[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

He never thought that Persephone would refuse to return to Olympus. He still remembered that the last time he brought Persephone back from Hades under the order of Zeus, Persephone almost wept with joy.

But only after such a short period of time.

Hermes looked at Persephone.

The divine light on his body could not reach Pluto, so when he looked at Persephone at this moment, the appearance of the other party was not clear. The other party was wrapped in Pluto's cloak, and from Hermes' line of sight, he could only see The profile of the opponent.

Beautiful but cold, like a statue, without any emotion, emotions seem to be far away from him, and he doesn't have much reaction to the conversation between him and Hades.

"Dear Persephone," Hermes said, "Your mother misses you very much. This deep missing makes her haggard. The grass withers, the flowers wither, and the world changes. Look, if you miss her like your mother misses you, come to Olympus with me."

The other party finally turned his head to look at him, but the words he said were full of sarcasm: "Can I stay in Olympus forever?"

"This..." Hermes was at a loss for words for a moment, and he swallowed all the words he had prepared.

At the same time, he was surprised by the almost emotionless tone of the other party.

It seems that Persephone has really changed. He dared to help the person Leto hated. Artemis sent several messages but remained indifferent. This is not the order of Hades, then it is... She hates everyone in Olympus.

Hatred is a very terrible emotion. Think about Hera, she is the supreme goddess and the protector of all women. It is only because of Zeus's love that she is always jealous of beautiful women and makes her hate all women. A woman favored by Zeus.

And she protects all women, but she hates women who find other men behind their backs.

Hatred will make Hera do unimaginable things, and jealousy will make Hera unreasonable.

Why Persephone came to the underworld, only few people know.

The reason why Persephone picked the sacred flower symbolizing Hades was planned by Hera. That's why Artemis and Athena didn't say a word when Demeter was frantically looking for her daughter. It's very simple, because Zeus fell in love with this beautiful and innocent girl, even though her birth was once suspected by Zeus and Hera, even though Zeus never gave Persephone a prominent god, but with Persephone Faune became more and more beautiful, and Zeus went to visit Persephone more and more times, and finally Hera let her go.

Jealousy, hatred, once such emotions appear on the gods, they will completely change them.

And Persephone undoubtedly hated everyone on Olympus at this time.

So she became indifferent and ruthless, and she no longer had the smile of the past.

"Persephone." Hermes frowned slightly, "Aren't you worried about your mother?" He knew that no matter how much Persephone hated the gods of Olympus, she would not ignore her My own mother, if she wanted to bring Persephone back to Olympus, she could only use Demeter as an excuse.

"Pomegranate." Melos said softly, "I ate the pomegranate." After he finished speaking, he turned his head away from Hermes.

He can't guarantee that he will look at the other party for a long time, whether the other party will notice something strange, he is really nervous at this moment, and after imagining that he is not the same person after all, it is really not difficult for Hermes to find him.

But at this time Hermes was a little distracted by the transformation of "Persephone", and at this time "Persephone" was not as easy to talk as before, so Hermes did not notice Melos Something is wrong, after all, Hades is there, which has affected Hermes' judgment.

"Pomegranate..." Hermes repeated, only then did he remember what the other party was talking about.

If you eat pomegranates from the underworld, you will stay in the underworld forever!

Hermes gritted his teeth, but he couldn't blame "Persephone". After all, the other party has been in Hades for so long, it is impossible not to eat the food in Hades all the time, but... why is it pomegranate!

Now there is no need for the prophecy of the Great Mother, nor the order of Hera, and it is impossible for Persephone to leave the underworld.

"Hermes, our queen has been recognized by the underworld, and he will belong to the underworld, not Olympus." The message from Olympus can be paused."

Hermes knew she was referring to Artemis sending a message asking Hades to deal with Niobe.

He pursed his lips.

He clearly saw Akarali's maintenance of "Persephone", but he knew that this was also the habit of Pluto.

Hades never took Zeus' orders seriously, and didn't talk about resistance, but he would not do things according to Zeus's will.

But Hades has this strength and ability. If the Great Mother God hadn't made the move, who would have stayed in the Olympus sanctuary?

"You can go back." Hades finally spoke, but did not intend to keep Hermes.

Hermes glanced at "Persephone" again. The other party didn't look at him, but leaned on Hades' chest and looked at the other side's face. Hermes really wanted to ask Hades , Is what he holds in his arms a statue?

But Hermes eventually left Hades.

It wasn't until he left that Melos finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tightly clenched hands finally let go.

It made him even more nervous than when he first faced Hades.

Hades reached out and picked him up.

Melos was taken aback, and subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck. He can't be blamed for this, anyone who is suddenly hugged by the princess will react like this subconsciously.

The people below looked at Hades' actions and each had their own thoughts, but Hades ignored them and returned to the apse with Melos in his arms.

"Worried?" He put Melos on the bed and let him lean against the head of the bed, asking in a low voice.

Melos nodded unabashedly.

He was really worried just now, if Hermes found out that he was not Persephone, then what would happen, he would not tell Hades, since Hermes walked into the front hall, his brain Almost blank.

"I'm here." Hades frowned slightly, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Melos' thoughts.

Melos smiled weakly: "I know you're here." He tried to hold the other's hand, but Hades didn't refuse, but kept looking at Melos.

"I know you are by my side, but I'm really nervous." Once Hermes finds out his identity, Zeus will try his best to enter the Hades and kill him even if the Hades is not strong. Let the existence that threatens you live, "If he finds me, then I, my mother and sister, will all be burned by the wrath of Zeus."

Hades took his hand.

"This is the first time I've met people from Olympus. I don't know how my sister used to get along with them. I'm worried that they will notice something is wrong as long as I say a word."

"So you've changed."

Melos nodded.

He had to convince everyone that Persephone was forcibly pulled into Hades by Hades, and none of the gods of Olympus stopped her, causing Persephone to become colder and ruthless.

Only in this way, the next time someone comes to Olympus, Melos will have some confidence.

Hades still didn't speak, and Melos was used to his taciturnity, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction with it.

"What I'm worried about now is...after Hermes returns to Olympus, will Zeus let anyone come over again." He stroked his forehead helplessly, "My mother changed all the growth laws of everything on the ground. gone."

"I know." Hades said, "Zeus returned to Olympus because of this incident." It also indirectly explained why he would suddenly return to Hades instead of staying with Poseidon for a while before returning .

"She is for me," said Melos.

"Don't think too much." Hades stretched out his other hand to take off the veil on his head, stroking his smooth black hair, "It'll be fine."

Melos nodded.

Olympus God Realm:

Hermes knelt on the floor of the temple and told everything about what he had encountered in the underworld.

Sitting on the throne, Zeus and Hera couldn't help frowning when they heard Hermes' words.

Besides Zeus and Hera, Leto and her two children were present.

Hearing Hermes' description, the people present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

After Hermes stopped talking, Zeus finally spoke: "So, Persephone really lost her beautiful smile and became like a statue, just like the rumors, cold and heartless?"

"Yes." Hermes replied.

"Thank you, my child." Zeus nodded, "Go down."

Hermes slowly exited the temple.

In the temple, no one spoke for a while.

Artemis bit her lip, she really couldn't understand why Persephone really had such a big change after just changing the environment.

"This matter..." Hera thought about it, and finally looked at Zeus, as if asking for his approval, "That's it."

Zeus kept frowning. Hearing Hera's words, he seemed to think for a long time, and finally nodded.

In any case, Zeus knew that Hera would not allow Persephone to stay in Olympus. In this case, he had to acquiesce in Demeter's behavior.

"I don't agree." Leto said coldly.
