[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

Chapter 23 The Tears of Metis

The Hesperides is a space created by Hera herself.Without the Starry Night Goddess, Hades and the others could actually see a vast sea of ​​stars here.There is an alternation of day and night here, and the clouds and glow are exactly the same as the outside world.

Under the night sky, the white camellia reveals its fragrance, and the white petals are as delicate as silk, one by one, layer by layer overlapping each other. There is still dew on this beautiful flower, which is crystal clear.

Hera's hand brushed gently over the flowers, tainted with the fragrance of camellia.

"Hades."

"Yeah." He and Hera went out for a walk together.

In order to defeat Cronus as soon as possible, Poseidon suppressed his restless temperament and began to concentrate on practicing martial arts, so he did not go out with Hades and Hera.

"I think I'm a little different from you," Hera said.

"Why do you think so?" Hades stopped and looked at Hera, his emerald green eyes were as calm as a lake without a trace of dust, clean and clear.

"I don't know." Hera said hesitantly.From the moment he was conscious, he discovered the difference between himself and Hades.But he couldn't tell what the difference was.This caused Hera to be unable to truly integrate into this world.

When Hades Poseidon was mourning about Rhea and Zeus, he didn't even have a trace of resentment.He has no hatred for Rhea, not even Cronus.

He looked at the sorrow and joy of the surrounding gods like a bystander, but he could only look at it this way, and there was a transparent glass cover between them.

Hera was the one inside, and he stared blankly at the people outside.I want to have the same emotional changes as them, but I hit the wall again and again.

Maybe he is a deity who is born without emotion.Hera thought.

Hades is the one who has always taken care of him, and Hera can confide in him.

Hades looked at Hera as an adult, but maybe Hera had always been a child in Kronos' stomach, which left him too deep.So Hades still treats him as Hera did back then.

In the eyes of Hades, Hera has always been his young brother.

He's just not good at expressing his heart.

His clumsy manner made Hades feel a little worried.

"You shouldn't think about it." Hades grabbed Hera's shoulders and made him look directly into his eyes.

In Hera's eyes he saw his own face.

Hades said, "You are you, Hera."

After receiving Hades' reply, Hera smiled with some relief.

Hades would always comfort him that way.

Hera hugged Hades, closed her eyes and whispered in his ear, "I like you."

Like from the heart without a trace of lust.

"Me too." Hades doted on Hera, and his affection for this younger brother has always been unreserved.He tolerated Hera's temper, and Hera thought of those little problems that Hades didn't think were shortcomings.

After getting help from Themis, Iapetus, one of the twelve Titan gods, and Prometheus, the son of Clymene, the goddess of fame, also surrendered to Zeus and was willing to be his guide. How they beat Kronos.

The young god told Zeus that to save the cyclops and hundred-armed giants who were imprisoned for offending the heavenly father Uranus, they might get a lot of help from them because of this kindness.

Adopted the opinion of Prometheus, after he left.Zeus began a conversation with Metis.

"Metis, do you think the son of Iapetus can be trusted?" Zeus welcomed Prometheus on the surface, but in his heart he was always worried that he was a member of the Titans.

Zeus is suspicious and careful, he has a dazzling and handsome appearance like the sun, but like the clouds in the sky, it hides his true heart.

"I don't know," said Metis.

Hearing what Metis said, Zeus frowned and said, "There are times when the goddess of wisdom doesn't know?" He felt that Metis was perfunctory and was making trouble.

Maybe it was because he was too pleasing to the goddess of justice, which made Metis dissatisfied?Zeus guessed her thoughts in his heart.

Metis was a little disappointed by her husband's ignorance, calmed down and said again: "Whether Prometheus really has other ideas or not, what he said is right, if the giants of the two races listen to you, The ordinary gods don’t need to be afraid.”

"Especially the hundred-armed giants. Their powerful fighting power will make even the warlike Hyperion retreat when they see it."

"If Uranus hadn't been thrown into Tartarus for their ugliness, the giants who didn't become vassals of the titan gods would certainly give us the worst headaches now."

After telling what he knew, Metis felt even more tired.Recently, her divine power has been consumed very quickly, and a new life has been born in her body.

This newborn god was powerful in the past, exhausting the divine power of the mother body, which made Metis very tired.

His pale face was still beautiful and beautiful, but Zeus never noticed Metis' haggardness. Now all he thought about was how to defeat Cronus and become the king of gods.

Metis didn't want to become a stumbling block on Zeus' road because of her own reasons, so she found a reason to leave.When he stepped out of the threshold, he looked back at the young and handsome god, and found that he was completely immersed in his own thoughts and had no time to take care of her.

Metis' eyes were a little sore.

Walking out of the palace, she stopped Ning Fu from coming to help her.

Walking forward alone, she raised her head and looked ahead, but her vision was gradually blurred by tears.

In the future, a race named human spread across the entire continent. When they picked up this round pearl with a halo at the seaside, they thought it was a pearl honed from a pearl oyster. In fact, it was not, it was the tears of the goddess of the ocean.

Caressing his flat belly that has not yet bulged, Metis placed his expectations on this child.

Zeus, who saw Hera again, also saw several brothers who hadn't seen clearly at the Olympus banquet before.

Steady Hades stood beside Hera and Poseidon on the other, and the two goddesses followed behind them.

"Hello my brothers, I'm Zeus." A god with brilliant blond hair greeted them, smiling all over his face, his eyes completed a beautiful crescent shape, attracting attention
