Finally, Ephus thought, a probability to rest, which he'd been at the hale time. He was starting on his fourth part workweek when he felt titanic mental disturbance a few Swedish mile away.

Ephus reaching out could only shake his brain, ah shag ! Again ? Sighing Ephus parted the cloud as he felt another body fall through a rupture. Shaking his head, he thought of the body appearing before him.

Almost Immediately a grandiloquent long, blonde haired, female appeared before him. Her clothes were almost rags seemingly to have been almost buffeted from her body.

Her eyes were immense as she stared at Ephus, bending on her knee she said,"Þú, þú ert Efus vinsamlegast hjálpaðu."( You, you are Ephus please help."Ephus was about to ask her who she was when she promptly passed out.

shit Ephus thought once More, not again."phloem !"

Less than a instant later Bast appeared a look of worry on her face. `` Husband is all well ? '' Bast Asked then followed Ephus gaze behind her. A hoot issued from her pharynx. `` Nuras ! It is The one called Faria, also known as Freya. The Nuras Goddess of honey. Has she touched you married man ? has she made need ? Shall I end her ? ``

Ephus eyes were wide, damn but phloem was more jealous than he had ever seen her.

'' No Bast, wait you said Freyja ? As in the Norse goddess of love life ? '' Ephus sighed, it was starting out a lot like with the Hellene gods. Bad enough, he could swear that the giant he had met, were trying to do back also.

'' With all that has happened recently, you are just yourself again. I do not wish to risk being as close to losing you as I was. I promise you husband, cipher will hold me back, if this happens again. May I suggest that you, institutionalize her away before she awakes. '' Came Bast 's scathing response.

'' bast, '' Ephus said watching as Bast 's savage look softened at his representative. `` She asked for my help, you know I ca n't reject, when I am asked sincerely. ``

Bast let out a prospicient sigh, `` I know husband, though this, is what started the difficulty last time. I warned you many clock time that the Helenes gods were as they were. The Nuras gods are even more war-like than the Hellenes immortal. If you are to avail them, you will need far more training than you have so far. ``

Ephus head jerked back in electric shock, this was the starting time time that Bast had suggested anything like this. `` I will do all that I can to be far dependable than I am. ``

A sly smile crept onto Bast 's lips. `` I can guarantee, thing will be much, much harder for you this time around. You not only have all you wives fron the Egyptian land, but the four from the Hellenes realm. '' Ephus stared at Bast with a put off looking, Bast shook her head at her husband, at times he was almost clueless. `` All four of them are now with a shaver. ``

'' Four ? I thought ... '' Ephus started.

'' We were informed today that Cynthia is also. '' bast informed Ephus whose look of confusion, rapidly changed to shock, then pride. `` She made it a point to inform all of us herself. ``

'' Shit, I guess I am going to have to be at my salutary before I go into this. You think we could have got Serket look at her ? I do n't want to put tension on her now that she is with child also. '' Ephus told Bast.

'' I do n't recall it will, in fact it might relieve a little focus for her. She has been feeling a short useless now that she is, no-one wants to untune her. This is though, in fact, really upsetting her. '' Bast said as she shrugged.

Ephus thought a moment then nodded. Only a minute later Serket appeared a huge smile on her face.

'' Ah husband, finally one who wo n't treat me as if I am fragile. I ... '' Serket was saying then stopped as she espied the prone form of the almost bare blonde female. Walking to the female Serket walked around touching and observing.

'' Is there need to ... '' Ephus started then quieted when Serket held up a hand.

A few instant later Serket shook her point. `` hubby, she is extremely weak, I am afraid that there 's not much I can do. She needs get-up-and-go or I fear that she will wither to zip. It is a fate most horrible for a god. ``

Ephus nodded then stood, walking to the unconscious female. Laying a hand on the female, Ephus waited a full minute watching as the female 's hide started to radiate a moment. With a nod Ephus removed his manus then stood back as the female started to stir.

A moment later the female dismal eyes snapped unresolved. Taking a deep breathing place, the distaff's oculus opened wider. Looking around her optic settled on Ephus then quickly dropped downward. `` I ... I am sorry noble Ephus I did not imply revilement looking at you. ``

Ephus could only shake his header what in the hell on earth was going on with all them. He does a few good things then he is suddenly feared, revered, almost worshiped ? Oh, hell no !

With a slight suspire Ephus placed a hand under Freya 's Chin, gently lifting her head. `` I am no Lord I am just Ephus, which I would be happy if you called me that. ``

Freya 's oculus went across-the-board as she started to shake off her head no. `` Jehovah sir, story of your daring and deeds have reached even us in the Asgard region. I was sent in the promise that I could find you, then, somehow convince you to return with me. All is not well in the realm, nor with the others. I ... '' Freyja stopped to stare at her paw which was glowing slightly with power.

'' Yes, '' Ephus spoke up, `` you have almost half your power back. I was informed it was the only way to keep up you. ``

Freya 's lip dropped unresolved as she waved her hand making her clothes appear new. She stared a consequence at the clothes, then launched herself at Ephus, knocking him to the footing, where she covered his face with kiss. A present moment later Freya withdrew her self-back from Ephus as phloem was slightly growling.

'' I ... I apologize Almighty Ephus, I forgot myself and who you are, '' Freya stated. Freyja 's header was once again looking at the level. Several dangerous trembling's shook her body. `` Please lord sir, delight do n't punish my hoi polloi because of my stupidity. ``

This of course made Ephus growling, making Freya cringe and seem to try to squinch smaller.

A sigh escaped Ephus sassing as he calmed then said. `` I am not angry with you or your multitude Freya. I am mad at myself that I have made you fear me, it was not my purpose. ``

'' Lord sir, we have heard of the strange top executive that you possess. Many in my realm know that you can turn off almost all power, no one wishes that. '' Freya said this in conclusion said in a whisper.

'' Alright, just let me know what is happening in your land, that way I can plan, not go in knowing nothing. '' Ephus replied.

Freya 's oculus were wide-cut a import, then she nodded as she related all that was happening in her domicile realm.

The encourage Freya got into her narrative, the grimmer faced Ephus got. `` So, you are telling me that, this Loki is at the heart of much that is improper in your realm ? '' Ephus was starting to have a really bad feeling about this.

'' Husband, '' Bast spoke up, `` this has much the Saami ear home run as that trouble you had with are. I am starting to deliver misgivings about this mission. ``

Freya 's head snapped toward bast, a look of concern and worry on her brass at Bast 's words. Was it potential that Ephus might refuse her postulation ? By Odin 's great power she hoped not, especially after Ephus had brought her backrest as far as he had.

Both Ephus and bast fiber turned toward Freya when they both heard a gasp. Freya 's straits, had dropped further as a few rent had escaped her center. A look of worry was now etched on Ephus case at this new maturation. Bast 's face on the former hand, had a pocket-sized smirk as she was staring hard at Freya.

'' Do not be deceived husband, she is will to do almost anything to lay aside her realm. '' Bast whispered snidely.

Ephus turned to stare at bast fiber incredulously, `` almost the Lapplander as you when I helped your realm ? As I remember you came to me, never leave that ! ``

Bast 's face immediately dropped as she realized what she had said. In a low spokesperson bast fiber said, `` I am dingy husband, this time with this child is gruelling than any before. ``

Ephus was about to address when Serket gently laid a hand on bast 's stomach. Ephus and Bast looked at each former as Serket moved around touching many places nodding her head.

'' It is harder as it should be, '' Serket said drawing a curious and refer flavour from both of them. Shaking her head with a sigh Serket continued. `` I am surprised that you did n't feel it sister. You are not with one but TWO piddling ones. '' Serket started to laugh at the look of shock on both Ephus and Bast 's faces.

'' T ... T ... TWO ! '' bast said in an almost silent whisper.

Ephus was also in seismic disturbance what in the snake pit was going on ? As far as he knew, there was no story of ANY twins in his family.

Serket started to laugh harder when the both of them were still in shock. `` Twin gods or goddesses ? Are you sure ? ``

This comment of course had Serket 's boldness tensing up a moment, then it relaxed. `` You are with child so I can forgive you that comment, when dear sister have you EVER known me to be wrong ? ``

Still slightly in cushion bast fiber looked at Serket, `` in well over six thousand years ? Never does an example of you being damage come to bear in mind. ``

'' If that is so, then why do you have cause to doubt me now ? '' Serket said, slight irritation in her voice.

'' sister, '' phloem started, `` it is just that there have been no Gemini the Twins in a very, very long time. You know what happened last time. Do you reckon the others would countenance it ? '' A now seemingly scared Bast said.

Serket 's side took on an wild look as she thought about it. The longer she thought the angrier she got. `` Considering that they are Ephus nipper, plus Ephus is their Father-God, how can they not ? We need to talk to our brother and sisters. ``

'' Perhaps I could ... '' Ephus started.

'' NO ! '' Both female person almost shouted scaring not only Ephus, it also had Freya taken aback. She 'd been trying not to interject any remark, the wholly clip the give-and-take had been going on.

'' If you go to their realm, I suggest you take another good day to school with brother Anhur. It might also help to have Sekhmet in on the training also. '' phloem said as both sisters turned to go, then Bast turned back. `` you also might need to get Enyo involved. They are all war god 's ; it might increase your chances when you go. Though I suggest you get no less than a day before you go, if not then that would get ME mired ! '' bast growled.

Ephus watched as both left then turned to deal with Freyja. `` As you can see, I will not be capable to go for a day or so. '' It was then that Ephus noticed that she was staring behind him. Swallowing toilsome, Ephus turned to see his human being wife Quinn watching him and the blonde female that was with him.

A moment later Quinn walked to him, `` I take it another realm has asked for help ? '' Quinn said with a sigh.

Ephus was about to answer when he felt a slight stirring of top executive. What the hell he thought, looking around he searched everywhere his eyes settling on his homo wife.

'' I am no-account you are so confused. '' Ephus said seeming to surprise Quinn.

'' What are you talking about ? '' A confused Quinn asked.

'' Quinn, you have been blessed by all my Egyptian wives, Thoth, Ra and I suspect Anhur. In all that time I am surprised that it did n't manifest itself sooner. '' A widely smiling Ephus said.

Confused Quinn asked, `` manifested ? What are you on about ? What does the fact that I have been touched and blessed by that many Supreme Being and goddesses have to do with anything ? I mean, I know I am far more than sound and I will live recollective, though null more than that. So, I am confused by this manifesting you are talking about. ``

Ephus smiled wider, `` why my dear, your god tycoon. ``

'' WHAT ! '' Quinn said, as Ephus nodded to her left script, that was slightly glowing. `` Oh my god ! Quinn said as she started to escape from her deal to get it to stop glowing. Then she started to shake it harder when it did n't cease. `` How the hell am I goddess ? I am a human ; I am not understand ! ``

Ephus nodded his understanding as he reached out gently taking Quinn 's handwriting. To her respite her hand slowly returned to a more homo appearance.

'' Now, as I was saying, you have god power. Like me, you, are not really a god or in your case a goddess. As I can feel, you are only at the beginning of it, so at this point, I am unsure as to just how a great deal you will possess. '' Ephus told a more alleviated though still slightly worried Quinn. `` mightiness I suggest that you try not to get upset ? It seems to be a induction the only one I see right now. ``

With a cryptic breath, Quinn nodded, `` I will do my best, though as Bast said, with the most recent issue I am going to ingest a intemperately fourth dimension of that. ``

'' I am blue that I ca n't be of more than help my dear, it seems I have to go back to schoolhouse. '' Ephus said as not only Anhur appeared, so too did Sekhmet. `` Again, it appears that, I am in motivation of your skill and training sidekick. '' Ephus said to Anhur who bowed.

'' As always I am more than than glad to facilitate. '' Anhur said.

Ephus took a deep hint turning to Sekhmet, `` I am also in need of your science in warfare and your disposition to diddle. ``

Sekhmet looked hard at Ephus a thin dividing line to her rim then she nodded. `` The one you are going against makes that which I have done pale in comparing. ``

'' Perhaps, though any advantage I have will greatly aid me. '' Ephus said then turned as a female person appeared behind Anhur and Sekhmet. `` I am pitiful to take you from your rest, as a goddess of war I am also in need of you. ``

Enyo looked at a now smiling Sekhmet and Anhur. `` I will do all that I can though ... '' Enyo started, then her optic flew wide when Ephus touched her paw, then wider when her tegument started to glow.

'' I had wanted to do this sooner ; I am sorry that it took as long as it did. '' Here he turned to both females, `` I am also sorry that the restricting of your power caused you both such pain. ``

'' I have more than than forgiven you husband, our daughter has replaced almost all the pain as has your love. '' Sekhmet said.

Enyo was about to bristle, Ephus had finally restored all her mogul. She knew that she had to give all that she could to him with this training.

For the rest of the day Ephus was in combat with one of the three. Anhur was smiling widely when they finished their second bout. `` You are finally moving as fast as I am. you are the first in a very long time to actually gainsay me, very expert. ``

Sekhmet had been hard pressed to keep up with Ephus, though as clip went on, she too was starting to sense Ephus improve.

'' I hope that this does n't cause you any tenseness, '' Ephus told Enyo.

'' No, if anything it will still any accent I have. '' Enyo said. She started to press Ephus with an entirely different style. A Brobdingnagian smile lit up both their faces as they started to get faster and faster.

Both Sekhmet and Anhur studied Enyo 's fashion, seeing that indeed it was very different. Though Ephus had gone against Enyo and her blood brother before, this new vogue was intriguing.

Soon both Enyo and Ephus were covered in a fine layer of dust. Enyo had nearly caught Ephus unaware a few metre, this had Thomas More than rivet Ephus to the task at script. Finally, as the day was ending all three bowed to Ephus, `` your fastness and skill have indeed increased. '' Anhur said.

'' I just hope that it is sufficiency, the summation of the Hellenic word training technique should facilitate. '' Ephus turned to where Freya was seated nearby. `` Perhaps I should ask her, if she thinks it might aid me ? ``

All three also turned to stare at Freya, `` that might be advisable, brother, '' Anhur said.

Ephus nodded as he advanced to where Freya was. `` I have to ask Freya, do you recollect that the accomplishment I have with the sword will aid me with Thor and the many warriors there in your realm ? ``

Freya looked up a instant then dropped her gaze. `` What I have seen of your skill is startling. To improve as fast as you have is a survey to lay eyes on in deed. When you started, I thought your skill would be far big than it was. It was like watching ou children when they play, though in a day you increased from a tike 's skill greatly. At give you have become deadly, to those in my realm as they are now. ``

'' So, I am feeling that you think I am not skilled enough to perplex any of the warriors of your realm ? '' Ephus asked.

'' I can not lie to you Lord Ephus. '' Freya said. `` You have grown far more deadly than you were, as they are now, I can see you defeating almost all of them. Odin though, I am not so sure of, unfeigned you will earn respect, though not much. '' A sighing Freyja said.

'' Are you fellow with their style ? Can you defend with a sword ? '' Ephus asked.

Ephus backed up a bit when he saw Freya stiffen and tense up, the mad look on her face was n't helping either.

'' I am blue Almighty Ephus, you do not know of my land, as we do let a good deal entropy pass our boundary line. Yes, all are trained with many weapons. '' Freya said still looking at the ground.

Ephus was nodding, `` I, then ask for you to practice with me, in your people 's flair. I would be honored to see and learn it. ``

Freya 's body jerked a moment, the Lord Ephus wished to spar with her ?

Freya stood then bowed, `` I would be most esteemed. '' With that she drew, almost out of the air, a long, double sided sword. The knob appeared to look like a slender crown. The Tang between the pommel and cross-guard was thin and substantial. The cross-guard itself appeared to be a bat with its wings to the position, curved legs on each side of the blade.

Ephus could only stare at the weapon. `` It was a natural endowment from Heimdal, though it is unforesightful than his. ``

Anhur could only nod at the beauty and bodily structure of the sword.

walking to Ephus Anhur drew a sword out of the air as Freya had. `` I think that you are in need of a very weapon blood brother. '' Anhur said handing Ephus a strong, wicked looking, twice edged sword.

With a wicked smile Freyja rapidly advanced on Ephus then seemed to melt. She then appeared a second later swinging her sword at Ephus actually catching him by surprise.

After that initial attack they both seemed to go at it for minute. The sun had already risen for the future day when Ephus called a closure to their sparring.

'' I am glad that we have had a chance to spar. Though I know they are far flying than you, at to the lowest degree now I have an estimate of their fighting. '' Ephus said then was shocked when Freya shook her head.

'' Again, Lord Ephus, you have improved to the full point that you would more than finale against them. I am afraid that you only possess one-half of our proficiency as you call them. I also feel that you would defeat them well-heeled though as I said about Odin, I am still not trusted. ``

'' I have to agree chum, '' Anhur said. `` You are far beyond what you were though watching her, even she can match you. Perhaps you should wait, discipline more ? ``

'' From all that Freya has told me of her realm, they are in far greater motive of me than even the Greek realm. As Freya told me and bast implied, many will fade if I do n't avail soon. '' Ephus explained.

Anhur and Sekhmet both shuddered at the mention of a god fading away. `` I watched it materialise a very retentive time ago. it was a most frightful thing to watch, they were then suddenly, there was nothing of them at all. ``

With a look at a now concerned Freya Ephus nodded. `` I just hope that all I have gained today will avail me more than I think they will. ``

'' I am also hoping so, though, both land going to war to avenge you should chance upon fearfulness in them. '' Anhur said.

Ephus shook his head, from all he 'd read and now felt about them, the Norse idol were going to be More than a pain sensation in the ass ! `` One would think, though you have to remember, they are VERY war like, perhaps twice what the Greek divinity were. ``

Anhur sighed then clasp Ephus shoulder joint, `` be well, we are develop to round to return you. ``

'' We also in my region are prepared to attack, male parent has promised that we will not quit 'til you are safe. '' Enyo said.

Ephus gave a nod to all three then walked to a slightly trembling Freya. `` Shall we go ? I believe I know where your region is. '' Freyja nodded when Ephus laid a hired hand on her arm then a instant later they were in the Scandinavian realm of Asgard.

Ephus looked in all instruction staring at the bleak, cold, desolate, bumpy, dark land. tinker's damn he thought, it is far worse than the Greek realm, here I thought that place was bleak.

It was at that moment he noticed an approaching sound, much like the fluttering of wings. This though seemed from something far larger than birds.

'' We need to go lord Ephus, I fear that the Valkyries are approaching to attack. '' Freya said trying to get Ephus to leave.

When Ephus did n't make a motion Freya turned to stare at what Ephus was focused on. Rapidly approaching were several heaps of furious looking armored female, each wielding their own implike sword. The thing that mainly got Ephus attention was the simple fact that they were flying with their own wings .
