[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

The moon and stars were sparse, and Delphi was quiet.

Originally as the center of the world and the transit hub of the heavens, the earth, the sea and the underworld, Delphi is crowded with people no matter day or night.But during the day, a sea ship came to the port of Delphi, and twenty brutal soldiers forcibly dispersed the passers-by, cleared the road from the port to the temple without leaving any ants behind, and by the way, put the bronze knife on the temple On the necks of the guards, there was panic.

Immediately afterwards, the two kidnapped Doctors Thessaly carried a stretcher tremblingly. On the stretcher lay a bloody, half-breathed Her Royal Highness Princess, and forcibly broke into the temple.

The twelve male priests, large and small, turned their heads in unison, and the convulsive female priestess sitting on the three-legged bronze tripod also stopped singing.

The priestess raised her head, looked around with cloudy eyes, her eyes were out of focus, and she turned out to be a blind person.

"Who are you?!" The leading male priest stepped forward and asked.

Immediately afterwards, a golden saber was placed around his neck, and a gloomy voice said something incomprehensible in his ear.

The two kidnapped doctors looked at each other, and one of them immediately translated the Egyptian language that no one could understand into Greek: "I beg the mercy of the God of Light, and save the life of Her Royal Highness."

This shows how important it is to be proficient in a foreign language when encountering kidnapping.

At last the head priest turned the corner.

The one on the stretcher seems, seems, maybe, maybe, is the Princess Thessaly who just came half a month ago?

However, is there anyone who puts a knife on the priest's neck and asks for help?

The priest was furious, with serious consequences.

He turned his head and said a few words to the blind priestess on the three-legged bronze tripod. The priestess nodded in the direction of the sound, and then began to twitch all over her body, foaming at the mouth, and went mad again.It is said that this priestess can communicate with Apollo, the god of light, and is the treasure of Delphi's town temple.

Once the priest went mad, the consequences were very serious.

A ray hotter than the sun descended from the sky, covering the entire Delphi.The priests had been prepared for a long time, kneeling on the ground together, their foreheads pressed against the ground, not daring to look directly at the fiery light.Only the priestess on the three-legged bronze tripod grinned, muttered something, and raised her head to look up at the sun in the night sky.

Those who had no time to kneel down had already been temporarily blinded by that ray of light. It is estimated that within ten days and a half months, they would not be able to see clearly.

Diana, who fell into a semi-conscious state, slightly opened her eyes, but there was only a large blood-red light in front of her eyes.

Her injury is too serious.

She could no longer see clearly when Apollo came down from the sky, let alone who the two girls in white skirts were following behind him.I only remember those golden eyes in the vast light, like the fire in the bright night, burning all the coldness and darkness in the world.

Golden... eyes.

There is also this kind of appearance that strongly shows the sense of presence...

She clearly remembered that Apollo's eyes were as blue as the sea, deep and gentle.

She clearly remembered that Apollo never bloomed brightly in the night sky.Because he represents almost strict rationality, and has always kept the order of the operation of heaven and earth.The dark night sky belongs only to the bright moon and the stars, never to the sun.

She raised her hand slightly, barely blocking the light, and looked through her fingers.

Those golden eyes that made the sky and the earth eclipsed, and the sun and the moon were bleak, were empty, icy cold, and had no emotion at all.

Apollo walked along the marble-paved road to the temple. Large tracts of palm trees were full of flowers, and the rich fragrance filled Delphi.He didn't even look at Diana, who was covered in blood on the stretcher, and glanced at the Egyptian soldiers holding swords one by one. After crying out in pain one after another, the sword made of bronze melted into boiling copper water under his scorching eyes. The palms of the soldiers were scorched black.

Diana struggled to get up, but fell heavily to the ground, and the barely scabbed wound burst open again, the pain was so painful that she could hardly help crying out.

A girl in a white dress came out from behind Apollo, frowning, as if she saw something disgusting: "Why did you bring her into the temple to shame the holy realm of light?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of another girl's mouth: "Throw it out, isn't it?"

Apollo glanced at the priests in front of him coldly, without saying a word.

Diana pressed the wound and coughed up a few froth of blood.

Although she could see nothing in the light of Apollo, she heard the voices of the two girls.

The first one is the epic goddess Calliope under Apollo.

The second one is Daphne, the goddess of water who has disappeared for a long time.

And the screams of the soldiers just now, and the light in the night sky that can crush the sun...

Apollo, changed.

He put away his compassion for the human race, put away the rationality and gentleness of the God of Light, and became arrogant and unreasonable.

why?

Diana coughed up another mouthful of blood, tried her best to press the blood gurgling wound, desperate for the possibility of permanent blindness, suddenly raised her head, and looked directly at Apollo, the God of Light.

He has lost weight.

The eye sockets were deeply sunken, the cheekbones protruded slightly, and there was a strange golden line on the forehead.The face that was originally deep and plump like a sculpture was slightly thinner, but it added a bit of masculinity.For some reason, he frowned from time to time, and returned to his original state after a while.

Even in his time as a mortal, he was still handsome and handsome.I haven't seen him for more than ten years now, how could he lose weight?

You must know that Apollo has long since returned to the throne as a god, and the ten years in the human world are only ten days to him.

"Hello." The goddess of epic said dissatisfiedly, "You called your Highness over in the middle of the night, you must show something?" She cast her eyes on the blind priestess, who seemed to be ill again, half crazy and half stupid. Sitting on the tripod bronze tripod twitching.

Apollo remained silent.

In the end, the leading male priest stated the matter briefly and quickly.In general, a human princess was about to die, and wanted to ask God for help, but sent dozens of guards to put knives on the necks of the priests, without any sincerity at all.

He also specially added: "Princess Colonis has come for the second time."

"Apollo."

Before the priest finished speaking, Her Royal Highness, the blood-stained princess, stood up staggeringly, pressed the wound, and tried her best to open her eyes in the dazzling light.

"Not for the ebb and flow of the tide, not for the ebb and flow of the tide, neither forsake nor forsake, and do not sue Lishang."

"As an arrow and a light, shine upon the darkness of eternal night."

"As the sun and the moon, ascend to the vastness of the sky."

"Not afraid of the collapse of heaven and earth, not afraid of the separation of the sun and the moon; living together, dying together, fate together, and never forgetting together."

"I sincerely conclude this contract, I sincerely swear this covenant, and I only hope that I will be with you forever and ever."

She sang word by word, with an ancient rhythm, long and long.

This is what they said when they were just born and playing around on Dros Island.Apart from them, no third person in the world has heard these words, not even the Night Goddess.

She looked into Apollo's eyes quietly, but she didn't find any familiar look in those golden eyes.

The face of the epic goddess changed.

Daphne's complexion also changed.

One by one, the priests opened their mouths wide and their jaws dropped in shock.

"Ah."

Apollo chuckled, his gaze still cold and unfamiliar.

"Are you offending me? Human princess."

He paused, and then said, "Or, are you treating me as someone else?"

There was a bit of love and tenderness penetrating into the bones in the voice, but even Apollo himself couldn't explain why.

Diana clutched her wound, half knelt down, gasping for breath, her eyes were burning with pain.

I wanted to cry, but my eyes were so dry that there was no water in them.

In the end, a familiar but somewhat cold female voice said in her ear: "Moon God, he is already dead."

It's Daphne.

Diana forced a smile: "Is this the second time, or the third time?"

"It really is you." Daphne's voice was a little lower, but there was a bit of pity and sadness of a rabbit dead and a fox, "Moon God is dead, dead clean, and even his body has been turned into powder. There is only Moon God in the night sky." The moon made of river mud will never have the goddess whom Apollo loves so much."

"You want, well..."

"Otherwise, I will feel guilty..."

She breathed lightly in Diana's ear, and said something that didn't make sense.

"Because I will feel that I took everything from you out of thin air. Don't make me feel guilty, Diana. Otherwise, I will definitely make you feel more guilty than I am, guilty forever."

Diana coughed a few times, her heart ached even more.

I don't know if it was because the wound burst open, or because of the phrase "Moon God is already dead".

She sprayed blood on Daphne's snow-white dress and fell to the ground.

Many noisy voices came out of nowhere, and there were many chaotic figures.She couldn't see clearly, and she couldn't hear clearly, and the phrase that Luna was already dead was lingering in her mind, as well as Apollo's strange and cold eyes.

Luna...has long...dead?

died?

she died?Just die like that? ? ? ! ! !

It's really a big joke in the world!

She slapped the bed board hard, trying to use her strength to jump up, but was pressed down by a pair of dry and warm hands, a familiar and hoarse voice echoed in her ears:

"I originally thought that I would lose you forever..."

She opened her eyes, but only saw a cold and silent darkness.
