Purifying Spirit

[14:59] Thera Elisheva says, "If you have it with you, we can begin the cleansing."
[15:00] Ethan Hawke says, "-"
[15:00] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "Yeah!"
[15:00] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "That'd be perfect!"
[15:00] Agava asks, "Sounds great to self sis. Also runes would the boost selfs nature bind?"
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "Runes can accomplish many things if you find a creative, and intelligent runescribe."
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "Unfortunatly, most are neither."
[15:03] Agava says, "Well self has trust in Amara."
[15:03] Agava says, "You as well."
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "Amara is talented. Very much so."
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "Myst. Elayna."
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "I'll be in the Manor."
[15:03] Thera Elisheva says, "Let me hold it."
[15:04] Ethan Hawke asks, "The bottle or the staff?"
[15:09] Thera Elisheva says, "The bottle."
[15:09] Thera Elisheva whispers something.
[15:09] Thera Elisheva whispers something.
[15:11] Myst whispers something.
[15:16] Ethan nods, reaching into his clothes and pulling out a purple wine bottle. Within was a corrupted being - completely black in color with two yellow eyes that nervously stared around the room. Just how long had it been trapped? Just what was going to happen to it?

The poor thing could only wonder.
(Ethan Hawke)

[15:16] {Item} You drop Bottled Corrupted Ichor x1.
[15:17] Elayna says, "Ooh grape juice."
[15:17] Elayna drinks
(Elayna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:19] The studies the bottle without touching it, her holy mana telling her all she wanted to know about its contents.

"How will we... purge this..? What do you think it will become after?"
(Elayna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:19] Myst folds her arms but otherwise remains quiet.
(Myst)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:32] "...the first part is easy." Thera nods to Myst, giving her a non-verbal 'yes' to her inquiry. While her thoughts had become clear, her faith had begun to shrivel away. No longer looking for something to believe in- but yearning to give others a reason to believe.

To cling to the false sense of security bred from the lie that is hope.

"Myst. I'll be drawing from your mana reserves. Amara. Channel as much exorcist energies as you can." Buzzing, hissing, whirring, the sounds of ethereal chains rattling can be heard echoing through the abode. Blinding is the light that follows, as a womanly silhouette of gold erupts from Thera's frame.

The sprits eyes closed, the golden specter's visage contains a perpetual scowl. As if she were wrathful, even while resting. Thera's gaze shifts, her eyes of azure meeting the visage of the one who shares her body...

It had taken several years to become attuned to the realm spirits, to perfect her contracts, to give them mana as well as draw from their own. To learn to separate Shai's emotions from her own; to know when the spirits rage should be unleashed.

...despite all her leaps in progress, she finds herself wanting to take one more. One final jump, to truly become a master of spirit: an Oracle.

"Shai. Catch."

She casually tosses the vial to the spirit, who, with both hands, grabs hold of the tainted ichor.

"Myst. Steel yourself. Amara. Ready up."
(Thera Elisheva)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:44] Ready up

The Spirit seems to ignite with exorcist mana, a golden-white glow radiating from her.

Reading The Book of Kraus gave her a lot of insight into what her father.. and she supposed herself had believed in life. Given the words seemed to resonate with her well..

An old faith rekindled making her holy magic grow in leaps it seems.

Her body contained all she could hold at one time, the area around her nearly to bright to lay eyes on...

"I'm ready.."

She was more than prepared to either send her mana to Thera, or use it herself however directed.
(Elayna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:44] "I wish it was purging. That implies that there's nothing left." The Gehennan's patience had been worn thin when it came to the topic of corruption. Clearly she was one to lean towards the extremes. When the words were spoken she'd slowly drift to the ground.

A quiet, noiseless landing as she carefully slides to her knees and bows her head silently. Vines began to ebb and flow near her body, digging through the spirits incorporeal flesh.

Along the legs, mostly. Ingraining her in spot whilst chronomancy continued to tick the clock back and fourth around her body. It was perhaps the best way she could 'steel herself' for being drained of her own mana.

Otherwise, the spirit remains solemn, and quiet. Even the red wisps that were normally used as her eyes had winked out of existence, leaving little more than the darkness that composed of her face and the threaded smile forced into its usual grin.

"I am prepared."
(Myst)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[15:47] Ethan took a small step back with the instructions that were being spoken by Thera - more impressed by the avatar that surged from behind her frame and shed light all around the room. He knew that feeling all too well. Both who fueled its presence and what it was were familiar to him, albeit in different fashions at different times.

Needless to say the Wayfinder seemed impressed by the display, a pleasant smile offered to the girl.

"Is there anything I gotta do?"
(Ethan Hawke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:36] "No."

It's then, that Thera begins to pull mana from the circuits typically used to sustain Myst's spirit. Rather than provide, they syphon, pulling mana directly from the spirit. With the constant reversion of her, it's unlikely that the mana stolen will be missed for long. Where she proved to a be a far more efficient battery than Elayna...

Only Elayna could perform this type of cleansing.

Each playing their role in the removal of corruption.

Between Shai's hands, surrounding the vial of ooze, forms an orb. It's a small sphere of spiritual mana. Drained from herself, the spirit, and Shai, this condensed azure sphere forces the ichor within to writhe, and shake. Small eyes occasionally pressing against the glass.

Cutting her gaze to Holy Spirit, she waits, refusing to speak until she feels the time is right.

"Force all of your desire to heal, cleans, and protect- " Their sphere of spiritual mana ripples as it grows larger, threatening to lose it's stability. "Into a ray of light, and direct it a the vial."

Brute forcing her way through this one.
(Thera Elisheva)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:36] Myst whispers something.
[16:40] There is no complaint at being used as what equates to a mana battery. The loss of mana soon replaced and strengthened through the grip of nature magic and alongside the use of Chronomancy.

At times there were distant flickers, that dissipated the spirit's essence, reshaping less in the shape of a cat and more in the shape of an oaken woman wearing little more than tribal gear. Her breathing leveled in, and out.

Before returning to the cat like appearance once more!

Other than that, she was docile, and quiet.
(Myst)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[16:59] The exorcist energy around the spirit begins to shift and move... her staff is held firmly the mana flowing into its tip, the energy rolling in the spines at the stop of her weapon.

She thought of Thera... the once molten metal inside of her as she was cutting it out under the watchful eye of Noel...

Her minds eye shifts to Amara after the attack, her desire to help purge her sibling of sorts. The pain she felt for not being there for either of them..

She thought of her father, the man in white armor. Going somewhere... Somewhere..

A jumble of memories cross her mind each only lingering for a moment... Undead marching across the country side.. Her Father.. leaving to protect his family. That worry she had felt made sense now..

A new memory rises to the surface, her mother at the door, answering a knock. She'd been reading one of her Dads books.. the words still lost to her.. There was a soft gasp.. and her mother came to her.

Tears rolling down her face..

She was a teenager at the time, nothing else needed to be said. He wasn't coming home.

He died for them.. to keep them safe..

Kraus will guide me home home. Always.. and when he doesn't.. it is his plan I don't return.

This place... these people.. they were her family... and she was their guardian. That fierce desire to protect now a burning flame inside of her, even as ethereal tears fall to mist.

The top of her staff glows blindingly white, the holy mana more than she should have been able to summon.

The supercharged staff is pointed at the sphere, directly into the vial. Carrying with it the full desires of the Exorcist Spirit. Carrying with it her desire to keep everyone safe.

The beam pierces the vial, making the entire contents seem to glow as the corruption is seared away. There was visible strain on her face, all of her power being thrown behind this one powerful beam.
(Elayna)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:27] As purities light crashes into the vial, the vial trapped within the mana of the ether, Thera begins to struggle. Struggle to keep that sphere of spiritual mana stable. Struggles to maintain her own composure, as Shai's newly frame holds the vial and orb in place.

Rays of gold fly from the sphere, in every direction, lighting up the manor like a disco ball. It grows, larger, and larger, threatening to lose it's stability. Absorbing a great deal of the exorcist energies unleashed through Elayna's cleansing ray, the sphere shifts from azure, to white.

As if it were becoming a Yellow Dwarf.

All of the contents within this vial. Ichor, and spirit included, would be trapped within an unstable, shimmering sphere. A cleansing bath for the wicked, purging it of it's occult and diabolical properties. There are many questions Thera contains regarding the logic, and logistic of this creature even existing.

Though, in a realm such as this one? She'd learned to simply accept certain realities, regardless of the potential paradoxes or impossibilities presented.

The sphere shrinks, slamming into the vial, absorbing as much of the excess energy that it can...

Before Shai sinks back into her body, and she refrains from drawing on Mysts reserves.

Hand held out, she grabs hold of the purified ichor, inspecting it, before tossing the vial over to Ethan.

"It's done."
(Thera Elisheva)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:29] Ethan reached his hands out to catch the vial tossed at him, carefully so. His eyes remained stuck upon the piece of malediction that had been purified and turned into something much, much less corrupt. Between rays of light and spirit batteries, it was clear that Thera knew what she was doing to an incredible extent. A grin appeared on the man's face as he looked back up towards the Spiritmancer.

"It feels way better. What about putting it into the staff that I showed you, how do I manage that?" He asked.
(Ethan Hawke)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[17:30] Myst whispers something.
[17:30] Myst whispers something.
[17:31] Myst says, "If whatever is in there is alive, consider -not- forcing it to combine with an inanimate object unless it wants too. I'd recommend talking to it first."
[17:32] Myst says, "Now, I think I'll be going."
[17:32] Thera Elisheva says, "Myst."
[17:32] Myst asks, "Yes?"
[17:33] Myst asks, "Yesss?"
[17:33] Thera Elisheva says, "Next thing I want to focus on."
[17:33] Thera Elisheva says, "Is our project."
[17:33] Thera Elisheva says, "I'll let you know when I have the required..........."
[17:33] Thera Elisheva says, "...ingredient."
[17:33] Myst says, "Of course."
[17:33] Thera Elisheva says, "Now."
[17:35] Ethan Hawke asks, "..?"
[17:36] Thera Elisheva says, "I'd wait until it adjusts, before trying to speak with it."
[17:36] Thera Elisheva says, "I told you we'd try and arrange for a contract."
[17:36] Thera Elisheva says, "Not make a slave."
[17:37] Thera Elisheva says, "It probably won't be difficult, all things considered."
[17:38] Elayna says, "Mhm.."
[17:38] Ethan Hawke says, "Yeah."
[17:38] Ethan Hawke asks, "So I should give it a bit, talk to it and then..?"
[17:38] Thera Elisheva says, "If it agrees, binding it weapon won't be difficult at all."
[17:39] Thera Elisheva says, "Get Reito to apply a few rune designated to keeping it tethered."
[17:39] Ethan Hawke says, "Alright."
[17:39] Ethan Hawke says, "Sounds good-"
[17:39] Elayna says, "Mm.. Be safe Ethan, Thera."
[17:39] Ethan Hawke says, "Thanks, by the way."
[17:40] Elayna says, "Of course."
[17:40] Thera Elisheva says, "Of course."
[17:40] Thera Elisheva says, "I'm going to be busy for the next few.."
[17:40] Thera Elisheva says, "Years."
[17:40] Ethan Hawke asks, "When aren't you?"
[17:40] {Item} You picked up Bottled Corrupted Ichor. Dropped by Thera Elisheva. .
[17:40] Ethan Hawke says, "Tell me if you need my help with anything."
