Fates of Exorcism

Part 1 out of 2 for those guys. The Fates in my own lore have their origins in mythology, but aren't entirely based on it. For them I decided to mix the belief people had about those spirits, with the Balkan belief about magicians.

I want to add that a magician can be interpreted in a different way depending on the people you talk to. We have the good kind of magicians and witches who help the community. But then we have the bad kind (if you are from the Balkans and have seen them, you will know what I'm talking about). So the lore here isn't about the kind Pagans who uplift others. Another thing is how some magicians use the word "enslave" when talking about working with spirits. Even if one doesn't believe in the existence of sprites, it's still so creepy to listen to the way those people talk. It sounds evil in a way.

And I guarantee you that there is a giant difference between talking to a normal witch and talking to a magician like the ones I'm describing.

Another thing is how utterly terrified some people are when it comes to what is considered a bad spirit aka a demon. The amount of horror stories people would tell you about jinns, samodivi and all. I wanted to use it as well.

green carnation because it means mlm

Just a tiny parody of a Shel Silverstein poem, well suited for the nature of both the bad kind of magicians and the spritits they summon.

How not to have to serve magicians

"If you have to give your knowledge to magicians (Such an awful boring chore)

If you have to find a treasure for a magician ('Stead of speeding to the shore)

If you have to use your strength to serve magicians,

but you decide to play stupid or deceive one of them and more,

Maybe they won't summon you to serve them anymore."

What a better way to introduce part of the world I'm writing than this? Oc introduction yay!

The sequel to this comic

Gregson was one of my favorites from the games and I had so many hcs for him. Like, he was the first inspector assigned to Klint and they really bonded during that time. And due to that Gregson has been in Barok's life from a very young age. He was like a middle brother/very close family friend. After the Japanese trio came to Britain, Tobias was meant to tutor Genshin and he did, but sometimes he had to run around London trying to keep an underaged Barok from getting in trouble by sticking his nose into the investigations. I strongly believe that the way he treats Iris is really reminiscent of how he treated Barok back in a day. Meanwhile he also had to keep Herlock and Mikotoba from messing up his crime scenes. After Klint was killed Tobias was destroyed, but pulled himself together for Barok. Gregson was really easy to manipulate, which was perfect for Stronghart. Gregson agreed to this not only out of duty before the great Britain, but also to give Barok some closure
