And now the clock turns back. Gloria is making her way through the forest between Fortuna and the Order's headquaters and comes across something of an obstacle. If you have played Devil May Cry 4 you know exactly what I'm talking about.

"Rather a nice day for a walk, I suppose," Gloria murmured to herself as she walked through the forest. Despite her long walk, and the many monsters that the capable Gloria had slain on her path, her bob-cut was undisturbed. She looked up to see some white birds flying overhead, and smiled. "No reason not to enjoy one's duties."

Gloria was a member of the Order of the Sword, an organisation which worshipped the Demon Hero Sparda, who had long ago turned against his own kind to save humanity from obliteration. Though her own motives were mysterious, she had proved herself a serious asset to her organisation when she brought them the Sword of Sparda, an item absolutely essential to the Order's plans. She was in the middle of showing her worth to her superiors again: she had volunteered to capture Dante, the half human son of Sparda, whose blood the Order required along with the sword.

Gloria had not been tested in battle against a foe of Dante's strength before, but she was confident that she would be able to have her way with him. The voluptuous maiden certainly had a way with men.
"If Dante can't be defeated," she said to herself, "then perhaps he can be...persuaded." She put her hand on her thigh, smiling.

Gloria found her path taking her through a gully, where the forest seemed very suddenly to be coming to an end. The lush vegetation was replaced by bare, grey rock. Stone rose up on either side of Gloria, as if the path through which she now walked had been carved, rather than eroded, into being.

As suddenly as it had started, the path stopped. Gloria looked down, to see a ravine beneath her. It wasn't very deep, but a fall into it would have seriously injured a normal person. Gloria, however, was a little more than normal. She noticed, something, though: a number of strange creatures. They looked like masses of indigo vines, each with a single, glowing red eye.

"Now this is going to be fun," Gloria said, smiling.
