Greek Mythology: A loving father and a filial son

Because this is Nyx's divine domain, and Hades is the god chosen by Nyx. Although Hades is not a threat, Nyx behind him is a huge threat.

So the half-body Dionysus secretly came to the palace of the Queen of the Underworld.

The moment Dionysus arrived, he stunned all the nymphs serving in the palace to ensure that no one would disturb his next actions. He walked silently through the long corridor to Persephone's palace.

The interior of the palace was lavishly decorated, and the walls were inlaid with brilliant gems, illuminating his path. Dionysus was a little curious, this was different from the palace in the memory that Perseveni gave him.

However, he did not forget his purpose. He came not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the palace, but to find Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, and obtain important information about the world from her.

Then he appeared in front of Persephone. The black-haired Persephone was only surprised for a moment when she saw Dionysus appearing, and then calmed down. She looked at Dionysus with her black eyes and said, "Are you the god sent by my mother to find me?"

Persephone frowned slightly. She didn't seem to be expecting Dionysus' arrival, and even her voice was a little cold: "No, you are not sent by mother. I can feel the aura on your body, you are not From here.”

Dionysus' heart tightened, but he did not show any panic. He was fully aware of his situation at this moment, and he also knew that Persephone was not an easy character to deal with. He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "You are right, I am not from here. But I came here to seek your help."

Persephone sneered, and there was a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Help me? How can you, a foreign god, help me?"

Persephone continued: "Do you know what I want? You thought this was my prison, but you didn't know that this is the holy land I want most!"

After speaking, Persephone raised her hand and looked at Dionysus with a happy face.

"Holy place?"

When Dionysus heard Persephone's words, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He frowned slightly and looked at the Queen in front of him, trying to read more information from her expression.

"Holy Land?" He repeated Persephone's words, and then shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean. This is obviously Nyx's divine domain, a territory of darkness and death, how could it be in your heart? Where is the Holy Land?”

Persephone did not answer Dionysus's words, but continued to ask: "Do you think my mother loves me?"

Dionysus replied without thinking: "Of course I love you. If you don't love her, why would she protect you?"

Although I don’t know what Demeter is like in this world, I think she is pretty much the same.

When Persephone heard Dionysus's answer, a bitter smile appeared on her lips: "Protect me? Do you really think so?"

There was deep helplessness and sadness in her voice, which shocked Dionysus. He looked at the Queen of Hades in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his heart, as if he could feel the pain deep in her heart.

Persephone slowly raised her head and looked at the dome of the palace, as if recalling the past years. Her voice became low and sad: "You know, this was the place where my mother and I lived together. At that time, we were still mother and daughter who depended on each other."

"However, as time goes by, my mother's love for me becomes more and more distorted, because her strength barely breaks through to medium divine power. Among the twelve gods, she is the weakest, so she is very afraid that I will make the same mistake again. , but I want to say that I am not afraid. Although I am just a little seed goddess, any god who wants to plot against me will lose his teeth."

After speaking, Persephone stared into Dionysus's eyes.

Dionysus listened quietly to Persephone's narration, with complex emotions welling up in his heart. He looked at the strong yet fragile goddess in front of him, as if he could feel the struggle and helplessness deep in her heart.

Persephone took a deep breath and continued: "My mother, Demeter, is a very powerful goddess, but she is not as good as the other twelve gods. She is a very contradictory existence. "She wanted me to thrive but was afraid I would be hurt. So she became pathologically protective of me."

"When I was a child, my mother always took me with her and never let me leave her sight. She didn't allow me to play with other gods or contact the outside world. She told me that the outside world was full of dangers. and sinister, only staying by her side is the safest."

"However, I longed for freedom and explored the unknown world. So, I began to rebel against my mother's restraint. I tried to escape from her control and find a life of my own. However, every escape ended in failure. My mother always Be able to find me and bring me back to her.”

Dionysus couldn't help but feel shocked as he listened to Persephone's story. He couldn't imagine that a mother would be so pathologically protective of her daughter. This kind of protection not only deprived Persephone of her freedom, but also deprived her of the opportunity to contact the outside world.

Persephone continued: "My mother's protection of me became more and more strict, and she even began to limit my abilities. She did not allow me to use my powers, nor did she allow me to contact other gods. She locked me in In a small space, I am isolated from the outside world.”

"During that time, I felt extremely lonely and helpless. I couldn't communicate with the outside world, and I couldn't get help from other gods. I could only wait silently in this small space for my mother's return."

Dionysus listened to Persephone's story, and his heart was filled with sympathy and pity. He looked at the bound goddess in front of him and seemed to see his own shadow. He has also experienced loneliness and helplessness, and has also been restrained in a small space.

Persephone continued: "Later, because I didn't perform my priestly duties, I suffered backlash, so my mother personally took me to perform my priestly duties. When we arrived on the earth, the naughty little Eros shot an arrow at Hades. The first goddess Hades saw was me, and luckily, my mother was not by my side, so Hades took me back to the underworld."

"Hades took good care of me during my days in the underworld. He did not restrain me like a mother, but gave me enough freedom and space. He taught me how to manage the affairs of the underworld and how to deal with death and darkness. The power. Under his guidance, I gradually grew into an independent and powerful goddess."

"During that time, I felt extremely happy and satisfied. Hades was not only my guide, but also my friend and partner. We managed the underworld together, giving this dark world a ray of warmth and light."

However, the good times did not last long. Persephone's voice suddenly became low and sad: "After my mother found out about me and Hades, she rushed into the underworld angrily and asked Hades to hand me over. Hades refused my mother's request. He resolutely protected me from any harm."

"So, a war broke out in the underworld. Mother and Hades fought fiercely. Their powers intertwined and collided in the underworld, making the entire dark world tremble."
