"I will help him, but I will not pursue him. If he wishes to learn the ways of Sirius, I shall train him. If not, I will pray for his soul..." He said.
He turned to Drusilla. "It seems date wants us to work together on this matter more than I had anticipated. Do you have any leads..?" He asked.
"Actually yes. Fulong here holds an artifact that may help us defeat the demon once and for all... Also... I recall you researched this demon after your encounter..?"
He nodded. She crossed her arms. "Did you ever come across the topic of a heart?" She asked. Claudio shook his head. "I did not... I will look into it." Drusilla then turned to Fulong. "Where is Wulong now?" She asked.

Fulong nodded in understanding. "Of course. I will just lead him to you."
Ultimately it was up to Lei. And he seems receptive, but he had some demons of his own that he has to face, first.
When Drusilla asked the whereabouts of his brother Fulong shrugged. "Probably doing some investigating. I can see if he is free."

"Please do. I know the demon will try to intercede us in getting the staff." She looked around. "I always feel it watching..." she turned to Fulong. "Go, I'll get my things ready to go to Shanghai..." She turned to Claudio, smiling. "Until next time..." She then hurried away.
Claudio gave a small nod to Fulong. "Do not underestimate yourself... You too could learn to use the light of Sirius to cast the shadows away..." He smiled. "Best of luck on your mission..." He said, before entering Antonio's home.

"And I rather not Wulong get himself killed. There is literally nothing he can do to help. He's just going to give into his fears and die." He sighed. "But unless you are sure he's strong enough, then by all means take him with us."
Once Drusilla left Fulong, he looked to Claudio. "Father tested me. He said I had no power. I will take you up on your offer."
He then gave Claudio a salute. "You as well."

After allowing Claudio in his home, Antonio walked to the kitchen to make tea. It would appear he was up all night, packing his home up. Most of everything was gone, and boxed up. Claudio looked around. "It would appear you have taken my offer..." He said, with a satisfied expression on his face. Antonio nodded. "It would appear so, old friend..." He said. Claudio walked to Antonio. "Look... We need to talk about your son..." He said.
Antonio turned to him, "Yes... Daniel... I will need to train... I haven't faced a demon in many moons... Especially in a situation as delicate as this one...." He said, putting the rim of the cup to his lips, sipping his beverage hoping it'll relieve his aching head. Claudio sighed, shaking his head. "No... Not The afflicted--"
Claudio was then interrupted by a knock at the door. Antonio turned his head, setting the cup down to go answer the door. "One moment, Claudio." He said, before opening the door. His eyes widened a little to see Anna standing there. Her hair was dark again. She smiled a little. "Hello, Antonio..." He smiled. "Come in..." He said, standing out of the way.
"I must say... I can't be too surprised to see you alive..." He said, grinning. "Sorin has been acting funny... Everytime your name was brought up..." He said. Anna laughed. "God love him, he's a terrible liar..." She turned around to face him. "Just like his father..." She said, smiling. Antonio gestured to Claudio, "Anna... This is Claudio Serafino... An old friend and colleague..." He said. He turned to Claudio, "This is the mother of my children, Anna Williams..." He said. Claudio gave a small nod to the Irish woman, when Anna looked around. "Are you leaving...?" She asked. Antonio nodded, "I am..." He took her hands into his, looking into her eyes. "I'm returning to Italy, with Sorin..." He smiled sheepishly. "I know we just reconnected, and... you faked your death... and... A lot is going on, but...." Anna looked at him, confused.
"I want you to come with me, to Rome..." He said, smiling a little. "Sorin and I would like you to come..."
Anna's eyes widened a little, she was confused. She saw Daniel... He told her that they didn't want anything to do with her... "...Sorin wants me to go...?" She asked. Antonio laughed a little. "Of course he does... He was happy when he found you... He spent so long wondering who his mother was, and now he has you..." He said. Anna shoo her head, "I'm sorry if I'm confused... but..." Anna crossed her arms. "Daniel told me him and Sorin didn't want me in their lives... I-I Came here to tell you goodbye...." She said. Antonio's eyes widened, and darted to Claudio who was now at attention, "You saw the afflicted..?" He asked.
"Afflicted...?" Anna was even more confused now. "What's going on...?" She asked. Antonio tilted his head. "Anna... Daniel is possessed by a demon...." He said. Anna stared, eventually laughing. This must be a joke. "Are you serious?! Antonio, look if you don't want me--"
"Anna... I'm serious..." He said. "I come from a long line of exorcists... My mother, Giorgia, she was a very powerful exorcist... and, well she's dead now... I came to the Mishima Zaibatsu to study Kazuya's DNA, to find a way to cure the afflicted." He paused. "Daniel couldn't have told you those things... It was the demon, taunting you..." He said, quietly. Anna frowned. "I guess it wouldn't be the strangest thing I've experienced... I was attacked by a giant green.... thing." She said. "How do we fix it...?" She asked.
"We destroy the demon..." Claudio finally spoke. Antonio nodded. "The demon does not want you involved... It has attacked you for this reason, I'm sure of it... It is even more imperative you come with me to Rome..." Anna leaned against the wall. "There's something I need to do first..." She said, walking to him. She placed a kiss on his lips, smiling. "I'll come back... I promise... We will do this... together.." She said, smiling. Antonio smiled. "You are the ray of light in the darkness, my beautiful scarlet light..." He kissed her. Anna smiled as she backed away, walking out of the door.
"Are you sure that's a good idea...?" Claudio asked, as Antonio shut the door. Antonio nodded. "I feel it in my soul, Claudio... She will be the one who helps bring our son back..." He picked up his tea cup. "I hope she handles what she needs to, quickly..." He said. Claudio scoffed. "So... You said we needed to talk about my son, and.... not the afflicted one..." Antonio said, flatly. "What is your interest in Sorin...?" He asked, bluntly. Claudio was silent, opting to look out the window.
"I'm not blind, Claudio... I see the way you look at him..." He gave a sad sigh, "The very same way you looked at Salvi..." He said. "If I'm honest, Claudio... I cannot say I approve..." He admitted. Claudio spun around, expressing his disbelief with his eyes. Antonio raised his eyebrows. "Can you blame me...? I have not seen you in over twenty years, not to mention if you knew my son..." He shook his head. "He's just not ready for your world yet... Salvi was mature, well rounded, he understood what you stood for... Sorin is just now being opened up to this world..." He sipped his tea once more. "I just can't see--"
"Sorin is Salvi..." Claudio said. Antonio looked at him, mouth open. "...What do you mean...?" He asked. Claudio looked down. "Sorin... is Salvi... Reincarnated...." He said. "I peer into the light of sirius, I saw Giorgia's soul, but every time I would look for Salvi... It would only show me a boy I never knew... Your son..."
Antonio looked up at at Claudio. "I don't know what you want me to do with this information..." He said. "We shall discuss it, later... Right now we focus on Daniel... He's the one who needs our help..." Antonio took his tea cup, and walked up the stairs, leaving Claudio alone with his thoughts....
