[Greek mythology] Siren

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this mountain." Hera pouted slightly, half lying on a branch and looking at the towering mountain, "Why is this mountain that none of us can reach? What about?" The most important thing is that the mountain was originally just a rock, but it was able to resist the attacks of so many birds and beasts in this space, and it turned into a high mountain in an instant when it landed, which is really weird.

"Or it's not close, and what we see is an illusion?" Demeter and Hera moved in the same way, "To be honest, I've been looking at the mountain for a long time, but I still don't see anything wrong."

"It's not the mountain that's wrong now, it's the ocean." Poseidon suddenly emerged from the water, frowning. He looked around and swam to the shell under the puzzled eyes of several people, " Hades, Xavius ​​is asleep again?"

He looked at the two people on the shell, and always felt that the movements of these two people were completely opposite to what they had done some time ago. For some reason, Xavis felt sleepy at every turn, and often climbed up on the shell to lie on Hardy's body in the middle of speaking. Now, it is basically difficult for him to wake up. Hades himself is not as active as they are, so he sits on the shell and holds Xavius ​​motionless—just like he himself "long time ago" When the body" fell asleep, Xavius ​​held him like that, and what surprised Poseidon was that Hades, who seemed to be calm and stable, like Xavius, liked to touch the person in his arms. .

When Poseidon swam past, he happened to see Hades pinch Xavius's nose lightly, but he seemed afraid that his hand would wake him up if he was too strong, so he just touched it lightly and then let go. But after a while, he poked the opponent's cheek with his hand again, feeling the touch from his fingers.

Hades glanced at him when he heard the words, seemed a little surprised, and shook his head cautiously: "What's wrong?"

He knew that Poseidon would not come to them if there was nothing wrong. Generally speaking, he would come to Hera and Demeter as soon as he emerged from the water, unless he had already noticed to where something is wrong.

"This ocean is shrinking." Poseidon frowned and said the fact that everyone's eyelids twitched several times, "And I tried to make the water source start to replace, but this ocean didn't respond to me, in fact I don't feel their affinity anymore either."

As soon as Hera heard his words, she immediately jumped from the branch to the surface of the water, and asked in great surprise, "Poseidon, what's going on?"

"The scope of this ocean is shrinking, although it is very slow, but I can feel it," he looked at the person in Hades' arms, "Although the ocean is under my control, in the final analysis, the survival of this ocean depends on On Xavius, I have noticed that the circulation of the water area has become slow some time ago, and the sea water is gradually decreasing. No matter how hard I use my strength, the circulation of the water area cannot be accelerated. It is no longer possible to control the situation of animals in the ocean, and no new animals will be born after they die." He pursed his lips, and made a guess that he didn't want to believe, "I always feel that this ocean... .”

Everyone was shocked, and almost at the same time they turned their eyes to the person in Hades' arms.

This water area is dependent on Xavius. Xavius ​​said that this is the sea water that was swallowed along with him, and has a close relationship with him, even if Poseidon came later and took over the reproduction of this sea area. , but once there is a problem with Xavius, who is closely connected with the waters, then even Poseidon will do his best to save this seawater. Poseidon has already said that the seawater is dying, so it proves that Xavius Something is wrong with myself.

Savis was still the same as before, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly when he was sleeping with his eyes closed, his face didn't seem to change at all, he didn't look like a dying person at all, and his whole body wasn't considered weak, he slept as usual Very heavy, if Poseidon hadn't discovered the change in the sea area, they might not have regarded Xavius' deep sleep as abnormal at all.

What frustrates them the most is that Savis often pretends that he is sleepy and lies in Hades' arms. Savius ​​closed his eyes and took a nap in the arms of Xavius, that is, Xavius ​​was lying in Hades' arms and sleeping, sometimes for a long time, they didn't even know when Xavius ​​started to become lethargic.

Hestia looked at Hades worriedly: "Savis's godhead is gone, he will face death at any time, and everything that exists in this space is to kill us." As soon as she spoke, Hades As if thinking of something, his face darkened all of a sudden.

Demeter watched Hades's face getting darker and darker, and after swallowing her saliva, she had to tell the fact they had always forgotten: "Before we were born, Xavius ​​had been in this space for too long Now, from the moment his godhead disappears, he is in danger, even if it is not for the attack of this space, he...will face the situation of old age." It is said that Savis was born in the ocean and lost his godhead Even if it is not a god, it can only be regarded as a sea monster. A sea monster without a godhead cannot escape the fate of disappearing even if it has a long life.

Xavius's appearance has been maintained as a teenager, so they have always ignored the fact that Xavius ​​was the first one among them to be swallowed. His weakness was not sudden, but a long time with the passage of time. caused by the suppression of this space.

Hades slowly lowered his head and kissed Savis' forehead. The feather-like kiss made the smile on the corner of Savis's mouth wider. He continued to sleep in a comfortable position—maybe even Savis himself didn't realize the impact of the sudden frequent drowsiness, or maybe it was because Hades was by his side, so he didn't want to think about anything else at all. matter.

Or, even he himself didn't realize that he was actually very close to death.

"Hades, what are you going to do?" Hera asked cautiously.

"We must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible." Hades lowered his head, stroked Xavius' cheek with his hand, and whispered, "He will become like this because the damage in this space accelerates the flow of life, as long as we can Get out of here and you'll be fine." At least until he finds a new godhead for him.

Hera looked at Hades puzzled, and she really wanted to tell Hades that if there was a way to leave here, then they would not be trapped here for so many years, and it was really important to find a way to leave here in a short time. It was not an easy task, but Hestia held him back before he could speak.

She shook her head slightly at everyone, motioning for none of them to speak: "In this case, let's go back separately. In fact, when we were studying that mountain these days, I always felt that it was very likely that we would leave here. It’s an opportunity, but we haven’t seen anything yet, let’s go back and think about it first, if we have an idea, we’ll get together and talk about it.”

She obviously told everyone not to disturb Hades and Xavius. After saying this, she gestured to the two sisters and Poseidon, and then jumped back to the branch first, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. trace.

Demeter looked at the two people on the shell curiously, then followed Hestia back to the tree, and soon there was no sign of her among the leaves.

And Poseidon is worried about the creatures in the sea. In fact, the reason why he came ashore just now is to talk to Xavius ​​to see if he has any discomfort recently, which makes the whole sea area appear strange, but In the current situation, he knew that Hades would not allow himself to wake up Xavius—although everyone knew that it was the most correct way to wake up Xavius ​​by any means in the current situation—so in Savis Before Si Hao, he could only think of a way to slow down the death rate in this water area as much as possible, so he waved at Hades and continued to dive.

Hera watched everyone leave in a daze, and then returned to her branch. However, when she entered behind the lush leaves, she couldn't help but look back at the two people on the shell.

From her line of sight, you can clearly see Hades and Xavius, as well as Hades' movements.

I saw Hades's frown that had been frowned all the time. He didn't know when it let go. He lowered his head and kissed Savis's lips softly, as if he was afraid of waking him up. It might be difficult for Xavis to wake up, but she could feel the careful gentleness from Hades' movements.

Tilting her head slightly, she inexplicably felt a strange emotion. She always felt that she was affected by Hades, and she could only move cautiously, for fear of waking Xavis who was still sleeping.

Many years later, when she left this quiet space to go to the vast world, when she met all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of things, she sat alone in the gorgeous temple, recalling that there were only a few In the dark space of the individual, he suddenly remembered the soft kiss Hades branded on Savis' lips, the careful tenderness, and the strange feeling that flowed in his heart at the beginning, and then he suddenly realized that that emotion was called envy.
