Cupid winks

Love does not come when I come, love is nature. "

Hermes also smiled: "Goddess, I'm talking about human beings. Which god falls in love with whom in battle? The gods fight for their own victory wholeheartedly. Only human beings, in the battle of the world, Most of them are mortals who don't care about victory and are driven by fate."

Hermes smiled: "Goddess, love is human nature."

I quickly covered his mouth: "No! Hermes, this is... this is a blasphemy!"

The smile on Hermes' face gradually disappeared, he moved my hand away, patted it lightly, and sighed: "Just like stealing is their nature, passion is their nature, and jealousy is their nature. "

I looked away, lowered my head, lowered my eyes, stroked Ares's hair, and said, "Hermes, you've been hanging out with mortals for too long!"

Hermes laughed loudly and said: "Only when I go to the world more often will I feel the superiority of being a god. Everyone worships gods and Mount Olympus. In the eyes of humans, we have nothing to lose. impossible."

I said, "Of course!"

Hermes said: "God! You only take care of people when they offer sacrifices. God, fifty virgins are not enough, and fifty priests are not enough. God, send the plague to kill Soldier, send the devil to slaughter the city, so that the sea breeze will stop blowing, and the world will be filled with the smell of blood."

I said: "Don't challenge the gods, don't disobey the gods, be in awe, be in awe, I think this is the consensus between God and man!"

Hermes said: "So when people think of God, should they be afraid, should they panic, should they tremble, should they be in awe? Otherwise the god of death will appear around them?"

I shook my head, and I said, "They should love gods." I was taken aback, and my voice lowered, and I said, "Ares and I are twin gods?"

I kissed Ares's hair softly, I don't know why I did it, maybe because my divine twin was disgraced by the gods, abandoned by men, and left in the dark, damp place of Nysa Sleep with a wand in your cave.

I pity him.

Poor god, sad god.

I shed tears for Ares.Hermes wiped my face lightly, and said to me: "I went to the tower of Gigantes, and I opened the door of the cell where Ares was held, and I said, Brother God of War, drink to Guigantes The wine of Dionysus is sleeping! Let's go! Ares looks miserable, he said, close the door! He said, when the prison door is opened, I can hear those screams again, those Wailing! They go on and on, they go on and on...

"Ares said that from Mount Olympus to the underworld, only the tower of Tartarilos can isolate these voices, only there, only darkness is with him, darkness is silent, darkness is serene He asked me, Hermes, why did you come here to rescue me? What have I to do with you? I said, it’s not that your mother misses you! Ares looked very tired, and he sat In the black cell, his hair was black, his eyes were black, his lips were pale, his breath was pale, and he sat for a while, and then he went with me. Fort, where the Persians and the Ionians were fighting for Metimna, I thought Ares would join the fray, I always heard he was so addicted to strife, that whenever a weapon was fired, he would go to that place. battlefield.

"In the land of Metimna, Ares fought day by day for the Ionians, and day by day for the Persians. No one recognized him, but a black-haired warrior was seen slaughtering. The Ionians, also slaughtered the Persians.

"People don't fight anymore. They don't know who is invading them. They send spies to find out who the black-haired warrior is. Some say he's a Spartan, some say he's a Thracian, some say Said he was an Amazon, but no one could convince anyone, of course, they tried to attack him, the Ionians attacked him at night, but they didn't know, Ares was always awake and couldn't sleep, and I was like that and the Persians, who ambushed him by day, did not know that Ares could split Mount Erion, only to submit to the giants for the sake of eternal peace. The Ionians and the Persians also tried It was a great time to join forces! But who can beat the god of war on Mount Olympus? So people quieted down, and people built tombstones for dead warriors and dead people.

"I picked flowers for them and put them in front of each tombstone. At dusk, Ares came to the cemetery. I asked him if he sympathized with the victims. He shook his head and said that soldiers should die in battle. I said, what about the women and children who died without being soldiers?

"He said that if they are mothers, they should love their children and teach him to be kind to others; if they are wives, they should love their husbands, miss him every night, and tell him their thoughts every night; if they It's children, they should pack their bags and see the world, not pick up rocks and sticks and play kings and warriors.

"I wept in the cemetery."

Hermes looked at me with eyes like water.

"I shed tears for all those who died."

I kissed Hermes on the cheek and hugged him.

Hermes said again: "Goddess, I was born with half human blood, and I love to hang out with people. Human happiness is so simple, and human sadness is so easy. Ares is the closest god to human beings, but How strange, he is a born protoss."

I said, "Maybe this is his fate."

I kissed Ares' hair again, and I begged Hermes: "Son of the Witch, can you tell me the secret of your wand, and I want to bring him peace every day."

Hermes said: "Goddess, do not indulge in the charm of magic."

I promised him: "I promise! I will never use this wand anywhere else! If you don't trust me, you can ask the south wind that blows all over this cave to supervise me! If you don't trust me, you can use this wand at any time." Take it back! Go and tell everyone, all the gods, that Aphrodite has backfired and never believed! If you don't believe me, I'm here, right now, to promise you that if I use the power of this wand In other people, please take away my tongue, take away my eyes, so that I can no longer confide my heart to my lover, can no longer see the person I love, and close my heart."

Hermes waved his hands again and again to dissuade me: "This oath is too poisonous!"

I said: "Call Apollo, the god of truth who is bright, stalwart, and never lies, to testify."

Hermes smiled wryly and shook his head: "Okay, okay, you have lifted Phoebus out, then I can't help it!"

Hermes left me his wand and told me the spell of sleep, and from then on I came to meet Ares in the cave.I let him sleep peacefully.

Ares wasn't surprised when he saw me take out my wand for the first time, and he didn't ask much. He just glanced at me normally, and said normally, "It's you, goddess."

I said, "It's me."

I said, "Come on, sleep on my lap."

Ares came to me, I waved my wand, said the spell, and he fell asleep peacefully.

During the day, when the first rays of morning light entered the cave, I asked him, "Has Morpheus sneaked into your sleep?"

Ares said: "It is a very quiet place." He said, "Like the tower of Tartarus." He said, "There, I realized and understood the meaning of 'quiet'."

I felt sad, lowered my eyes, and shed tears.Ares's disdainful and impatient voice sounded, and he said: "I told you, don't pity me, pity me, pity me, I don't need it. Crying is really annoying."

I don't remember it, but it must have been their conversation when Apollo took over my body.

I looked up at Ares and said, "I don't feel sorry for you," I asked softly, "I just want to cry for you, will you allow me?"

Ares didn't answer, I think he acquiesced.I shed tears for him.

Ares walked out of the cave, I chased after him, and I asked him: "Aris, where are you going?"

Ares said: "Abdera of Thrace, a group of Thracians are rebelling against their Greek slave masters."

I grabbed his hand and said, "Take me with you."

Ares said: "As far as I know, you are a goddess who blindly avoids disputes."

I said, "I'm willing to get involved in any dispute for you."

Ares's black eyes blinked, and his cold eyes looked gentle due to the sudden flicker.I kissed the back of his hand twice, and he looked at me and said, "You'll regret it."

I smiled: "When I want to go, let me go, if I regret it, let me regret it! I am the goddess of the moment!"

Ares led me to Afraid, helped me onto the horse, and then turned on the horse himself. His arm was on my waist, and he held the rein tightly. I said: "I have never set foot in Thrace. I don't know if there are Believe in the temple of Eros?"

Ares said: "Yes, it is on the Black Sea, where there are temples that worship Athena and Apollo. That is where I was born. There is honey everywhere, and the mountains and fields are full of horses. Dionysus would be ashamed of the wine brewed by the most common people in the household, and the place is full of Greek merchant ships and Thracian slaves, and a blanket can be exchanged for a hundred."

I leaned against Ares and stroked his wrist.I said, "Take me to taste the honey there
