[One. One is enough to know. Especially trying to raise a half-demon in a world full of mortals. As much as she loves her son, as much as she wouldn't mind having more some day, boy oh boy can they be a nightmare.]

I try not to have too many direct dealings with the divine, in any case. It usually ends poorly for anyone but themselves.
