modern greek mythology

"It seems that we left the illusion in the woods and walked into another place."

"Why is this place so desolate..."

Looking around, they are just bare stone mountains, so hard that no grass can grow.

"Yes, isn't Gaia the goddess of the earth? It stands to reason that the place where she lives should be full of spring and evergreen."

"Yes……"

It doesn't match the dream he saw here.

Could it be that this is another test set by Gaia, or is this her true state of mind?

...hopefully not the latter.

"Let's go, no matter what, we can't turn back."

"Ah."

The two were walking along the mountain road, when suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound from behind, and a black shadow flew past them!

Apollo has quick eyes and quick hands, so he quickly caught it!

Take it over and see that it is a white arrow feather.

Apollo recognized it, and immediately called out, "Diana, is that you?"

Footsteps came from behind, and after a while, Athena and Diana appeared in front of them.

"Apollo!" Diana ran over with a smile, "I heard your voices, but I wasn't sure, so I used arrows to find out."

"Great! You are all right!" Apollo hugged his sister happily.

"Yeah, we walked in the woods for a long time, but thanks to Athena, we got out!"

Athena was not very excited when she saw them, she just said lightly: "Let's go, now is not the time to rejoice, we don't know what danger is waiting for us ahead."

"Well, since everyone is here, let's set off together!"

So a group of people embarked on a journey, Apollo opened the way in front, Hermes and Diana were in the middle, and Athena docked her tail.

Athena, who was walking behind, kept staring at Hermes in front, her eyes still vigilant.

The four of them walked together on the rugged mountain road, taking every step carefully.

Compared with their previous flying speed, this is simply incomparable.

"My God, when will we go this far?"

Diana began to miss the days of flying freely in the sky, and she was really not used to walking like a human being.

"No way, if you can fly, you should try it first."

Diana had no choice but to keep silent. She was swept away by the hurricane that day. Fortunately, she was hung on a tree, otherwise she would have been seriously injured.

Just as they were walking forward boringly, there was a sharp cry suddenly, piercing the silent sky.

Everyone raised their heads together, and not far above, a giant eagle spread its wings and hovered.

Diana sighed: "If only I could grow wings like them now."

Athena said disdainfully: "If you want to grow you, I don't want it, it's ugly."

Hermes stared at the flying eagle in the sky: "Maybe we can let them give us a ride."

Diana's eyes lit up: "Hey? What's the way?"

"I think they are looking for food, why don't we treat it as food and let them take it away."

"Damn! Are you kidding me! I am a majestic hunting goddess, I usually beat them, now it's their turn to eat me?!"

Hermes spread his hands and said, "If you don't want to do this, then we can only walk slowly."

Apollo also said: "Hermes is right, these eagles are flying from other places, maybe they can take us out of here."

Diana murmured: "Let's talk about it, I don't know if it passed by..."

Facts have proved that Hermes is right.

After the circling goshawk found them, it honked loudly in the sky.

Then, there were several huge goshawks flying from all directions, looking at them from a height.

Only then did they know that the group of hawks were hunting nearby, and one of them spotted them and called their companions over.

The hawks gradually surrounded them, and one or two flew past them, testing their strength.

Diana struggled: "What should I do now, are they really going to take it away?"

Hermes smiled and said, "You can also choose to stay and walk around these mountains for three to five days."

Diana looked at the giant eagle, then looked at the endless mountain road without end, so she gritted her teeth: "Okay, I'll just follow you guys!"

While speaking, those giant eagles started to attack, and the four of them just made a symbolic resistance before being taken away by their claws.

"55555...It's so embarrassing, the majestic god was actually flew away by an eagle with his clothes in his mouth."

"Don't cry, it's good to have a ride with the wind, it's better than walking anyway."

"I warn you, no one is allowed to mention this when you go back!"

"Don't worry, we also want to save face..."

Those giant eagles flew fast, flapping their wings and passed a mountain top, and the great gods immediately regained the feeling of flying through the clouds.

The giant eagles flew for a while, and gradually descended.

Hermes felt that their nest was about to arrive: "Everyone is ready to land, be careful not to become food!"

The other three got ready to fight under Hermes' reminder.

I saw the eagles flying lower and lower, leading them to a cave on the edge of a cliff.

The four of them looked down—oh my god!

The cave is full of eagle's nests, and the eagle's nest is full of young eaglets waiting to be fed!

Diana yelled: "Hermes! Look at your bad idea!"

Hermes was also ashamed: "Sorry, I didn't expect so many..."

Apollo said decisively: "Okay, now is not the time to blame, find a way to get out of here!"

The giant eagle put them in the nest, and the little eagles couldn't wait.

Said to be a little eagle, the head is half the height of a person, the body is full of fledglings, flapping the wings that can't fly, and eating "food" with a pointed mouth.

"Sorry, we still have things to do! We can't be eaten by you here!"

Diana used bows and arrows, and others used daggers to drive away the eaglets that were attacking them.

Seeing the "food" resisting stubbornly, Eagle Father and Mother Eagle came over and wanted to kill them.

Diana bent her bow and shot an arrow, and shot down a giant eagle that stretched its claws towards them.

"Run to the gap over there!"

A group of people retreated while fighting, and went to drill those narrow stone crevices, so that at least the big eagles could not get in.

But the little hawks chased after him, chirping and chirping, and jumped up and down the crevice of the stone.

The four great gods moved quickly, climbing up step by step along the stacked stones.

"There is a hole above, climb up and you will be saved! Come on everyone!"

Everyone was trying their best to climb up. Hermes, who was climbing slowly, had his ass pecked by the bird's beak.

"Damn it! You bastard! How dare you peck me!"

Hermes stretched out his leg and kicked the chick that pecked at it.

The poor little eagle couldn't fly yet, so it just rolled all the way down.

"hateful!"

Hermes touched his sore buttocks. In order not to let the tragedy happen again, he ignored 21 and kept climbing up, and he was the first to climb up to the entrance of the cave.

The others also climbed out, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and patted the eagle feathers that were stained on their bodies.

Diana patted Hermes' injured buttocks: "How is it, is this a good ride?"

Hermes glared at her: "Go aside, everyone is evened!"

The four of them finally left the bare barren hills and walked to a relatively stable hilly area.

However, looking around, the surrounding vegetation is withered, and the sky is also gray.

Diana asked strangely: "This is unreasonable. The goddess of the earth gave birth to all things. How can she live in a place with lush vegetation?"

Apollo touched the dry tree branch: "My sun chariot can't reach this place, it seems that Goddess Gaia has been isolated from the world for a long time."

Hermes said sadly: "Her heart may have dried up..."

Athena, who was always behind him, suddenly asked, "Hermes, how do you know so much?"

Hermes laughed and said, "I'm just judging based on the environment. Think about it, this is a place governed by Gaia. A manager's state of mind affects the growth of everything here."

"Hermes is right," Apollo hurried over to make a rescue, "Athena, don't embarrass him anymore."

Athena had no choice but to remain silent.

Diana next to her smirked inexplicably.

When resting at night, Diana kept encouraging her brother: "Hey, this is a good opportunity!"

"What a good opportunity?" Apollo pretended not to understand.

"A good chance to get him back, don't tell me you don't want to!"

"Go away, you think we are here for an outing!"

"Business and personal affairs are both right, idiot!"

"I'm not in the mood right now..."

Apollo picked up a pile of dry wood and went over there to light a fire, so angry that Diana was anxious there.

In the distance, Hermes brought water and food, with a cheerful smile on his face.

There was still an uncontrollable ripple in Apollo's heart.

When sleeping, the four of them took turns to keep watch.

After Diana finished the first round, it was Hermes' turn to guard.

It was midnight at this time, the time when the night was darkest and thickest, and it was also the time when people slept most soundly.

Hermes added dry wood to the fire, then sat on a large bluestone and observed the surrounding environment.

There was silence all around, not even a gust of wind.

It was at this time that Hermes dared to show the fragility and loneliness that he didn't dare to show during the day.

I am alone, carrying alone...

"Hermes!"

In the quiet ears, a familiar call suddenly sounded, and Hermes' heart tightened.
