Cupid winks

Chapter 103

into space. said the narrator.

I looked out the porthole, and a man pointed beside me: "Look, that's the moon."

I said: "The moon is my sister. She has shoulder-length hair and never misses her silver arrow. She is keen on hunting. Under the moonlight, you can often see her running."

Ares' voice came through the communicator built into my spacesuit: "Look, that's the sun."

I glanced, the first time I saw the sun on Helios' carriage, Helios told me to close my eyes quickly, he was afraid that my eyes would be burned by the sun's rays, but I looked straight at It, it was looking straight at me too.I embraced it, and its light was the same as mine.Now, it's still shining, and I... I lost my light.

Ares and I flew out of the cabin, the sun was no longer with us, we were drifting in the dark, after a while, I saw a blue planet, I knew it, it was the earth, it was my birth place, that's where I disappeared.That is the place of all, that is the paradise of the gods, and it is also the cemetery of the gods.

I heard someone talking in my ear again.

J'ai long temp shabitésous devastes portiques.

I asked Ares, "Did you hear that?"

He said, "What did you hear?"

The man read it to me, and I read it to him: "Leshoules, enroulantles images descieux..."

I asked, "Who created time, who created this dark place?"

I heard: Lesecret douloureuxquimefaisaitlanguir.

I said: "Le secret douloure ux quime faisait languir."

I said, "Look, it's Mars!"

I touched Ares' hand, and I said, "That's you."

Ares said, "That's me of the Romans."

He added: "That's me..."

"That's our past life," I said, "That's our future life."

"We are eternal beings, we only exist for a moment." Ares said.

All of a sudden we were drifting so fast we couldn't see anything around us and we were sucked into a black hole!But soon, I felt that my feet were on the solid ground, and I seemed to be in a cave where I couldn't see my fingers.

"Ares?" I called.

"I'm here."

As soon as my hands warmed up, I smiled and said, "What new world or doomsday is here?"

I still touch Ares' hand, no longer through the glove, and I still hear him speak, no longer through the communicator.In the communicator, his voice was crisp, but now, his voice is hoarse.

"I can't see anything," he said.

I said, "Me too."

Ares said: "I feel as if I have become an ordinary person, facing the darkness, powerless."

I said, "Me too."

Ares said: "But I am a little excited."

I said, "Maybe we should get a cell phone too, how much money do you have?"

"The money is gone when it's in the camp," Ares said.

I sigh.He said: "Then we have to popularize the Internet signal on Mount Olympus."

I laughed, and he laughed, and I said, "I could play the lyre and be an internet celebrity, you know."

He smiled and said: "Your mind is fast enough, this is a shortcut to becoming a god."

"We can plant cherry trees," he said.

I said, "Let's start a brewery and ask Dionysus to represent it."

Ares said: "We printed Hermes on the wine bottle, maybe a bottle can sell for tens of thousands."

We laughed at the same time, and at this point, two separate points of light appeared in front of our eyes, and I asked, "Which way should we go?"

Ares said, "Let's go alone."

My heart tightened: "Are we going to separate?"

I asked: "Can we go back to Olympus?"

Are we going back to Olympus?

Ares said: "If you and Artemis don't mind the bad smell of Hades, you can come often."

Ares added: "I don't know why, Aphrodite always looks panicked, maybe the company of friendship can make her feel better."

He mentioned, "She often dreams about your prophecies about the shepherds."

I shook my head, not without regret: "I can no longer make more predictions for her."

Ares said, "Apollo, don't be sorry."

I want to say...

I said, "I'll go over there and have a look."

I said, "Please call me Phoebus."

I let go of Ares' hand.

I want to say...

I was walking towards one point of light, and Ares must be walking towards another.

I want to say...

Someone whispered poetry in my ear again.

J'ai long temp shabitésous devastes portiques.

I want to say that on that night, it was me.

I want to say...

Suddenly, my heart beat violently. I was not only impulsive, timid, and hesitant, but I also had jealousy, resentment, madness, and hatred.I have all the low qualities I shouldn't have.

My hands and feet are getting colder, I might die...

I'm still alive, my eyes are hot, my throat is itchy, and I'm burning hot all over.

I stopped in front of the spot of light, which was no bigger than before, but I saw the daughters of Ananke from inside, and I saw the three goddesses of fate standing numbly in the light.

Ares' voice came from behind me: "Phobos, do you have anything there?"

I replied: "This is a dead end, I think we should find another way out."

I turned around, hiding my fate behind me: "What do you have there?"

"I don't know, there's nothing in that spot of light," he said.

I kept asking, "Where are you?"

He kept answering, "I'm here."

I found him, we walked towards the same spot of light, there was indeed nothing in the spot of light, but the spot of light became bigger and brighter, we walked out of the darkness, and we returned to the lively place The Athens Bazaar is on!A boy bumped into me and before I could see him he was running away.Ares exclaimed: "Eros!"

He ran to the boy and I followed.

Eros' black hair flickered in and out of the crowd.

I think, I have completely lost my divinity.

阿波罗

We chased Eros, he was nimble and fast. After chasing for a while, my eyes could no longer catch his figure, so I had to follow Ares, which was very difficult.This made me feel depressed, and the mental weakness eroded my body. When passing a green grass field, my feet could no longer move, my breathing could not keep up with the rhythm of the wind, so I had to stop and hold on to my body. The tree was panting.People, is it so easy to get tired, so easy to stop, so easy to give up?Man, can the body never keep up with the goal?

Ares is still running ahead, where is this, where is the city?Is this still Athens?Is this still Greece?Why is the road here so bumpy? The ground is either small pits or cracks in the soil. There are stones everywhere. It’s really desolate here. It's just clouds here, connected one by one, it looks like a mountain.I can't see any further.I sat under this tree, what kind of tree is this?The leaves are flat and long, shining with silver light, the branches are thin and black, and the branches are dotted with spots of sunlight, which dazzled my eyes for a while.The wind is calling my name, and I can't tell whether it is the north wind or the west wind calling me.

The call was getting closer and closer, I rubbed my eyes, and saw a figure running towards the gravel path I was facing.The sun was too dazzling, I tried hard to identify, that man was really tall, his arms looked very strong, his legs looked very strong, his black hair was blended into a soft luster by the hand of the sun, His black eyes were bright and deep.It's Ares.God of War in Olympus.A lover of Eros, a god who loves Eros.

What mortal could have eyes so delightful and so melancholy?

Ares approached, he looked down at me, his breathing was steady, no sweat on his face or forehead.I sat in the shade and was sweating from the heat, my mouth was dry and I could only make the noise that the cheapest sandpaper makes.I asked Ares, "Have you lost track?"

Ares shook his head: "No, I found that you are no longer by my side, so I came to you."

I said: "I have made a fool of yourself in front of you, go to Eros, perhaps he knows the way back to Olympus."

I said, "Ares, I have lost my divinity."

And I said, "People don't need me anymore. Time has allowed them to discover the true face of the God of Light, who is just like them, with all the inferior qualities they have."

Ares said: "A greedy person does not think greed is inferior, and an ugly person does not think ugliness is inferior."

I said, "People can accept their inferiority, but I was once a god, I can't." I said
