"Nice to meet you, sir... Sorin. And Madame... Anna." Xinglong bowed again.
However when Sorin admitted that Anna was a bit of a bitch trying to be nice, he wasn't sure how to take it. There goes another fierce woman.
"Well, she's doing pretty well... I say."

Claudio nodded, giving a soft smile to Xiaoyu, "Of course, my young apprentice..." He said, guiding her down to the training room. The halls glittered in fancy art and designs. Claudio stopped at one particular portrait on the wall. He turned to Xiaoyu, with a regretful expression on his face. "Xiaoyu..." He began. "This... Is my master, Giorgia..." He said. "She was a very powerful exorcist..." He turned to her portrait. She was dressed in all white. Her dark brown hair went behind her back. In her hands, she held a small brass ring.
"She's dead..." He turned his eyes to Xiaoyu, "When you step into this room to train, always remember, even the best can be bested... and that is why we train... to prepare for anything..." He said. He turned and pushed the doors open.
Sorin spun around, "There you are!" He said. Claudio smiled a little. "Xiaoyu, you've already met Sorin... This is Xinglong." He brought her to stand next to the men. "You three will be training today..." He smiled. He turned to Anna, who was still gazing out the window. "Anna, my dear..." He began. "Come here." Anna raised a brow, walking to Claudio. "Yes...?" Claudio crossed his arms, "You are quite skilled in combat from what I understand..." He said. Anna furrowed her brow. "...Yes... I am." She said.
"I think I'm beginning to reconsider your being here..." He said, to which she scoffed. "Not helping." She said. He smiled. "Anna..." He held his hand out, gesturing to the three of them. She brought her gaze to the three apprentices. Sorin looked slightly nervous. Anna was a skilled fighter, but she wasn't an exorcist. What was Claudio's angle...?
"Consider, your combat prowess, with Antonio's exorcist abilities..." He said, smiling. Anna turned back to him. "I'm not in the mood to battle..." She said, feeling calm within herself. Claudio laughed a little. "Of course." He smiled, turning to the three. "You look at this woman... Fierce battles she has faced... Even among the supernatural!" He walked toward them, "Before you can be one with the light of Sirius, you must be attune to your own body. Be in control." He said. "I want the three of you to ground, to prepare, and to battle eachother..." He said.

Xinglong looked in confusion as Claudio had instructed them to all fight each other. He already knew that he was outmatched by two fighters. Xinglong had only just begun.
"Um... Okay!". He readies a stance, doing the very best that he can.

Xiao was confused with the instruction to fight, she had no clue how this would help with her training but she decided to shrug it off, and positioned herself into her fighting stance.
"Let's do this!" Xiao exclaimed, trying her best was all that mattered at this point.

Sorin grinned, cocking his hip to the side, "Alright..." He said, standing in such a way that he, Xiaoyu, and Xing created a triangle. Anna raised a brow, walking to Sorin. She took what appeared to be a pendant in her hand, but it looked like an oversized brass ring that was tied to a leather string. "Interesting..." She said, letting hand around his neck. He smiled. "This was my grandmother's... I put it on for luck..." He said, smiling.
Anna walked next to Claudio, the two prepared to watched a fight. However, Claudio and Anna nearly lost their footing when the whole building shook. Screams echoed throughout the halls, when Claudio immediately ran out to see what the commotion was.... "Anna, keep them here!" He called out, before pushing the doors open, and running to the main hall.
Sorin looked at Xiaoyu and Xing, confused. He went to follow Claudio, but was stopped by his mother. "He said to stay here... You don't know what's out there!" She yelled.

Xinglong fell on his butt as the building shook. He quickly regained his composure as he looked to Sorin and Xiaoyu and Anna.
"I think it would be best if I stay here...". He suggested to Sorin after Claudio left.

Xiao fell from the force of the ground shaking, it was so unusual and weird. Something didn't add up, and Xiao like Sorin chose to follow him, upon gaining her composure but was ultimately stopped by Anna.
"What are we supposed to do? Sit here and wait? Claudio could be in trouble!" Xiao fired back, while Anna was right, she still wanted to go and help Claudio.

Anna and Sorin nearly fell to the ground once more when the building shook. Anna quickly turned around to hear the Archers yelling. She frowned. "...Antonio..." She muttered. "Stay out of the way!" She instructed the students, as she took her son's hand. She cautiously led Sorin out to the main area, her heart pounding.
"WHERE DID IT GO!?" Sorin heard Claudio yell out. Anna stopped, halting the line. She was listening.
"I don't know, but we need to figure it out, fast!" She heard Antonio say.
Anna and Sorin quickly walked to where Antonio and Claudio were. The two men were clearly distressed, but kept it calm. The others were running round, and on guard. "Dad...! Claudio, what's going on!?" Sorin asked, crossing his arms. Antonio and Claudio turned to the group. Antonio's eyes widened a bit, "Anna... Take them out of here, now!" He placed his hands on her shoulders. "I can't let it take you!" He said. Anna took a step back, "Is it the demon...?" She asked, turning to Claudio. He gave her a grim nod.
She turned around, only to fall backwards into Antonio's arms.
"Hello, Mother..." Sorin and Claudio both went on guard at the sight of the possessed Daniel. "Miss me...?" It said, smiling.

"Yeah. You're right. We should probably help Claudio." Xinglong said after everyone wanted to go help Claudio. Plus, he really needed to stay with the group. "I'll join you guys." He said, following Anna and Sorin.
He looked and observed as everyone got into position, along with Claudio's warning for everyone to leave. This was something serious.
"I think I probably should not have done that."
And once the Espelhar made its appearance, Xinglong wasn't sure what to think. He's never been face-to-face with a demon before. It will be his first time. He looks like a normal person. Which makes sense. Demons need to blend in.
Not wanting to cause any problems, Xinglong stood by idly, watching everyone. Surely with Anna, Xiaoyu, Sorin, Claudio, and Antonio... he's safe, right?

Xiao followed the group until they met up with Claudio and Antonio, she stood idly with the others until the demon appeared. Her eyes widened with fear as she noticed this same exact creature who appeared in her apartment earlier.
She stood back, not wanting to go near the demon. This was something serious.

Anna clenched her jaw, standing straight up. Antonio held her close, stepping in front of her. Claudio's hand was already glowing with a bright light. The demon laughed at them. "...The fear in the room. It's palpable... You're all pathetic..." It said, eyes narrowing on Sorin. It smiled a little. "..What an interesting piece of jewelry you have there, brother..." It said, gliding to Sorin. Sorin clutched the piece of metal in his hand, holding it tight.
"Why would you be interested in a useless family heirloom..?" He asked. Claudio inched closer to Sorin, ready...
"...Details... Details.." The three circled eachother, when the demon quickly gripped Xing's neck, and lifted him off of the ground. "...Give it to me...." It said, articulating each word.
Sorin frowned, looking to Claudio. Antonio shot a powerful arrow at the demon's chest, but was astonished to see that it just bounced off of it. "What the hell..!?" He yelled out. Anna rushed over to Sorin, standing in front of him. The demon laughed, dropping Xing to the ground. "Like that, Antonio...?" It said. Claudio frowned. "It's like a mirror... It just reflects everything off of it..."
Soon, more Archers came in, surround the group. They began shooting light at the demon, to which it easily reflected away, using their own attacks against them. Chaos enveloped the Cathedral, as the attacks got more powerful, and brighter. Antonio quickly ran to Anna. "Get Xing, Xiao, and SOrin out of here..! NOW!" He yelled. Anna nodded, grabbing Sorin's hand, "Come on!"

As Xinglong was held by his neck, he squirmed and struggled as he tried to get free.
"Let me go, please...". He begged the demon. He was finally free but fell to the ground. He held his throat as he tried to catch his breath. He watched as the Archers shoult hi and it had no effect. "Guys, this isn't working. Maybe you should try something more useful. Like your actuall fi

"Xing!" Xiao called out as she noticed him being held by his neck, once the demon let him go Xiao ran over to help him. Soon, the attacks became more numerous and Xiao noticed a while ago, that it was definitely time to break camp.
When Anna and Sorin left, Xiao helped Xing to his feet and ushered him to follow behind the duo.

"Excellent idea, Xing.." Claudio said, as the chaos intensified. Claudio ran across the room, charging at the demon. His fist clenched, and riased, when Antonio shoved Claudio to the ground. "NO!" Antonio yelled out. Claudio quickly recovered, rolling to his knees. He looked up, "What the hell!?" He stood up, glaring at Antonio. "That's still my son, Claudio! We need to figure out how to get it out without hurting him!"
The two men noticed the demon disappeared. They looked around, running through the confused Archers.
As Anna ran, with Sorin's hand in her's, she was quickly thrown to the floor, when Sorin was tackled by The Espelhar. She quickly got back up to her feet, running after her son. Archers gathered around them, as Anna held her son's arm. All of the archers began summoning light. The demon was laughing. "These arrogant Exorcists think they can shatter ME?" It's laugh echoed throughout the hall.
"NO!" Claudio screamed, running through the Archers. "STOP!" He roared, but it was too late. All light went straight at the demon of reflection. The demon bent backwards as the light glided across it's body. It brought it's hand up, bringing the light into a sphere. As it held it together, the light got brighter and more violent. The Archers all stepped back, astonished.
The demon turned to Claudio, "....look familiar...?" It said, grinning, "I believe... Salvi had that same brass ring with him, when I killed him..." It's eyes shot straight to Sorin, as it released the attack of all of Archers onto him...
