Player Event - Chaos Plot

[folklorist]

Who: Helios and pretty much everyone who replied to this post
What: The demon god Apep which affixed itself to Helios’ soul has awoken.
When: August 6th-9th
Where: Starting around house 44 then mainly around town and the woods
Summary: Basically Helios gets possessed and causes all sorts of chaos and destruction that the evil god, Apep, is known for causing!
Rating: R for lots of violence



[ It’s strange how the twist of events of a simple evening walk could change much of everything. In an instant, that was Luceti’s way of things, changing things in an instant. And Helios never even saw it coming. There were still parts of that night and parts of his soul that he never truly understood. But there were always ways of finding out. They say hands on experience is one of the best ways of learning. And this is a lesson he and several others won't soon forget. ]

[ A snarl as Apep drew his hand back and slammed it into Harry's jaw. Not enough to break it but certainly enough to leave a nice bruise in the morning. ] Do not assume I would be afraid of you, mage. I see through your lies and petty tricks.

[ An angry hissed retort as he moved ever closer. A smile formed on his features then. ] You would be more use to me alive.

[ And then almost like the onset of a very bad cold Harry will feel something odd and extremely off about his magic and energy in general. Apep just watches with amusement as the effects of his draining curse take a hold of the other man. ]

... I could barely see his hand moving before I wound up on the ground. Christ, that was gonna hurt in the morning.

I turned and got ready to climb to my feet, but he was already above me, leering in a way that didn't make me feel terribly confident...

...and then I felt... something. It was like the attack before, but worse, far worse. I felt the life being drawn from my body. The power. The energy. The very essence of me.

I knew what this felt like because, strangely enough, it wasn't the first time this had happened to me. I'd had chunks of my soul taken twice, and spent a chunk a few more times. The first happened when I was attacked by the ghost of an angry warlock, who devoured my essence and then used it to walk around with my face. The second was when Madeline Raith, a vampire of the White Court, had kissed me and taken a bite out of my soul.

And the third... was with Soulfire. And I swear, it was just fucking typical that one of the few times Soulfire would have been useful, I couldn't access it.

I'd tried. One of the first things I'd done, when I came to this place, was to access Soulfire. There was nothing there. It made sense- the guy I got it from was in another dimension right now. But it was still a pain in the ass.

"... I-if you... leave me alive... I will stop you. A-and if you kill me... I will weaken you... and then somebody else will s-stop you."

If there is someone that can then I will be ready for them. No one will stop me, not when I reside within this body. To kill me meant killing him as well. [ He was like a parasitic leech, replacing the spot where Elise once was. The two of them were like festering wounds to each other. Unable to escape, unable to live without the other. ]

You will never be rid of me, for I reside within this pathetic mortals soul now. [ A flash of a twisted grin as Harry will feel his energy and life force being yanked from his body. ]

And perhaps I'll come back for you to draw you to my side. Your powers would be quite resourceful. [ As if stood he couldn't turn anyone just yet. But with this extra boost of energy and several other's he was to drain that night it would be possible. He'll grab Harry by the neck and slam him into the ground. ] I'll enjoy seeing it. Seeing you attack everyone you ever cared enough about to protect.

Hmm. Hope you don't mind me doing this, it's mostly a whim.

I had to laugh at that, even if the lack of energy and the second stun of impact made it hard to stay conscious.

"Wh... what is i-it... with you... m-megalomaniacal assh-holes... always trying to... r-recruit me."

I forced together my willpower. I had nothing left in me, no spells, no tricks, barely even the energy to speak.

So I did the only thing I could to show my defiance- and, maybe, to provoke him into killing me and make the way for my death curse.

I screwed up my face and spat at him. More blood than spit came out, but I figured he'd get the point.

unacceptable! How dare yooou! >:[

[ And here Apep will snarl and hiss, stepping away lightly at the action Harry directs towards him. Spitting. It was one of those actions that spiritually pained him. His temper flared to an almighty high and he was about to kick the other man in the ribs before it subsided. ]

Because you are a close friend of his. And you are a mage, I despise your kind! You would do well for serving under me. [ A smile. ] And it would cause him tremendous pain to see you as so. I'd like to see it, very much. But for now...

[ And then with one swift kick into his ribs Harry might see Apep turn away and stalk off back into the night, having no other use for the other man yet. ]
