Theogony - Dark Dawn

Chapter 14, Night 3, "Minutes and Centuries"

Although Poser was married to Hades, they did not share the same bed, but slept in the next room.

Since the wedding is planned to be held a year later, there is nothing wrong with observing the etiquette.Even though the two of them were not married yet, the occasional intimate contact made Poser even blush and heartbeat.

Once, Poser turned into a little skylark and brought a bunch of broccoli flowers to Hades, but the other party laughed inconspicuously.

At that time, Hades looked at Poseidon lying on the table, dejected, and said, "I've never heard of someone sending broccoli flowers to express their affection. You really surprised me."

Poser buried his head in his shoulders, thinking dully.

How does he know, and he has never been in love.Moreover, he is even more unclear about how a man and a man fall in love.He just heard that humans in the human world like to send flowers, so he gave them.

Moreover, broccoli is very good!After delivery, it can also be used for cooking, which is quite "environmentally friendly".

Of course, Hades still made fun of him after listening to his explanation.

But there is a smile between the brows.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Poserfen from behind, hugged the young man's body into his arms, and said with a soft smile, "Poserfen, meeting you is the surprise of my life."

This is said in all sincerity.

You know, when he was saddest, he met Poserfen.Although the other party was just a little skylark at the time, he has been with him for more than a thousand years and listened to his troubles.

When Poser turned into a human being, he knew his intentions, but he himself refused.But he knew that the phrase "I just want to pamper him, not love him" is a self-deception.

Fortunately, it was not too late to wake up.

Poser, on the other hand, felt that he was hallucinating a little.You know, this is what he longed for.However, the sudden happiness is always like a bubble, which is easy to burst.He was both happy and uneasy.

"What is a year to love? It is a minute and a century. It is a minute because it passes like lightning in the sweetness of love; it is a century because it builds on us. Happiness after life."

Poser stood under the pavilion of the Pavilion of Flowers, muttering to himself.

He feels that living with the one he loves is just like a happy minute.However, that happiness left an unforgettable moment in my heart, as if it could accompany him for a century.

He could no longer imagine a day without seeing Hades.

"Well, this passage is from the human world, a French writer—Hugo."

The magic mirror floated in mid-air and said.He had heard one of the masters read this passage before.It can only be said that the history of life keeps repeating itself.

"Hey, it turns out that the head of the magic mirror isn't just filled with milk!" Poser said teasingly with a gleam of light in his blue eyes.

He always thought that the magic mirror had no knowledge other than magic.

Of course the magic mirror heard his implication, but it was the first time he heard the comparison of brains to milk.

It seems that Poser really doesn't like eating in general.

He was about to refute Poserfen's words, but he heard the other party sigh quietly, and said softly: "It's so boring! I really want to go out and play. But, Hades is not allowed."

As Poser said, he remembered what the other party had said to him.

The man locked himself deeply with his black eyes, and said in a low voice: "Posefen, if you want to stay by my side, you must sacrifice your freedom. I have too many enemies, and they will catch you at any time to threaten me. "

Of course, Hades didn't quite say what was on his mind.He didn't mind being threatened, just losing Poser points.

He didn't want to lose the person he loved again, that feeling was too uncomfortable.

If you are destined to lose, I would rather never get it.

And Poserfen also knew the importance of the matter. Ever since he became Hades' fiancée, he had stayed in Huangquan peacefully, being a "little man".

However, if his mother found out, he would definitely laugh at him for being spineless!

A man does not defend his family and country, but loves his sons and daughters.Nor did he have the intention to leave a glorious mark in the history of the gods.

However, everyone's pursuit of life is different.

And what he pursued was to stay by Hades' side, that's all.

Perhaps, someone will ask, even if you can endure this miserable day, you will always think of the colorful world outside!One day, there is no guarantee that he will not leave.

To be honest, he didn't want to delve into this issue at all.He just stayed by that person's side by instinct.

"It would be great if you could watch shadow puppetry, or Cantonese opera, or movies."

Poser sat on the chair, his legs dangling, and said softly.

It's a pity that here in Huangquan, apart from watching Hades trial the prisoners, there is nothing to see.

When he was still a little skylark, he had watched Hades' trial of the prisoner countless times, but now he was no longer interested, and he didn't even follow the other party to the morning court.

During the festival, although there will be monster fighting activities here, similar to the bullfighting programs in the human world.

The warrior put on black clothes, raised the flag, and fought against the monster, stabbing the monster step by step with a sharp sword until the monster bled to death.

However, that is too cruel, why do you want to do this?Don't you want to have a good time with a sword?Even monsters have the "dignity" of death!

Therefore, Poserfen once proposed to Hades to abolish such a traditional sideshow, and the other party abolished the tradition left by the ancient stream without saying a word.

Of course, some conservative ministers are very opposed to it.

However, Hades looked coldly, and the audience stopped humming.

Hades simply said at the time: "Don't take the excuse of preserving tradition as cruel barbarism."

Of course, when Pluto uttered this sentence, the whole country was shocked.

How can there be compassion for a country that believes in cruelty, death, and judgment as its beliefs?

Many ministers felt that Hades was being prepared to marry the queen of the underworld, and had confused the king's heart. They believed that Poser was "blue disaster face water", and wrote letters one after another, demanding that the queen be abolished and re-established.

At that time, Poser was thinking nonchalantly, how did he become Su Tanji, such a vicious person who brought disaster to the country and the people?

He doesn't want Lanyan to be miserable!

Of course, Hades also saw the doubts in his heart, and comforted softly: "I am here, and you are here. I die, and you die."

The man swore another oath for him.

Ok!

He never thought Hades would be such a romantic person, so he didn't know how to react at the time.He is very afraid that his current life is an "illusion"...

However, it is also extremely joyful.

Sure enough, he did not love such a man wrongly, only such a man is hard to give up.

Poser secretly praised Hades in his heart, and remembered that Hades had recently ordered Uriel to find a cure for his lameness, and he was very happy.

"Posefen, did you hear what I said?"

The magic mirror said dissatisfied.Whoever said it was boring just now, he thought of a way to help relieve the boredom, but the other party didn't listen to a word.

Poser pulled back his thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Ah? What did you say just now?"

The magic mirror said it again helplessly, and said softly: "I am a magic mirror, I can spy on everything that happens in the world, do you want to take a look."

Hearing this, Poser's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes!"

The magic mirror floated on the table, the golden light flashed, and the mirror immediately showed the scene. Poser looked at it with great interest. He saw the political and social changes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, saw Qin Shihuang's ruling methods, and also saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The grand occasion of respecting Confucianism and so on.

Everything is like watching a huge historical movie, such as living in the scene.

Poserfen looked up at the darkened sky, and said flatly, "Why are there things that have happened before? Didn't they happen recently?"

Just like watching news, watching outdated news is always not as exciting as new ones.

"What's the situation in the human world?" The magic mirror recalled the playback of the screen and suggested.

"I don't live in the world, so I'm not very interested."

Poser shook his head, he paused, and said, "Why don't you take a peek at the latest interesting things that happened in our world!"

He rarely goes out and doesn't know what's going on outside.

The magic mirror replied without thinking: "No problem!"

It's rare that he finally has the value of existence.

Since following this little master, he doesn't seem to have done anything for him...

The golden light flashed again, and the mirror showed the scene of a sea of ​​people. This is the state of the continent in this era.Everyone was stopped by the soldiers and lined up in two rows on the street. The scene was very lively and the voices were boiling.

Some ordinary people were asking the soldiers what happened, but the soldiers remained silent, just maintaining order.

The well-meaning people nearby replied: "Don't you know? Zeus, the god of Olympus, is going to abolish the Queen and re-establish him. Today is the day to marry a new wife!"

"Ah? Then can't we see the appearance of that god with our own eyes?" A commoner raised his voice excitedly.

"Yes, yes. I don't know, will the former diva Sheila come to the scene?"

"My husband cheated openly, how could she show up? Unless she has a thick skin."

"But, I also want to see the appearance of the goddess!"

Everyone was discussing incessantly, but Poserfen's face was a little strange, and he was engrossed in looking at the picture in the mirror.The picture quality of the mirror is simply high-definition, not only can the pores of ordinary people be seen clearly, but also the appearance of the other party.

"Look! Zeus! He's coming in a chariot. But he's wearing a mask, covering his face!"

cried one of them, and all eyes were turned in that direction.

And Poser recognized that person's appearance at a glance. Although the handsome facial features were covered, his eyes were recognizable at a glance.

Because the gods can't just show up in front of mortals, or they will kill each other.For example: When a mortal sees Zeus, he will be shocked by lightning from the sky.And seeing Hades' face immediately had a heart attack and so on.Therefore, Poserfen and Hades will not casually show their true colors in front of mortals.

Zeus waved his hands and greeted everyone, enjoying everyone's cheers and blessings.

The scene was very shocking, everyone fought back and forth.

There was a young girl sitting behind him. Although her face was also covered, she felt that she had a pair of emerald green eyes, but she was not angry at all, and she didn't even blink.

The oxen pulling the chariot were extremely strong and fierce like tigers, and they easily pulled Zeus through the streets and alleys.

Suddenly, a woman descended from the sky.

She stood in front of the chariot, with a pure white veil on her face, beautiful curly hair cascading from the crown inlaid with flowers and leaves, which symbolized royal power, and the off-shoulder white dress showed the perfect curve of a woman.

She is Sheila!

Poser was secretly surprised in front of the mirror, with an expression of expecting things to happen.When an old lover meets a newcomer, isn't there a "war"?

Sure enough, as expected.Sheila said angrily: "The slut who betrayed me, today I will cut off the face of this bitch, to see if she has the face to see people!"

She rushed to the chariot and tore off the woman's veil.

Suddenly, the air suddenly condensed, and everyone dared not take a breath, a little unbelievable what they saw.

On the chariot, there is no girl, only a puppet in human form, sitting quietly.

Zeus took the opportunity to grab Sheila's hand and begged, "Honey, you are finally willing to see me!"

Speaking of which, Sheila knew about Zeus' derailment again, and Sheila ran away from home angrily.

Zeus begged in every possible way, but she refused to forgive.

In the end, Zeus could only come up with this way to anger her to come out to meet her.

Zeus explained the cause and effect to Sheila, and the common people listened with bated breath, but Poseidon in front of the mirror was very disdainful.

It was rumored that Sheila was jealous and would execute or torture Zeus's underground lover, but today she saw her as vicious as the rumors said.

Fortunately, my mother was not murdered by this woman back then.

Fortunately, today's bride is just a doll.

Sheila smiled and said softly, "I'm so stupid! No one is wrong, I just forgive you!"

Then, he happily flew away with Zeus in the chariot, leaving the audience stunned.

Poser thought to himself, what a perfect couple!

His mother, Demeter, was as gentle as water, virtuous and courteous. Zeus didn't want such a woman, but instead wanted that kind of wicked woman!It's like lard blindfolded!

The magic mirror didn't know what Poserfen was thinking, so he retracted the screen and said with a smile, "How is it? Is it interesting?"

To count the most exciting things recently, this fake marriage is the most sensational.

"A fool's show," Poser remarked.

He lowered his eyes and played with his fingers. The magic mirror floated over and asked, "Anything else interesting to watch?"

"No..." Poserfen just wanted to answer, but suddenly remembered something, he asked nervously: "Magic mirror, you show me the picture, whether as long as it happened in the world, no matter the time and place, it can be replayed watch once?"

"Yes!" The magic mirror replied, not knowing why the Poser branch asked so seriously.

"So, can I...can I watch what happened between Hades and my mother before?" Persephone asked hesitantly.

He really wanted to know about Hades' past, even a little bit, he wanted to know too.

"Yes, yes. But do you really want to see it?"

The magic mirror questioned that Hades did not hesitate to set off the battle of the gods for Demeter back then, of course he knew the previous relationship between the two.However, does Poserfen really not mind seeing a relationship that has passed?Are you ready to face this past?

Poser nodded vigorously, he really wanted to know everything about Hades.

The magic mirror was silent for a while, and then replied: "Okay!"

After finishing speaking, a golden light flashed, and after the light dissipated, a seventeen or eight-year-old boy appeared on the screen.

The young man was sitting on a big rock by the river, looking into the distance with ecstatic eyes, looking a little thoughtful.

The camera slowly zoomed out, and Poser finally saw the boy's face clearly.

Although his face is immature, his handsome facial features and his whole body in black clothes are still unforgettable at first sight.

That was the young Hades. The age and appearance of the gods are usually fixed between 20 and 25 years old. At that time, Hades had no fixed appearance and was very young!

Poser's heart beat violently. It seemed that no matter what age Hades was, he could kill him.

The young Hades' eyes were a little cold, but he didn't have a threatening aura.The green grass by the river is a bit out of tune with his lonely figure.

Suddenly, there was some movement in the grass, and Hades didn't turn his head, and whispered: "What are you doing again?" His tone was a little impatient.

The bushes were still for a while, and soon a girl about 16 years old walked out.

She lowered her head so that people could not see her appearance clearly, and she could not make a sound.

Hades seemed to be used to the girl's reaction, stood up, turned and left, ignoring the little figure.

However, after walking a few steps, he found that the girl was still following him.

He speeds up his pace, and the opponent speeds up again; he slows down his pace, and the opponent slows down again.

And Poser stared blankly at the camera, the scene was almost the same every day, and there was often a girl following Hades.

Until one day, Hades finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing?"

That kind of behavior like a stalker is simply unbearable.

The girl also seemed to be frightened, and continued to lower her head, pulling her clothes uneasily...

When Hades tried to speak again, she ran away.

Hades looked at the leaving figure and said in a low voice, "It's inexplicable."

Then the picture turned again, and I saw the girl talking to another boy just now, and the scene seemed to be in a temple.The boy's appearance made Poser feel very familiar, as if he had seen it there, and the girl's next words solved his doubts.

The girl still lowered her head, with a hint of crying and pleading in her tone.

"Zeus, I can't do that. That man ignores me."

Zeus put his hands on the girl's shoulders and comforted in a low voice: "Trust me, you can do it, Demeter."

Poser in front of the mirror was distracted, is it mother?

The girl raised her head, with tears rolling in her eyes, revealing a beautiful, snow-skinned beauty, and said softly, "Zeus, don't force me. I really can't do it."

Zeus lowered his head, kissed Demeter gently on the forehead, and whispered: "No one can resist your beauty, even that proud man."

Demeter hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded again.

Then, the image of the magic mirror turned again, showing the figure of Demeter following Hades.

The sky was blue and white, the weather was very clear, and there was a slight breeze blowing over the grass.

The figure in front paused, turned around, picked up the sword hanging from his waist, raised it, pointed it at Demeter, and threatened in a low voice: "Say, what is your purpose for following me?"

Demeter raised his head and saw that he was staring at Hades, hesitant to speak.

But seeing the sharpness of the sword, he said slowly, "I want to chase you."

Suddenly, time stopped suddenly, and the air seemed to be frozen.

It took Hades a long time to realize what the other party meant. As soon as the sword in his hand dropped, his ears turned red and he ran away in a hurry.

Demeter looked at the figure leaving in a panic, then looked down at the sword on the ground, a sweet smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

Three days later, Hades stood in front of the girl and said coldly, "Give me back the sword."

Demeter hugged the sword in his arms, and refused to give it back to the other party. He said softly, "You can give it back if you want me, just promise me one condition."

"What conditions?"

Hades asked calmly, but the red ears betrayed him.

"Dating with me." Demeter bit her lip and said softly.

Hades seemed to have known that he would encounter this problem a long time ago, so he turned his face away and was silent for a long time... said a little uneasy: "Okay."

Demeter jumped up happily, ran to Hades, gave him the sword, and announced happily: "Great, I can finally be your girlfriend now."

Hades froze for a moment and nodded.

The small flowers on the grass bloom silently, with a grand occasion, like a smiling face.

Then, the screen changed quickly again, and Poser saw Hades growing up and the figure of the girl who often stayed with the boy.

They are almost inseparable and get along day and night.

Hades was wearing an armed black military uniform, riding on a horseback mountain, full of vigor.

He pulled the reins, stopped the horses, and said loudly, "I'm back, Demeter."

The beautiful figure in the sea of ​​flowers, looking back, smiled like a flower, scattered the flowers to the sky, lifted the hem of the skirt, and rushed to Hades' arms, and was hugged tightly by those hands.

They poured out the pain of lovesickness to each other, just like ordinary lovers, seeing each other every day is like three autumns.

Then Poserpin saw them sitting under the tree, and Demeter was lying in Hades' arms, and asked a bit complainingly, "Why does it take you so long to come back every time?"

Hades smiled slightly and asked, "Do you miss me?"

It seems that Hades has been asking questions for a long time.

Poser thought to himself.But I heard the girl say again: "You are so beautiful! I don't have one."

Hades didn't say anything, but quietly hugged the girl in his arms and listened to what she said.

"Hades, if it's for me, can you give up the position of the god?" Demeter asked uneasily with her head resting on Hades' arms.

Hardy paused for a moment, then asked quietly, "Why do you ask that?"

Demetri pulled a little distance away, looked up and locked Hades deeply, and said softly: "Hades, don't you want to inherit the throne of the gods? I just want to live an ordinary life."

Hades smiled lightly, without any reproach at all, and whispered: "As long as it is your wish, I will make it come true for you."

Looking at that handsome smile, Demeter was a little absent-minded...

She humbly lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you."

Hades smiled again, hugged her shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Loyal love overflows in my heart, and I have obtained the most precious thing in the world, which is unpredictable wealth. I have nothing else to ask for. "

When Demeter heard this, she panicked and asked, "Hades, if one day you find out that I lied to you, what will you do?"

"Nothing, I will forgive you for everything."

Hades replied without thinking that there was nothing important and important to him, so there was nothing to lose.

"Really?" Demeter raised her voice with a flash of joy in her eyes.

"As long as you don't lie to me, you can forgive anything." Hades replied honestly.

Demeter's back stiffened, she grabbed Hades' hand and let go gently.

At that moment, Poser was distracted by a bad premonition.

Then the picture turned again, and he saw his mother and Zeus quarreling in the room.

"Zeus, I can't lie to Hades anymore, he is a loyal and affectionate man. But, I lied to him, and my conscience blames me."

Demeter wept bitterly, lying on the bed.

"No, you have to hide him for a while."

Zeus kept walking up and down the room with a firm tone.

He stopped, walked behind Demeter, patted her shoulder, and said, "For me, please don't give up."

"He and I are both Gaia's sons, and we are the most popular candidates for the gods. As long as he abstains, I will definitely be able to take this position."

Zeus added that since he was a child, he knew that his brother was better than him in everything, and as long as that man was around, he would always lose.

"Think about it, we've all planned it. After so many years of implementation, we can't let it go to waste."

Zeus moved his steps, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Demeter's hand.

Demeter looked up at Zeus, still a little hesitant on his face.Zeus said again: "Even if it's not for me, it's for our children."

When Demeter heard this, her face became flustered, and she asked, "You know everything?"

Her hand unconsciously touched her stomach.

Zeus put his hand on her stomach and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I saw a pregnancy test stick in the trash can in your room..."

"You want this child?" Demeter questioned, looking uncertain.

Zeus pulled her up, let her sit on the bed, and said seriously: "Of course, this is the crystallization of our love."

Demeter lowered her head and touched her stomach again. Although there is no protrusion now, she also felt a little life inside.

"However, you are already engaged to Sheila." Demeter said quietly with gloomy eyes.

Zeus said quickly: "I told you many times that I got engaged to her only because she is the goddess of power. She can bless me to become the most honorable person in the world, possessing power, status, and money."

"I won't marry her, and even if I marry her, I won't let you go."

Zeus said affectionately, reaching out to hold Demeter.

Demeter lay on his chest, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Okay, I believe you."

Then the picture turned again, Hades stood in front of Demeter, standing quietly, staring at the woman in front of him.

Still, that piece of grass, where the girl stood in front of Hades, confessing her love.

It is a pity that the green grass in the past has now become a land of barren grass.

After a long time, he asked, "Do you really have a child of Zeus?"

A short sentence is like squeezed out between the teeth.

Demeter avoided that look, touched her protruding belly, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Hades had no expression on his face, and took a deep look at Demeter.

He turned around, tightened his fist, and said, "One day, you will regret what you have done."

That sentence, with a firm tone.

Afterwards, the scene changed again, turning into the scene of the battle of the gods... However, Poser was absent-minded, not in the mood to continue watching.

He finally understood the so-called past, understood the so-called past.

The god of love is deep, and the god of hate is deep.

If Hades didn't love her mother back then, she wouldn't hate her so much.

Hades's hatred stems from loving his mother too much to suffer her betrayal, unable to accept that it was a ploy.

And this kind of past, Poser will never be able to participate in it.
