[color=39b54a][/color]gJax kept her eyes closed as she was letting forth a babble of whispers in Latin, her posture rigid as she gripped the wall in front of Maria. The disheveled woman was crying and screaming extremities, in order to sway Jax to let her go. Her words went unheeded and after awhile Jax stopped speaking the wall behind her disappeared, fading into a deep black darkness, but you could still see the opposite walls in a reflection as if a mirror was blocking off the darkness, the truth was visible but only if you looked at the opposite image. Jax opened her eyes the green luminescence narrowing in on Maria, her voice was cold and sharp, “[color=39b54a]I walk the valley of the dark and the light. Choosing no path but the one I build myself. I worship no god but the job. The duty of my faith. You have forgotten the face of your creator. I invoke his punishment as a means to know your name. What is your name demon?[/color]”

Maria's body contorted as she stood up straight, her expression turning malicious, "[color=ed145b]Why can't you just leave me alone! YOU FILTHY WHORE. She wants this. That's why she keeps calling me back.[/color]"

Jax gave her own malicious smile, hiding her true emotions. Now, most people think that being able to summon demons makes a good exorcist but it's not. It's definitely beneficial, but it isn't even close to the key ingredient. It's a healthy dose of bravado, cockiness and a whole lot of narcissism. You want to beat the devil. You better be fucking confident enough to outsmart him. Jax spoke evenly, "[color=39b54a]She wants her husband, you prick. You're just an insect trying to leach your way into our world. Now tell me your name demon, before I call them in.[/color]"

Maria took a step backward, her chains tightening, as something began to crawl forward behind Jax in the deep blackness. Slick almost wet black shapes came forward. The smile on Maria's face faltered, as a hint of a demonic voice crept through her words, "[color=ed145b]No. Not them...anything but them. I WILL TAKE THE BITCH WITH ME TO HELL![/color]" 

Jax took another step forward, her voice strong yet calm, "[color=8dc73f]I walk the road of two worlds. Hear my voice demon as the voice of your father. Here my voice as the retribution of the holy creator. You may not respect me but you will respect power. NOW, what is your name demon?[/color]"

The demon crouched as the [url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/359097288569782274/381341866261610496/7ce4ab0064b8a2643ffa1c0258e5bcd4.png?width=416&height=668]figures[/url] took a step forward, barely shown through the translucent image, words ripping through her throat harshly, "[color=ed145b]Laxeron. My name is...Laxeron...[/color]"

Jax let out a breath, relieved that the demon was of a weaker variety. She had spent hours in this room trying to remove the last demon and she was worried that this would be a repeat. She was lucky this time, the demon falling right into her hands. Her smile fell away leaving a discouraged serious expression, as she slammed her hands together with the light from her pentagrams intensifying as two figures rushed out to slam into Maria. Jax used latin incantations of power to strengthen her power, making sure that the soul rippers were well aware who was in full control. They tore and bit and clawed the dark spot of Maria's soul, black oozing blood from the demon covering the room as Jax continued to speak. When the last bit of the demon was ripped apart Jax let out a gasp, before taking a few step forward to catch Maria so she wouldn't hit the floor, her body giving out on her. She grit her teeth, bloody tears falling down her cheeks, one staining her bandaged eye with blood as the soul rippers were pulled back into the darkness. Jax felt them ebb away but knew she had to hold out until she was entirely sure they were in the loss. When the moment was right, she let go of Maria and stood up turning to close the gate when a somber-faced man with pure white skin and large dinner plate eyes hid just behind the mirror. Jax stopped, reaching out into the darkness, preparing to take a step towards him when a hand came up to cover her eyes pulling her backward. Jax's strength was gone as a whisper formed, "[color=39b54a]Etro...[/color]" 

She felt a whisper in her ear, "[color=c4df9b]You can't save them all child..and this time...she has earned her slumber.[/color]" 

Jax shivered, pain and anger visible in her voice, "[color=39b54a]I promised..[/color]" 

The voice was so soft yet the weight of eon's of life made it seem so powerful, "[color=c4df9b]You kept it. She is at peace and she will find whom she is looking for. Keep walking the road...the time that we all face is coming closer for more than you think. Be ready...your time is coming.[/color]" 

Jax was about to speak when suddenly she hit the dusty floor softly, the room turning back to what it was. She let out a gasp sitting up and looking for any sign of Etro. He was gone..and when her eyes hit Maria she realized that she was too. Douglas entered a few moments later and Jax stared up at him with tears in her eyes and a sob in her throat, "[color=39b54a]She's...[/color]"

Douglas looked at Maria with a deep sadness as he moved down to Jax, "[color=fff200]Gone. It was her choice. You couldn't change her mind anymore. You can't save everyone.[/color]" 

Jax shut her eyes pulling herself back from the edge of hysterics. After the events with Morthos and her family, she wanted to just curl up and cry. Instead, she stood up and looked at Douglas with an exhausted expression, "[color=39b54a]I'm going home.[/color]"

She walked past him opening the door to see the two other priests and an older dark haired woman with soft brown hopeful eyes. Jax was about to speak when the woman looked past her and burst into tears. Jax's heart sunk. She had so much to say but knew that it wouldn't mean anything so she just gave a shake of her head, "[color=39b54a]I'm sorry. I tried.[/color]" 

She shut her eyes, wiping the blood from her nose as she took her coat from Douglas who came up behind her and walked towards the door, her focus on going home.  He called out quickly before she headed out to the main hall, "[color=fff200]Tomorrow morning?[/color]" 

She turned back nodding, "[color=39b54a]Always.[/color]" 

The main hall opened up around her as she exited the hallway, brushing past a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/89/1d/ef/891defbb5666e8b173b7e37143f2ef42.jpg]man[/url] who had just entered the church. She looked up into solid grey eyes and for a split second she felt a stab in her brain and an image of hell came up like a geyser. She shut her eyes letting out a gasp at the same time the man did. She came to faster then he did and pushed him towards the pews her eyes lighting up to green, "[color=39b54a]Try that invasive shit again and I will make you regret it, asshole. I'm fine Douglas. See you tomorrow.[/color]" 

She shook her head fixing her jacket before she exited the church giving the man one last angry glare before she left, heading into the night with thoughts of Maria coming into full focus.
