Finally, Ephus thought, a chance to rest, which he'd been at the whole time. He was starting on his fourth week when he felt titanic noise a few miles away.

Ephus reaching out could only shake his point, ah fuck ! Again ? Sighing Ephus parted the clouds as he felt another body downfall through a rift. Shaking his psyche, he thought of the body appearing before him.

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

Her eyes were huge 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."BAST !"

LE than a instant later bast appeared a spirit of concern on her nerve. `` married man is all well ? '' bast Asked then followed Ephus gaze behind her. A hiss issued from her throat. `` Nuras ! It is The one called Faria, also known as Freya. The Nuras Goddess of honey. Has she touched you husband ? has she made need ? Shall I end her ? ``

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

'' No Bast, delay you said Freyja ? As in the North Germanic goddess of love ? '' Ephus sighed, it was starting out a lot like with the Hellenic gods. Bad enough, he could depone that the Titans he had met, were trying to arrive back also.

'' With all that has happened recently, you are just yourself again. I do not wish well to risk being as close to losing you as I was. I promise you husband, NOTHING will hold me back, if this happens again. May I suggest that you, place her away before she awakes. '' Came Bast 's scathing response.

'' bast fiber, '' Ephus said watching as Bast 's tearing flavor softened at his part. `` She asked for my help, you know I ca n't turn down, when I am asked sincerely. ``

Bast let out a long sigh, `` I know hubby, though this, is what started the fuss last clock time. I warned you many times that the Helenes gods were as they were. The Nuras gods are even more war-like than the Hellenes gods. If you are to help oneself them, you will need far more train than you have so far. ``

Ephus head jerked back in shock, this was the number one fourth dimension that bast had suggested anything like this. `` I will do all that I can to be far better than I am. ``

A sly smile crept onto bast fiber 's lips. `` I can guarantee, things will be much, often arduous for you this fourth dimension around. You not only have all you wives fron the Egyptian realm, but the four from the Greek realm. '' Ephus stared at Bast with a throw looking at, Bast shook her straits at her husband, at clock time he was almost clueless. `` All four of them are now with a child. ``

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

'' We were informed today that Artemis is also. '' bast informed Ephus whose facial expression of mix-up, 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 best before I go into this. You think we could have Serket looking at at her ? I do n't need to put stress on her now that she is with child also. '' Ephus told Bast.

'' I do n't imagine it will, in fact it might palliate a little emphasis for her. She has been feeling a little useless now that she is, no-one wants to upset her. This is though, in fact, really upsetting her. '' phloem said as she shrugged.

Ephus thought a moment then nodded. Only a here and now later Serket appeared a Brobdingnagian smile on her face.

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

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

A few proceedings later Serket shook her head. `` hubby, she is extremely rickety, I am afraid that there 's not practically I can do. She needs energy or I fear that she will fade to goose egg. It is a fate most horrifying for a god. ``

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

A moment later the female blue eyes snapped open. Taking a cryptic breather, the female person's middle opened wider. Looking around her middle settled on Ephus then quickly dropped downward. `` I ... I am sorry Lord Ephus I did not mean insult looking at you. ``

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

With a svelte sigh Ephus placed a hand under Freya 's chin, gently lifting her oral sex. `` I am no Lord I am just Ephus, which I would be happy if you called me that. ``

Freya 's eyes went wide as she started to escape from her head no. `` Lord sir, tales of your dare and human action have reached even us in the Asgard land. I was sent in the hope that I could find you, then, somehow convince you to take back with me. All is not well in the realm, nor with the others. I ... '' Freya stopped to gaze 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 alone way to keep you. ``

Freya 's rima oris dropped afford as she waved her hand making her clothes appear new. She stared a moment at the dress, then launched herself at Ephus, knocking him to the priming, where she covered his face with kiss. A minute later Freya withdrew her self-back from Ephus as Bast was slightly growling.

'' I ... I apologize Lord Ephus, I forgot myself and who you are, '' Freya stated. Freya 's head was once again looking at the floor. respective severe trembling's shook her organic structure. `` Please lord sir, please do n't penalise my people because of my folly. ``

This of form made Ephus growl, making Freya cringe and seem to try to shrink smaller.

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

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

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

Freyja 's oculus were across-the-board a here and now, then she nodded as she related all that was happening in her home realm.

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

'' husband, '' Bast spoke up, `` this has much the same ear marks as that difficulty you had with are. I am starting to throw suspicion about this mission. ``

Freya 's forefront snapped toward phloem, a feeling of concern and headache on her face at Bast 's Logos. Was it potential that Ephus might refuse her request ? By Odin 's big businessman she hoped not, especially after Ephus had brought her back as far as he had.

Both Ephus and Bast turned toward Freya when they both heard a gasp. Freya 's foreland, had dropped further as a few weeping had escaped her center. A look of care was now etched on Ephus face at this new development. Bast 's face on the other hand, had a pocket-size smirk as she was staring hard at Freya.

'' Do not be deceived husband, she is willing to do almost anything to save her realm. '' bast fiber whispered snidely.

Ephus turned to stare at bast incredulously, `` almost the Saami as you when I helped your land ? As I remember you came to me, never forget that ! ``

Bast 's face immediately dropped as she realized what she had said. In a low voice phloem said, `` I am bad husband, this time with this nipper is knockout than any before. ``

Ephus was about to speak when Serket gently laid a bridge player on Bast 's stomach. Ephus and Bast looked at each other as Serket moved around touching many situation nodding her head.

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

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

Ephus was also in shock what in the infernal region was going on ? As far as he knew, there was no history 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 grade had Serket 's font tensing up a instant, then it relaxed. `` You are with child so I can forgive you that comment, when dear sister have you EVER do it me to be incorrect ? ``

Still slightly in shock bast looked at Serket, `` in well over six thousand year ? Never does an illustration of you being ill-timed come to mind. ``

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

'' Sister, '' Bast started, `` it is just that there have been no twins in a very, very long time. You know what happened close time. Do you retrieve the others would let it ? '' A now seemingly scared bast said.

Serket 's cheek took on an wild look as she thought about it. The longer she thought the angrier she got. `` Considering that they are Ephus children, plus Ephus is their father, how can they not ? We need to spill the beans to our sidekick and sisters. ``

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

'' NO ! '' Both female almost shouted scaring not only Ephus, it also had Freya taken aback. She 'd been trying not to interject any comment, the whole fourth dimension the word had been going on.

'' If you go to their realm, I suggest you take another full day to train with blood brother Anhur. It might also avail to cause Sekhmet in on the grooming also. '' bast said as both sisters turned to go, then bast fiber turned back. `` you also might want to get Enyo involved. They are all war god 's ; it might increase your chances when you go. Though I suggest you get no lupus erythematosus than a day before you go, if not then that would get ME take ! '' bast fiber growled.

Ephus watched as both left then turned to make do with Freya. `` As you can see, I will not be able to go for a day or so. '' It was then that Ephus noticed that she was staring behind him. Swallowing knockout, Ephus turned to see his man wife Quinn watching him and the blonde female that was with him.

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

Ephus was about to resolve when he felt a cold-shoulder stirring of power. What the hell he thought, looking around he searched everywhere his middle settling on his human wife.

'' I am grim you are so upset. '' Ephus said seeming to surprise Quinn.

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

'' Quinn, you have been blessed by all my Egyptian wives, Thoth, Ra and I suspect Anhur. In all that sentence 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 gods and goddesses have to do with anything ? I mean, I know I am far more healthier and I will live long, though zippo more than that. So, I am confused by this manifesting you are talking about. ``

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

'' WHAT ! '' Quinn said, as Ephus nodded to her left-hand hand, that was slightly glowing. `` Oh my god ! Quinn said as she started to agitate her hand to get it to finish glowing. Then she started to shake it harder when it did n't blockade. `` How the blaze am I goddess ? I am a human ; I am not realise ! ``

Ephus nodded his intellect as he reached out gently taking Quinn 's bridge player. To her relief her hand slowly returned to a more human appearance.

'' Now, as I was saying, you have god power. Like me, you, are not really a god or in your instance a goddess. As I can experience, you are only at the outset of it, so at this point, I am incertain as to just how much you will induce. '' Ephus told a more ease though still slightly vex Quinn. `` Might I suggest that you try not to get upset ? It seems to be a initiation the only one I see right now. ``

With a deep breathing space, Quinn nodded, `` I will do my dependable, though as Bast said, with the most Holocene epoch events I am going to have a hard prison term of that. ``

'' I am sorry that I ca n't be of more 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 demand of your skill and training brother. '' Ephus said to Anhur who bowed.

'' As always I am more than sword lily to aid. '' Anhur said.

Ephus took a deep breath turning to Sekhmet, `` I am also in need of your skill in war and your propensity to meet. ``

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

'' Perhaps, though any advantage I have will greatly aid me. '' Ephus said then turned as a female appeared behind Anhur and Sekhmet. `` I am sorry to take on you from your residue, 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 eyes flew wide when Ephus touched her helping hand, then wider when her skin started to glow.

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

'' I have Sir Thomas More than forgiven you husband, our girl has replaced almost all the pain as has your sexual love. '' Sekhmet said.

Enyo was about to bristle, Ephus had finally restored all her power. She knew that she had to feed 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 1st in a very hanker meter to actually challenge me, very good. ``

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

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

'' No, if anything it will relieve any stress I have. '' Enyo said. She started to compact Ephus with an entirely dissimilar style. A huge smile lit up both their faces as they started to get faster and faster.

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

Soon both Enyo and Ephus were covered in a fine bed of dust. Enyo had nearly caught Ephus unaware a few times, this had more than than focused Ephus to the task at mitt. Finally, as the day was ending all three bowed to Ephus, `` your speed and science have indeed increased. '' Anhur said.

'' I just hope that it is enough, the addition of the Greek word training techniques should serve. '' Ephus turned to where Freyja was seated nearby. `` Perhaps I should ask her, if she thinks it might aid me ? ``

All three also turned to gaze 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 science I have with the brand will aid me with Thor and the many warriors there in your kingdom ? ``

Freya looked up a moment then dropped her gaze. `` What I have seen of your science is startling. To improve as fast as you have is a sight to behold in deed. When you started, I thought your science would be far greater than it was. It was like watching ou children when they play, though in a day you increased from a nipper 's skill greatly. At exhibit 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 beat any of the warriors of your kingdom ? '' 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 for certain of, true you will garner respect, though not much. '' A sighing Freya said.

'' Are you companion with their style ? Can you fight with a brand ? '' Ephus asked.

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

'' I am sorry Almighty Ephus, you do not experience of my realm, as we do let much data pass our borders. Yes, all are trained with many weapon system. '' Freya said still looking at the ground.

Ephus was nodding, `` I, then ask for you to practice with me, in your people 's expressive style. 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 respect. '' With that she drew, almost out of the air, a foresighted, double sided blade. The knob appeared to front like a slender crown. The piquancy between the pommel and cross-guard was lean and strong. The cross-guard itself appeared to be a bat with its wings to the sides, curved legs on each side of meat of the blade.

Ephus could only stare at the weapon system. `` It was a gift from Heimdal, though it is shorter than his. ``

Anhur could only nod at the beauty and social organization of the sword.

Walking to Ephus Anhur drew a sword out of the air as Freyja had. `` I think that you are in need of a real arm brother. '' Anhur said handing Ephus a firm, revolting looking, twofold edged sword.

With a wicked grin Freya rapidly advanced on Ephus then seemed to disappear. She then appeared a moment later swinging her sword at Ephus actually catching him by surprise.

After that initial flack they both seemed to go at it for hr. The sun had already risen for the next day when Ephus called a stop to their sparring.

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

'' Again, Creator Ephus, you have improved to the degree that you would more than last against them. I am afraid that you only possess half of our techniques as you call them. I also feel that you would defeat them promiscuous though as I said about Odin, I am still not sure. ``

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

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

Anhur and Sekhmet both shuddered at the cite of a god fading away. `` I watched it happen a very retentive time ago. it was a most atrocious affair to look out, they were then suddenly, there was aught of them at all. ``

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

'' I am also hoping so, though, both realms going to war to avenge you should expunge reverence in them. '' Anhur said.

Ephus shook his headspring, from all he 'd scan and now felt about them, the Norse divinity were going to be more than a pain in the ass ! `` One would think, though you have to call back, they are VERY war like, perhaps twice what the Hellenic language gods were. ``

Anhur sighed then clasp Ephus shoulders, `` be well, we are prepared to lash out to return you. ``

'' We also in my kingdom are prepared to attack, father has promised that we will not stop '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 realm is. '' Freya nodded when Ephus laid a hand on her arm then a moment later they were in the Norse realm of Asgard.

Ephus looked in all directions staring at the bleak, frigidness, desolate, rocky, dark land. red cent he thought, it is far uncollectible than the Hellenic language realm, here I thought that home was bleak.

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

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

When Ephus did n't move Freya turned to gaze at what Ephus was focused on. Rapidly approaching were respective rafts of angry looking armored females, each wielding their own wicked sword. The matter that mainly got Ephus attention was the simpleton fact that they were flying with their own offstage .
