[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

When Orion arrived, the festival of Dionysus was only half over, and the festival of Pyanepsia had even just begun.The atmosphere of carnival was everywhere in Miletus. The boys and girls dressed up as the god of the sun and the god of the moon danced joyfully.In the final scene of the sacrificial dance, the night will always fade away, the world will be shrouded in eternal light, and then the sun and the moon will rise together.

Diana sat on the high city wall, gulping down wine.She drank lightly, and soon became a little drunk. She only vaguely saw a tall young man smiling at her at the bottom of the city, and then said to her: "I thought you would interfere."

"Intervene? Intervene in what?" She stared at him in a daze.

"Intervene in the war between Athens and Atlantis." As the other party said, he climbed up the city wall in one breath, picked up the half-can of wine she drank and gurgled, and then threw the empty can in a proud manner. "Do you want to go hunting with me?" he asked.

He deliberately emphasized the word "and me".

Diana subconsciously looked at the sun in the sky, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head slightly.

The other party clicked twice, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that I still underestimated the weight of Apollo in your heart."

She opened a can of wine again and continued to pour down her throat: "I just don't want to make him angry." Every night, when Apollo lay down beside her, he would always frown deeply.The only thing she can do is to make him feel more comfortable during the day and evening.

The other party clicked tut twice, shook his head and sighed: "Forget it. It seems that I will not chase you in this life plus the next life and the next life." I heard about a method that can restore some of your strength, do you want to try it?"

Diana tried her best to distinguish his words, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and confirmed that she heard correctly, then nodded seriously: "I think."

No matter what method, she wanted to try it.

The other party picked her up and jumped down the high city wall, but in a short while she was in the woods outside the city, and Diana didn't even have time to say her objection.She rubbed her eyes again, trying to search for the other person's name in her mind: "...Orion?"

"Why, suddenly you find that I'm handsome?"

"Put me down." Diana tried to speak clearly, but her tongue was always a little knotted, probably because she was drunk.

Well, she was actually drunk?

The drinking capacity in this life is really shallow.

"Diana." Orion put away his playful smile and said to her seriously, "I lied to you just now."

Diana was stunned, and it took her a long time to turn her head: "You..."

"If I didn't deceive you like this, how could I deceive you out of Miletus?" Orion laughed "hehehehe" a few times, with a look of "look how smart I am".

Diana's brain half-stuck with alcohol finally came to her senses, and subconsciously got up to leave.She struggled a few times, but her body was limp and unable to move, Orion threw her heavily on the grass, squatted down, and looked at her seriously: "Diana, I drugged you. "

"Huh?...Huh." She rubbed her eyes again, and laughed twice.

"So how about we have sex? It's right here, wild." He had a sincere expression on his face, but Diana really wanted to pick up a brick beside him and slap his not ugly face hard. Give it a hard pump.

Orion stared at her for a long time, but only saw calmness and astonishment in her eyes. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't have any emotion that could be called "fear" or "fear".He couldn't help being a little frustrated: "Hey, can you give me some feedback? Your appearance will make me feel like a failure."

"You have failed." Diana struggled to get up, but fell back softly again.The grass was so hard that it hurt her back from the fall.

"...Forget it." Orion shook his head regretfully, "I originally wanted to drug you, and then make things happen with you, in front of the sun, and of course in front of the sun god." He sighed deeply, "But I actually found out that you were drunk. Drugs, of course it's saved. Well, Diana, the suit you gave me 20 years ago is not bad, I like it very much."

—My dear friend, your mind jumps too fast.

Diana didn't know how many times she rubbed her eyes, feeling drowsy and regretting drinking so much.But these days, she has been lingering on Apollo's "no", lingering on Apollo's deep frown in his dream and the little balls of light he fed her one by one... Her head hurt even more, she subconsciously He wanted to find wine, but Orion held down his hand.

"I'll be serious with you." Orion asked her word by word, "What do you really think about the defeat of my father and Atlantis?"

"Um... let go..."

She struggled a few times, and finally broke free from Orion's grasp. She tilted her head and thought for a while, her eyes were still hazy with drunkenness, and she seemed to vaguely see that the sky was getting dark, and a familiar figure gradually approached her , with a faint fragrance of palm flowers, the footsteps were deliberately slowed down.

She snapped her fingers and counted one after another:

"First, the friendship between you and me doesn't seem to be enough for me to work hard for Atlantis."

"Secondly, Atlantis not only wants to be the overlord of the sea, but also to attack Athens. This caused Athena's strong rebound, and it's up to me... Well, what's up with me?"

"Third, as you said, I love Apollo."

I don't know if it was because of drinking, but she said the word "love" easily.After another moment, she seemed to realize what she had said, and smiled helplessly, "You have become smarter, Orion. You have successfully caught my psychological blind spot, knowing that I am eager to regain strength... She said, standing up staggeringly, so sad that she wanted to cry, "No matter whether you have other thoughts about me, it is impossible between you and me. Whether it is the past, present or future."

"Hey." Orion seemed a little dissatisfied, "Is it really okay to talk so full?"

Diana pinched the center of her brows, her head became even more dizzy, there was a hazy water in her eyes, and her breathing was slightly stagnant: "It took me thousands of years to recognize him, and it took me another three full years to recognize my own heart. Orion, no matter you are a good god or a bad god, and no matter what you want from me, I will always have only one sentence: Everything about me belongs to Apollo and will always be Only for Apollo. No matter what he becomes, whether he is good or bad..."

As she spoke, her chest felt tight and painful.

"Even though he doesn't believe that I have been reincarnated at all, and that I haven't really died, my mind has never changed. Apollo, he is my life."

She also didn't know why she said such words to Orion.Maybe it's because I drank alcohol today, or maybe it's because I've held it in for too long.The hazy water in his eyes gradually turned into large expanses of wetness. He staggered back two steps, but unexpectedly fell into a warm embrace.

Looking up, a pair of bright golden eyes were quietly looking at her with a little suspicion.

She turned to look at Orion, some wanted to cry, some wanted to laugh.

She said: "Look, you actually attracted Apollo...His Royal Highness."

When she said the word "Your Highness", her breathing stagnated slightly, tears could no longer be held back, and big ones rolled down.

"Orion." She heard Apollo say in a deep voice, "20 years ago you told me that you couldn't hold back your love for Diana; today you took Princess Coronis away from me without authorization, She begs..." He slowly closed his eyes, and then slowly tightened his arms, "Are you deliberately reminding me that they have never been two people?"

Orion smiled "hehehehe" again: "Hello, Your Majesty the Sun God, long time no see."

"It's indeed 'long time no see'..."

Apollo gently brushed the long silver hair of the girl in his arms, and a trace of almost cruel coldness flashed in his golden eyes, "Whether you are serious today, or you are doing a scene with Koronis specially for me. I I have to admit that you managed to make me feel jealous."

envy?

Diana looked up at him in a daze, and unconsciously muttered to herself: "Why..."

"You never said this to me, Diana." Apollo closed his eyes and hugged her tightly, as if he was saying to her, and also seemed to be saying to the moon god in his memory, " You have never been willing to reveal your heart to me, and you have always been thinking and doing silently alone...Diana, on this point, we are almost exactly the same..."

His low voice echoed in the jungle, mixed with a bit of sadness for no reason.

"And you, Orion, since you told me that you want to pursue Diana, I have not let go of my surveillance on you. I admit that you are eloquent, and you know how to please the goddess better than anyone else. . . . Sid, is your wife beautiful?"

Orion blurted out almost in horror: "How do you know?"

"How do I know?" Apollo smiled softly, "I also know that you proposed to Onobe's daughter, but was hurt by Onobe, and was told that only sunlight can heal your eyes, so you So I went to the east. Don't you know, Orion, that I am the god of the sun and the god of medicine? Don't you know that the sun rises in the east?

Orion was too surprised to speak.

"At the beginning you told me that you had a very good personal relationship with Diana, and I thought about whether I should marry her to you." Apollo said softly, "But what did I find out?" ?I even found out that you violated Merope[2]! Orion, do you know that if one day Diana insists on going with you, I will really... kill you at any cost. "

"That's why I'm jealous of you, extremely jealous."

"I'm jealous that she has no defense against you, and she completely reveals her heart to you..."

Apollo looked down at her, his golden eyes were already dyed with a touch of clear blue.

"What should I do with you? Diana..."

She said that she has been reincarnated as a human being.

She said she also longed to regain her strength.

She said he was her life.

There had never been a moment when he wished so much that she was telling the truth and that she hadn't lied to him.

His Diana, did not lie to him.

The author has something to say:

[1] Zhou Zuoren's translation of "Shuku": Poseidon gave him (Orion) the ability to cross the sea.He married Sid at first, and Hera threw her into Hades because she came to compare herself with beauty.Then he went to Chios to propose marriage to Merope, the daughter of Onopion.But Oenopion got him drunk, blinded him in his sleep, and threw him on the shore.But he went to the forge of Hephaestus, took a child, put it on his shoulders, and told him to lead the way to the sunrise.There he was healed by the sun, and his eyesight was restored, and he hastened to attack Onobion.But Poseidon prepared for him a house under the ground which Hephaestus had built.Eos fell in love with Orion, snatched him away, and brought him to Dros.Because she had slept with Ares, Aphrodite told her to be in love forever.
