After dinner mom had gone to sit on the couch and watch the television.
She picked up the the remote and skipped through the channels, hoping to find a comedy.

She really loved to watch comedies and would laugh out loudly when finding something funny. I really enjoy living with my mom. She was a kind and pretty honest person.

I always tried to imagine how it would have been like if dad was with us and not in some place unknown.

After an extensive search mom finally found her comedy. She put the remote next to her on the couch and her eyes focusing on the TV.
I loved seeing her happy.
I walked over to the couch and took a seat next to her.

We watched the comedy until it came to a scene where it shows the bright moon . Then a question popped into my head.
" Mom..." I called her.
" Yes, Ryan." She replied, with out takin her eyes from the screen.
" When is the blood moon going to appear ? "
" Oh..." She said turning over to face me. I could see her face change at the mansioning of the blood moon " Bloodmoom?...Uhm ....uhr... It doesn't appear until next Friday. "
I could see that she felt uneasy and she stared playing with her fingers.
" Wh....w...why do you ask ." She asked me.
" Nothing I was just writing an essay about it and I thought I must ask." I lied . It was not really a lie though , but maybe a little bit.
She looked at me and then looked down at her fingers.
" You know what..." She started.
" I'm just going to tell you this... Uhm uhr....you know when I met your father , I fell in love instantly. We met at a costume party near the beach. He literally came over to me and asked me to dance with him . He had one of the wildest masks I had ever seen and his voice...yes , his voice alone charmed me . It made my heart melt.
After the party he offered to walk me home. Yes , walked and walked until we came to the apartment I was living in at that time. We stood infront of my apartment door and I just glared at him for like two minutes. He still had the mask on.
He than decided to take the mask of and his face was so glamourous and beautiful, it made my heart even melt worse...."

I could see that mom was going all lovey Dovey as she told me this tale of hers.

" He took me by the waist..." She continued and it was getting kind of ...not for me ..
" Ok mom you do not need tell me that part of the story... please."
" Ok Ryan just to put it short and powerful, your father is a god . "

Yep, that was powerful alright, my heart nearly sprang out from my chest.
" So all this gods and demon thing ...I really real. "I asked.
" Yes... you're a demigod Ryan ... And the demons are gonna be after you...they goiti want to kill you before you kill them . "

" So that thing that I saw in the garden at the age of ten was a demon.? "

" Yes, Ryan. "

" Holy shit.. that's dope ..! "

" Ryan, language! "
" Sorry mom , but wow..."
