Another Welcomed Guest Ch. 09

Hera could only look at her hand a few moments, then felt her power increasing inside her. "I thought that if you were almost as high as Zeus, you could help more with what I feel is coming."

"What is coming?" Hera asked with all of them staring at Ephus.

"Yes, as I explained to your brothers and sister. I feel that now I have hurt and stopped Ares twice, I am sure that he has changed his plans to come after me. With you and Zeus as high as you are, you stand a better chance against him." Ephus explained.

Zeus and Hera both seemed to be in deep thought a few moments. Finally, they both looked up at Ephus. "It will most certainly aid in keeping him at bay." It was at that moment that, Zeus noticed the scabbard on Ephus' belt. Then he gasped when he recognized it. "By all the realms!" He stated in an almost whisper, as he pointed to the sword in the scabbard. "How did you gain the sister sword to the Caspian God Killer?"

Ephus' head snapped up to stare at Zeus. "This was a gift from Anhur, he felt that I might need it if I met Ares. Ares it seems has a propensity for weapons, for him the deadlier the better."

Zeus was nodding as was Hera, they might not have seen Ares in hundreds of years, they still knew him.

"No matter how you gained it, you might have just saved yours and our existence," Zeus stated.

"I don't know how you can say that father." A familiar voice stated behind all of them.

Ephus smirked then turned, not surprised to see Ares with a black colored metal, sword.

"So finally tired of hiding like an insect Ares? I would have thought better of the dunce of war." Ephus stated a small smile coming to his lips, good he thought Ares is mad as hell.
