"In that case, can you find him, bring him here?" Indra asked.

"I could for now, though he'd be far more angry than he is right now. That I could handle, you no. I am afraid he'd destroy you and this realm. I can speak to him, though it is you that has angered him the most. You are going to have to apologize to him and mean it, if not? Then forget it, Ephus explained.

Indra's face got angry again, causing Ephus to sigh again. "You want me to apologize to him?"

Ephus' eyes narrowed at Indra, "you are about ten seconds from me leaving and saying screw you. You're almost as bad as Zeus was, that, was a stubborn god."

Indra's anger drained almost as fast as it had appeared. "I will accept all and any help that you can provide." This time Indra's head was slightly bowed. It's about time, Ephus thought.

Now Ephus thought I just have to find him and get him to listen. I need to get him as far away from people as I can. After a few minutes, he found me, though at the time I didn't know it.

Nor did I know that he could feel just how pissed off at him that I was. Yeah, I was as mad as I could be at my supposed father and the bastard god that had rejected everything I had done.

I was still running, though now I was on foot trying to get out of the old neighborhood. When I made it I was damn near exhausted, though I was further into the city. Great out of the crapper and straight into the septic tank.

I finally caught a ride to the city edge, at least now, not as many would be killed if the Danavas attacked me. I just hoped that they didn't it'd be a beacon to all the rest of them.

So, I was out of the city, though nowhere far enough for me. It appeared that all of the gods and I guess demons if that's what you could call them.

I know for a fact that they were pissed as hell that I had managed to kill three of them. I mean, come on, I don't really care if they weren't alive if I killed them.

Yeah, so here I was this supposed demi-god. It appeared that all the Hindu gods were pissed at me as well as the Hindu demons. I had no family, especially that no account, supposed father of mine.

I could understand that mom never told him about me. As close as they were, how did he have no idea? Oh, mom was damn good at hiding things, so, OK.

He had a thousand things that he had to do, so not a lot of time for me. I immediately stopped my anger growing to new heights, son of a bitch! He hadn't even tried to connect with me.

Here I thought that family was all to him. Damnit! I hadn't noticed that my power was starting to grow and leak out.

Neither did I really give a shit as my anger went far beyond before. I think that every one of the demons who showed up learned that instantly.

"Ah, there you are! Prepare to die," the first one said.

I growled out in a very low voice, "leave why you still can."

They suddenly took notice when I pointed at five of them, and they burst into flames, then dust.

"What have you done!" One bigger than the other nine said.

"The same I will to you, leave!" I yelled at it, driving from the sky into the ground hard.

My anger by now, was an almost burning heat within me. I pointed toward another five who suddenly weren't there anymore.

The four of the last five grabbed the biggest one, then vanished. Ah shit! I could feel the gods and goddesses moving toward me. I thought of somewhere else as I let my power drop.

I appeared a hell of a lot further away from the city. Less than a minute later, Kali, Rohini, Indrani, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva appeared.

All of them were pretty upset that they had missed me again. They could all feel that something had happened here, though they weren't sure.

Vishnu and Shiva were sniffing the air with shocked looks on their faces. "It appears that several Asuras were destroyed here," Shiva said. This had all of them shocked.

"Was it Robert?" Kali asked, a look of slight fear on her face.

Shiva went around the area noticing ten little piles of what appeared to be heavy dust. He immediately backed up, staring at the piles.

"I have never seen the destruction of a god or Danavan. Those, those piles are all that is left of ten Asuras," Shiva said, looking at a very concerned Kali.

"I was afraid that this was going to happen. All of you had doubts about him, no trust at all, to think what he did for all of us. We, myself included, treated him as if he was the most foul thing on this world. I am ashamed of how I treated him, as I am now aware that Rohini and Indrani are," Kali said, her head down.

Indrani turned towards Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, "we are going after him. We at least have a chance to bring him back. I suggest that you also look though, if you find him, call us. It appears he is far stronger than he ever was," Indrani said.

A moment later, they all vanished into two groups heading in different directions.

I had no idea what was actually going on except that I had both groups hunting for me. Probably more the demons or whatever they were called, more now that I had destroyed another ten of them.

I was a little worried though, the bigger of them had more power than it had let on. I felt that if I went against it, I wouldn't come out all that good.

I decided I needed to keep moving, though I was afraid that sooner or later they were going to catch up to me again. I just hoped that I could get far enough away when they killed me that no one else was hurt or killed.

I found a few rides going as long as I could. Finally, I was out in th middle of nowhere, now I thought let them come. What happened next was unexpected.

I had thought I was far enough away and hidden that no one would bother me. I should have known that the sperm donor would find me.

I had just sat down to try and rest a bit when he popped in. Then dear old dad tried to freeze me big mistake.

I was at full power in less than a second, blasting dad across the landscape. "After what, you did you expect me to be happy to see your ass?" I yelled.

Instead of talking, he popped in front of me again with the same result. This time though, I kept the power pouring on as I felt him getting further and further away.

This time he appeared further away, looking a little crispy, and served him right. "I suggest that, unless you want to stay that way, you leave," I yelled at him.

"I don't want to fight son, I," he started.

"I am NOT your son you lost that right when you walked away and didn't even try to find me. No, thank you, I went through enough pain and horror without being reminded of it by your presence," I was almost screaming now.

Ah, shit I thought, I could feel Kali and others drawing close. I started to fade when dad hit me with a bolt that actually tickled or would if I wasn't pissed.

I was about to try again when Kali and two other females appeared. A moment later, another group of females appeared, they were a mixed group. It seemed Egyptian, Greek, Norse, Japanese and two others.

"Husband," the Egyptian female said. "What has happened here," she turned toward me. "Has this one done this to you?"

She released a huge bolt toward me that I just snuffed out, causing shock on her face. All the others shot a bolt at me that I just smacked back at them. All their mouths dropped open before they were knocked off their feet.

I heard dad sigh then helped them off the ground. "Bast, I'd like to introduce you to my first child that, until a week ago, I was unaware of. Yes, before you ask, he is a demi like I am, though he is far more angry than anything else," he said.

All the females that he helped up had their mouths agape. Then the one he called Bast asked, "husband? Why is he so angry?"

"Apparently, I didn't help him enough. I was stupid enough to think that he came into this with more knowledge than I had. I was very wrong," I heard dad say.

I crossed my arms on my chest as I glared at him. "Yeah asshole, you did absolutely nothing for me. I've had to put up with pissed off gods and goddesses," I yelled.

I felt three soft pairs of hands touch me as I whirled, then was shocked to see Kali, Rohini, and Indrani. They all had a look of almost fear and something else.

"We were not mad, as you said, Robert. We have been trying to find you so we could apologize to you," Kali said.

The two goddesses that were with her were nodding their heads vigorously. I could only look at them with my mouth hanging open.

"Apologize? To me? Why in the hell do I doubt that? You sided with that pompous ass of a head god. He is the one that should have apologized, though I know that isn't about to happen. I have seen his type before you'd, you damn near have to kill him before he'd learn," I told them.

A huge blast bounced off me, heading toward dad. As I thought, it just fizzled out when it hit him.

"Who the hell are you calling pompous? You are the one that thinks they are better than any of us. Someone should teach you a lesson," Indra yelled.

I could feel the heat of my power growing higher as my anger rose to new heights.

"OK prick, teach me if you dare," I said as I narrowed my eyes at him, feeling my power double again.

I just smirked as I felt him release a powerful bolt. I waited as he started to grow more and more with the power of his bolts.

Finally, I was growing bored as I shot out a bolt as big as his last one. It pinned him to the ground as I started to push even harder. He was starting to become embedded in the ground as I let him have all my anger.

I felt then heard Indrani whisper in my ear, "Please Robert, I know you are angry. I am already denying him, might this persuade him to think again about all this?"

I only thought a moment, then stopped as I started to laugh. His mate was denying him? Oh shit! Now that was absolutely funny as hell. The problem was that it was far funnier than I should have thought. I actually fell off my feet.

When I finally stopped, I saw that Indrani had just started to extract himself from where he was embedded. To say that he was pissed was an understatement, he was also as crisp as dad had been.

He finally got up and slowly made his way toward me. I wasn't as mad though I was still at a high power.

He opened his mouth, but I held up a hand to stop him. "Before you start, know that I will end you if I have to. I only stopped thanks to your mate, you owe her so think before you speak," I told him.

He opened his mouth, closed it, then opened and closed a few times before he stopped. He then bowed slightly to me, "I can see that I was wrong about you, I," then he shook his head. "We could use your help," then he bowed a little again then vanished.

I was standing there with my mouth hanging open. I had felt that, that had been completely sincere. I was still in shock for a few moments when Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva appeared.

This brought me back as I stared at Shiva, who was actually keeping back from me. Huh, I thought, perhaps he has learned also. I waited, then to my amazement, Shiva walked up to me.

"I realize that we got off on the wrong foot. Your sire or whatever he is helped me. I hadn't realized that I had hurt my mind when Vishnu and I hit each other with those bolts. I wish to be friends, though understand if you do not," Shiva said, then waited.

"At this moment I am unsure of much. I am more inclined to befriend you than not," I said, then shocked all and myself shaking his hand.

Shiva just stood there completely in shock. Possibly more in shock than myself, hell the whole situation had me a little out of it.

"OK" I started. "I had sixteen of those demons, I can't remember what you call them show up. I told them they should leave while they could, they laughed getting me madder. I think they believed me after I blew the second set of five away," I told them.

All but Shiva had their mouths open as they stared at me. "I thought that was you, yeah I could feel a lot of anger from what was left, which wasn't much," Shiva said.

I looked over to where my father was standing with all the female goddesses. I just shook my head obviously he was a goddess magnet.

I could also see that he was deep in conversation with them. They stopped when they noticed that I was looking in their direction.

Dad then put his hand in front of them as he moved toward me. "I apologize that I wasn't there for you. I grew up differently than you. I lost most of the family after I was grown, my god, had I known of you I would have been there. Your mother never told me, she'd always said that she'd never tell me if she was," he said.

From what I felt and heard from him, I could actually believe him. What little I remember of mom, she was independent as hell.

"I just need help, you obviously had some type of help with all this, I have nothing," a clearing throat caught my attention. I looked at Kali and slightly grinned. "OK, I didn't have that much help, I am lost with what I am doing. Hell I almost blew one of the goddesses up, not good."

I saw that dad was also smiling, though the females with him were smirking a lot, as was Kali and the two with her.

"Alright, let's get started," he said as I sat, and he painstakingly started to go through all he knew. Holy shit I thought after two days there was more to this shit than I thought.

After the first day, all the goddesses that came with him left for a bit, then returned with more than a few children. I could only stare at them, almost all of them had god powers, well all but two.

Dad had a huge smile on his face, "Robert, I'd like to introduce you to your brothers and sisters. All of them are gods and goddesses, except for John and Helen," he said. He then introduced me to a woman who I thought was human 'til she got close. "This is Dr. Markov, my, was human wife, like us, she is now a Demi."

I shook her hand, feeling the power throbbing through her. "So you are the son that he said that he felt a year ago. It is indeed a pleasure to meet you. Though I wish it was under better circumstances."

I could only shake my head everything was starting to get weird. Dad stayed for a week, showing me everything that he could. I felt I was ready, damn I was wrong.

I finally went back to India. Kali had stayed with me, as had the other two 'til I was ready. I appeared with them near a huge tent that I had left set up. "Don't you want to go to Svar-loka? After the misunderstanding, you should go," Kali said.

I just shook my head," no, I don't think so. That is his domain even with his words. I know that I am still not welcome there. At least I am not yet, perhaps one day, though not at present."

Kali was about to speak again when there was a swirling cone of energy that appeared. I felt my anger start to rise when I saw that there were at least thirty demons that appeared.

I didn't even think, as I destroyed ten of them in no time, this causing the others to scream and throw bolts at us.

I managed to keep them at bay getting another five, though now they were staying on the move. I managed to get another five before they grabbed Rohini and vanished. A moment later, they grabbed Indrani, though that cost them another five.

They were coming after Kali, a big mistake as I was now pissed as hell. They had tried to knock me aside to get to her. Again, a mistake as I took four of the last six.

"So, they weren't lying about you," I knew he was trying to distract me as the five appeared again, then were gone.

"Come on you coward, too afraid to fight me? Afraid that you are too weak like the others that are no more?" I said as I took out the last of the first thirty.

The last one, quite a bit bigger than the others, roared as it came at me. Luckily, I was as pissed as I was. When he hit me he bounced off with a pure look of shock and was that fear?

"So," I said as I taunted him. "You are afraid that is good cause you are about to be no more." This time it was I that rushed at him, my anger as high as it had been before. As I passed by him, I swiped at it, removing its right arm.

I enjoyed the howls and screams of pain it made as I rapidly hit it again, taking the other arm. I didn't even notice that I was moving faster and faster as I struck every point on it that I could.

I could see that it was defeated, though I really didn't give a shit. Finally, I calmed seeing that whatever it was, was ripped to shreds.

I growled in its face the heat of my body and hate burning even its skin. "Where are they? You are about to die, it can be quick, or I can stretch it out for a very long and very painful time."

The demon started to growl at me before I hit it in the middle of its chest.

"Very slow and painful it is, I said as I started to twist its chest and stumps. Finally, I knew then I put a hand through its chest, pulling out a blackened piece of flesh.

I looked at Kali, "I am going after them, I will get them," I started.

At that moment, Indra and Chandra appeared shocked at the carnage that was around me. "They took them, didn't they?" Indra said, to which I nodded. "We are going with you, they are our consorts." I nodded, then felt others appear.

First, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva of The Trimurti. A moment later, Kertikeya appeared with more weapons than I thought any being could carry. He had a look of anguish and glee about going into battle.

I noticed a few moments after that, that Yama the god of death was behind him. This made me smile more. I knew that if Yama was as mad as I could see that he was, the demons hadn't a chance at all.

I thought that Indra was going to take over as he seemed to be a major god here. When he said nothing and walked to me, slightly bowing to me, I knew. "I am going after them, I took thirty-one more of them, so it might help," I smiled.

Suddenly, all of them had weapons that seemed to appear from nowhere. Oh, yeah, I thought this was going to be bloody as hell.
