《The Sorcerer King and the White Rabbit Queen.》Chapter 8.

The very earth beneath their feet begins to quake violently as it behins to shift following Nero's will upon the use of the token. Rising from both the ground and from Mt. Stargate a structure begins to emerge in a of it's majesty. The process of it's construction was accurate and detailed at it's finest. One of the most epic and majestic castles he had ever seen in any form of media.
Anor Londo!
The final area from Dark Souls which includes Sen's Fortress acting as the entry into the main structure, the main palace itself, Duke's Archives, Crystal Cave, and even the Painted World of Ariamis which is a functional sub-dimension in which Nero intends to use as a sort or prison. If no one knows that they can escape by making the leap of faith at the end, then they will never be able to escape.
Soon enough the entire massive structure in it's entire majesty had been complete. Nero and Deva look on in admiration and awe at it's complete majestic architecture.
"Nero?" Deva goes to ask, "did you create for us Anor friggin' Londo as our own personal castle?"
"Yes, I did my queen." Nero replied with a smile, "like it?"
"Ohhh!" Deva pouces on Nero, giving him the most passionate and happy kiss to express her joy, "like it? I love it! This queen is more than satisfied with the castle her king has built for them."
Nero chuckles before giving Deva a peck on her lips, "I am delighted you like it, love."
Looking at the construct from their distant perch Deva asks in curiosity, "Of all of the castles you chose, why Anor Londo anyways?"
"Hm..." Nero contemplates his reply before responding, "to be honest Anor Londo was the one castle that stood out to me. I had considered Dracula's Castle from Castlevania but it was too... Dark and gothic for me, plus the ambient traps and locations below the castle could lead to many accidents."
"Then the Hogwarts castle, while big in it's own right, was too... Generic and small for my interests. Anor Londo is massive and has plenty of space to accommodate our future apprentices, be they shinobi or magician."
Deva laughs, "Big is an understatement. The rooms and passages are so high that no one will see my ninja hiding up in the rafters."

"My reasoning exactly," Nero said, "we have security in the magically powered mobile armors patrolling the grounds, while our future shadows spy from above."
"I like it!" Deva said.
...
Nero and Deva start their tour of Anor Londo by first steeping into the only true route into the marvelous castle. And that is through Sen's Fortress. The stairway that leads into the main entry has 4 armored statues standing on each side of the path, just waiting for Nero to enchant later on into security.
Inside they traverse the first floor, walking across the bridge that passes above the semi-flooded basement below. Nero thought to leave it like that intentionally as a place to which only higher ranked ninja could safely traverse with waterwalking.
The traps, such as the pendulum blades and the prisoner's cages were omitted from Nero's design and made it less medieval gothic and dilapidated and more fresh and clean in his image. Nothing gruesome and horror-like in the game.
Exploring the first floor, then the flooded basement, second floor, roof 1, and roof 2. They made sure to explore every single inch of the place from their memories. Every hidden place will have a use. Walking across the bridge where the boss fight against the Iron Golem, which is a giant armored statue Nero intends to enchant later, they take the lift up to the main castle.
"Just how I remember it." Deva said fondly in reminisce.
"Indeed."
Hand in hand the two soulmates walk through the massive castle that is theirs. Not the decrepit and war sieged and crumbling castle of Dark Souls. Everything looked so new and well maintained.
The corridor that leads to the Dark Sun Gwyndolin. The chamber of the giant princess Gwynevere. Even her massive bed/sofa was there and the two spent some time lounging on it in comfort before touring on.
They even made it to the boss chamber in which players would fight Ornstein and Smough. Two giant armored statues laying in wait for Nero to charm.
There were armories with basic and unremarkable weapons and armor. A vault deep beneath the castle for their most valuable collection. They even roamed into the chapel that housed the painting portal that leads to Ariamis.
The two even wandered into that dreary and cold painting world before making it to the end where the plank towers over the whirlpool abyss that seemingly leads to one's certain doom.

"Hey Deva," Nero says her name and grins playfully, "fancy a leap of faith?"
"Hey, waiiii-" she screams as he turns and grabs her hand before leaping backwards into the vortex below with a boisterous laugh and a screaming Deva.
After vanishing into the vortex the two pop out from the painting and land on their feet. Nero still laughing out loud and Deva still catching her breath.
*gasps!*
"Don't... Do that.... Without warning... Jerk!" She scolds him ruefully with a glare that promises retaliation. Deva had already mastered the Uzumaki Pranking Art©. "I would have made the leap willingly when I felt like it!"
"Hahaha, sorry love." Nero says with an apologetic smile, "had to do it."
"Hmph!"
After that little bout of fun the continued with the tour leading to the Duke's Archive. Surprisingly had tons of books which had originated from both Nero and Deva's memories. Manga, fanfiction, light novels, full blown books, and even fanfiction.
These themselves do not even fill a small portion of this library which means that the two would have to work hard on filling out the empty bookshelves.
After leaving the library and roaming the Crystal Cave, the two finally reach the last stop of their tour. The throne room and the royal quarters that is hidden behind the throne.
Talk about the royal luxury as everything is marvelous. Gwyn sure new how to live like the king he was. The bed, much to Nero's forgetful insight, ended up being gigantic enough to fit way more than Nero and Deva.
"You should have thought this through Nero," said Deva, "the bed is humongous!"
"Yeah..."
Walking through the chamber they came to a stop at a door that opened up into a beautiful garden with a lake being fed by a waterfall that flows out through grated waterways. The path to their hidden paradise concealed by the fall.
"Beautiful..." said Deva in awe, drawn at the beauty and purity that this garden represents. To them this is a symbol of the beginning of their new life together.
Nodding in agreement Nero slips his hand into his pocket and produces two beautiful golden rings with engravings on them. One had a black rose on it to symbolize him as Nero Le Fay. The other a pure white moon that symbolizes Deva as his Moon Goddess.
Taking Deva's left hand he slowly slips the ring on her ring finger and caresses her hand lovingly with a smile, "this ring bears my symbol, the Black Rose. By placing it on this finger I give to you heart and my soul. Do you accept my everything?"
Deva's eyes mist over and she has the brightest and most dazzling smile he had ever seen.
"Yes," Deva takes the ring with her symbol on it and slides it onto Nero's fing finger, " this ring bears my symbol, the Sacred Moon. By placing on this finger I pledge my heart, my body, and my soul. Do you accept everything that I am?"
"I do," Nero says before wrapping his arms around Deva's waist and bringing her to his embrace, "I love you."
He leans in to kiss her in which she reciprocates. They share their kiss for 10 minutes before breaking apart to breath.
"I guess this makes us official." Said Deva with a slight blush.
"Indeed it does my lovely wife." He says in agreement. A smile on his face. The love he regretted never having in his past life he had finally gained in this life thanks to his mother's blessings.
They will happily spend their lives together in eternity and punish the darkness that tried to drive them apart. Nero promises to find and erase the dark seed that piggypacked it's way into their happy reincarnation.
"Now all that we need to do to finish off this romantic wedding-" Deva grabs Nero's hand and pulls them towards their private cavern paradise hidden behind the falks. Her hips swaying seductively with each step, "- is to officially consummate our union. Or it won't truly be official."
Nero nods his head and gulps with a tinge of red on his cheek. For the last few years since hitting puberty it had been hard for him to resist Deva's allure. They had both wanted to reach a satisfying milestone in their training and returned to where they (Deva) left off in their past lives. 17 years of age in Deva's memory's case.
Now that they are married, there will be no holding back and accepting the inevitable.
