Dealing with devils

[Aria]

Aria didn't have the time to holster her gun before Rune screamed for the last blow. Aria sighed, it was another lost blade, but in this instance it was well worth it. Aria brought her hands together and dropped the handgun to the ground. With both hands Aria gripped the hilt of the sword and with all her might she swung the sword through Bannik's neck. The father she pushed through the molten lava, tha hotter Aria's sword became and the softer it got.

Aria muttered a prayer. There was nothing else she could do. She prayed that there was enough slice left in the sword to finish the deed. She prayed that whatever the spirit wanted die it's last breath. If she were a priest could have concecrated the water and holy water would rain down upon the evil spirit. But she wasn't and could never be. Aria pulled the sagging blade the remainder of the way through the beast and it's head toppled to the ground in one loud thud, followed by it's body.

Aria dropped the sword and looked at the welt on her hands. She hoped it would not scar but knowing her luck she would have a permanent snake etched into the skin of her palms.

Aria sat down in the wet puddles on the ground and cooled her hands. She looked around to find her team, "Everyone okay?"
