[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

The Pluto and the Queen of Pluto hastily ended their short vacation, jumped down to the earth with their newborn noble offspring, descended from the warm and bright human world to the hidden and dark underworld, and then boarded a black carriage to rush to the place where the earth was buried. source of the residence above the Acharon River.

The arm of the plant god is extremely beautiful and even, and his skin color is like pure white and delicate milk. The son of Pluto, who is lying in this jade-like arm, feels uncomfortable.No matter how weak and beautiful it looks, this is also a pair of hands used to pulling bows and arrows. It is not so much flexible wicker as it is a solid teng branch covered with a layer of fresh snow.

He maintained the attachment and satisfaction on his face, and quietly moved a little to release the sore back of his neck, and turned to the side to suffer a little crime, so that his back could be turned to the one who had been lying in the arms of the queen of the underworld. God the Father who casts a burning gaze on himself.

The flames of jealousy scorched his back. If he hadn't been worried about being discovered by the queen of the underworld, he had no doubt that he would be burned out into a huge hole.

Adonis hugged his well-behaved son happily, and did not notice the invisible confrontation between father and son. He suddenly realized that he had not yet named him, and couldn't help but look at the expressionless Pluto: "What is his name?"

Hades quickly replied, "Styx."

Adonis' expression suddenly became a little weird, and then he looked carefully at the innocent son in his arms.

Although he is a new father, he also knows that the name is not randomly chosen by his parents, but will be automatically engraved into his mind by the law at the moment when the godhead is condensed and matured.

The witnesses of the oath with the gods will defend the promise with the most powerful binding force. Even Zeus, the king of the gods, dare not challenge his authority. The Styx River has the same name, absolutely impossible It's a coincidence.

Adonis gently lifted Styx's armpits, like a white rabbit that was defenseless, so that his limp feet could stand upright on his lap. Shenli went in to investigate.

As if he knew nothing about what he was doing, Styx let the power from him flow through his body without any resistance, and his green eyes stared back, like a clear spring reflecting the silver moon, filled with water. Wholehearted trust.

Adonis was silent for a while, hesitantly said: "Is this... related to our marriage?"

Hades still answered quickly: "I don't know."

Adonis himself didn't have much expectations when he asked, he just sighed and accepted it silently.

From anyone's point of view, this is probably a good thing-usually the children of the gods can obtain less divine power than their parents, but as soon as Styx came into the world, the guardian of the oath was officially included from the silent river. The gods of the underworld, this is definitely not what the gods of Olympus could have expected, and it is impossible for them to accept it calmly.

Especially those who had sworn to Styx, once their slight violations were discovered, the power to judge and punish them all fell into the hands of this new god of the underworld. They became complete lambs to be slaughtered.

Just when I thought about how my marriage contract was reached by Pluto in a way of cheating and abducting, the flames that had faded to nothing but sporadic flames sprang up again, and even Styx, who looked like a miniature version of Hades, couldn't help it for a moment. So wait to see.Adonis twitched his lips, and precisely placed Styx into the arms of Pluto, who seemed to be concentrating on driving the chariot: "You don't have to pretend anymore. Even if I don't recover my memory, I know that these good horses are extraordinary Refreshing, I can only listen to your words when I am away from the saddle, so why do you need to bother to drive them away? If you are anxious and have urgent business to deal with, and their running speed is far from fast, it is better to stop playing this Kind of a trick."

Hades was not ashamed when he was exposed, but took it as a signal of permission and reconciliation, so he loosened the rope that tied the bridle, turned around and took a few steps, and entered the carriage, openly Sitting next to Adonis.

He casually grabbed Styx by the back of his neck, threw it into his arms, and immediately thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to hug him?"

"Even the most honorable couple in Olympus know that even if the relationship between the husband and wife is not harmonious, the children should not be affected." Adonis smiled slightly, as if unintentionally said: "Not to mention that you are the mother who raised him so hard. God, am I going to take away the opportunity to let him be close to you outrageously and unreasonably?"

Hades remained silent, putting on an attitude of admitting his mistakes honestly.For some unknown reason, Styx, who was suddenly rejected by the mother god, thumped in his heart, with a wooden face, slowly raised his head...

As expected, he was stared at by the eyes that seemed calm and calm, but actually concealed murderous intent.

He shivered instinctively, and before Father God thought that he was completely useless, he hurriedly crawled into Adonis' arms, and smiled at the doubtful person he thought was the cutest, and changed his words very naturally: "I want to be with God the Father."

Adonis couldn't help hugging Styx, who was eagerly burrowing in his arms, and almost broke free from the cloth torn from Hades' black robe that was only roughly wrapped around his body, and smiled slightly. The faint uneasiness in the scene disappears without a trace, like a singing wind passing by a steaming boiler, causing the white mist to drift slowly; or like a stone thrown into the center of a lake It disturbed the lakeside covered with dark clouds, and let the dark flock of birds spread their wings and fly away.

He even felt a little pity for Hades, who was unabashedly disgusted by his son.

Ruowu noticed his emotional changes, but Pluto stood still with great determination. Unless Adonis took the initiative to speak on the road, he would always look down and accept punishment, and his hands and feet were even more orderly. Adonis felt very uncomfortable instead.

Styx sighed deeply inwardly.

The carriage parked in the main hall. As early as the moment the entrance of Hades was opened, the twin gods who sensed that Hades and Queen Hades were about to return respectfully greeted them, but before they could open their mouths to report, they stood majestic and majestic. The queen of Hades behind the king of Hades, or more precisely, the child in his arms attracted their attention.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Unlike the stunned brother, he already had the answer in his heart after just one glance. As a loyal follower of Pluto, he also learned from Hypnos that Pluto has always been indifferent. , His face also showed a bit of joy and surprise that could not be concealed at this time.

Adonis couldn't help but smile, and continued, "Styx."

As the only heir of Pluto at present, Styx was watched enthusiastically by the subordinate gods, and was taken away to be resettled.

After sending the child away, Adonis looked at the tense Hades with a leisurely look, and said with a smile: "Now it's our turn to deal with our affairs."
