[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

At night, the bright moon hangs high outside the window.

Lying on a big soft bed, Ganymedes had a dream.

This is a place he has never been to, neither Troad in the world nor Olympus in the gods.

Under a dark and gloomy sky, the ground was covered with countless white lilies.But at this moment, he was standing alone in the sea of ​​flowers.

The color of the lily is as bright as the moonlight.They bloom petals to reveal slender stamens, exuding a delicate fragrance.

He wanted to bend down to smell the fragrance of the flowers, but the white flowers in front of him turned into pale and thin bones and stretched out towards him...

In this way, Ganymedes was awakened by this dream.

He sat on the bed, his curly hair sticking to it with sweat.

Ganymedes recalled what he had dreamed just now, and couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

The night wind blows the white gauze hanging by the window, and the huge silver moon disk in the sky seems to be right in front of you.

After waking up without any sleepiness, he got out of bed and wanted to go for a walk outside.

He put on the sandals woven by nymphs and a thin coat and walked out the door.

Speaking of it, it has been a while since modern times to the age of the gods.

Ganymedes misses the succulents on the window of the small house he rented, the air pineapple next to the computer, and the few stray cats in the community who came here and ran around begging for food. .

Stepping on the soft grass, the cool wind brings the unique fragrance of the grass and trees.This made Ganymedes slightly forget the nightmare he had before.

He picked a path at random and walked aimlessly.

The moonlight shining down on the road in front of his eyes also brings light to passers-by who walk at night in the world.People thank Selene, the god of the full moon, and cut off its horns to sacrifice to the goddess when slaughtering a bull.

Luminous butterflies are flying on the grass among the flowers, shedding a little bit of fluorescent light.The luminous butterfly has blue and black intertwined wings, but a golden butterfly suddenly flew in front of Ganymedes.

It flaps its wings gently, and its bright colors attract people to follow its direction like a streetlight.

As if bewitched, Ganymedes only had this golden butterfly in his eyes, and he walked into the range of a palace in the direction where it was flying.

This place was a temple he had never seen before.

Hebe, the goddess of youth, took him to most of the fun places in Olympus.

However, he has never been here.

Under the shade of trees, a palace is built here with its back against the ridge.The butterfly did not know where it flew, Ganymedes stopped and watched everything in front of him.

You have to walk up a long white jade staircase to reach the gate of the temple, but there is a huge tree beside it.

Ganymedes didn't know what kind of tree it was, but the tree was so towering that it covered most of the moon with clouds.The green leaves are also dyed black because of the night, but the moonlight makes it glow with a faint silver light.

It was like a miracle, but this place was originally the place where the gods lived.

He raised his foot to step on the snow-like jade steps, but a bird's cry interrupted him.

He looked in the direction of the voice, and a brilliance like a vast galaxy came into his eyes.

At this point, Ganymedes lost consciousness.

Terry lived in the temple of Olympus, and he was not served by the servants of the gods on the holy mountain, but the sea fairies who followed him all the way from the ocean.

Soft mulberry wraps around their graceful bodies, pearls light up their swan-like necks, and long seaweed-like hair is decorated with coral.

Sea nymphs surround Triton and serve him his meals.

On the other side of the large dining table, a god of Hades was sitting aside watching this scene, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Triton, who was so stared at by Hypnos that he couldn't eat, gave the uninvited sleeping god a hard look, and waved the maids to leave.

"What are you doing here?" Triton, who had had enough of Hypnos, abandoned the gorgeous and elegant daily greetings among the gods and directly asked the God of Sleep.

"I miss you." Sleeping God took out a plump and attractive cherry from the agate plate and put it on his lips.

Triton just wanted to reply him with a "hehe".

Triton, who was so stunned by him, simply pushed away the dishes in front of him and looked at him like a sleepy god.

But Triton, as the fifth-generation god, is really not as thick-skinned as the second-generation god Hypnos.

After being defeated, he could only weakly say to Sleeping God: "Your Highness Hypnos, I am willing to accompany you in whatever you want, whether it is going to the sea or going to the underworld."

"After this matter is over, you can go to the sea world, or you can go to the underworld."

When Hypnos smiled, his silver eyes always narrowed, looking like an innocent boy.

But to Triton, it seemed inexplicably creepy.

"Mother God, I want to go back to the ocean..." Triton, the prince who called Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, revealed his true feelings.

"It's that simple?" After hearing the sleepy god's appeal, Triton's eyes were filled with surprise.

"It's that simple." Hypnos confirmed.

"Don't play tricks on me." Triton still didn't believe what Hypnos said.He had a feeling of being tied to a thief ship.

When Ganymedes woke up, the cold moonlight in his memory was replaced by the scorching sun.

"Is this another dream?" Holding his head on his hands, he recalled what happened last night, but found that he had forgotten it, leaving a few vague impressions.

Golden butterflies, towering giant trees, mysterious palaces...

When he was still remembering these things, two nymphs walked into his bedroom from the outside. Seeing that Ganymedes had gotten up, they saluted and said, "The Queen of Heaven has returned to Olympus."

Does this count as asking Xiaosan to see the main room?Ganymedes, who turned his attention to the side for a moment, turned green when he thought of this.

Although he was only framed by rumors and became Zeus' lover, he was still a little uneasy in his heart and said what kind of thing it was!

After sending Nymph away, Ganymedes put on his clothes as if resigned to his fate, and went to the temple of Olympus to meet the Queen of Heaven.

The temple was full of all kinds of gods, even more than the people who came at the banquet.

Ganymedes, who sneaked into the hall from one side, was finally relieved when he saw Hebe, and greeted him as if seeing a relative.

Hebe also saw Ganymede, and she waved to him, beckoning him to come to her side.

"Gani, I'm so glad that the Mother Goddess is finally back!" Seeing the excited face of the little girl, Ganymedes didn't want to disturb her.I can only laugh awkwardly.

He wasn't happy at all.Thinking of those described in the history of gods, Ganymedes wanted to return to the human world.

Just as thoughts were flying out of the sky, the hustle and bustle of the hall stopped and became silent.

Holding a scepter and wearing a crown of the god king, Zeus, the god of thunder, walked into the temple first, followed by the envoy Hermes.

Then a goddess in a fiery red dress led a group of subordinate gods forward.

She has a pair of pure golden eyes with divine nature, and her fine light golden hair is tied into a high bun. The Queen of Heaven crown symbolizing power is worn in the middle of the bun, which is different from the goddesses.

Hera, the child of the previous god king Cronus and the god queen Rhea, the goddess of time, is also the wife of the current god king Zeus and the current queen.

Although she was not the first wife of Zeus, she was the first co-governor to share power with him.

The queen of heaven is worthy of the name.

Ganymedes glanced at himself as the noble goddess ascended the golden throne before the steps, and he felt as cold as if he were in an ice cellar.

Heber, who felt that he was abnormal, touched him lightly and asked with his eyes.

Ganymedes smiled at her so that he was all right.

Although Olympus is always like spring all the year round, just now Ganymedes really felt the biting chill and what Ganymedes didn't see, the jealousy deep in the eyes of the Queen of Heaven.
