[Esoterica]

Alexandra smiled in Morgan's direcion. "Good idea...." She opened up a portal and purposely did it right over Morgan's head so that when Simon Tansley appeaared he would fall through the portal over Morgan's head, right on top of him.

"What in the flying fuck!" Simon said as he landed on top of Morgan. Alexandra smiled in their direction and said. "Your wish, Morgan is my command. Simon do you know what the hell is going on around here, I hope you do and that you are ready to help because you are going to help with Theo whether he likes it or not. Well also whether you like it or not. You know the Harbinger is coming. Or maybe you dont I dont remember if you were unconscious or not when that part was revealed at my Faith Meeting."

Morgan looked above himself as the portal opened but didn't have time to react before Simon toppled out of it landing on top of him. "Fuck!" As he puled himself out from under Simon he groaned and stood. "Great, he's here." He said in a deadpan tone. "Look Simon, you can either help us save Theo or we can kill you... Your choice. Neither I nor Alexandra here would lose any sleep over your death I don't think." He smirked.

"What are you three planning to do to me anyway!?" Theo piped in. "Feel like I have some right to know here." Theo spat. He was tired of having his bodily autonomy taken from him in these situations. "Also don't forget, I'm human, whatever you do could very well kill me."

Morgan looked at him and his lips flattened. "We're going to exorcize you with magic Theo, it'll probably put us all out of commission power wise for a while but it's to save the entire universe so-" He reasoned. "Are you ready? I hope so, because it's time."

~~~~~

Theo laid on one of Alexandra's surgical tables strapped down and sweating nervously as all three mages gathered around him. He swallowed a lump, he'd killed priests before who had tried this, what would happen with the mages?
Morgan cleared his throat as he put down the grimoire he was looking at.

"It's time." He said simply before pulling up his sleeves. Theo had been painted up with runes drawn in blood looking rather sacrificial as he lay there.

Morgan stood at the end of the table and took in a breath stretching his neck before suddenly becoming stern and focused. "The time is at hand, three grand magus have gathered here today to banish evil. We are the morning and the evening star, the harbinger shall cower before us and be rend in three." He held up his hands and magic circles all around the room began to glow blue, and two more color corresponding to the other mages.

"We, Alexandra Corvinus," He motioned to her. "Simon Tansley" Then to him. "And I Morgan Le Fae, open up this magic circle in challenge to the creation rites. May Ramiel, Cassiel and Linarael tremble before the power we exhibit here today in this great effort."

As much as he hated it he let his aura radiate and merge with the other two mages until it became so palpable that the magical energy was like static in the air.

"We the mother the maiden and the crone" He held out his hand and Theos runes lit up causing his back to arch as he screamed. "Pull you from the depths of this boys mind and soul." Black liquid began to flow out of Theo's mouth splattering onto the ceiling. It began to flow and flow into unbelievable amounts until the ceiling became a roiling mass of black, blood, and evil energy.

Energy began to spark between the three mages, burning their skin as they held the evil in place, condensing it down, smaller and smaller. until it became a basketball sized sphere. Each mage was struggling and nearly falling as they held the harbinger in place. "Now!" Morgan cried and made a motion. There was a flash as each mage made a similar movement and the black ooze seemed to freeze in place until it suddenly split into three pieces that fell to the ground like solid crystal.

Morgan collapsed onto the floor and retched up a little bit of blood as sweat dripped down his brow. "W-we did it-" He sighed before collapsing unconscious.
Theo had also long gone unconscious but was clearly still alive. Time would only tell how he was doing after this.

Theo awoke with a start sitting up on the couch with a gasp. Looking around the room it seemed empty. "Morgan?" He looked around.

"He's asleep, that exorcism nearly killed all three of them." Came a feminine voice by the fire place. Rani walked over holding a black silk bag with something heavy in it.

"Who are you?"

She smiled. "I am Ranni XI, 11th in my line to rule ancient Egypt. When I was 19 I was turned into a vampire, and I've been around ever since." She explained. "I came to visit the mages but when I walked in they were all either collapsed asleep or too drained to process anything I was saying. So I put everyone to bed. Everything is safe, for now and I assure you I mean no harm to you Theo. I'm an old friend of Alexandra's."

"What is that?" Theo asked, motioning to the drooping and heavy looking sack of silk.

Ranni looked at him plainly. "This is the heart of Serena Vincent." When she saw the look on his face she shook her head. "I'm only bringing it to the mages to hasten her resurrection. I'm hoping maybe if shes back she can talk some sense into that ex fiance of yours who thinks he owns the council now." She frowned. "He doesn't listen to you or his brothers but maybe he has a soft spot for his sister.

Rani didn't mention her ulterior motive of anting to keep the Dragomirs as far away from a council seat as possible. Serena had been up to be voted onto the council before she dead, and then well...

Theo got up and walked over to Ranni. "May I?" She hesitated but handed him the bag, and Theo held it closely sighing. "Oh Serena, I wish I'd known, I wish you'd told someone..." He mumbled sadly.He almost hugged the bag and as he did a warmth began to radiate from it. "Thats. Weird...."

"I just wish she could be back now, you know? I could really use a Vincent to talk to." Theo mentioned almost getting teary eyed. He had been through so much and Serena had always been polite to him at least.

There was a sudden gust of wind from nowhere that knocked the back out of Theo's hand causing it to roll across the floor. The bag began to tremble as it suddenly lifted off the ground and floated into the air. Powerful energy swirled around it before suddenly there was a crack of lightning and an ominous sound of wind and a vortex began to form above the table where Theo had been laid for the exorcism. The bag slid off of the heart and it began pumping mid air as more magical energy swirled into the vortex. Suddenly there was a loud howling shriek of anger in a familiar voice before the heart itself shot into the vortex and suddenly someone stepped out.

"...Serena?"
