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 disturbance a few miles away.

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

Almost Immediately a tall long, blonde haired, female 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!"

Less than a moment later Bast appeared a look of worry on her face. "Husband 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 love. Has she touched you husband? has she made demands? Shall I end her?"

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

"No Bast, wait you said Freya? As in the Norse goddess of love?" Ephus sighed, it was starting out a lot like with the Greek gods. Bad enough, he could swear that the Titans he had met, were trying to come 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, NOTHING will hold me back, if this happens again. May I suggest that you, send her away before she awakes." Came Bast's scathing response.

"Bast," Ephus said watching as Bast's fierce look softened at his voice. "She asked for my help, you know I can't refuse, when I am asked sincerely."

Bast let out a long sigh, "I know husband, though this, is what started the trouble last 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 them, you will need far more training than you have so far."

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