[ There's a very pained and angry cry from Helios' room when Giles leaves. It sounds lonely, deep down, but on the surface it is just suffused and imbued with rage. The door is blown off its hinges as Apep heaves himself through it. Apparently fighting for control all the while. Helios' eyes are long gone and have thus been replaced with Apep's black and red ones. He'll throw a lance of black, crackling, electricity at Giles' fleeing form. But the lightning never connects, as his aim was turned at the very last second. There's just a booming roar from somewhere in the castle and Ra, despite the chains and barriers had broken free. Somewhere amidst all the debris and crackling of the castles walls a large draconian figure will appear from the shadows.

There is a square off between a giant shadowing snake, which has now appeared out of Helios' back, and Ra in his dragon form. Ra will snarl as he faces off with Apep, blood dripping from his woulds in a black pool about his feet. It's in one quick movement, and both of them colliding, a flash of bright white light will erupt from the contact point. The looming living shadows dissolve on contact. And there are snarls and angry hisses coming from the two gods as they fight one another. And as quickly as it starts, it ends. And Ra is maintaining his human form with one hand on Helios' throat, tight enough to leave bruises, while the other rests upon Helios' heaving chest. The light of murder is in Helios' eyes which flicker back and forth between Apep's influence and Helios' pained ones. ]

You will not come to possess him anymore, Apep. You're through, and I will make sure to stop you every time you try to regain your power over this man. [ Apep cackles, despite the lack of air. ]

You'll h-have to kill for that to ever happen, E-mun Ra. And with my d-death his will come swiftly.
