The Distorted God Apophis opened its mouth wide as it attempted to swallow the vessel. The vessel of Apophis, Thueban, woke up just as she was about to be swallowed by the Distorted God Apophis. She wanted to run away but she could not move her body as if something was inhibiting it.
"No!" Thueban screamed as she could only lament how she has always been unlucky all her life.
She was always on the losing end and never the winner. For the first time in her life, she wanted to be someone that lives her life for her and become someone that can stand up for herself. All her life she had to endure countless mishaps that made her life incredibly miserable.
"To think that a mere vessel would cry out. No one would save you here girl because I know what you are thinking." The Distorted God Apophis stated as it stopped trying to swallow Thueban as she suddenly created some sort of mental resistance towards the Distorted God Apophis.
The Distorted God Apophis knows that it cannot just go into its vessel if there is something going on with her. Thueban was suddenly fighting for the last shred of humanity and hope left in her which actually repelled the mental attack of the Distorted God Apophis. There could be mental damage to both the god and the vessel if either one of their psyches is not stable.
"I will not let you do anything to me, vile serpent! This is my own body, and I am not your vessel!" Thueban shouted as something in her body erupted. It was a power that did not come from the Distorted God Apophis, but something innate that is only for Thueban.
"You might be feisty, but do you wish to know why your life is like that? I made sure that it will be like that. I am the cause of your miserable and challenging life because I was the one that created your lineage in the first place." The Distorted God Apophis stated as Thueban cannot believe the snake in front of her.
"Liar! My mother always said that snakes would be helpful, but she also lied and died too quickly. She told me that she would always be by my side, but she is no longer here today. Which means anything that came out of her mouth is but a lie." Thueban stated as she was unconsciously releasing a mental barrier around her which made it difficult for the Distorted God Apophis to enter her mind.
The Distorted God Apophis needs to both takeover her body, mind and spirit. The Distorted God Apophis could easily devour the body by taking over it forcefully, but the mind is a tricky maze even for gods. One hint of rejection or an unknown event happening would make the mind unstable.
The possession of the mind is also related to the possession of the spirit. If the mind is not stable, then the spirit would also wane. If something bad happens then both Thueban and the Distorted God Apophis would fight for the control of the body as the mind and spirit is not stable.
"Your mother might be dead, but I do not lie. Your lineage goes way back to the first being that I possessed and used to create a progeny. I even sacrificed some of my own divinity to make sure that only one child per generation would be born to control it or else the other gods would be able to see through what I had done.
Did you know that it is taboo for gods to use mortals or lay with mortals without their consent? I actually remember one powerful god that did that always back then when it was not yet a rule. He really took the fun out of everyone which is why they are no longer part of the main world.
Did you not wonder why you are powerful in the darkness? You not dying even though you wanted to kill yourself? Why you were able to live despite bot being in perfect condition? It is my blessing that made you able to live which is why it is only right for me to claim what is mine." The Distorted God Apophis stated.
Thueban could not believe what the serpent in front of her has stated because all of those details were on the back of her mind since she was a child. She would always wonder why serpentine monsters would actually avoid her when they had the perfect chance to kill her or when she is great at hiding in the darkness.
She always thought that it must be something that her family has carried as her mother was the same as her. She always believed that she inherited it from her mother, but it was actually from the being front of her if she were to truly believe. She refused to believe it though as she had strengthened her mental fortitude for years of being under constant problems.
"You cannot break a child's mind like that. Do you wish for me to aid you this time as well? I would make it free of charge because I am quite entertained with what I have seen just now." The God Loki stated as he suddenly appeared beside Thueban and grabbed her shoulders.
"Mind games are not my specialty but if you are to help then I would appreciate it as we are allies. Just make sure not totally break her mind as I do not want a vegetable as a vessel." The Distorted God Apophis stated which made the God Loki smile.
Thueban refused to concede in front of the beings in front of her as she knows that her will is the only thing that is keeping her alive. She even mustered whatever moisture is left on her throat and spat at the God Loki when he came closer. The God Loki did not find delight on the provocation of the girl.
The God Loki actually wanted to take his time to slowly weaken the mental barriers of the girl, but her action made him reconsider. The God Loki suddenly created a small ice shard that seemed to be illusory. The small ice shard was freely floating in the air as it crackled with a dark and sinister cloud.
The God Loki forcefully opened Thueban's mouth as he jammed the small ice shard inside of the girl's mouth. Thueban wanted to scream and flail about, but she was not yet in control of her body. If one with ocular skills looked at her then one would see that she is being held by a slithering serpent body which makes her unable to un or move.
"Have good dreams. I collected that shard from the tears of a frost giant and those large dumb beings are difficult to tear up." The God Loki stated as a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Thueban's whole body could be seen to be covered in a layer of frost that made her tanned skin pale white. Her eyes darted to the back of her head while she released muffled cries but unable to scream loudly. She was experiencing her most traumatic memories over and over again in a span of one second.
"She is actually holding on quite well for a human vessel." The God Loki stated as ten seconds have passed but it already felt like ten days for Thueban.
"MhmamH!" Thueban cried.

"Did you hear that?" Levin Cloud asked as he suddenly heard a cry for help.
"We did not hear anything though. Are you sure it is not just a hallucination due to the fact that you got poisoned earlier?" Creepysoo asked as the image of Levin Cloud's melting hand is still fresh in his mind.
"If you guys did not hear it then it must have been someone dying or wants to die." Levin Cloud stated.
"This is the western continent. Death is not a weird thing here." Peridot stated but she was still worried for Levin Cloud which is why he checked up on him.
"That should be for later. We need to dig to the bottom now or else the lost of his arm would be for nothing." Solstice stated as she pointed towards the sands below them.
"I would need some assistance. Help me?" Levin Cloud stated as he looked towards Peridot.
"You do not need to worry as the elements are my thing." Peridot stated as she puffed her chest.
"If that is the case then do it in two minutes." Solstice stated with a serious face.
"But…" Peridot stated but Solstice raised her brows.
"Fine!" Peridot stated as she took out a mythical tier gemstone that she was saving up as it was actually an emerald. A mythical tier emerald could be sold for at least two thousand gold coins but she already boasted about herself which means there is no turning back.
