Ephus pulled again powering up to half, still Gungnir didn’t move, shit Ephus thought, he could feel the full effect of the Remira stone. Even at full power, would it be able to hold for a long time?

I am sorry that you are having to hold as long as you are, I am going to full power, Ephus thoughts said to the Remira.

I have plenty of power Godling, the Remira’s thoughts responded.

Ephus nodded as he went to his full power, this caused both Freya and Göndul to back up slightly. By the power of Odin, this godling was far, far, stronger than they both had thought he was.

This time when he grasped Gungnir, the weapon easily slipped from the arms of the statue. Ephus, smiled as he appeared next to Freya and Göndul.

Ephus touched both the females thinking of Epaphus house. The smile quickly disappeared when nothing happened.

Taking ahold of both females Ephus started running as fast as he could, they had barely closed the door when Ephus felt time start to move at a normal rate.

A worried Freya looked at Ephus, “I thought we were going back as soon as we had it.”

“I attempted to, it appears that the Gungnir, had other ideas. I thought I had matched the energy of Odin, apparently I didn’t. I am going to need a little time, to figure this out. In the mean time, I am sure that Zeus, will be on the war path searching for this. I am also, going to have to power the Remira stone more. Shit! Should have known something was going to go wrong.” Ephus cursed.

Ephus worked the problem of the energy all the first day finally getting it to where it should be. He’d also started to power the Remira stone again, afraid they had used far too much of it’s energy.

Then there was the fact that Zeus was looking everywhere trying to detect where the weapon was. It was apparent that he could still feel its energy, though not where it was.

“Here I thought, I had thought of every contingency, I obviously hadn’t for this one.” Ephus said with a grim look on his face. “It’s only a matter of time before Zeus comes here. I need to mask the weapon better or we will be found out.”

Both Freya and Göndul now had a look of concern on their faces. “I hope that you have some sort of plan, Lord Ephus. You are the only one that can transport us back to our time. Time travel is one thing that any of the gods have, there are after all rules. This is one that no one really wished to break.”

Ephus nodded as his mind started to go over everything that had happened so far. Then there were the new abilities that his ancestor, Epaphus, had taught him. Then again, he hadn’t really practiced them that much, being the need hadn’t arisen.

Ephus was looking at Odin’s weapon they had at the back of the building, when a thought hit him. With a shake of his head, he thought could it be that simple?

Ephus concentrated, then opened his thoughts, Gungnir, may I talk to you?

Shocked thoughts came back to Ephus, I know not who you are, you feel like my partner Odin, though I can see that you are not.

Ephus nodded his head, I am called Ephus, your partner was attacked, put in chains. Control of over half of Asgard has been wrested from him. He threw you to earth to protect you and Asgard, in the process you were transported many years in the past. I was attempting to return you to him.

Again, Ephus felt shock from the weapon’s thoughts. Yes, I can see, I see that you rescued him at great peril to your existence. I thank you for rescuing my partner, Ah! Hello Remira, it has been a long time since we last met.

For the next few moments, Ephus was quiet as the weapon and the stone had a private discussion.

Ephus was in thought again when he heard Gungnir. Sir Ephus, I will do all in my power to aid you in your quest to restore Odin.

Ephus nodded then shifted his thoughts, Remira? I am sending more power to you. Even though you said you didn’t, I can feel that you used over half your power.

This time Remira’s thoughts were shocked, you are rare Sir Ephus, I have never told I could be felt. I hope that I may be able to work with you again, something I will gladly do.

Both Freya and Göndul had once more, a look of concern on their faces. “Lord Ephus? Are you well? You have been quiet for so long.”

“Sorry Freya, Göndul, I was discussing the situation with the Remira stone and Odin’s Gungnir.” Ephus explained. Both female’s mouths dropped open, “I was trying to figure out why his partner refused to help.
