[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

His Highness Nix, the Goddess of the Night, wrapped the sky in a black gauze, so as not to reveal a trace of light.The sky above the sacred mountain of Central Olympus was covered with dark clouds, with countless lightnings swimming in it, and even more deafening noises continued to ring out, which was like the roar of a giant or the anger of the sea.

In this bad weather, the Queen of God is about to give birth.

"Riya." The God King held the God Queen's hand tightly and refused to let go. He looked at his wife worriedly.He doesn't care about the child who will be born, he only cares about the woman he loves most, his sister Rhea, the goddess of time.

Rhea's face was covered with cold sweat, and she looked like she was suffering, which made Cronus hate the unborn child even more.

"You go, don't let the blood stain your eyes, you go!" Rhea said while enduring the labor pains stronger than the waves.

"How can I leave with you like this?"

"Go away, Cronus." The goddess of the earth rushed to the temple after hearing the news. She drove her son out and closed the gate.

Sitting in the chair beside Rhea's bed, she said, "Is everything ready?"

Rhea gritted her teeth and nodded.

At present, there are only a few of their confidantes in this temple besides Gaia and Rhea.They are determined not to tell what the two goddesses have done, so the goddesses are very relieved.

Cronus waited anxiously outside the temple but was invited away by other gods because of something, which was also planned by Gaia.

Today she came to transfer the child born to Rhea so that he would not be eaten by his father, just like the brothers and sisters before.

Rhea's delivery this time was not as smooth as before. If she hadn't been a god, this dystocia would have already taken her life.But accompanied by the goddess of the earth, she still gave birth to the youngest child.

There was a loud bang in the sky, and lightning illuminated the whole world.All of this seemed to be celebrating the birth of the God of Thunder.

Rhea took a quick look and knew that it was a blue-eyed and blond child who was taken away by Gaia.

Gaia signaled the maid to hand over the swaddle she had prepared, and she pointed a little, and the stone wrapped in cotton cloth turned into a newborn baby, which looked exactly like the one held in Gaia's hands.

Give the child to another maid so that she can hide her body and leave Olympus first.In order for this subcontracting matter to proceed smoothly, Gaia even asked Nix for help to change the sky and cover up the light.

Looking back from the back of the maid leaving with reluctance, Gaia put the swaddle disguised with stones in Rhea's hands.

After Gaia told her daughter, she went out to find Cronus herself.As long as he can swallow the stone without being seen, they will succeed in everything they do.

"What is this?" Poseidon asked in surprise.

After he finished speaking, he found that his eldest brother Hades and his eldest sister Hestia looked very bad.Demeter looked at the baby stone with a strange expression on her face.Only Hera was still sound asleep in Hades' arms.

For some reason, Hera always fell asleep more than he woke up during this time.

Now Hera has the appearance of a five or six-year-old child.The platinum-blond hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, which had never been cut before, and his facial features became more and more exquisite and beautiful.As long as Poseidon pinches his soft cheeks without Hera crying, Hades' fist will hit him on the head on time. Even so, Poseidon still enjoys playing tricks on Hera.

"The Mother God abandoned us." Hestia said indifferently.Her always soft eyes became indifferent when she saw the stone.

Hades and Hestia exchanged a look, and they saw the disappointment in each other's eyes.

Poseidon, who understood, kicked the swaddling clothes wrapped in stone fiercely, and Demeter, who also understood, had tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, sooner or later we will get out!" Poseidon took his sister Demeter's hand and walked towards Hades and the others.

Hera, who was awakened by Poseidon's voice, opened her eyes sleepily.

There is a look of doubt in these devoid of mortal eyes, making it even more hazy like gems shrouded in white mist.He yawned, and wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye.

Jumping down from Hades' arms, Hera, who was in a deep sleep but aware of everything around her, walked to the disguised swaddle and pointed at it, "Is this something used by the Mother God to deceive the Father God?" ?”

"Hera, you shouldn't know this," Hades said.Because of their appearance, they always treated their younger brother Hera as a child.They didn't want Hera to be hurt by their parents' indifference.

"Hades." Hera called his name directly.

"But that's the truth, isn't it?" Hera's words pierced their hearts like a sharp sword.

They also hoped that God the Father would let them go out, and they also thought that God the Mother would save them so that they could see the light again.It's just what happened today. They knew that maybe the mother god couldn't save them, so they used tricks to let their other brother live.

However, they are not reconciled.

In any case, after all, it is difficult to calm down.

Hundreds of years have passed after countless days and nights spent in this place of inescapable darkness, even outside, and yet they are still imprisoned here.Do we have to wait until the moment of Ragnarok to escape from the sky?

If his divine power is strong enough, he can use his divine personality to rescue the brothers from this place, but until now he is still a child.

More than enough heart, but not enough strength.Hera was sad.

While the other children of Cronus were still trapped in his womb, the new god who had been transferred from Olympus awoke in the arms of the Cretan nymph.

His sky-colored eyes resembled his father, the god-king Cronus.

Time is the least valuable to the gods.They have a long life without end.

In the huge bronze mirror of the Queen's Temple, Rhea can see the life of Zeus in Crete.She watched him grow from a baby to a teenager.Gradually, the kindness in Rhea's eyes disappeared and turned into something that even scared her.

Cronus came to Rhea's palace, and the god wearing the crown of the god king gently called out her name to his wife sitting in front of the dressing table.

"Ria."

Remove the divine power attached to the bronze mirror before he comes.At this moment, Rhea's face and her husband's figure were reflected in the smooth mirror before Rhea's eyes.

She turned her head and smiled slightly, as bright as flowers.

"You are here." The goddess said softly.

The deeds of the god-king couple who were reunited after a broken mirror are widely circulated in the god world.The goddesses began to envy the goddess Rhea who had been merciful before.

People’s hearts are changeable, so why isn’t God?

The sun penetrated the clouds and fell on the endless sea, dyeing the waves golden.

Gaia came to Crete, and she saw the young gods on the island having fun with a group of nymphs, walking towards Zeus with a calm pace.

Where the goddess of the earth walked, the animals and plants rejoiced.The green grass on the footsteps is scattered and swaying his body, hoping that the eyes of the gods can stay on his body.

These mountain elves, who had never seen the goddess of the earth, dodged away in fear of the powerful divine power of the goddess.Gaia didn't blame them for their rudeness and went straight to the young man with a white gauze covering his face.

Sensing the presence of other gods, Zeus immediately removed the covering from his face.

"You are?" Facing the goddess Zeus with unfathomable divine power, he dared not make a mistake easily.

Gaia didn't answer, she looked at the son of the god king who had been transferred by her with a smile.Afterwards, under Zeus's unbearable eyes, he finally revealed his identity and told him about Zeus' life experience.

Zeus was a little surprised by what Gaia said.Living on this island since he was a child, he always thought that the Nymph Goddess was his mother. Although he had asked, the Nymph Goddess always avoided answering.

The young god Zeus frowned his beautiful eyebrows, he had some doubts about what the goddess in front of him said.

"Do you have any evidence?" asked the boy with blond hair and blue eyes.

Gaia took Zeus's hand, and the divine power radiated and shone from where they touched.Just like Hades checked Hera's divinity before.

"Is it clear now?"

Zeus nodded.The moment Gaia held his hand, he felt the magical feeling of being connected by blood.

Although Zeus believed her words at this moment, his vigilance towards this goddess he had never seen before never weakened.

Gaia was helpless, she used her fingers to gently curl her brilliant blond hair to explain those past events to him.

"If you think about it, come to the earth to find me, if you don't want to" Gaia looked up at this beautiful island and said, "Spending your life on this island is a good choice " After speaking, these goddesses took a deep look at him, then turned around and disappeared into the sky with divine light.

Zeus stepped on the soft white sand and frowned thinking about what Gaia had said to him.

I have known Zeus for a long time, and this time I came to play with him again. Oceanus, the god of oceans and rivers, and Metis, the goddess of wisdom, the daughter of the goddess of the sea, Tesis, saw Zeus standing alone under the sun. Can't help but find it funny.She walked towards him quietly to scare him, but was discovered by Zeus.

"Metis, stop messing around." Zeus grabbed the slender and white wrist of the sea goddess and pulled her to a place under the shade of a tree, telling him about Gaia's coming to him.

Zeus trusted Metis, his playmate since he was a child, who gave him guidance when he was lost, and this time was no exception.

The water blue eyes of Metis, who heard the secrets about the God King's family affairs, were full of surprise.She always thought that Zeus was just an ordinary god, but she didn't expect him to have such a big background.

Gaia and Rhea, who had participated in the original incident, kept Zeus's identity a secret, and no one knew it except them.

Knowing that Zeus is the son of the god king, Metis didn't think about his hesitation first, but wondered if the father god would agree to let him marry him if he knew Zeus was the son of the god king.

Thinking of this moment, the fair and clean face of the Goddess of Wisdom of the Sea was dyed with a faint red glow, which was astonishingly beautiful.

She has long fallen in love with the handsome young god of this island.

Zeus didn't pay attention to Metis, he was full of what Gaia said at the moment.

To save the brothers who were swallowed by their fathers.God, what should he do?

Zeus, who had never stepped out of Crete, suddenly felt a headache when he faced his amazing life experience and the mission Gaia entrusted to him.

At this moment, the son of Cronus has not become as cunning and treacherous as he has been thousands of years later, and he can even see many qualities that later generations of gods do not have.

"Then are you willing to save them?" Metis asked him.If Zeus refused, she must persuade him.The goddess thought firmly in her heart.Just being trapped on this small island has no future.Metis' light-colored eyes darkened like the sea at night.

"Of course!" said the young god firmly.

"I'm just confused about whether my ability can get them out, after all..." He didn't say the next thing, but the goddess of wisdom of the sea naturally understood Zeus's hesitation.

After all, what he has to face is Cronus, the second-generation god king who defeated the heavenly father Uranus, the most powerful god of the Titans, the god of creation and destruction of time.

Young Zeus lowered his eyes, golden lashes gently covering his blue eyes like elegant feathers.

"Don't worry, if that's the case, why don't you go to the goddess of the earth and ask her?" Regarding Zeus's lack of power, Metis believed that Gaia, one of the oldest gods in the world, would find a solution.

Accompanied by Metis, Zeus came to the earth and successfully found the Temple of the Earth.

This temple exuding an ancient atmosphere is composed of a huge piece of granite, the stone walls have been carved over the years, and mottled moss is all over it.

The vines are entwined on the huge towering trees around the temple, and they hang down to the ground and grow new plants.Huge boa constrictors cling to trees and vines to hide their bodies and blend with plants, and some flower snakes are gorgeous and wander around outside the temple.

Although the god Zeus is not afraid of them, it still looks a little disgusting.There was a look of disgust on his face.

Metis saw him and patted his hand, beckoning him not to do this.The divine snake is the sacred beast of the goddess of the earth. If she sees Zeus like this, she will not like her.

With a loud bang, the stone door opened by itself.This startled many snakes crawling on the ground.

They walked into the temple side by side and saw the goddess Gaia, the mother of the earth, sitting on the highest place.

On both sides of her divine seat stood two huge divine snakes, their scales were hard and exuded a cold radiance.The bright red snake letter was revealed, and the highly poisonous saliva flowed to the ground.However, there is this gorgeous and charming goddess sitting between the two giant snakes. Compared with the two, there is a stark difference, which makes it even more strange.

"Zeus, you are still here." Gaia said to the God of Thunder, her full lips outlined a beautiful smile.

"Yes, goddess." In any case, Zeus always had an inexplicable disgust for Gaia.This may be because he is too weak, so he is afraid of the resistance of gods who are more powerful than him.

Zeus explained his purpose.

Gaia seemed to have expected it a long time ago. After she stretched out her hand and the divine light flashed, there was an extra gem in her hand.

"You are the only God of Thunder in this world, you just lacked time for promotion."

"This is the heart of Eros, one of the original gods. You can obtain powerful divine power by fusing it with your own divine power."

Zeus walked up the steps and walked in front of Gaia step by step. He looked at the heart-shaped dark red gemstone in Gaia's hand, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Should he take Gaia's word for it?

Zeus was puzzled, and it was Metis who helped him make this decision.

The last time Zeus passed out was the smiling Gaia sitting among the snakes and the pale face of Metis.

When Zeus woke up, he found himself in a temple under the sea.

It was Metis who brought him here.

"Are you better, Zeus?" Metis asked him worriedly.

When Zeus ate Eros's heart spar, he passed out, but Gaia told her that it was just the result of being unable to bear the divine power for a while, as long as he woke up, he would be fine.So Metis took Zeus out of the Temple of the Earth and back to the Sea Realm.

The sunlight is diluted by the sea water and becomes soft and clear. In this transparent sea temple, you can see the fish swimming leisurely outside.

Metis, the goddess of wisdom of the sea, wearing a pearl hair crown, is elegant and dignified in a light blue gauze dress.

Faced with Metis' concern, Zeus shook his head and said he was fine.

But Metis, who was still afraid of something wrong, had already ordered the sea nymph to invite her father Oceanus, the god of rivers and oceans, to show Zeus to check.

Metis already regarded Zeus as her husband in her heart.

The author has something to say:

I was thinking about how to write Zeus when he was young.In the end, I wrote it and wrote it like this.

It’s painful to not have an outline, but writing an outline will definitely be overthrown by me, and then I will be entangled to death and finally abandon the article altogether. In order to avoid this situation, I still don’t write an outline! (Don't make excuses for being lazy!)

Then the protagonist of this article is actually Hera, but why he played so little, I am also very entangled, alas!What a failure!

Isn't this a lot of plots that need to be paved...

Writing directly from the perspective of Hera, many things are not comprehensive. (Speaking as if everything is written clearly now...)

Then, I kind of want to eat dumplings with Shanxi old mature vinegar. (digression)

I think about what to say.

That is, can you readers give me some interaction when reading the article?So I can write it down.It is also good to ask some questions to catch bugs.Otherwise, writing and writing will be tiring... It's not that I didn't satisfy you as you said, such as the number of words.

When Hera Hades and the others come out of their stomachs, they can start writing about Hera.

Then a little angel asked whether Ganymede is Hera's clone (this will turn into QAQ)

Actually not.

Ganymedes after crossing is Hera.

Now, the more I write, the more I write... I hate it, what should I do?

Hey, no matter, I'll talk after I finish writing.

I'm going to write other ideas after I finish writing.One book of Greek mythology is enough, writing this is too much brain...
