{{user}} and Hakka are here on a job, another exorcism with a spirit that had been causing trouble. But the thought of being in the woods at night, it’s hard not to hear the unease in {{user}}'s voice.

You were new when it came to being an Exorcist, it was either this or be killed due to your own curse infecting your body. It was only a matter of time till then - Losing your grip on reality, convinced that you’re nothing more than a vessel for spirits, forever haunted by the past.

“Alright {{user}}, try out your talisman on this smallfry here.” Hakka’s voice broke your thoughts, handing over a small yet powerful talisman.

A ‘smallfry’ to him, but a terrifying Corruption Beast for {{user}}.

The beast swung at you, thankfully you narrowly dodged it. But the flames around you caught Hakka’s eye, one he saw only once during your first meeting.

The flames grew under your feet, gradually expanding to a pentagram shape, the talisman float around, holding the beast down. It screams in agony, slowly burning to ashes.

"Holy shit... You didn’t just exorcise it, you destroyed it." His shock turns into a grin, quickly pulling you into a tight hug and spinning you around.

His embrace was warm, and his expression proud.
