[Greek mythology] Siren

Xavius ​​used seawater as a weapon to block Poseidon's attack, and he had seen Poseidon's battle, but Poseidon rarely saw Xavius ​​make a move.

"Poseidon, you have lived in the underwater world for a long time, and you have even forgotten what happened back then. Do you think I am really incapable of fighting you?" The water gun in Seves's hand penetrated Poseidon's body. shoulder, he looked at Poseidon with cold eyes, "You are simply less sensible than when you were young."

This "childhood" refers to the time when they were still in the belly of Uranus, which would allow Poseidon to fall into the belly of Uranus. There was a sister in the front and a brother in the back, and there was a Savis guarding them. Basically, he didn't suffer any crimes. At that time, he had seen Xavis make a move. However, after so many years in charge of the sea area, he gradually forgot the past and felt that he could easily subdue Xavis.

Poseidon held Xavius' water gun with his backhand, the trident condensed divine power, and the icy breath spread across the entire sea area. The sea surface was choppy, and the waves were high, rushing down one after another, and many humans living by the sea were sucked into the water , Even the countries living on the plains saw the high waves, and the human kingdom was filled with screams of fear for a while. The king summoned his subjects and arranged the sacrifices urgently. cool down.

On the surface of the sea, Xavius ​​was about to summon his own shell, but a dark light shot from behind him, directly piercing into Poseidon's chest. Poseidon couldn't help but howl.

Amphitrite was terrified, and hurried over to catch him. She protected Poseidon, and faced Xavius ​​in a fighting posture.

Xavius ​​sighed again.

Someone behind him shrouded him under a dark cloak, and a pair of powerful big hands around his waist firmly encircled him. He patted Hades on the shoulder to appease his anger.

Hades was much calmer than the furious Poseidon, he just glanced at him coldly, and took Xavius ​​back to the underworld.

"It's been many years since I realized for the first time." Back in the underworld, Xavius ​​leaned on Hades and sighed, "How long have we lived in the belly of Uranus before? I don't feel it, but now they are brothers and sisters who are the same, and today they are against each other and tomorrow they are coercive, so fresh, but why do I feel so upset when I look at it."

"So you are destined to stay with me in the underworld." Hades rested his chin on the top of his head, and his voice could not discern emotion, "They can do whatever they like, as long as it doesn't affect the underworld."

As a place that distinguishes the dead from the living, the underworld has its own uniqueness from the moment it appears. They can enter and leave Olympus and the sea at will, but once the underworld is closed, no one else can enter except Gaia’s generation of gods. Come.

"I really like the same thing." He likes not to get up on Hades, and likes to poke his chest when he has nothing to do. Occasionally, he can feel Hades' seldom naughtiness, and he enjoys it more often. Seeing his little enthusiasm, "It's just a pity." The brothers and sisters who were so good back then, now each have their own thoughts, probably will never get together again.

The next day, Savis got the news that Amphitrite, who was crying at his desk that day, brought Poseidon back to the sea after Poseidon was injured. The couple stayed in the palace for a long time, but Hades did not come down Ruthless, Poseidon's injury quickly healed, and the husband and wife reappeared in front of people is also very sweet, Amphitrite even accepted the horse that Poseidon brought home, but the god The family relationship between them is indifferent, and the two of them will naturally not give him too much attention. For Poseidon, this child is more like a trophy - it symbolizes that he has captured his younger brother's wife, and this child is the result.

There was also news from Olympus that Hera, who was dissatisfied with Zeus bringing back a child from the earth earlier, did not know how to communicate with Zeus, and tolerated the child living under her nose, but it was about the Queen of Heaven. Rumors of bad temper and jealousy spread to the underworld more and more frequently, and Xavius ​​knew that the goddess who killed and fought decisively back then was finally gone.

Demeter and Persephone gradually got used to life in the underworld. What happened before had a certain impact on the spirit of the mother and daughter. Now they prefer to stay in the palace all day long, playing Flowers and eats fruits, and rarely communicates with others.

It’s just that Demeter lived in the underworld all the year round, after all, it had a huge impact on the earth. The crops on the earth appeared to grow slowly for many years. People began to prey on animals, and even began to raise animals in captivity for food, and cultivated more plants. It’s a pity for their efforts They didn't get much in return, and more and more people died of starvation. Most of the souls who came to the underworld were in a trance, and were accidentally pulled into the bottom of the Styx.

The cries of the soul continued for a moment, and it actually affected Hades and Xavius.

The tragic situation on the earth finally alarmed Gaia, who hadn’t appeared for a long time. On that day, the earth radiated a warm light, and the plants blossomed and bore fruit overnight. Human beings thanked the gods for coming, picked the fruits and devoured them, even the animals were swallowing them. Tears flowed down the sweet sap.

Gaia went to Olympus in person, and it is said that even Rhea was trained by her.

In the underworld, Nyx, who was rumored to be asleep, suddenly appeared, causing Karon, who was taking the boat, to tremble several times.

Compared with the expressionless Hades, this goddess is really like a god walking out of the ice and snow, exuding a cold breath all over her body. She got off the boat and pulled back a few souls who were about to be dragged to the bottom of the water , and then walked to the palace where Hades was.

All the gods bowed their heads to her.

She came in front of Hades and Xavius, and said coldly and stiffly: "Demeter must return to the world."

Hades conjured up a seat for her: "She insisted on staying in the underworld to accompany Persephone."

"Then let Persephone go back with her."

"Hera tricked her into eating the Pomegranate."

"There's nothing difficult about it." She paused, then said, "Leave this matter to me."

Hades made a "please" gesture.

After Nix left, Savis said in surprise: "I always thought she was asleep."

"I just fell asleep, but I can wake up." Just like Tartarus, even if it is turned into an abyss, it still has self-awareness. Although the possibility of waking up is not high, there is a possibility after all.

Nyx quickly settled the matter. With her help, Demeter and Persephone were able to return to the earth, but Persephone ate the pomegranate, so There is a certain time in a year to return to the underworld.

Gaia went to Olympus in person, and finally got Zeus's promise not to trouble Demeter anymore. However, just as Gaia left Olympus, Hera issued an oracle: "If you don't always guard Demeter Persephone, she will tragically lose her life."

Since then, Demeter followed her daughter back and forth between the underworld and the earth. When she was on the earth, the earth was full of flowers and fruits. When she left, there was no grass growing on the earth, and even the weather gradually became colder. In the four seasons, people have figured out this law, kept animals in captivity to store food to survive the difficult winter, and planted seeds when the flowers bloomed in the coming year, working hard day after day for life.

Hard work made them reduce the number of sacrifices, and gradually there was an exchange of goods between countries, so that later, before the two countries went to war, the monarch would first look at the grain depots of his own country and calculate whether the grain was enough to support They are consumed in winter.

Human life has gradually changed from relying on the oracle to relying on oneself. Although there have been many wars on the earth due to the interference of the gods, and various people with divine power participated in the wars and affected the outcome of the war, human concepts are indeed gradually changing. change.

Gaia finally turned into the earth and fell into a deep sleep. On that day, Demeter brought Persephone back to the earth. When spring came, flowers bloomed all over the earth overnight. Gaia's figure became taller, and she lightly Lightly made a hug gesture, lowered his head slightly, and gradually fell asleep.Her figure gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes, becoming the first warm wind that year in spring, blowing across the whole earth, making people involuntarily show a warm smile.

On the other side of Olympus, Zeus and Hera spent tens of millions of years in constant quarrels and reconciliation, and the number of children of Zeus continued to increase, but later on, the children born from human women gradually lost their divine power. , and he no longer takes the children back to Olympus; Poseidon still provokes Olympus from time to time, and he also has many children born to non-Amphitrite, and Xavius ​​can sometimes hear it through the sea His crying, but in the mouths of the few human souls who can still see the Sea God, the Queen of the Sea is still the only existence that can appease the furious Sea God.

It seems that many things are changing, yet some things seem to remain the same.

There are new things in the sky and sea every day, and even the human beings on the earth have a new life.

Until later, the deeds of the gods gradually decreased, and many people gradually regarded "Olympus" as a legend. When these human beings were extradited to the underworld, everyone felt incredible, with a look of "the legend is actually true". With a look, Savis, who has been out of the underworld for a long time, realizes that it has been so long.

One day, after seeing off Persephone and Demeter, Xavius ​​wandered by the River Styx and saw Hestia whom he hadn't seen for many years. There was a sacred aura about her who was unmarried for many years. She has sharp eyebrows and a graceful figure, standing by the Styx River is a sight.

Xavius ​​hasn't seen her for a long time. Since Olympus became lively, his younger brother and sister turned against each other, and Hestia also hid in Olympus like Gaia. See you again after many years. Xavius ​​found that she is still The way I remember it.

"Some time ago, I heard that the curse on Eros was lifted, and Hades actually had a time to let go." She chuckled and said to Savis, "Aphrodite has been begging you all these years, it can be regarded as Pay attention to this child." At that time, Eros put his care on Hades, and Hades cursed Eros after breaking through the confinement. Eros has been a child for so many years, and he has been with his wife for many years. There is very little time to return to adulthood. Aphrodite begged and begged for this child, and now it can be considered that Hades has forgiven her.

"Actually, we all forgot about it. Aphrodite couldn't come in, so we thought we had a grudge." Savis had a conversation with her, and Hestia said that he was leaving.

"I just want to meet you." She looked at Hades who was walking slowly, with a gentle smile on her face, "Olympus and the sea are flying around every day, although there are not many gods born these years. , but they still have the ability to make trouble everywhere, and the changes on the earth are also fast, and the same for a while, after all, human life is too short." She looked at Xavius, who naturally leaned towards Hades, with a gleam in her eyes With a look of nostalgia, "It's great that you haven't changed all this time."

She waved goodbye to the two and left this world where time did not pass.

Xavius ​​held the hand extended by Hades, and walked with him on the edge of the Styx River. The world that humans avoid, has a tranquility that is not found in the entire God's Domain.

They didn't speak, they leaned against each other, walked and stopped by the river Styx, this world has always been gray, just like the dim world many years ago, they walked from there to here, thousands of years passed by them Hastily skipped, leaving no trace.
