Some of the termanology may be confusing to anyone who isn't familar with Snake Biology if you do have a Pet Snake you should know what Ichabod means by 'Bad Shed'
It was late at night when Ichabod awoke with a start! He had just had a dream, a vision of Morgan, and instantly he understood what it meant, He looked out the window, the moon was concealed by clouds it was probobly midnight, Ichabod knew he had to act quickly, Sliding out of bed as quickly but as quietly as possible, he got dressed, Ichabod hadn't taken off his tighty-whiteys since they returned from Third Earth, he ha, had them down but never off, he had to conceal the Mark that Morgan had placed upon his rear end, but tonight, Ichabod's dream revealed to him the chance to finally get the Mark of Power removed...It would be dangerous, and he absolutely had to do it alone.
Ichabod crept out of the cabin, and towards the gaping hole that connected two different universes, he jumped to Third Earth.
The forests of Northhampton, if it hadn't been for the fact that the Fairies had decided to create Felly Forest where the Northhampton of First Earth once stood then Morgan wouldn't have had the convienant place to create an interdimenstional portal, she wouldnever have had the luck to meet Eleanor, who had wandered allover North America over the course of her life and happened to have the luck to be the closest Mutant Animal when Morgan came to Third Earth, and here, back where her Evil Adventure began,Morgan had returned, she had built a crude shelter for herself out of sticks and rocks.
Ichabod knew he would be tangling with the Fastest Species of Snake, the Deadly Black Mamba...Ichabod knew he would have to be able to dance, faster than she could strike, Ichabod had his Mother's Natural Toxin Immunity, the Venom wasn't the issue, the fact Morgan was Snake as Large as a Human Being meant her teeth could potentially sever an important artery if Ichabod wasn't quick enough.
Ichabod deliberatly snapped a twig with his foot as a way of annoncing himself, Morgan turned to him and glared, for the first time since he met Ichabod saw the Snake-Girl flare her hood, Mambas are relatives of Cobras and the Black Mamba can flare a hood, the Mamba's hood is smaller, less impressive than the Cobra's but Ichabod understood what was happening.
"Well I see you're happy to see me." Ichabod said smugly "I see you had a bad shed too, I see you had a bad shed..." He tried to get his voice to sound as naisly and coddling as possible, talking to Morgan as if she was his pet to get her even more angry
"Oh! Look at you!" Ichabod said as he inched closer and closer "What a bad shed...Your entire head is stuck!"
Morgan stayed still, glaring daggers, but didn't move
"Oh I know I see you postering..." Ichabod said her serpentine tail lay at his feet
"I'm gonna touch your tail." Ichabod said reaching for the end of her tail
Morgan hissed like any Normal Snake and lunged at him, Ichabod anticipated this and jumped away
"A-Ha!" Ichabod chuckled "So...We're gonna play this game huh?"
Morgan's head turned towards her crudly fashioned shelter
"Oh!" Ichabod chuckled "Gonna run for the hut!"
Ichabod touched her back and Morgan hissed loudly again "You don't like your back touched either?" Ichabod taunted
Ichabod grabbed her tail with both and and started to pull "I'm touching your touchas!" He taunted "I'm touching your touchas!"
Morgan decided she had had enough and she wrapped Ichabod in her coils.
Ichabod quickly began to activate the the Power and start moving the plants, he knew what Morgan would do next.
"You Scrawny Worthless Human!"Morgan hissed "I"m what I give of my own free will I can also take away!" She raised her hand and absorbed the Mark of Power back into herself, Ichabod felt a very cold feeling where the Mark once was and knew for sure he was free.
Well free from the Corrupting Mark of Power, he was still trapped in Morgan's coils.
Morgan wrapped the end of her tail over his mouth. "You are hardly a meal, mostly bones...But still you're better than nothing."
Ichabod quickly realized to his horror Morgan was about to eat him, he had to act fast, he bit down hard, he could taste the blood oozing from the end of her tail into his mouth
Morgan screamed bloody murder and loosened her coils Ichabod jumped free
Ichabod laughed and he hopped skipped and jumped away! "I knew it! I knew it!" He laughed "I knew tonight I could get you to remove the mark from my rear! And you'll never be able to hypnotyze into accepting another one again!"
Morgan realized to her horror Ichabod had outsmarted her, that he had played her like a harp, and with her current condtion she couldn't chase after him or cast any spells, in her furry she began to scream and claw at bark and tear off leaves and branches.
Ichabod heard her tantrumming as he reached the portal "Oh!" He chuckled "You're foul!" He laughed as he jumped back to First Earth.
When Ichabod reached the Fellowship's Cabin,he saw Marzipan still asleep in the sofa bed.
"Marzi! Marzi! Wake up!" Ichabod said as quietly as he could as he shook her awake
His beloved Cat-Girl yawned and slowly and gracefully stretched "What is it?" She asked sleepily
"This!" Ichabod exclaimed happily as he pulled down his slacks to share her his Rump, free of any ugly enchanted tatoo "I found Morgan in Third Earth's Forest! Imanaged to get her to get the Mark off me!"
Marzipan mewed with joy and laughed "I don't think any girl in the history of ever has ever been so happy to see a boy's butt!"
Ichabod laughed with Marzi and he leaned in and kissed her cheek , no more needed to be said, he climbed into the bed and threw his arm over her.
