[Greek mythology] Siren

"Hades?" Xavius ​​stepped forward lightly, trying to call the other person's name, "You..."

"Savis?" The other party did not sneer at him as Savis thought, but raised his forehead in distress, "Are you back?"

"En." He tried to walk over, but found that Hades was not vigilant against him, so he walked to the other side, and gestured for Thanatos to wait outside. He sat on the steps and carefully examined Hades. In Si's situation, the other party didn't seem to be any different. Apart from frowning and looking at Persephone with some puzzlement in his eyes, his eyes were a little colder than before. He asked softly, "What did you do before?" Up to the earth?"

Hades nodded.

"Then... You invited Persephone to be a guest, did you tell Demeter?" Xavius ​​asked again.

"Savis," Hades looked at Savis seriously, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "I want her to be my queen."

Xavius ​​froze for a moment, this time he found out what was wrong with Hades.

Although Hades seems to have no difference in this matter, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes when he mentioned Demeter, and his words... basically emphasized that he wanted to make Persephone The thought of staying in the underworld and not letting anyone know, most importantly, the way Hades looked at him and the tone of his speech...It is very similar to Hades' attitude when he treated Rhea: more than respect, not enough love .

As usual, even if Hades was expressionless when talking to him, Xavius ​​could understand the meaning of the other party the moment he spoke, but now... For the first time in a long time, Xavius ​​felt that he could not see through Hades' thoughts.

But Hades would not be such a person who suddenly turned his face. He calmed down and asked, "You just left the underworld to go to the earth. Did you meet anyone except Persephone?"

Hades frowned and thought for a while, but instead of answering Savus, he stood up suddenly: "The entrance to the underworld is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."

"Your Highness?" Thanatos looked at Xavius, and when Hades' situation was unknown, they didn't dare to move at all.

"Go." Xavius ​​nodded, and then let Thanatos leave the hall, "Persephone will temporarily live in the underworld, but Hades, she may not be able to adapt to the environment here, and ...the godhead on her body..."

"The Godhead of the Underworld..." Hades said, looking at Savius, with a faint hostility in his black eyes, and for a moment, Savius ​​felt that Hades would do something to him and take away his godhead. To Persephone, who walked up to Hades and slapped him hard on the shoulder before Hades could strike.

"I don't care what you're trapped in. If you dare to hit me, I'll throw you into the abyss." Hades has always been moody and angry, and it was so easy for him to see through him just now. The hostility in his eyes must be Hades's own consciousness resisting that force. Xavius ​​seldom gets angry with Hades, and now he did it and raised the volume, successfully making Hades' eyes clearer.

"I'm going to settle in Persephone first, and you can calm down by yourself." He pulled up the girl on the ground and left the hall before Hades could react.

Demeter must be sent a message to tell Persephone whereabouts: "Persephone, tell me what happened today." Savis asked her as he walked, "Now I'm still here. I can't send you back to the earth, but I will send a message to your mother, you have to be patient for a while, don't be afraid," he tried to relax his tone, "The environment here is actually a little darker, the sun's light is stopped on the ground, If you calm down, you will find that it is actually much quieter than the earth."

Because she met Savage a few times and her mother often told stories about him, Persephone calmed down. Under the same circumstances, meeting a gentle person made her feel safer than meeting a cold person. .

"I was playing with Artemis and Athena in the forest. On a small slope, there are many small flowers. Artemis and Athena are a little far away from me. I want to weave a wreath for my mother..."

"Persephone said that she wanted to make a garland, but Athena and I were not interested. There were many animals in the forest at that time, and we were a little far away from her. Then we heard her cry, and it seemed that the earth shook. , she had disappeared when we rushed over." Artemis said to Demeter, "We have looked for her nearby before, but we didn't find her nearby."

"The earth shook..." Demeter whispered these words with trembling hands, "Could it be Gaia... But why did she take Persephone away..."

"Demeter?" Athena hesitated, but still handed out a wreath, "This is Persephone's unfinished wreath."

The wreath is made of vines without leaves, and several small white flowers have been woven into it. A brightly blooming narcissus makes all the small flowers around it eclipse, but Demeter looks at the narcissus above, suddenly His face changed: "This is..."

In fact, narcissus can often be seen by the lake, it has nothing special like the wild flowers in the mountains and forests, but it is the sacred flower of the king of the underworld, although the narcissus that grows in the underworld is not this color, but seeing it now , Demeter had to think of another possibility.

If it wasn't the Persephone that Gaia took away, then would Persephone be taken to the underworld?

But... Thinking of the sudden change in Xavius' face before, Demeter became more and more panicked: "I'm going to the underworld." She put away the wreath and left quickly.

Seeing that Demeter seemed to have an idea, the two goddesses didn't take it to heart. Although Demeter is usually gentle and doesn't like to get angry, after all, she participated in the war between the male gods as a goddess. Yes, neither Artemis nor Athena thought that Demeter's abilities would be any worse.

However, a few days later, they realized that the matter was far from over.

When Demeter hurried to the underworld, she realized that the entrance to the underworld had already been closed. She rushed to the ocean, trying to open the passage to the underworld with the help of Poseidon, but Poseidon failed.

"Hades is too powerful and lives in the entire underworld. If he personally orders the underworld to be closed, it will be difficult for us to open the passage from the outside. Now that things are going on, you'd better ask Zeus for help." Demeter rushed again Back to Olympus.

After Zeus heard her request, he nodded quickly and said that he would help, but Hera stopped Zeus: "Breaking the entrance of the underworld for no reason will be regarded as a challenge to the underworld. Although Xavius ​​is gentle, Hades But someone who won’t show mercy.”

Zeus weighed it over and over again, and felt that Hera was right. Even though Zeus boasted that he was the master of the world, he was always afraid of his brother, whose power was unpredictable. Although he was not afraid of fighting, he was right He has no benefit, the sky and the ground have always been two irrelevant worlds, even if he defeats Hades, the spoils are nothing more than the underworld that he never set foot on.

His relationship with Hades is not good. In fact, his relationship with his two brothers is not as good as his three sisters. There is no need to challenge Hades for a Persephone.

Demeter and Hera had a big fight, and Hera thought that she was right to avoid a war from the perspective of Olympus, but she also knew how much Demeter loved her daughter, and she had to find a way during the fight Avoiding Demeter's attack, since she became a god, she has never attacked her except Zeus, but Hestia and Demeter are different to her after all.

The fight between Demeter and Hera overturned half of Olympus. After the fight, Demeter left Olympus. Hera stood there and looked into the distance for a long time, knowing that Hestia did not know When she appeared behind her, she turned around: "I'm still the answer." She looked at Hestia and said word by word, "I will stay by his side, only I will love like this He will think of him like this and will not leave him."

"I didn't intend to persuade you." Hestia walked to her side, "I have understood your temper since before, and I couldn't persuade you before, let alone now."

"That's good." Hera put away her whip and walked towards the temple. Although most of Olympus was destroyed, she knew that it would only take a blink of an eye to recover.

Hestia looked at her receding figure, walked slowly to where she was standing before, and looked at the distance she was looking at before: "Even if it is Olympus surrounded by holy light, the light shining in is not immutable."

Not long after Demeter left, someone felt something was wrong.

She was looking for her daughter everywhere on the earth, she wanted to find Gaia, who was elusive, and she was also trying to find a way to open the entrance to the underworld that had been closed all the time, but she couldn't do any of them, and her beautiful face changed. Her hair lost its luster, her body became crooked, her eyes were soaked with tears for a long time, and because she no longer paid attention to the situation on the earth, without her care, the growth of the plants on the earth lost its regularity, and the flower buds no longer opened. , the fruit fails to ripen, the leaves turn yellow in summer, no new shoots grow after falling from the tree, and the winter without food comes early and shows no sign of leaving.

When the news reached Olympus, Zeus frowned fiercely.
