[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

The peacock flew from the tall branch of the giant tree to the lawn in front of Apollo.

It stared at this foreign god with scorching eyes, and the tail feathers behind it were dazzling, emitting colorful brilliance in the sun.

Hera put down the flute in his hand and looked at Apollo.

Facing the gaze of the gods and the peacock, the young God of Light suddenly felt guilty, and hesitantly took two steps back, and finally sat down on the grass.

The lawn is full of green grass, soft as a carpet.Although Apollo, who was sitting on the ground with his palms on the lawn, didn't feel much pain, he was extremely embarrassed and ashamed at the moment.

If there is a hole in the ground that can be drilled into, then the God of Light will definitely not hesitate, even if it is very disrespectful.

Lowering his head, Apollo, who hadn't recovered from the annoyance and embarrassment in his heart, suddenly saw a hand appearing in front of him.

Hera squatted in front of the fallen Apollo and stretched out her hand to him, saying, "Still standing up?"

Hearing Hera's words, Apollo looked up and saw his eyes.

Eyes that blend the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea.

Apollo looked at the face in front of him, as if fireworks had exploded beside his ears, and there was even more of the sparkling scene in his eyes.

A blush of embarrassment appeared on the face of the God of Light.

Seeing that Apollo did not respond to her for a long time, Hera stood up, and the accessories on her body made a lingering sound.

Hera, who was about to turn around and leave, was pulled by his sleeve. He looked down and saw that it was Apollo who was pulling his sleeve.

"Don't go."

Hera looked at him, and Apollo looked at him.

The two gods looked at each other silently.

The peacock walked proudly with its chest up and its back facing them, regardless of their feelings.

Hera: ...

Apollo:  …

The gods can not eat.Hera ate almost nothing on Mount Olympus except what Zeus brought to him.

The bowl is filled with raspberries of various colors and looks very tempting.

Hera pushed the bowl in front of Apollo.

Maybe little kids like to eat this kind of food that looks good and cute?Hera thought.

Apollo reached for a red raspberry.

He actually didn't like to eat this kind of food, but under Hera's expectant gaze, he was still willing to try it.

The sweet and sour taste is actually very good, but Apollo hates this taste.But this time he didn't taste as bad as he imagined, and even wanted to get another one.

When Apollo held the second raspberry in his hand, he asked Hera who was sitting beside him, "Who are you?"

Apollo, who followed his father Zeus to haunt the banquets of the gods, has almost seen the faces of most of the gods.It is impossible for him to have seen such an outstanding god like Hera, but he has no impression and can't recall it at all.

Apollo, who was sitting on a chair without his feet touching the ground, looked at Hera with a serious expression.

Hera leaned her hand on the table, put her finger on her chin, looked at Apollo and said, "You can call me Seran."

Seran, is there such a god?Apollo looked down in thought.At this moment, Hera turned her attention to the peacock combing her feathers on the lawn.

The peacock was brought to him by Zeus.

This big bird, which looks extravagant and has gorgeous feathers, is actually arrogant and stupid.

Hera had seen it fall from a branch more than once.

It was the blessing of the goddess of luck to be able to fall properly in front of this young god this time.

Seeing the owner looking at him, the peacock shook his body happily and opened his tail again.

"What is it doing?" Apollo asked when he saw it.

"Open the screen." Hera said.

"What's the purpose of opening the screen?" Apollo continued to ask with a curious spirit.He didn't have the uneasiness and apprehension of the gods he met for the first time with Hera, but he was very familiar with it and could chat.

"I don't know either." Hera said frankly.

He actually thinks that the peacock looks better without opening the screen, at least it won't look like a bulky mobile screen.

Looking back at the peacock, Hera looked at Apollo and asked, "How did you get in?"

This temple was enchanted by Zeus, and no one except him could enter.It was a pleasure to meet Apollo Hera.After all, anyone who stays in the same place all day will get bored, even if he is a long-lived god.

"Just came here at random." Apollo replied truthfully.

"Really?" Hera looked thoughtful.

After learning Seran's name, Apollo explained his identity to him.

"I am the eldest son of God King Zeus, Apollo, the God of Light." Apollo puffed out his small chest, proud of his identity as Apollo.

But the god in front of him looked indifferent, as if he just heard the most common thing.

In the past, no matter who knew his identity, he would show reverence to him, but this god obviously didn't.

Apollo was a little disappointed by this, and it showed on his face.

Not understanding the source of Apollo's disappointment, Hera then asked, "Who is your mother goddess?"

"Leto, Goddess of the Starry Night." Apollo blinked and said.

The starry night gave birth to light.

His answer was beyond Hera's expectations. He thought it would be Hera, the goddess of marriage, after all, she was Zeus' legitimate wife.

"And Hera?" he asked.

"Are you asking if she has any children? She has not," Apollo replied.

At this time, the queen of heaven did not give birth to Ares, the god of war, Hephaestus, the god of fire, and Hebe, the goddess of youth.

When Nymph returned to the palace and heard from the fairies that Apollo had not returned, she was not in a hurry at first.Because Apollo always has his own ideas like that, and doesn't like the constraints of others.

"Maybe His Highness went to play elsewhere." Nymph Goddess said.

But when she waited until it was almost dark, Apollo hadn't come back, so she became a little anxious.

"Are you going to notify the God King?" Nymphs and fairies surrounded the goddess, each with anxious looks on their pretty and youthful faces.

When the goddess was thinking about whether to tell Zeus, Apollo came back by himself.

He stood by the gate of the palace and looked at the nymphs forming a circle, and said to the goddess among them, "What's wrong with you?"

Apollo didn't realize how much his disappearance would cause waves among this group of powerful nymphs.

"Your Highness, where have you been?" Goddess Nymph asked Apollo, taking Apollo by the hand and leading him to the temple.

Apollo didn't want to tell others about his meeting with Hera this afternoon, but lied that he fell asleep under the tree and didn't wake up until dark, which was too late.

The goddesses and nymphs believed him and believed Apollo's words.

A smug flash of glory flashed in Apollo's eyes when they couldn't see them.He thought about finding another time tomorrow to sneak out of that temple to play with Hera.

Of course, neither the Nymph Goddess nor the fairies in the temple knew about it.

Whenever night fell, Zeus would go to the temple where Hera lived, as if just seeing the vacant place in his heart could be filled.

Aphrodite's potion was no longer as effective as it was when Hera drank it, and even Aphrodite herself couldn't explain the decline in efficacy.

"Don't you think that god is different from ordinary gods?" Beauty said to Zeus.

Zeus frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"As long as he has feelings and drinks my potion, he will definitely fall in love with the first person he sees when he wakes up, but are you sure he loves you?" Aphrodite never believed that her potion was out question.

Facts have proved that Aphrodite's conjecture is correct, but they don't know about it at present. It turns out that Hera is an emotionless god.

Zeus was stopped by the words of the god of beauty.

After Zeus left, he never took the potion from Aphrodite in person, but the gods in his god king's palace did it for him.

The gods from the Temple of the King of God came to the Temple of Beauty more and more frequently, although Aphrodite was deeply troubled by this, and even had some conflicts.So now she herself can't tell whether taking such a large amount of potion will affect the body of the god.

But Aphrodite knew that Zeus would not give up easily.Unless that god can really fall in love with him.

The silver wine glasses made a crisp sound when they touched each other, and ripples appeared on the surface of the wine, disturbing the bright moon in the sky reflected in it.

Putting the potion into the wine again, Zeus didn't care whether he drank Aphrodite's potion or not.

Every time Zeus came, he would tell Hera what happened outside.And Hera listened to him with a smile, and occasionally added a few words of her own thoughts.

Quiet time flows around them, and Zeus even wants time to stop and stop flowing.

He was happy that Hera did not leave after all, but he hated that he still did not fall in love with him.

Hera did not tell Zeus that she had met Apollo today.Like Apollo, he wanted to keep his secrets.

In recent days, Hera always thinks of Hades, Campbellis and the others in the world.But whenever he wanted to leave, Zeus would ask him not to.He actually obeyed Zeus's words and gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

Why did I become like this?Hera didn't understand.

Although Zeus knew that the effectiveness of the potion was not as good as usual, he didn't expect that the effect on Hera was getting smaller and smaller, and sooner or later he would lose its effect.

An hourglass floated in mid-air, which contained powerful treacherous divine power, and even Tartarus, the god of the abyss, changed color when he saw it.

"This is the hourglass of time that records the progress of the world," Okkas said.

Tartarus looked at the hourglass and then at Erchas and said to him: "The hourglass stops, does it mean that the progress of the world also stops?"

"That's right, someone has disrupted the arrangement of fate." Erkas said.

"You mean the external god that appeared before?"

Erchas said to Tartarus: "You are half right."

"What about the other half?"

"Although the appearance of that god affected the progress of the world, the problem lies with Zeus."

Tartarus hesitated to speak, he wanted to hear Erchas continue.

"The gods that should have appeared, and the heroes on the ground did not appear at the time they should have appeared, so the development of the world has stagnated."

Erkas reached out and took back the hourglass, saying, "What we should do is to put things right."

He was speaking to Tartarus.

This time it was because of Hera's matter that he had to come forward. If other situations happened in the world, he would have to rely on Tartarus.

Erkas didn't want to be disturbed in his sleep to deal with the affairs of these junior gods.

Being looked at meaningfully by Erkas, the god of the abyss had the urge to run away.

The author has something to say:

After Erkas taught Tartarus, he left the job of maintaining the world to his son and continued to sleep in the chaos.
