The pile of rotting flesh slowly makes its way over to Apollyon. It moves and acts like a slime, just much slower. Once the Abomination reaches Apollyon's head, it stops and looks at him for a few seconds.
'Grab me by the horns and pull me out of here.' Apollyon says into the mind of the Abomination.
It slowly moves over Apollyon and he can feel its flesh completely surround his head and go into his eye sockets. It is truly unfavorable that Apollyon has to use this simpleton of a creature but it is all that he has got. He has been stuck for about a year now and when a God gave power to the boy it awoken Apollyon. Wanting to give Leon a big 'Fuck you', Apollyon used wind magic to push the boy into the clutches of the Abomination and into his death. Apollyon had spoken into the mind of the Abomination to ensure that it didn't retreat.
Now encased inside of the Abomination fleshy body, Apollyon can feel a sudden force pull up on his horns as muscles inside of the Abomination try to pull him out. A suction sound is heard as Apollyon's head is unlodged from his terrible prison and the rest of his body is pulled out as well and into the body of the Abomination. The muscles go to push Apollyon back out into the open world but he stops it.
'No, carry me to land, I cannot stand in this wretched place.'
After saying this, Apollyon can feel everything around him move and shift, but at a snail's pace. Apollyon remembers that Abominations are failed Magical Beasts that try to spawn in his presence. If there is not enough Chaos then the Magical Beasts amount to this. Apollyon knows that he can pour Chaos into an Abomination and it turns into what it was supposed to be originally but since it can glide over the sludge, he will wait until they are on land.
After what seems to be an eternity inside of the constantly moving flesh, Apollyon can feel himself being pushed out of it. Soon his head pops out of the Abomination's body and Apollyon can see land. Accepting this situation, Apollyon waits until he is fully out of the Abomination before he begins to move. Apollyon lands on the ground with a thud and a crackle as his bones hit each other. He gets up and loosens his bones up a bit with some quick stretches. He looks down at himself and sees that his bones are covered with a thin layer of that slime, giving him a green tint and as he feels his horns, Apollyon can feel moss growing on them.
'Man, I have to really clean myself up. First, I need to find some clothes. I don't have enough chaos to waste to be able to make my cloak.'
Feeling naked, Apollyon looks at his surroundings and see a house in the distance. Apollyon looks down at the Abomination and asks it a question.
'Do you still have the sword that the boy wielded.'
The Abomination doesn't move after Apollyon speaks to it and Apollyon waits patiently for a response. After a minute, the hilt of a sword pops out of the Abomination and Apollyon grabs it. Apollyon pulls it out of the creature and looks at the sword closely. Apollyon takes the sword out of the scabbard and drops the scabbard to the ground.
'It is iron but and it is not that dull. This will do. I will only use my magic in case of emergencies.'
Apollyon abandoned the scabbard since it is too small for him. Apollyon is 8' tall and has the skeleton body of a human. His Ram like head has a horn on each side that curls twice. His eyes are magic bright blue dots that appear in his eye sockets when he is awake and disappear when he closes his eyes or when he is asleep. As Apollyon takes his first few wobbly steps, he can feel himself become more used to gravity and become better at using his body. He slowly but surely makes his way to the house and he looks in from the window.
Inside Apollyon can see two elves. One is much older than the other and they both are holding each other. They haven't seen Apollyon yet so he decides to use this opportunity to surprise them. He bursts through the door, ducking so he can actually fit into it, and charges at the old woman and child. They jump at the sound of the door bursting open and as they turn around their faces are filled with horror. Apollyon pulls his blade into the air but stops mid-swing. The reason he stopped is that the oldest one yelled at the top of her lungs.

"In the name of Leon stop!" She says in a shaky voice.
Hearing the name of his dastardly brother surprised Apollyon and caused him to stop swinging. Apollyon decides to wait and see what this woman wants to say before she is killed. Seeing that Apollyon has stopped, the old woman thinks that this creature that is going to kill her can be reasoned with.
"We are all made by Leon, can't we all just get along?"
A disembodied voice is heard throughout the air and it is laughing. This disembodied voice is Apollyon. He doesn't speak with his mouth and no one has really understood how he is able to speak in the first place, not even Apollyon. What he does know is that this elf is spouting nonsense and it is causing him to laugh very loudly. He decides to indulge the woman.
"Do you not know what I am? I am Apollyon!"
Expecting the woman to be quivering in fear at his name, Apollyon is surprised to see the woman give him a very confused look. The little girl speaks first out of curiosity.
"Who is Apollyon?"
"I have no idea darling."
Seeing as they are not even scared of his name, Apollyon becomes slightly frustrated. Knowing that he has been erased from history, Apollyon shows no mercy as he strikes his blade right into the head of the Grandmother. A cracking sound is heard from her skull as the sword is bashed into her head and blood begins to spray all over the room. Apollyon quickly removes the blade and swings it at the girl. She screams as loud as possible at her impending doom but Apollyon stops right before hitting her head with his immense strength.
The Chaos pouring from the girl is feeding Apollyon and he will squeeze every last bit of it out of her before killing her. She looks up into the eyes of Apollyon and light begins to wrap around the girl and Apollyon is curious about what is going on. The girl continues to cry but the Chaos coming from her stops and the light keeps getting brighter and brighter. Apollyon can sense the power welling up inside of the girl and he jumps backwards and hurriedly starts a magic spell.
Black ooze emits from Apollyon's bones and wraps around his hands. With Apollyon standing in a 'T', he brings his arms together and forms an 'X'. Small dots of black ooze float in the air as it fell off when he made the 'X' and within seconds the black ooze expands. A shield forms in front of Apollyon's skeletal body and he prepares himself. The light is bright enough to blind Apollyon and an explosive force hits the dark shield in front of Apollyon. The explosion comes from the girl as she is overloaded with the God's magic in an attempt to kill Apollyon. The explosion blew the house into millions of pieces that scatter throughout the swamp and the only thing left after the explosion is Apollyon.
A disembodied voice echoes throughout the swamp but it is not Apollyon's
"Man that sucks, I was hoping I'd kill whatever you are, but you are strong aren't you? *giggles* I can keep you as a pet."
As the voice of the woman rang throughout Apollyon's skull he can feel anger build up inside of him. It didn't sound like Victoria or Leon but it sure was cocky. Disappating the shield, Apollyon recalls the black liquid into his bones. Nothing is left of the house and the girl plus the body of the Grandma are both gone. Apollyon is disappointed as he could've gotten more power out of her but since he is being watched he needs to hurry and leave this place. He knows somewhere he can hide and lay low if no one has discovered it yet.
Apollyon turns around to see that the Abomination is slowly crawling towards him. Knowing it will take a little bit for the Abomination to arrive, Apollyon looks for a way out of the swamp entirely but is disappointed in what he sees. The Abomination had brought him to an island and they are surrounded by sludge still. Apollyon's bony fingers touch his face as he facepalms at the situation he is now in.
Apollyon doesn't want to ride in a pile of flesh again so he decides it is time to figure out what this creature was supposed to be originally. He walks up to the Abomination and puts his hand over it. An eye pops out of the Abomination's flesh and looks up at Apollyon's hand, waiting for something to happen. Apollyon hopes that it will turn into something useful as a small drop of black ooze drips from his index finger and directly onto the eye of the creature. The Abomination blinks for a few seconds and then lets out an ear-piercing shriek.
The flesh of the Abomination starts to take shape and Apollyon is happy to see what this Abomination is amounting to. Once the creature is finally coming into its final form, a roar is heard that shakes Apollyon's bones and makes him smile one the inside is heard.
"Perfect."
