look alike." Dante deducted that it was your younger self from the beginning.

"I opened the door of space-time distortion by the influence of Etro's coming." Ardyn shrugs. "I wanted you to see this foolish world through innocent, untainted eyes. I've been waiting Two Thousand  years... for a chance to purge the chaotic worlds...of heaven, hell and the human world...With the resurrection of Etro, the three worlds will become void and be reborn. Clarestia Esara, you and I will become gods of this new world! "

Dante mockingly applaud. "Getting a bit ahead of ourselves  aren't we, Mr. God Devil? You're the master of blowing your own horn. You take this entrepreneurial philosophy a bit seriously don't you? But it's all diarrhea of the mouth if you ask me."
