Cerverous stood, eyes glued to the intruder in his realm. "you" he lifted his hand and brought it down on the head of The Abyssal, shoving her farther down the spike. "you arrogant little shit." he took a step toward Mackie and a piece of his soul broke off: the vampiric piece, characterized with red eyes and highlights. as this piece walked over to Xio, the other continued its advance on Mackie, the other threat momentarily neutralized "you dare think a pathetic little soul feeder like you can challenge the god of your own game? in his own back yard!?" throwing his hand up as if slapping someones lunch tray into their face lifted the things leg off the ground and threw him into the air. the hand went down and the air itself complied with a drill straight through him. Cerverous closed his fist and the ground volunteered to wrap itself around the fallen deformity and hold him in place. "such a weak soul. broken. lacking. im sure you have some way of getting out of this. go ahead with it" his voice carried a heavily bored tone to it and he adopted an according stance.
at the same time, the red piece walked up next to Xio and dropped to a crouch. he began to stroke the hair back behind her ear gently and with a tiny smile. "why are you so afraid. you are in a place where i am most powerful. in a place where i stand without equal and time runs differently, runs independently of the other worlds. unless you know something i dont, there should be no reason for you to trust the danger he posses over the safety i promise."

After spending time watching the Obeahman it took her quite the time to look away from him and to the red piece. Her lips were dry, not that she could feel them but the fear was leaving a sour taste in her mouth, of that much she was sure. Eyes wide and horror struck were set upon the face of the red piece whose fingers caused a slight calming effect to wash over her being. She was safe here, he had promised it. Hadn't he? "Y-you....you left me...You left me in his hands...In her hands..." all the things she hadn't wanted to say were coming out now, her eyes flickering wildly between the red piece and Mackie. As Cerverous punched him into the air, his limbs clacking together like a marionette the thing gave a wheezing laugh. But this Mackie wasn't like the one they had faced before, whatever he had become it was something different and another version of the Obeahman came to stand behind Xiomara and with his stitched lips, which pulled against the string, slid into a knowing smile. His fingers reached into her hair and she shuddered as well as began to flicker, the way her spirit seemed to undulate were as if Mackie were sucking her very essence into itself.
The first body remained in Cerverous' fist, but this second seemed more real than the other and much more dangerous with the way it touched at her hair; as if knowing she belonged to him. Suddenly he releases her spirit's hair and crouches down to her physical body, reaching into the substantial world and ripping several strands of her hair free, bringing them to his disfigured nose and inhaling the scent the way a bloodhound would for its hunting party.

there was a snap. a loud one. and suddenly the pieces of his soul were switched. the red had become white and the white had become black. the black piece turned away from the whole seen with a sickly amused grin took a grip around the Abyssal with his free hand. his grip slowly closed around her throat and her form began to absorb into his. "you will leave her alone. entirely. if not, you will die" he closed his hand and the shade shattered into nothing as he turned to the first Mackie, swept his left hand across his chest, and the body became consumed by a swarm of black mouths that spawned from the ground beneath it.
at the same time the now white Cerverous rolled his furious eyes onto the second Obeahman and slid both his arms around Xiomaras shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug. without even a pause her soul became vacuumed into his body, the links to Mackie severed immediately by invisible blades so he would not be absorbed as well. Cerverous stood, now useing his own body as the god of souls for a protective shell, and as he did the Obeahmans jaw began collapsing. only the jaw, how he hated that smile of his. with a pause at the extent of his height he swung his hand at full speed and the strands of Xios hair found themselves in his grip because Mackies hand was unsurprisingly gone. Cerverous was on the verge of loosing his temper already, but he knew what would happen if he did and would probly just make things worse.

"Go ahead and kill me, the moment I die you leave her at the hands of the voodoo man, do you honestly think I wouldn't take out an insurance policy?" The Abyssal's gurgling laughter would continue to ring throughout their ears until she disappeared. As for Mackie, he was swallowed from Xio's view the moment she was sucked into Cerverous' body. Within the walls that kept her safe, she managed to calm down and rest for a few brief moments. Hearing everything that was going on outside, she was comforted by the fact that it could not reach but worried that something would happen to Cerverous.
Soon enough however, Mackie would fade and though his jaw had been destroyed and his fingers had also been shattered the man still grinned and it was noticeable by the shape his stitched over eyes took. And as Cerverous had done with the abyssal, Mackie had shared the same fate; preserved only by something that seemed to continue to link him to Xio.

from the very spot where his hand was removed, the Obeahman began to fade. his flesh caught fire and burned a blazing white until nothing remained. Cerverous half turned to his black soul shard and prayed that it would not again refuse to rejoin him. The Abyssal King smiled back at him before it burst into a black mist and slithered its way through the air to meet him, phasing into his body and noticeably darkening his presence like someone had shut a random light off in an office building.
Cerverous' arm turned black once again and he took a slow look around before tapping a finger to the center of his chest "you ok in there?"

Covered her ears at the sound of Cerverous' tapping finger and glared at nothing in particular, this was creepy, she was finally beginning to understand where she was at and it honestly creeped her out. "Hey! Yes I'm fine. Can you PLEASE get me out of here? I'm freaking out. I want my own body.... Hey, Cerverous....talk about the irony in "a woman trapped in a man's body"..." the giggling the followed her tirade was a sure sign that she was either losing her grip on reality or at least beginning to.

"funny" he sounded expect-ably unamused as he reached his hand out and took hold of her physical one. the result: Xio's soul was sucked back into her body like a bolt of lightning. this was followed by the scene exploding away as its host returned to his in a similar fashion.
back on the physical plain, as time 'resumed' Cerverous stood behind Xio ready to catch her as being out of her body even for a few seconds would cause anyone to fall on the return, especially first timers.

Rolled her spirit eyes even though he couldn't see it, about to take a crack at him about how he needed to lighten up when her body was suddenly rushing at her. The physical and incorporeal became one in a pretty lightning show, but she hit it like a brick wall. It sent her flying back, once she was in the physical realm. Groaning her back hit against Cerverous chest and she rubbed at her head, blinking her eyes several times. "Stop.....doing.....that...God it hurts..." All of her muscles had spasmed at the same time and she felt as though she had been working out non-stop for two days. The audio and the visual all seemed so LOUD as she experienced hyper sensitivity for a few minutes while her body and soul became used to one another once more.

he stood silently looking down at her hair, his hand moved up to her shoulders and he smoothed the blood in her body, moved oxygen about, and other technical things that resulted in easing the burning and hyper sensitivity quicker than it would have otherwise. when this was done he spoke. "if i don't do it that way then it will basically fuck something up royally in how you soul and body link together. like slowing down a bullet would stop it from actually hurting what it hits, see?" his hands snaked there way fully around her before he spoke again "we really need to find out how to rid ourselves of mister voodoo. cause if we don't, hes just gonna keep being annoying... and apparently we cant kill the abyssal or hell just rush in and get what he wants"

Her labored breathing began to ease as did the pain when he distributed oxygen to her starving muscles. Leaning back against him for support she rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at the sky, feeling more or less like putty. Her skin crawled at the mention of Mackie but she was comfortable enough with Cerverous around the she simple rested her arms atop his. "Erebus and I are going to my home.. There's a witch there who knows how to get rid of Mackie for good.... I've...invited Kenshu too. This is the only way Cerverous, if you can behave yourself....I'd... I'd like for you to come with me. You're the only one who can keep him at bay for long periods of time...Please?" There was a sense of begging in her tone, something she wouldn't have done unless she was desperate. And even then she would have to have no other options in order to be asking anything from him at all.

Shrugging she continued to stare up at the sky, she didn't want to move from here. Moving meant facing many things she would rather remained in the dark. "I guess I don't have to, but I feel like everything you do when it comes to me puts you in further danger and... I don't have anything to return the favor with. I can't help that I only come to you when I have no other choice."

I am so happy to see that
