[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

After returning to the modern life, Melos felt that he was lazy and couldn't do anything.

The money in the account is enough for him to use it for a period of time without worrying about starving to death. Even if he is more frugal, he can use it for several years.

So this trip, he personally is very leisurely.

Although countries have been replaced by area codes, names have not disappeared.

Everything here is very similar to the buildings in his memory, Melos sighed leisurely looking at everything in front of him.

He knew that such a mentality was wrong, and he was trying to find a way to find the memories of his dreams from these old buildings.

That dream had a great effect on him.

But he couldn't do anything about it.

In my ears are the voices of tourists talking and laughing. With the continuous expansion of the wave of human immigration, there are no crowded crowds in front of the famous site.

Melos looked around, and suddenly, he stopped looking.

Not far from his right was a couple, the man looked about 24 years old, and the girl was about [-] or [-] years old, walking past Melos while talking and laughing.

When passing by Melos, the girl turned her head inadvertently, and the moment she saw Melos, the smile on her face disappeared.

She frowned stubbornly and looked away, but Melos could see that she seemed to be trying to hold back something.

She knows herself?

Melos' heart skipped a beat.

That's right, don't you know her too?In other words, shouldn't I also know her in my dream?

"What's wrong?" Melos heard the man ask.

The girl shook her head slowly, her pupils were a little loose, she said in a slightly hollow voice: "It's okay, let's go... I mean, I feel a little uncomfortable, my dear, let's go back and have a rest, shall we?"

Her boyfriend nodded, put his arm around her shoulders and walked away.

Melos stood still and watched their voices. The girl turned her head to look at him later, but turned back quickly.

He guessed right, she really knew herself.

that person……

Artemis...she looks exactly like the moon god she saw in her dream, and the man beside her...

The man who was burned by the flames of Apollo in his dream, his soul disappeared completely, the man who had no chance of reincarnation...

Melos can be sure that that person definitely knows her, otherwise she would not have such a reaction.

In the dream, Artemis didn't know him at first, but after his identity was exposed, and after the scuffle in the underworld... Artemis had naturally seen him...

But... that should have been just a ridiculous dream, and there is a difference between my current appearance and the dream me.

but……

Melos squatted down, feeling his whole body trembling.

That dream affected him more than he could have imagined.

Is there any way...to get him back to a normal life?

"Hey, are you okay?" He heard such a voice asking himself, raised his head, and saw a man, who was looking at himself squatting on the ground, with concern in his expression.

Melos shook his head slowly.

"You look very bad, maybe you need to go and see?" The other party took Melos' hand.

Melos frowned slightly.

The man seemed genuinely concerned about the tourists who seemed to be in trouble.

As a stranger who has never met before, he showed just the right amount of concern, not so enthusiastic that people feel he is uneasy and kind, nor so indifferent that people feel that his attitude is perfunctory.

But Melos always felt that there was always something wrong with the other party's impression of him.

"Even if you don't go to the hospital, I think you need to find a place to rest instead of squatting on the ground." The other party looked around, as if looking for a place where he could rest.

Displeasure rose in Melos' heart. Since he woke up, he has found that he cannot integrate well into this society, which has caused his temper to plummet recently.

But maybe the other party really just wanted to care about him, Melos endured his violent emotions, and before he could say anything in the future, he stretched out a hand from the side to free his arm from the man's hand.

"I'm sorry sir, my father is just too tired from traveling." A playful voice rang in their ears, the relaxed but slightly warning voice made the two big men stiffen .

Melos was unfamiliar because of the familiar voice, and the man probably didn't expect someone to disturb his affairs.

Melos slowly turned his head, and a woman stood beside him, with a smile on her mouth and a worried expression on her face, and something was reflecting the sun's light in the corner of her eyes.

She suppressed certain emotions, held Melos' hand, and tried to make herself smile: "Are you okay, Dad..."

Melos slowly stretched out his hand and touched the familiar face, and the other party rubbed his palm affectionately.

The man watched their interaction from the sidelines, his pale blue pupils flashed with obscure emotions.

The woman who appeared suddenly was obviously about the same age as the man she was looking for, both in their early twenties, but she called him "Father".

When the man thought of a certain phenomenon in society, he chuckled secretly, and didn't take the other party's "father-daughter relationship" seriously.

But that woman gave him a very bad feeling. Thinking about it, it is not easy for a woman who dares to play this kind of "game" with a man and dare to say it outside. He immediately took a step back and spread his hands: "Madam, You came just in time, sir, your..." He glanced at Melos, with an ambiguous look in the corner of his eyes, "Father, he looked very uncomfortable just now, I personally suggest that you take him to the hospital."

The woman raised her eyebrows and her eyes were quite sharp: "Mr. Bujiao, don't worry, my own father, of course I will take care of it myself."

The man spread his hands and said goodbye to them.

It looks like a well-meaning person who wants to help a stranger only to be embarrassed by the presence of his "family".

The woman snorted, turned her head and held Melos' hand: "Dad, are you okay?"

It took Mellus a long time to finally confirm that the person in front of him and the voice he heard were not hallucinations.

Or maybe he was dreaming again, but when he woke up to do this, what he wanted to do the most was to dream again?

He finally hugged each other: "Macaria, my child..."

The woman in his arms is... the child of him and that person, the child who gave Hades the courage to support him when he left his side!

"I must be dreaming, damn it, I've been dreaming recently." Melos murmured to himself but hugged the woman tightly, but even if it was a dream, to be able to see this child, he Really satisfied.

"No, Dad, you didn't have a dream, you didn't, I came to see you, you just couldn't remember it completely, you will be fine soon, Dad, my... father..."

A long time ago, that child grew up at an unimaginable speed as soon as she was born. After a while, she was able to speak.

"Mother……"

"Hey, call me father..."

"what?"

"Hey, call me father..."

"Father……"

Long-lasting memories flooded in, and the scene of Makaria's birth was clearly printed in front of him.

The anxiety and pain caused by Hades' disappearance were slowly soothed by the girl's soft voice.

These... are not dreams.

Melos hugged the woman in his arms tightly. She was no longer a girl, but she was still so close to Melos.

"Macaria..."

When I disappeared, I could still convince myself that it was a dream, but when the person connected with the "dream" really appeared, the pain and longing that were deliberately ignored came surging like a tide.

He... wants to see him.

Underworld:

The lake on the other side of the undergrowth suddenly made a violent noise, which is very rare in the underworld, especially after the king of the underworld disappeared after sleeping, and the whole underworld was completely silent.

Peleus was still by the River Styx, but when he heard the movement from the woods, he almost jumped up.

Akarali, who was with him, also stood up instantly.

"His Majesty is awake?"

"I don't know." Peleus watched nervously as the light gradually spread across the woods.

There hasn't been a light here for a long time since the Jihad many years ago.

Peleus was born in the year when Pluto was asleep. According to legend, he was the child of the blood and tears that flowed from his eyes and a broken arm of Pluto when the body of Pluto disappeared. He was born in the most turbulent year of the Protoss. Possesses powerful strength and an outstanding appearance, but he has been unable to grow up for so many years. Compared with Eros, who can freely change between the image of a teenager and a child, Peleus has been what he is today since he was born.

He has never seen the light. His father—influenced by his sister Makarya, and his name for his parents is completely opposite—sealed the entrance to the underworld at the beginning, and merged into the gate of the underworld with his own body, but the soul did not know Where did he go, so the gate of the underworld is sealed, without any spirituality, except for Hades, even the awakened "Abyss" needs some thought to leave the underworld.

Over the years, outsiders cannot enter the underworld, and people from the underworld can rarely be eliminated. Only Hades, the sleeping king of the underworld, has a way. Unfortunately, except for sending Makaria away, he never left that lake again.

So Peleus has never seen the outside world. He has always lived in this dead underworld, occasionally contacting his sister who was sent out by his "mother".

The light that appeared from the undergrowth spread across the entire underworld in an instant.

Peleus narrowed his eyes uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty is about to wake up." The light was spreading, the gloom was gradually dispelled, and Shakanochman rushed out in a hurry.

"It's time to wake up." Peleus pouted, "Sister has sent news that there is movement on Olympus."

"I sensed the breath of the Queen of the Underworld." Tartarus, who had already awakened, folded his arms around his chest, with a playful smile on his lips, "The Underworld is probably going to be 'lively' again..."
