[Greek mythology] Siren

Hera's guess was correct. After that attack, the animals and plants in the entire space disappeared into the space at a speed visible to the naked eye, probably because the mountain really didn't have any vitality, so the space probably automatically judged the space. The people inside are dead.

Affected by the surrounding environment, the creatures in the ocean are slowly disappearing, gradually returning to the calmness that Hades had when he first came here—the dead silence without any signs of life.

The whole space seemed to become quiet again.

Poseidon has never seen such an environment, and is very unaccustomed to it.

At first he thought that something had happened, but after Hera explained it to him, he realized that it is not surprising that this space has become like this, but it is difficult because of his always escaping temperament, now this space has become as if everything is in vain. It was already static, and the sea area that expanded and multiplied due to resisting this space also became quiet, and Poseidon himself seemed to have lost a lot of fun.

He didn't even think about communicating with his sister, and plunged into the bottom of the water for a long time without coming up.

However, the three goddesses reduced their activities because of the rare peace. The original towering trees gradually became less and less. The three goddesses each occupied a big tree, and then often disappeared among the leaves. Hades and Xavius ​​were left resting on the shells.

Although Hades didn't repel water as much as before, he didn't like to go into the water after all. Xavius ​​could swim in the water himself, but when the two of them were alone, he preferred to stay by Hades' side.

After Hades grew from a child to a teenager, the speed of growth did not stop, and he hadn't noticed it before. After the space returned to the previous situation, Savis suddenly found that Hades seemed to have a new change.

"This space is less oppressive to me." Hades said looking at the mountain, "It should be that we are almost dead, and all the words against us before are slowly disappearing, and the next time he feels Before this space is filled with the power of a god, I should be able to fully grow."

"I joked before that if he swallowed one of your brothers and sisters again, we would probably be in big trouble, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing." Savis's favorite thing to do is to dip his tail in the water and shake it gently. My upper body/body is lying on the shell, looking up at Hades slightly, and sometimes he will lie directly on the shell and look at him. When the space becomes quiet, he doesn't like to move much.

Before meeting Hestia and the other three, what he and Hades liked to do most was sitting or lying motionless in the shells and chatting. In fact, most of the time it was he who talked, and the content of the chat was not centered. , Say what comes to mind, Hades occasionally interjects, but mostly listens quietly.

Up to now, Poseidon dived into the bottom of the water, and the three goddesses each hid their existence, and it seemed that there were only two of them left in the ocean.

However, because Hades' body has grown a lot, the habits have gradually changed.

He used to like to lie beside Xavius, now he likes to hug Xavius ​​as his pillow, before he would rarely interrupt Xavius ​​when he was talking, now he seems to be able to ask and answer with him communicated.

Xavius ​​didn't reject such a change. When Hades gradually became taller than him and his chest was wider and stronger than his, he preferred to lean on his chest and close his eyes to listen to Hades speak.

When Poseidon poked his head out of the water again, he couldn't help but screamed when he saw Hades: "Hades?"

His exclamation was so loud that the three goddesses couldn't help poking their heads out of the lush leaves.

I saw a young man sitting on Hades' exclusive seat, holding a boy in his arms. The boy's head was leaning against his chest intimately. He was closing his eyes at the moment and didn't know whether he was taking a nap or sleeping for a long time.

The face of the young man still has the shadow of the young Hades, but the original immaturity has completely disappeared. He looks lazy and leisurely, leaning on the shell, with one hand around the young man's waist, and the other gently patting the boy on the back.

That boy was Xavius.

but……

Poseidon pointed at the young man who looked older than him, a little bit unacceptable: "You you you you...you have grown up?"

"Huh?" Hestia was a little surprised when he saw Hades, "You have grown from a teenager to a youth much faster than before." And growing into a youth means that Hades' ability has reached She originally thought that Hades would take a long time, "but speaking of it, since the day and night disappeared, there has been no time flow here, so we don't know how long it has passed .”

The mountain is still standing there, and the environment on the other bank is still the same as before. There are no beasts and birds in the space. A few trees grow sparsely on the bank. The branches are short and soft, slightly hanging down. When I got down, there were only a few scattered leaves on the branches, and it seemed that they would fall from the branches at any time.

Nothing here has changed, so they don't know how long it has been.

"However, Hestia, do you feel that this space is less oppressive to us?" Demeter had noticed it before, but nothing happened, which is not a bad thing, so before He didn't deliberately look for Hestia.

"I feel it too." Hera said, "Hades probably grew rapidly because the suppression of this space has become smaller." Or it has actually been a long time, so Hades will grow up. "Grow up", in fact, they had guessed before, if Hades couldn't get out, whether Hades would never be able to grow up, but they didn't expect that things turned around because of this mountain range.

"However," Demeter was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with Xavis? It's rare to see him so spiritless."

It's been a long time since Poseidon screamed and they came together to discuss Hades' situation. Xavius ​​showed no signs of waking up. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so sleepy. But when it comes.

However, thinking of the reduced pressure in this space and the situation of Hades, Hera boldly guessed: "Savis has maintained his youthful appearance for a long time, and this time the pressure in this space has decreased. Are you going to grow up too?"

"No." Hades replied softly, "Savis has not grown up because of the pressure of this space, but because of his godhead."

"He said before that his godhead is gone." Hestia wondered, "And the godhead that was destroyed because of the attack at that time can be regarded as injured and unable to grow up. If one day Having a new godhead doesn't necessarily guarantee that he can grow, so he shouldn't be tired." She had heard Savis talk about before, when he hadn't picked up Hades He used to fall asleep for a long time, but at that time it was because he was too bored by himself.

Hades himself said that since he came to Xavius, except for the one time Xavius ​​forced himself to design himself and caused him to fall into a coma for a long time, he has never slept for a long time.

In the beginning, Hades just developed the habit of holding people in his arms. Later, Savis himself liked to chat with Hades by leaning on his chest. Sometimes he would close his eyes and take a nap while chatting. For a while, Hades didn't think too much about it at all.

By the time he realized something was wrong, Xavis had already fallen asleep, and screaming was useless.

"Just fell asleep." After checking, he found that Xavis was really just asleep, "It's okay, you go about your business."

Hearing Hades' reassurance, Poseidon shrugged and dived into the water again. The three goddesses looked at each other, and Hera shook her head at the two sisters. They all knew that Hades would not let them They were close to the sleeping Xavius, so they also left, just like when Hades was growing up, they didn't ask Xavius ​​too much.

After everyone left, Hades lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Savis' forehead.

He knew that Xavius ​​was just asleep, but Xavius ​​fell asleep without warning, and Hades, who was holding him, could clearly feel the movement of his hands. Xavius ​​would tremble a few times occasionally, feeling like It was like a nightmare.

But gods seldom dream, unless someone weaves a dream for him, or...prediction of the future...

When Hades' lips left Xavius' forehead, Xavius ​​just opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Hades held the outstretched hand of Savis' conditional launch, and asked calmly, "Did you have a nightmare? You didn't sleep well before."

On the contrary, Savis was a little dazed: "I... fell asleep?"

Hades frowned slightly: "Well, why can't you wake up, and you are shaking, Xavius, are you having a nightmare?"

"I don't know...is that a dream?" Savis murmured, the hand held by Hades still couldn't stop shaking, "But he shouldn't appear again, I just...should It must be a dream."

"What dream did you have? It seems that the whole person is frightened."

"I... forgot." Savis said dryly, "I remembered it clearly in my dream before, but after waking up, I felt vague. Now I have almost forgotten it." He looked at himself being held by Hades hand, a little scared, "but I always feel that it is not a good thing."

"If you forget, don't think about it." Hades hugged him tighter, "It will be fine."

Savis buried his head in his chest: "Well, I know."
